GU39, any hints on content yet?

[Troubor]

<p>Anyway..before I truly post, I wasn't sure where to put this.  My apolgies to the moderators if this is the wrong forum, please of course move to the proper one if this isn't it.</p><p>So...any hints yet as to what might be in GU39?  I'm assuming there will be something, if nothing else for the "Nights of the Dead"/"Halloween" patch.  But, was wondering if anything else was on the horizon..we've seen Domino do some nice things with tradeskills for instance, maybe a halloween themed something?  <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  I don't expect this one to be large, I'm sure everyone is very busy with RoK coming out pretty soon, but am curious.</p><p>And as an aside, no this isn't the thread to discuss if you dislike the current holidays in game, or feel they are too much like IRL ones.  <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  With all due respect, that belongs in another thread..maybe one titled "So, what should Norrath holidays be like" or "Okay, should we have ones based on IRL ones?"  <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

What I would really like to see is the musical instruments....  they put it in a few updates ago and took them back out for more testing.... *cry*  I want my music instruments *cry*   pppppppppppprrrrreeeetttyyyy plllleeeaaaasssseeeee!!!!

<p>Who knows... </p><p>If I had to guess I would say that the Halloween live event is most likely.Since LU40 will most likely be on RoK launch day, I'd think they may add another RoK intro leadup quest.Rumors of Shard of Fear / Shard of Hate are out there as well as 3 more gods returning.'course nobody knows what will be in LU39 and what will be pushed to LU40.  I guess it depends on how much unfinished things in RoK have to be done.</p><p>P.S. Musical instruments were pushed back.  They went in on a whim (right when LotR was released, heh) and were basically vendor bought charm items that would stun/stifle you and play a pre-recorded loop.  Well people weren't happy about just that and wanted them to be player made, and allow for more freedom like LotR, or at least AC2, and kept asking for things.  So they took them out and plan to get them to be much more than they had time to do at this point.  They'll probably put them back in, but I wouldn't count on it until early next year (after RoK and the initial few LU's fixing stuff in there)</p><p>P.S. The AA respec item, I'm pretty sure is going in, but is a RoK quest reward item, so won't be in LU39.</p>

I want to beg and plead for the Frostfell zone theme music to be written by Danny Elfman (or at least in his style) and a stick-figure-ish scarecrow MC for the area, too.  Not sure how they could fit Tim Burton in there, but he really would need to be <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<p>Ok, I have been thinking of how we was supposed to of had some new evil looking furniture for GU39 and now we're not. Has anyone ever thought just maybe it's a <b><u>Trick</u> or Treat? </b>SOE is good for pulling tricks on us. If any remember April's Fools day of when we log in? <img src="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/images/smilies/908627bbe5e9f6a080977db8c365caff.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" /></p><p>It just seems odd the way it was <u>done</u> of Dev making post about the new furniture then not if you ask me, but it can be the real deal of not having the last details done to be ready for GU39 but can only hope that might just be Trick. <img src="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/images/smilies/ed515dbff23a0ee3241dcc0a601c9ed6.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" />     </p>
