Is GK out of it's gourd?! Eh. Probably.

I dunno about everyone else, but I think that this year's Graaloween on GK rocked your face off about ten times more compared to last year's. We finally got to see the addition of flying enemies, (bats) which I hope becomes a normal thing, as well as something we couldn't necessarily see at all - evilhands. There was also loads of candy, but surprisingly enough, not the conventional type. The candy this year, if anyone missed it, was in the shape of items and sometimes even weapons.

The only complaint I heard was over re-used graphics and that the graphics shouldn't have been the same for reasons dealing with scamming. (Which did occur here and there during the night.) However, I think it was a very neat and funny idea to do this. Gives a whole new meaning to "Trick or Treat."

Anyhow, during the night I periodically took pictures of the events. They've been uploaded for your viewing pleasure.

Should of added an option for people that were not that or unable to attend. From what I can see in the screenshots, it looks like last year, but I don't see anyone around... Did you take screenshots of people or just pumkins?

The are a few new monsters, the evil hand and bats. Also the graphics for the pumpkin lord have been improved, and we have added the fake candy items.

It seems a lot of people like the halloweentime we had on GK and also the events.

I am glad we got help from Björn, Galdor, Zero Hour. Lance and last but not least Stefan with these nice monsters and candys.

First I was worry about these candys and the possibility of scamming, but if all of you will act with caution I dont think it will be a problem.

The thing that made me the madest was that nothing gave exp but the bats, and what was that, like 10 exp every bat killed, the evil hands were just a fu** up because they dropped nothing buy candy, and why the hell idndt they have more pumpkin lords. I asked bjorn were the lords are and he said nothing but "I did my part PM sam" So i had no choice but to PM sam, i ask him about the pumpkin lords and he told me "Pumpkin Lords are only for event this all we can do for now"

The only problem i had with this years halloween (even though i missed all the events) it seems everyone has about 5 halloween shields, last year they were semi rare, like it actually meant something to walk away with a shield, although good job to the event + gfx staff nice stuff

Yes, that's true, last year the items were rare, so we made some more events to give the player a better chance to get one. I am sure next halloween we have some new item for halloween.

Give away the hats and candy but surely there needs to be a item that only 10% of the people manage to get through more difficult tasks then killing a pumpkin lord which are being spawned by the 100, working towards something good that not everyone has is what makes events fun for me.

Try to also put into consideration that a lot of the pumpkin shields floating around this year also came from last year and so on.

I think that some ppl would like it, but events and events items should be available for everyone. I know everybody wants to have rare items, but that makes more trouble and encourages selling item for real money.

Yeah, it's a sad thing that most of the good-looking items are near-impossible to get

Also, I think weapons that nobody uses like Skull Swords should be taken out of roulation and re-released as better, rarer items. And monsters should drop better items too.

A flow of items into the game is enough to stop extreme priced items, if everything is given out wheres the game? if everyone has the same items why do we need a trading house?
