A buddy of mine and I are excited to start grinding and were wondering if anyone knew the specific date!

all we know

The players on this forum don't work for Three Rings. We don't have any insider knowledge. So, unless an employee chimes in, all we know is when the event has happened in previous years:

Well...

Opal promotion ends on the 20th, so expect Dark Harvest to swing by about then.
Generally, when one event ends, be it a promotion or otherwise, another is put into play

So that you don't have to click Bopp's link, it began on the 22nd last year.-

The most likely release date is next Wednesday at around 3 pm pacific daily time (think San Francisco).

I dunno about that. The Punkin King is a mischievous creature and doesn't like to conform to an expected schedule.....

A Tuesday/Thursday release wouldn't be unprecedented (the first DH festival was on a Tuesday, but that was under different management etc.) but would be rather unusual considering the general Wednesday trend that we've seen for the last several forevers. This is why I say "most likely", because I am indeed not some sort of bard, prophet, or insider... unless you're suggesting a release next week, which would be on the very late side of things and would probably be met with much ado about nothing, especially considering that typical Halloween events are released mid-way through October (15th-19th) as opposed to at the end of October.

I would say the 21st considering that last update day we didn't get anything. I highly doubt that OOO is going to go 2 weeks without releasing anything.... if we don't get the Dark Harvest on the 21st I would bet that a new promo box is released with orange and green Punkin suits......

Now you've got me wondering if we're gonna see Gourdlings with Gobblesnipe mounts instead of Scarabs this year ;D

> I am indeed not some sort of bard

But you went elf, I TOTALLY thought you were rolling a bard! What are you then?
The party needs buffs, go take a new character sheet and reroll. We'll wait.

Drunken Master is a perfectly valid class to play as and you can't stop me!

It's only valid if you're

It's only valid if you're drunk when playing it. Now go buy a bottle of vodka and a curly straw.

Well OOO certainly tricked me

Well OOO certainly tricked me with this one, I thought it was going to release alongside with the new box promo. Oh well, now onto waiting for the event to happen and more changes in the future.

Lol, it could be today.. I know it's mind blowing, not having updates on Wednesdays.. It makes the most sense for them to push for the update asap, rather than waiting a week but that's just my 2 cents.

^But...since when has any update made sense? They buffed brandishes. Ever since that, no update has made any sense.

It can be today, or the next week...

For me, Dark Harvest Festival will be celebrated, and this can be today (because the first DHF was on Thursday) or the next week (on Wednesday as all previous events), for two reasons:

1. Dark Harvest Festival is an ANNUAL EVENT;

2. Pumpkin Carving Contest doesn't have a sense without the Punkin King.

So, I think the event will be celebrated, but I don't know when...
