<br>
'''runs for multiple weeks.'''<br>
You can come and go as you please, and it will still be there when you pop back in for the duration of its run.<br>
<br>
'''has an extremely large selection of shops.'''<br>
Many of these shops have items with properties, abilities, or materials that are limited, HE-exclusive, or otherwise special in some fashion.<br>
<br>
'''is a fun social event''' where PCs from all over come together for a bit, even ones who might not normally ever interact with each other.<br>
Develop new friends, new enemies!  While you don't have to stick around in the fest area, many people do, so come get your RP on!<br>
<br>
'''has scheduled and non-scheduled special live events throughout.'''<br>
These can, and do, occur at all times of the day and night, and have included:<br>
<br>
Special in-shop raffles like the one last year in [[Natural Beauty]] (see https://elanthipedia.play.net/mediawiki/index.php/Natural_Beauty for details)<br>
<br>
Ticket raffles that were new last year ( https://elanthipedia.play.net/mediawiki/index.php/Hollow_Eve_410_Ticket_Raffle )<br>
<br>
Regular free raffles (see https://elanthipedia.play.net/mediawiki/index.php/Hollow_Eve_410_Raffle_Center for examples of prizes)<br>
<br>
Catch games with special prizes ( https://elanthipedia.play.net/mediawiki/index.php/Capture_the_Critter )<br>
<br>
Alteration sessions<br>
<br>
GMNPC-run live games (like those run by [[Vatari]])<br>
<br>
RP events (like the feud between [[Fritha]] and [[Cereia]] last year)<br>
<br>
The auction<br>
<br>
... and others!<br>
<br>
'''has a slew of always-open games''', '''tasks''', '''and other ways to get neat''' (and even very rare!) '''prizes''', including crafting materials!<br>
Some of these in the past have been:<br>
<br>
[[Zasele]]'s tasks ( https://elanthipedia.play.net/mediawiki/index.php/[[Zasele]] )<br>
<br>
Shoving your face into a bunch of snakes to try to grab rare crossbow ammo ( https://elanthipedia.play.net/mediawiki/index.php/Bobbin%27_For_Bolts )<br>
<br>
Bunches of games where you and your friends can compete to see who still lives at the end to get the prize, like:<br>
https://elanthipedia.play.net/mediawiki/index.php/Game_of_Chicken<br>
https://elanthipedia.play.net/mediawiki/index.php/Rissan_Roulette<br>
https://elanthipedia.play.net/mediawiki/index.php/Musical_Chairs_of_Doom<br>
<br>
Games for those who'd rather risk death or dismemberment without having to round up others to play along, like:<br>
https://elanthipedia.play.net/mediawiki/index.php/Blood_and_Gourd<br>
https://elanthipedia.play.net/mediawiki/index.php/Boggle_Blast<br>
https://elanthipedia.play.net/mediawiki/index.php/Darkbox<br>
https://elanthipedia.play.net/mediawiki/index.php/Clockwork_Spinneret<br>
<br>
And even games/activities for those who aren't really into the whole self-injury thing at all, but who might want a chance at something neat, including:<br>
https://elanthipedia.play.net/mediawiki/index.php/Better_Box_o%27_Gems<br>
https://elanthipedia.play.net/mediawiki/index.php/Grave_earth_pile<br>
https://elanthipedia.play.net/mediawiki/index.php/Entrail_Toss_Arena<br>
<br>
'''has a special gift''' available to each character you sign up for it with (ticket tiers give some discounts for people who want to take multiple characters on the same account).<br>
While we do like to keep the gift a surprise until its release during the fest, past HE gifts are viewable here:  https://elanthipedia.play.net/mediawiki/index.php/Hollow_Eve_Festival<br>
<br>
This isn't even an exhaustive list, nor does it include the new surprises for this year.<br>
<br>
In the end, only you can decide if it's worth it to you, but we like to think it has a lot of things that can appeal to a lot of people!
