Halloween 09 on GW

Took a skim through GWiki since I realized the Halloween event should have started by now. It looks like they added new quests for Halloween. Takes place in UW with custom PvE skills. Pity they're all solo quests though. I don't find UW pretty enough to go through the second longer one, but I might give the first quest a whirl.

Also a long list of henchie bar changes. Boo on the fact they removed Charge! from all of the warrior hench, now I don't have that extra speed buff to run new characters through Imperial Commendation farming. :P Non-earth ele henchies still suck. Monk henchies dropped their touch skills which is good. Rit spirit spammer henchies is good. EOTN henchies got secondaries which is...interesting. I'm kinda ambivalent about a lot of the changes to Ranger/Mes/Nec. Can't really comment about Sins and Dervs.

So as a matter of curiosity I was googling for slash references in Chinese history, and I stumbled on this link.
