First off, thanks for opening the dialogue!
1.) The pumpkin blob - I thought this was a hoax until yesterday! Well implemented, nice appearance, and somewhat unexpected! Would be good to see this fellow return in some other formats later on. (3/5)
2.) Club Crypt - the best part was, imo, the repeat items. I bought four fairies for lack of anything else at the start. They were QUITE expensive, so I hope they will never ever be seen for sale again (maybe xmas presents would be alright?). I didn't like any of the hats, but that's personal taste. The morph was small, but cute and unique. I liked the redecoration of the crypt - last year it did feel a bit musty. (4/5)
3.) Candy bowls - I really enjoyed the concept of having people come to houses for candy. Too bad we only got one bowl free! I feel that if the same event occurs next year, there will be a whole lot of "Candy for candy" going on (much like xmas presents) due to the nature of the prize handouts. PLEASE fix up the candy bowls so that there is a set refund price instead of this "You can't remove a used candy bowl from your house" thing. I have kept a candy bowl with a single piece left in it that I would like as a souvenir!
(3/5)
4.) Prize bags - Little bit of a snafu here. Handled nicely with a refund which eased the frustration of many players. I saw some interesting items, but was sort of disappointed with the artwork on some of them. In particular, the 'ghost' pet looks a little on the cartoony side, and the interior of the coffin bed does not really match the lid. The spider looks good, though, as does the mount I saw (whatever it is)! (2/5)
5.) Onnet General Store - I liked the artwork on the items here, but the colors were kind of bright for halloween. I enjoyed seeing the ghost make an appearance (missed it last time!) and had a good chuckle about the horse as it was the opposite of the ghostly skeleton horse from ages past. I got excited when I saw the vip only room, thinking that it would contain a horde of special items, but was kind of disappointed that it had only a repeat morph (even though its cute). (2/5)
Overall - 14/25.
It was good to see some change in what we were expecting.
It was nice to have a long, drawn out anticipation of the final event.
It was really good to see so much activity, some centered around houses!
It was nice to have some variety in items.
The artwork next year could use some work.
The candy bowl system could be touched up.
The NPCS that were dressed to impress were kind of a let down.
The collection/giving system could include more incentive to give out candy next time around.
