Началась охота за всадником без головы


Ежегодно с 18-го октября по 2-е ноября в World of Warcraft проходит ХэллоуТыквовин. В 2009-м отмечающих ждут всё те же развлечения плюс возможность выполнить достижение Hallowed Be Thy Name (привет группе Iron Maiden) и заслужить титул The Hallowed (по-русски – "Тыквер").

Главный герой праздника – Всадник без головы – готов принять бой и в этот раз. Более того, перевозимые им эпики были обновлены до 200-го уровня и претерпели изменения свойств.
