[XXX] and the [SMF] Alliance plan to hand out over 10,000 ghosts-in-a-box to the participants of Ghostfest and release them all over Lion's Arch in one frightening ghostly display that the Guild Wars community will not soon forget. On top of it we will be recording the whole event to be posted on YouTube so that even the players who could not make it will be able to see the horror of Ghostfest. Each player participating will recieve 100 ghosts-in-a-box and 1 Transmogrifier Tonic free of charge. We will have random creatures handing out Globs of Ectoplasm as well as several contests where players will have a chance to recieve a Miniature Undedicated Mad King Thorn.

Looking good, cant wait to see who's computer can handle 10,000 ghost-in-the-boxes.

This sounds fun i will have to see whats going on that day, and see if i can come to it or not. I think that this event would be really interesting, but the one thing im curious about is the costume contest. But anyway, if I cant come it'll be on youtube so thats a plus ^_^

Yeah. If anyone wants to donate orr emblems just pm tammy. likewise if you have any questions, don't be shy she won't bite.

wow sounds good, I really wanna see all these ghosts.

Can't wait!

ATI Radeon 4890 1024MB GDDR4 graphics card VS 10,000 ghosts-in-a-box

Lets see who wins

Well, mine is just an everyday laptop. So yeah, you can just imagine what will happen that day, but I'll still be there to find out if I'm able to resist at least 30 seconds of ghost in a box, specially when they start to die.

Haha I cant even minimise the game on my laptop, wen I load it back up the screens all black and all I can see is the text boxes, these ghosts are gonna burn my graphics card.

Try to lower the gfx settings

EPICCCC

I wish it was easy as that, there already set to lowest. It's a work laptop so graphics spec is pretty shocking.

I know what you feel. My laptop does 20-30 FPS on the lowest settings.

Ghostfest-Related Alliance Happenings

Over on the SMF Alliance Forums, planning for this Ghostfest has begun in earnest. Here are a couple of notable threads on the SMF Alliance forums that anyone interested in Ghostfest should take a look at:


There is a banner/icon creation contest to help XXX prepare for the Ghostfest event itself, with prizes to the winner(s):
Create A Ghostfest Banner & Icon


XXX is asking for donations within the SMF Alliance for Ghosts In The Boxes to ensure the event goes off with a "bang":
Save Your Ghost In A Box & Decayed Orr Emblems




Get Involved!

We Farm Your [ECTOs] is a part of the SMF Alliance, and it's time we start branching out into the Alliance a little more than we have thus far. With that said, any help that we can give as a guild and community to the planning, contribution, and participation of Ghostfest would be greatly appreciated, both on our part and that of the greater SMF Alliance.

Awesome, ill try and not miss this event for sure. 10,000 ghosts-in-a-box spam = Win. Nice the see the Alliance is doing this for everyone.
