Due to bugs the 2010 Halloween events were not working properly.  As a result [http://forums.station.sony.com/eq/posts/list.m?topic_id=171021 SOE decided] to have the events return.

<blockquote>Haunting of Norrath Halloween Events Returning 11/22 – 11/30</blockquote>

<blockquote>Greetings!</blockquote>

<blockquote>The Haunting of Norrath event will automatically end on November 7th. However, due to the issues experienced, the EQ team has decided to return the Haunting of Norrath over the period of November 22nd to November 30th.</blockquote>

Note: Some of the events did not work if you were over level 100:
{{Cquote|There was a level 100 limit on the script that determined which rock piles you could dig up, as well some of Edmund Strangeways's dialogues. This is now fixed, but since the Nights of the Dead events run until 11/05, it's likely this fix won't be seen until next year.||| [https://forums.station.sony.com/eq/index.php?threads/update-bugs-10-28-14.214685/page-5#post-3142353 Prathun, EQ Developer]}}
