More of Ten Ton Hammer interview, not many answers, the questions seem to be about things they haven't developed yet: http://www.tentonhammer.com/gw2/features/interviews/core-gameplay

Some people upset that Transmutation Stones will be something you have to buy with real money. I'm not. These micro-transactions take the place of subscription fees. And the Transmutation Stones are similar to Guild Wars 1 costumes which change your appearance but not your armor stats and have to purchased if you want them.

About level 30 characters will be able to enter the catacombs of Ascalon (a dungeon) where they will encounter the ghosts of GW1 skill trainers, now hostile and dangerous bosses.

For players of the original Guild Wars games adding achievements to the Hall of Monuments in Guild Wars: Eye of the North will unlock rewards in Guild Wars 2. The rewards are mostly cosmetic, Arennet doesn't want to give GW players an unfair advantage over totally new players. Rewards include mini pets, weapon skins, armor skins, additional pets for rangers and titles. The article includes a rewards calculator. You enter a Guild Wars character name and it tells you what rewards that account (not just the character) has coming.

Note: after adding to the Hall you have to exit out of Guild Wars in order for the database to update before you can recalculate your points.

It's Halloween in Guild Wars, from Thursday, October 21st through Tuesday, November 2, 2010.

Some towns have been decorated and special collectors have arrived. More collectors will be arriving during the next few days. Supposed to be a series of new quests this year, they're not available just yet though. Also the costume maker NPCs are offering two new costumes, Raiment of the Lich and Lunatic Court Finery. However the costumes are not yet in the online store for purchase so the costume makers can't actually provide them for your characters today.

The big party will be October 31st when the Mad King Thorn returns to tell bad jokes and play "Mad King Thorn Says". Presumably he'll give away two different free masks, one in Lion's Arch and one in Kamadan, as usual.

Almost forgot, Pink Day in La was a big success. Guild Wars players donated over $10,000 to breast cancer research. My dervish is wearing pink armor.

Guybrush, that party sounds like lots of fun. "Mad King Thorn Says." Are you keeping track of the bad jokes?

Woohoo for the fund raising....Pink armor....I love it!

I don't know if they will be the same jokes this year or not. He doesn't come until October 31st.

The costumes are now available for purchase. One costume set is $6.99 or through November 21st your can buy both sets for $9.99.

This year the costumes each have two different possible masks. You can wear the Lich Cowl and not show a face or you can wear Aspect of the Lich and show a spooky face. Or of course you can show your own face. The Luncatic Court costume you can wear a burning the Helm which is actually a burning jack o lantern head or you can put on Headless Fineray for the body and your head is automatic blanked out. If you have both the Helm and Headless Finery on their will still be flames but no head.

"Flames but no head" sounds really funny!

If you do that you need to link us a picture.

Not going to keep those pictures there long.

I love the pumpkin head one. The ones with no head and the fire one are freaky!

I love the name Eagle Feathers!

Thanks for posting!
