Halloween Event 2006
This article or section contains information about a past event in Homecoming: City of Heroes/Villains. It is provided for historical purposes.
The event ran from October 18th through November 2nd [1].
Overview
The Halloween Event for 2006 expanded on the 2004 event. In addition to Trick or Treating for enemy defeat badges, Event Salvage was added to the treats, which could be turned in for a free costume slot. As with the 2004 event, the Croatoa Giant Monsters Eochai spawned throughout the game (including the City of Villains zones), but was joined by Jack in Irons, and they awarded their own special Halloween badges.
The event ran in all zones in the game except Recluse's Victory, The Hive, Cascade Archipelago, The Chantry, and The Storm Palace.
Trick or Treat
- Main article: Trick or Treat
During this event, players were be able to 'Trick or Treat' by knocking (that is, 'clicking') on mission doors in the various zones. If a door was successfully knocked, then either a treat was awarded in the form of inspirations or costume salvage, or else a trick was pulled, which spawned Halloween-specific enemies from the clicked door.
Giant Monsters and Eternal Night

During the event, the entire game was locked in nighttime mode. The Giant Monsters from Croatoa, Eochai and Jack in Irons spawned in most zones (including the City of Villains zones), awarding Halloween-specific badges for their defeat. When one GM was defeated in a zone, another spawned in the same zone soon after.
