It seems across the WoW community there has been a mixed reaction to the event, but definitely a lot of disappointment so I’m glad I’m not alone. Hopefully they’ll tweak it for next year.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences!

It was a huge fail. I had to read a guide and even that didn’t tell me to go to my home graveyard. I did everything in Org instead of SilverMoon. By the time I found out or figured it out I had destroyed all my remaining bread etc and didn’t actually care about a pet that couldn’t be learnt.

Fail holiday. Love your idea about the grave though.

Lorey.

I was also kinda disappointed by the whole event. It was kind of a non-event, if you ask me. Just another excuse to get people out of Dalaran. Hell, an excuse to have at least some people visit the beauty and splendor of Silvermoon. I literally finished it on my bank alt in like, 20 minutes. Walking sucks, by the way. ^_^

After doing it on two characters, I gave up. It just wasn’t that exciting… and to be honest, I think I might be a little burnt out on holidays anyway.

I didn’t even know there was an event until I saw people in the costume.
I was told to head for a graveyard, so I did that, finding one out in the wilds (and there was nothing there (wrong graveyard).

Hohum. So I went to the nearest city, and finally saw the vendor and the dancer. So I bought the vendor stuff, and I did the little dance.
I put on the mask – nothing. Ok, it’s just a mask, but I had quite a few of those already during Halooween and I had thrown all those away. So, whee I got a mask, big deal.

I learnt the recipe for the bread, and bought the ingredients from a vendor inside the city, then tried to make them, only to be told I needed the ghost fire. Meh.
Ok, so back to the fire, and I made the bread.
Then I ate one of the 5 I had made – nothing happened. /shrug.

Right, time to use the bunch of flowers – ah, dead people; progress!
No quests though. Also, I realised as a Warlock I didn’t even need the flowers to see the dead people; simply casting Detect Invisibility brought them out into the open.
Still no quest giver to be seen (apparently I was at the ‘wrong right graveyard’, as opposed to the ‘wrong graveyard’ I had been at the beginning, though I didn’t know that at the time).

I then asked in guild chat if anyone knew how to get the pet, and no-one did. At about that time my interest in the whole thing had reached rock-bottom, and I gave up.
Was it a fun event? No.
Will I do it next year, now that I know how to get the pet? No.
