Fully-body Costumes Arrive for Halloween

I'm not an in-game holiday sort of person.  I loathe quests that have me running across the globe for frivolous items.  I rarely find themed holidays in games appealing.  I was all set to bypass Halloween in EQ2 Extended like I do in every other game, except that I received a wall of in-game mail from customers and guild members.  They all wanted to make sure I knew about the special furniture recipes that can only be obtained now. I rushed to the vendors to buy them and scanned through everything else that was for sale which was the beginning of my down fall.

I started clicking on items and noticed full-body costumes.  Not masks, no sir - fully body.  Say what?  As a result, I spent the first couple of hours running around acting like a fool.  First I walked, ran and jumped on very surface I could find. That's right Square Enix  (Final Fantasy series), us foreigners like to jump.  Get over yourselves!! After I'd had enough prancing around, I decorated my shop with candles, pumpkins and Jack-o-Lanterns. *Woot!*

I plan on doing some of the quests that drop unique house items and farm mobs that drop the components for crafting the special event furniture. I think they will be huge sellers after the event is over.  There are nice sofas in different shades, tables and the obligatory spooky items which I'll skip. I would have done a few yesterday but customers never sleep and since I'd been out of the game for a few days, people found me really fast!  *Smile*

WOW does a good job at dressing up Azeroth for holidays but I rarely bothered other than watching the fireworks on the 4th.  EQ2 grabbed me right away because of the quality of the costume. I mean damn, they look good.  And now that I'm officially a crafting whore, adding new furniture and recipes gets me at log-in.  *Smile*

Those candles look really nice! I so need some kind of time extending machine so I can play some and actually get to wherever you are located in the game. But I'm just too busy with my other games to even play any EQ2X. Once my VIP sub runs out in LOTRO in about 35 days I'll start playing and try to find you.

@Yarr - Glad you're having so much fun where you are now. I plan on being in EQ2 Ex for the foreseeable future. The only game on my horizon is GW2. I'd like to take a peak at FFXIV too but not until I go on some sort of hiatus from EQ2 Ex.
