I wasn't playing during the last couple Halloweens so I really don't have much to go on. But, I would love to see Deadwood re-expanded. But with more of a purpose. There was that whole haunted forest area (that led to the house with the basement containing the dark maze for the Skeleton morph quest). There was also that whole graveyard area to the north (that was part of another quest). I don't want this content recycled, but these areas can definitely be used for other purposes. I mean, they were well designed. There was a bunch of stuff in that haunted forest that I would have love to buy (as furniture). I recall stocks with blood on them and all kinds of creepy things. And those pictures with holes you could put your head through (in the graveyard area), why not let us buy those?

I always love the whole "trick or treat" mechanic. I would love to see a greater variety of "tricks". Examples (most of these would last about an hour): shrink (makes your character 50% smaller), grow (makes your character 50% larger), bush head (turns your character's head into a bush), invisible (makes your character invisible, you can only see a shadow), skeleton (turns your character into a skeleton that falls apart every few minutes), giant blob morph (turns your character into a giant blob. This one would only last 1 or 2 minutes), slow motion (reduces your characters speed and all actions by 50%), bug morph (turns your character into a random bug. This one would last maybe 10 minutes), confusion (scrambles your movement keys and gives you a small chance to hurt yourself when you swing your sword).

Halloween should be about fun and craziness. This is the kind of stuff I would love to see.  

If not a trick-or-treat thing, could there be some kind of event where, if you get to the end, you can create-a-hat? Would work similarly to how Christmas presents are randomized, except you can choose the colors/elements of your hat. Would choose a base (bandana, cowboy, knight helmet, etc), choose 1-2 decorations (bow, glasses, goggles, flowers, etc), and maybe something else. Don't know what kind of event could lead up to this; but would be fun.  

Deadwood revamp, trick or treating, lots of nice Onnet and Taylor Richards stuff. Also club crypt needs to open.  

Sorry havent been here in a few days...

it would be cool to see an event which would incorporate trick or treating into player houses. For example, a player could buy a furniture item which would have 10 tricks or treats in it. Upon entering a house, each player could take one trick or treat from the bowl.

This is really a wonderful idea. But the problem would be finding a good way to implement it. People will probably place their candy bowl at the back of their codeshop maze, forcing others to farm; which I guess really isnt terrible.. And there's no incentive for people to buy the furniture item; so maybe make it where you are only allowed to take candy from others' houses if you have your own bowl set up.

Edit: nvm Imprint already addressed that prev pg

(in reply to me) Main reason why I dont want the candy ghost back to many players now.

That's why I said it needs to be less competitive, such as using private spawns similar to looting.

That's what I thought people would say and it's the reason why this thread was most likely made. Doing that many rewards (for the same-**** holiday that Halloween is) isn't very sustainable in the long term. It is especially taxing when Halloween is so close to Christmas which also requires a lot of stock. They need to bring down the expectations a bit and move on.

Halloween is not ****. My favorite holiday. I do agree that expectations could be lowered, but I feel that an event with worth-while prizes is necessary.

I will snap the next persons spine back if they bring that word up again

SNAPBACKS! Without snapbacks well.. Who knows what sort of chaotic trauma I will experience. Nothing would be the same.. "Nothing was the same." ~Drake

I had a thought about this, but instead of the different hats it would be a SnapBack, the SnapBack would have a different color, including the G for graal, the top, and the tongue. And the snap in the back. But it is a good idea! Because I really don't wanna get more pumpkin hats or orange colored hats or even more witch hats. But then again what else is there for Halloween themed hats?  

I hadn't thought of your second solution twilit, that would work nicely. Players could buy an empty bowl and then a bag of x treats seperately. Then, once they dump x treats into their own bowl they will receive an empty treat bag with x slots for candy.

update the submissions guidelines and reform the submissions system before making sales, please, folks.  

Make the players stand in Onnet or deadwood etc. Showing off their costumes and giving them a prize. Also, that abandoned house in Onnet could offer as a haunted house or something for the event.-Great ideas!  

They have to have to 50% off uploads, I'm saving up so that I can get heads I wouldn't buy for 20k and bodies I WOUDLNT buy for 10k!  

I would thoroughly enjoy a voo-doo/ bayou theme this year, Buy hats looking like sac dolls, pins could replace your arrows.

As an event, "Voo-doo Zombies" would spawn in place of Baddies and look like a sac version of the baddy, and destroying it would result in a small flow of candy (2 or 3 pieces) that worked like Pyrate Eye patches did.
You guys can run with what to do with the candy, I just thought ya know, graal usually does the stereotypical Graaloween, why not mix it up!

ARROW THEMES, YES PLEASE!

If they have it for bombs, might as well have it for arrows.  

Yeah! Have bone arrows, arrows with blood and arrows crafted from deadwood trees!  

There better be tons of hats this year too :U Honestly i see the same gfx people doing all the work, you guys should take that 'classic style' away so other gfx ppl can feel comfortable providing their own unique hats.  

Monster beanies that could be sold in The Grotto, The Zone, The Fan or the Resort like Christmas. For example, a ghost beanie would be white with a ghost mouth and face and other details, while a frankenstein one could be green with his face on it, same rules would apply for vampires, werewolves, loch ness monster e.c.t. 50% off uploads too! I made myself a halloween head.
