    In-Game Events & Items on Sale

    The Witching Hour returns to DC Universe Online today (October 1 at 4:00PM). Featuring new base items, feats, styles, and a new title, this in-game event allows you to earn special in-game currency called Spooky Bites, which you can use in Skeet’s Boo-tique for tricks, treats, and creepy items for your base or guild hall.

    The Halloween fun has already begun in PlanetSide 2 with Nanite of the Living Dead. These pumpkin spawns will be available until November 10, so make sure you start harvesting those seeds so you can get your hands on special Halloween helmets! There are additional helmets, camos, and weapons available in the Depot.

    Though it’s always a bit scary to be wandering around in H1Z1, this year the horror will be amped up even more! Stay tuned for complete details about what that means, but in the meantime (if you dare) head into Survival Mode and/or Hardcore Battle Royale and see just how many zombies you can find!

    EverQuest introduced new scary, spooky items into the Marketplace today, including items created by Player Studio artists. These items will get you in the spirit before the Nights of the Dead, the returning annual event where you can check in with special festive merchants in the starting cities and find seasonal Heroes’ Forge armor dropping across the world! Nights of the Dead in EQ begins in-game on October 28th.

    In EverQuest II, the Marketplace is getting ready for Nights of the Dead! New items are available beginning October 1, and the event will return to Norrath on October 8th. The annual event will feature new illusions, rewards, and a new recipe book for tradeskillers. There are also returning favorite quests and earnable achievements from previous years.

    Over in Landmark, new props and materials will be added to the game in the middle of October to allow builders to get ready for a special Halloween Build-A-Thon and in-game party! Be on the lookout for Halloween Island, a special location just for themed builds. More information about the in-game party will be available later in October.

    So get ready to celebrate the tricks and treats of 2015! Happy Halloween!

    I see in the picture that the cards say "Use Daybreak Cash in all Daybreak PC Titles." Does this mean PS players need not enter as we won't be able to use it? Or, will PS customers get PSN cards instead?
    Thanks :D

    The only prizes we'll be distributing are the cards for the PC (Daybreak Cash). They're usable in all Daybreak Games on PC, so if you're playing something besides DCUO that way (EQ, H1Z1), you can use them for that. There won't be any PSN-specific equivalent, though. Your call on whether or not this means you want to enter!

    Hey, do you guys think we could do a new event next year? I mean, we've been playing the same content for the past 4-5 years now, it's getting pretty dull. Maybe we could face a new threat in the form of Faust's zombies, the Black Lanterns, Frankenstein, Vampire Batman, or maybe even a version of the Justice League that has been turned into various monsters?

    Now, my question is, does the costume have to be Halloween-themed (pumpkins or skeletons, ect) o can it be any? I have a great shot of my character as the Bat-Lantern from Batman: In Darkest Knight (the Elseworlds one-shot)
  8. Dexella Communications Manager


    The image needs to evoke a feeling of Halloween. Pumpkins not required, but at a glance, we should look and say "Okay, that's Halloween-y." If it's just any old screenshot/video, it will not be approved.

    Are these cards good for membership or daybreak cash only?

    Are cropped gifs acceptable? Last time my submission was removed. :(
  12. Dexella Communications Manager


    I'm not sure if the system will allow for .GIFs, which may be why it was removed (if it just showed as a broken link and we couldn't see it, for example). Can you do it as a video file instead? If you try to upload it and it's removed again, you should be able to submit a second entry. If not, let us know and we'll look into it.
  13. Dexella Communications Manager


    We'll have more info about this soon, but yes, they will be usable for All Access membership (PC only).

    Will there be a different card sold by walmart with the 500 station cash bonus like there used to be?
  15. Shadowdragon Devoted Player

    When these hit stores, how many different card amounts will there be?
  16. Dexella Communications Manager


    More info will be available soon. Nothing more to say just yet, but thanks for your questions!
