Progression servers
The Nights of the Dead events should activate on progression servers when the server reaches the era that they were originally introduced. For example, the events that were introduced in 2006 will turn on if the server has unlocked The Serpent's Spine. And the events that were introduced in 2010 will turn on if the server has unlocked House of Thule.
