Alright you grisly ghouls! Our Halloween event is now in full swing with some returning features from last year! Please read below for details on how to participate and have the time of your undead lives! ;D

Zombies vs. Survivors!
Simply go to Choose Your Side under the new Halloween tab and click on the Zombie banner to become a member of a hoard of the living dead, or click on the Survivors banner to join the ranks of surviving members of the human race! In order to play, all you have to do is seek out a member of the opposite team and click their banner to attack them! If your attack is successful, you earn points! However, getting into brawls with survivors and zombies is exhausting, so you'll have to take a 20 minute break between each attack to recuperate.

To keep track of which team is winning, you can check in to the Scoreboard and battle it out for the top team of Alacrity! And those points aren't being earned for nothing! Just high-tail it over to the Points Shop to spend those hard-earned points on some spooky, creepy, crawly, and above all AWESOME Halloween items, some of which are exclusive ONLY to this store!

May the best team win! ;D

Trick or Treating
This is fairly simple! On every staff member's page you'll see an image of a creepy haunted house. If you're brave enough, run up to the door (or, y'know..click the image), and knock! There's no telling what sort of treats you'll get! But don't get greedy! You're only allowed to trick or treat once per account, between the hours of 5pm-10pm Alacrity time, so don't be late!

You will also have a small chance at a special random event, where you just might find yourself growing hair where you never had it before, and howling at the moon! ;D

These events will last through to the end of the month, so make good use of your time and have fun!! If you find any bugs or glitches, please make sure to report to the issue hub and we'll get it resolved ASAP!

I know that a lot of you are encountering bugs with the trick-or-treat function. Please rest assured that we are doing everything we can to work this out!

Trick or Treating should be online at full capacity soon! I promise that we'll make a news update about this as soon as the bugs are worked out!

Please remember that Patience is a virtue :>

Ghoul Evening, Witches and Warlocks!

Hehehe, I just love Halloween! Don't you? We have just a couple quick updates tonight :>

First, you may have noticed that the prices for the Ghost Costum and the Hellhound Mask have been increased in the monthly shop. Some members were kind enough to point out to us the cost of these items in last year's shop, so we increased the cost of each item to 15 Bones or the cash equivalent to be fair to everbody. These are amazing items that are well worth the cost!

Secondly, we thank you all for your hard work on your entries into the spooky pups writing and art contests! There were so many fanastic entries! It may take us a little bit to get through them all, but we're working hard on picking the winners. Winning entries will be announced and prizes awarded soon!
