Nights of the Lost Souls has been announced for Age of Conan as this year's Halloween event, and it is scheduled to go live following the release of Update 5.6. The event will consist of several new quests that will pit players both solo and teamed against three Lost Souls. Defeating these Lost Souls will earn brave adventurers a number of interesting rewards.

My favorite reward is the "Undead Backscratcher," which is basically a large bone handle with a detached undead arm affixed to it by flesh and bone wrappings. That's certainly one way to scratch an itch! Examples of other rewards on offer include the Fermented Brain Juice, which when consumed seems to take the usual process of drunkenness and inverts it, first you vomit, then you get drunk!

For more details on the event and its rewards, go here!

I'm not sujrprised no one posted a comment yet.

This reminds me a lot of LotRO where the devs develop inncuous bull crap called "festivals" (which mean absolutely nothing especially if you're serious at all about the game) to keep them amused. 

The reality of life is the players (read "paying customers") would MUCH rather see the employees working to develop better game content that actually means something.

How disappointing. 

The effective range of this effort is zero meters.

Well I might be the only one but I do appreciate LotRo festivals, same for WoW and AoC ones.
