Halloween Events!
 
Join us on Era on October 30, 2011 for a day of exciting halloween events!

We will be hosting a series of events starting at around 4 PM CST time, the prizes will be special Halloween items and other rare goodies ;)

Some of the plans and events for halloween are:
  • Zombie Hunt
  • Halloween Raffle
  • Halloween Chance
  • Special changes to the Gun Rental shop
  • Halloween Shop

We have much more planned, remember to get here early so you don't miss anything!

For those of you wondering when the raffle will begin, I plan to start it off around 5:30 or 6 PM CST time. The rest of the events will be hosted at random. Don't miss out!

If you have any questions, feel free to post them or send me a forum PM.

Please don't post unneeded/unwanted posts, they will be deleted.

I don't know if this is unwanted, but it's just my opinion.
Warning: This post contains traces of negativity.

October 31st is a Monday, therefore everyone has school/work the following day. Based on these times the majority of players (EST and Euro respectively) will have to be on from 6PM or 11PM till 9PM or 2AM (assuming the raffle and post-raffle stuff takes an hour minimum).

I don't know about you but if was a Euro I'd be extremely pissed about this schedule. And the general age group for Era (12-16) will probably be out scoring free candy (I sure as hell will) at those times because that is dusk till curfew (which is extremely *** on Halloween/mischief night for obvious reasons).

Long story short, I think you should probably make it somewhat earlier/shorter if not change the date entirely.

Hey, this could just be my schedule... I'm sure you all enjoy getting no sleep on a school night and not going out for Halloween so you can get these boss pumpkins or whatever is being given out.

Yaman... I used mad parenthesis didn't I? (Hell yes I did)

Won't be able to attend, i've got work 6-10 PM (eastern time). Not to mention all the people with lives who are going to haunted houses and whatnot.

This should be on saturday or sunday, honesty.

EDIT: "You must spread some Reputation around, before giving it to Supaman771 again."

bloodykiller 10-29-2011 03:56 AM

sunday ftw, i wanna go clubbing mondany night wtf

Dragon551 10-29-2011 04:05 AM

I've considered this but I'm not entirely sure if I'll be able to host them on Sunday. I'm not sure if I myself will be online, and players will still have school/work on Monday so it's the same problem really.

I'd host them on Saturday but I think it's too late now, many won't be aware of the events.

Edit: Added a poll, vote away!

Side note: Mexico has no school all week, ftw.

bloodykiller 10-29-2011 04:07 AM

saturday is fine too..as long as its not monday!! =(

I really just picked any day for that, I can end it later anyways. Don't think it really matters though.

Plus for the people who can't read this forum until tomorrow, they can vote tomorrow ^^

water95 10-29-2011 04:12 AM

Do it tonight! Go go go!

Lol@Mexico.

Well, this is all very true, but perhaps you should've put a note somewhere 2-3 days ago when I asked when you'd host them (even now, you should put it on the announcement board).

Sunday isn't Halloween though... you can sleep in on Sunday morning and stay up that night, you can't do that on a Monday. Plus I think the biggest problem is everyone has plans for Halloween whatever they may be. Saturday could work fine too.

I honestly don't care, as long as it isn't on Halloween itself (going to a party :3)

bloodykiller 10-29-2011 04:23 AM

looks like saturday wins!!! what time is 6:30 CST converted into Era Servertime?

We were still planning out what we were going to do for the Halloween events so I didn't announce it until we had everything ready.

What I might end up doing is hosting some of the events on Saturday and the rest on Sunday.

bloodykiller 10-29-2011 04:28 AM

....doing it all at once would be less time-consuming and easier for every1
and how about auctioning off some of the raffle items? :O

WillaWonka 10-29-2011 04:46 PM

saturday is iight cause i can stay up all day without much the next day to worry about

cheesemanfred 10-29-2011 05:41 PM

Also, if Alf asks you if you want candy, and you're a young child, just say NO.

Dragon551 10-29-2011 06:56 PM

Alright guys, decided to host them on Sunday at 4 PM CST. I didn't want to do them today (Saturday) because I don't think some players would be aware of the events.

thegamep2p 10-29-2011 07:04 PM

ERA: HEY GUYS LETS VOTE ON WHAT WORKS BEST FOR YOU!

ERA: Oh that doesn't work out, TOO BAD WE ARE DOING WHAT WE WANTED ANYWAYS :D!

Thanks for reading, that was real smart of you ^^

I read that. My question was more of why we are holding a popularity poll that holds no weight. It's no surprise though. :)

edit: as an owner you would think you would make some kind of compromise. Like split the activities in half or something. People who can't make it Sunday have their fill and the people who can't make it Saturday have theirs.

I don't see how a poll asking for the day that best works for players is a popularity poll..

sango_ku 10-29-2011 07:22 PM

Any day works for me

Because the one with the most votes, saturday, is not the event day? :asleep:

I already explained why I didn't choose Saturday for the events. I'm still not sure what he means to be honest, his PMs and forum posts are confusing me :<

Nonetheless, the events will be held on Sunday and I'm not changing that again.

Emera 10-29-2011 10:21 PM

Can't wait to see! I will definitely be along to play some events! Although, maybe you should get some staff to host the events for the players on the other side of the globe who play Graal when you guys are asleep, then everybody can join in ^_^

dude2020 10-30-2011 12:17 AM

Forum pulls for this is stupid, I know you can do a poll that's in-game.

Why didn't you just do that?

I could of but some people might go to forums more often than actually logging on.

I don't want to tell you that you are straight up wrong about that, but most newer players don't even know about the graal forums, let alone use them. >_<


Could of put a poll on both, but I suppose that could be abused in some way or another with people "double" voting.

WillaWonka 10-30-2011 04:37 AM

Trials can't use polls

bloodykiller 11-01-2011 07:20 PM

Where is the halloween shop???? It's november already

jkldogg 11-01-2011 07:52 PM
