PTR 2.4.3: Hallow’s End
I logged into the Public Test Realm today to continue some research on loyalty and found that Blizzard has apparently activated Hallow’s End, the Halloween event, on the PTR. I can’t find any announcement of such testing, but … it’s definitely on. There are pumpkins everywhere and people forming groups for the Headless Horseman.
I’m interested in seeing if anything has changed, but alas — loyalty testing is too fascinating for me to leave my perch in Shattrath and go adventuring just now. *grin*
Update: After a PTR update, Hallow’s End is no longer activated for testing.

There’s speculation about being able to get the horse as a mount.

Yep, looks like a darker, scarier version of Attumen’s steed, that takes less raiding to get:

It’s called “Headless Horseman’s Unruly Mount” for some reason, as seen here:

Does that mean it’s going to have a limited duration? I really, really hope not.
There is also a new sword that drops, Main Hand, has like 15-20 agi and same amount of stamina, increases atp by 40ish, and summons pumpkins to “burn” your foes. lol
My question is how do you get access or get on a public test realm?
Deidare: Check out this FAQ on Setting up the PTR by Hortus on the Test Realm Forum. It’ll get you started. :>
OOOoooo, if that horse is going to come out for real, I might lay off on getting SW rep! But, it might not, so Runecloth grinding for me.
This is not about Hallow’s End, but I have been hearing that there is a construction crew in SW working on the tunnel for the new harbor that will be in WothLK on the PTR. True?
The construction crew is true and real and there in the test realm.
Hopefully the mount wil stay around longer than the brooms. Blizzard should make it like the reindeer mount where you need snowballs.
In order to summon your Unruly mount you need to have a pumpkin in your inventory. Would be a cool gimmick
Thank you mania for the site!
Well mania i went to the FAQ but it didnt have the information i needed to get on or start to get on a public test realm if it was there then i missed it could you help agin?
