Will There Be An Halloween Event?

I am wondering: Is Zenimax is planning anything related to a Halloween event or something for October 31st? Or will the Halloween event be directed by major guilds?

    Yes, it will last for 3 days starting on the 29th. More details incoming.

    3 days? Odd, most of MMOs' events last for weeks. If it's only 3 days, I'm eager to get more information about it =D

    So far, all I have heard is guild related. Since the Tamriel event closest to Halloween has already passed (commemorated by an RP event).

    I do hope that they do not do a formal Halloween event.

    Weird,.because I remember them saying we would not have any events from real life, or any specific.events in the near future by that matter, and I haven't read anything.about it. If we really had it as @GoatKnuckle said, it would have been advertised and mentioned In The Road Ahead article. So, sorry OP, but probably no Halloween events. (unless source is linked and I am proven wrong in which case I will apologise)

    A perfect idea would be making a Tamriel calendar for the game, but it would be hard to make events so fast, since there are like 4 game days for 1 real day. Anything related to Halloween that is not Halloween would be also awesome! (Maybe something with ghosts, zombies, costumes, pumpkins, anything)

    Can't we just have the new Emperor decree there is a new official holiday and blame it on the Imperials?

    Could always just extend Tamrielic festivities to an in-game week and get two days of real-time celebration out of them. Then again most Tamrielic holidays are pretty minor affairs.

    In german forum @ZOS_KaiSchober told us that there will be no official Halloween Event. Besides that they are open to support player created events.

    Bethesda (and now ZOS by association) are too used to letting players fix their games for them (all the modding for Elder Scrolls and Fallout games, and now the addon community for ESO). It's just laziness not to add events for us.

    My RP guild is hosting a tournament on 10/31/14. We have to use an offsite page for the dice rolls to make things fair but there will be jousting, horse racing, racing, and fighting contests.

    While the time for it has technically past, there is the Witches Festival on October 13th (13th of Frostfall in game).
    Today is the 13th of Frostfall, known throughout Tamriel as the Witches' Festival when the forces of sorcery and religion clash. The Mages Guild gets most of the business since weapons and items are evaluated for their mystic potential free of charge and magic spells are one half their usual price. Demonologists, conjurors, lamias, warlocks, and thaumaturgists meet in the wilderness outside (the city), and the creatures created or summoned there may plague Tamriel for eons. Most wise men choose not to wander this night. In Daggerfall, this is the Summoning Day for Mephala.

    This could have been worked rather easily in to an in-game event. Easily in that other games have had similar monster summoning events.

    I think Elder Scrolls universe don't have this type of holidays, but.. but! As far as I know, only Bretons would have an event such as this, knowing they are related to all that celtic stuffs.

    Hopefully they keep real life holidays out of Tamriel. I am okay with festivals or lore friendly holidays in game... but no Halloween/Xmas, etc.

    They should still have some sort of event regardless. Halloween isn't in MANY MMO worlds but it's still one of the best events in MMOs these days. They need to get moving and make it happen if some sort of event isn't already in the works!

    I remember them.writing shortly after release they wouldn't have holidays based on real life ones but might have some based Tamrielic ones but they had no plans for them for a while either. I am on my phone so can't really look it up now but don't you think they would have announced it by now? Only 2 weeks left and they announce everything weeks, if not months ahead.

    As much as I love this game, I will be spending my holloween trying not to die of alcohol poisoning. That being said, I'd only be cool with a lore friendly version of holloween hijinks. I'm usually very cordial with folks on here and open to others' opinions. But, anyone who want jack-o-lanterns, trick or treating, or anything similar to the crap in other mmos can... Can... Can... (Insert insult here).

    P.S. I usually would consider myself a very capable spewer of insults. However, I have really no idea what is consider inappropriate. I simply assume the 1st 20 things that come to my head would be censored. So, rather than look like a preschooler, use your *rainbows*IMAGINATION*rainbows*
