Fall is here and to MMO players that means Halloween type events going on now into November. To me, holiday events in an MMO I play, are a way to step out of the normal grind and have some fun - be it event quests or dungeons usually by the time the event is over my bank is stocked with limited time only goodies. It's killing me to be without my PC as I'm missing all the fun but it's not too late for you so I've compiled a list of the what, where and when:

• Autumn Harvest in Rift - Now thru Nov. 12th featuring new masks, weapon skins, quests & more!
