I love Halloween an unusual, maybe unhealthy, amount. I have a black cat named Spooky, I have a collection of jack-o-lanterns, even a couple vintage ones, I have out all year. Halloween dish towels. Jack-o-lantern themed bag hook on my door. Black cat and Halloween pillows on the couch. Etc. I love anything spooky. But when I logged in today even I was just done with Shade's Eve. I know others may feel differently, and I know this is because the event ended early for a few hours one day, but... 
 
I guess all I'm saying is, even though I loved Shade's Eve, next year, and really for any game holiday, can we keep it closer to two weeks than three? I mean, even my favorite holiday gets old after nearly twenty days of it.

			I'm eager to see what's for the next event if they're doing  Draken Feastival *Thanksgiving* and Lopp mas * X mas*

Oh man this is sooooooo exactly how I feel about this....
 
For as neat as the "Shade's Eve" event was, it really needs to go the hell away now....2 weeks and counting is way too long for any holiday event to stick around. (both in game, and in real life.) Shade's Eve becoming a near permanent feature in the game is making me hate one of my favorite holidays by making me stare at it for too long. I think next year even 2 weeks is too long- one week or a long weekend would be plenty.
 
I also think it's really weird that Shade's Eve is sticking around for so long, and Hoverboard races only lasted for a handful of days. I think the Hoverboard races need work, but should be a permanent fixture in the game.

They extended it this year, for reasons we can hope won't be an issue this time next year.

Mmorpg holiday's events usually last about two weeks because of all the grinding players do to collect event tokens since they're daily. That's pretty normal and been going on for a long time.

Shade's Eve is an annual event.  Are the races only once per year as well?

			It lasted this long due to the outage it saw this past Saturday. Ideally it should last about two weeks. Don't worry, Jack Shade will pack it in tonight. ;)

2 weeks is fine.
 
It gives people chance to get what they want without having to farm it like lunatics. Not everyone can be sat at their PC all day, every day.

Right, that's fair enough...it's just that I didn't really like any of the prizes, and I like the quests even less- from that viewpoint, Shade's Eve was "over" in my eyes in less than an hour.
----
			Bah, party poopers. I'm still loving it. xD Of course I wouldn't want it year-round, but I certainly don't feel like it's worn out its welcome. The extra couple days were nice what with the accidentally outtage over the weekend.

			I feel like I'm quite done with it, I'm in the mood for winter event now :D

And natural sunlight too....man am I tired of the "dark but strangely ultraviolet" lighting from the event.
 
Oh and Carbine, for the love of the chaos gods...please don't start "winterfest" until at least mid december. I play video games to escape the real world, and in the real world I will have plenty of "winterfest" rammed down my throat from now until new years already- please allow the game to just be the normal game for a while in between now and then...seriously, please.

The 2-week of Winterfest is going to feel short in comparison, mostly because of travels and obligations during that time of year. :wacko:
 
Maybe I can just pretend I have chicken pox or something, so people leave me out of their holiday plans. Is that a valid excuse? :lol:

I'm not sure why an optional event running one extra week out of a year's 52 weeks would be all that important an issue to request alteration.  Can't you just not do the events/quests/instances that third week and ignore it? 
 
PS, think you are turned off to a holiday because of three weeks of Halloween decorations?  Just wait for the mid-November Xmas TV commercials to start up.

Holidays used to be special, then marketing became so obnoxious it killed them.

			Shase's Eve Topiaries and Occult items appear to still linger in world for Settlers. Just checked could find some at Jabbit-1, Wilderrun, Topiary Fool's Hope and Occult item Marshal's Haven.
