spooky spider: 1 (addon deed for the dread spider)
colored creature of darkness:5  (1 darkness generator + 4 different lanterns (different color, both the lantern itself and its light))

moonstone dragon turtle: 4 (both types of costume deeds + 1 normal deco and its redyable version... plus normal dragon turtle loot)

Christoph have won the bonus competition!

It's Finally Here!

You might have stumbled here, from wondering on how to access the area!
Well read on, and dont worry! (This is just a method, like semi forcing someone to read the user agreement)

Will start with a quick summary, and those that are interested, can continue to read on!


Summary
-Monsters-
-There will be 8 unique monsters, plus a boss. That all drop decorations/costumes/addons.
(each monster got a title, saying what it can drop)

-There will be 4 unique monsters, that DOES NOT DROP LOOT, but gives point to a certain "faction"
(Which is a competition, which will be explained in the full detail below, but you should read on it!)

-There are also hallowed monsters, and a few flaming skulls, in the dungeons largest room.

-There will also be evil clowns, they also DO NOT DROP LOOT, they are just evil
(but since humans are kinda stupid, there will be another competition for them, more info in the detailed explanation)


-Rules - Important!!-
The area will be the same rules as Eodon, but there will be a few exceptions.
PvP will be allowed, but dont overdo it! Had the same rules for the last 2 halloweens, and have worked great!
But yea, if in a argument, feel free to pvp. But do not overkill, or grief.
This is supposed to be a fun for all, so dont overcome a spawn with killing the opponent, or try steal something (especially from noobs)
But there will also be no looting of other players corpses. (you cant), so even if you die, you might not loose that deco you just found!


-Good to know & how to access!
Ok, just a few good stuff to know, then i will tell you how to access the dungeon!
Since there are 2 different factions inside, and evil creatures like clowns, a weapon with NO hit area effect can be of great use!
And to access the dungeon, go to umbra, either via public gate, or  the event gate in luna, and just say "ghouls & goblins" without capital letters (unsure if it matters) and without " ' " (example should be "ghouls & goblins", and not "Ghoul's & Goblin's" Do not gives those words away, if they ask, tell em to read the thread!



Full detals!

*******Main Competition*********

Ok, lets start with the competition!
You will be either factioning with the goblins, or the ghouls.
You are free to select "which team" you are in/hunting.

And ofcourse, after you kill one or two, you will understand how they work, and you can ALL select the same team, or change team after a while, its totally upto you!
These points can't be purchased, nor traded.

The top 5 collectors OF THE WINNING TEAM will get the Great Pumpkin addon, a preview of both the great pumpkin (and the dread spider addon, which a mob can rarely drop) can be previewed in the safe area/start zone of the dungeon.

The winning team, means that the side which has the most points, when the event ends. Lets say half of the players kills goblins, and kill so they got a total of 2000 points, and other half of players kill ghouls, so they got a total of 2300 points. The Goblin team, aka the "team" that killed ghouls during this event, will be the winning "team".  Wish to say that the loosing team gets jack, but everyone with atleast 20 points, will get a small statue (depending on team).
The grand winner, will get another great pumpkin, hued of his or hers choise. (winning team will also get a small statue)
The small statue will have the points and rank detailed in its name, for the top 5 players in each team.


*********Bonus competition********
if i were to qoute my favorite auther, terry pratchett here.
"Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry."

The evil clowns, after being told countless times on discord, that they drop nothing, and they are just pure evil.. Well they are.. But regardless, a small bonus competition is in its place, is it not?

Only one winner, send me a pm on the forums, telling me whatever i meant with the "12 shades of evil".
Dont pm/page/ask me what i could mean with it, or where the clowns are (who knows, i might have warded em from the dungeon, so you might not even see em!)
But yea, tell me the 12 shades of evil, in moderate detail, in a pm on the forums. First one that does it, wins!
(Since your not allowed to ask, i will make it so, if you make a false guess, another pm wont be accepted until a timeperiod of 23h have passed)
The reward is a small clown mask deco, with your name on it.


***The monsters - more detail!***

*Deco/Costume/Addon monsters*
The 8 monsters plus the boss, mentioned in the summary above, drops deco with a specific ratio.
Apart from the dread spider addon, darkness generator/colored darkness light sources and the costume mob, the mobs have a chance of dropping an even rarer version of the deco, which is one of my new "redyable items". These decorative items can be recolored by players, using a dyetub for cloths.
(Veteran reward tubs, normal dye tubs and metallic cloth dyetub for just mentioning some)
They can be identified with a orange red text below its name, saying that they are redyable with a dyetub!
(But they are very rare!)

The boss, have a much larger chance of dropping costume deeds (which comes in 2 varietys, normal and rare)
And a statue of the boss itself, also with the chance of being a redyable deco item!

The "lightsource" monster drops a darkness generator, but also with a lower chance, dropping a colored darkness lantern.

The "addon" monster has a very low chance of dropping the really cool dread spider statue, which can be seen in the entrance of the dungeon.

the "Costume" monster, got a low chance of dropping a deed for a random costume, but also a lower chance of dropping a random rare costume deed.


*Point mobs*
Each faction got 2 different mobs, works the exact same way, but one (the rarer) is worth 10 points.
Killing a normal 1 point goblin, rewards you with 1 point in the ghoul team, and minus 1 in the ghoul team.

Since it gives a negative in the opposing faction, its important to not go all out with hit area effect weapons, making aggro of all sort of monsters (I made the monsters passive, until attacked)

**Hallowed monsters**
Just like the ones you find in the graveyard.

*The others*
Try stay away from em!



*****Rules******
No need to give a more detailed rules, explained it well above.
If you are getting griefed, feel free to take a screen of it. There will ofcourse be drama and fights, so to some level, you need to live with it!
But dont overdo it!

**End**

But yea, hope you enjoy it!
And no need to use the gate in Umbra, just mark a spot in umbra, and say "ghouls & goblins" and you will be teleported to the event area. (or if you fancy, just use the gate in luna, and say the words after)
This is just a way to make sure every player reads this!

Questions and feedback is welcome! Send it in a pm on the forums if you want to be anon.
Dont ask questions regarding the evil clowns.

-Added a few event mobs
-Added loads of new costumes, both common and rare.
-Added new type of pumpkin, green pumpkin! (Will be a rarer drop)
-Also added more pumpkin carving types, aswell as tripled the amount of hallowed dye tubs avaiable!
-Added a lil message, everytime you say "i wish to release this" or "i wish to unsecure this" to remind you, to use detect hidden. (Will remove the anti-hide deal in luna)
-Change to churchills warmace, you were able to use 3 special abilities with it before, now its the correct 2.
-Added a new sort of.. or type of deco.. Recolorable deco! You can use any dyetub that dyes clothing, to color the item! (No charges needed, but it will be rare!)
-plus a few other halloween addons



Also the Hallowed (automatic) halloween event is now live, find it in your local feluccian graveyard!

It is half way threw October. Kinda late to start any Halloween event.  Kinda like Christmas it was pretty lame. Sorry guys but it was.

Just like Xmas decoration can be purchased in shops in early september, some things shouldnt come that far in advance.. You go trick and treating the 31st, then have a few days you eat the candy there after =P

Bring back the begging game!!!   I may be the only one left on the shard that played that one.

Begging game?

bumped with new info

the graveyard will ofc be running aswell

Oh I got plans for it, but Yea could perhaps add a few more hues to those aswell.. But the rest is a big secret

will disable the levers until king kong tells me if its those or not (could cause the crash, even if they are deactivated? who knows)

Wont do much now anyway, since the drain wont be that big anyway

bumped for new info at main thread

Usually have no issues with UOS.exe saying i got not enough memory for some strange reason, it pops up sometimes, then its fine for ages.. Today it was impossible to get my client running.. Googled a bit, and googled a bit more.. et.c. et.c..

Anyway

https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/large-address-aware.112556/

For those that have a problem, use that!
(Worked for me atleast)

(its the "laa_2_0_4.zip" zip file)

Unzip it, open it up, and then find your uos.exe and client.exe and if you use razor aswell, target that aswell.

The basic mode works fine, so no need to go advanced. If you see on that page, the basic mode opens up a window with 1. select an Executible (Where you need to find  your client.exe and uos.exe, fastest way is to right client your shortcut of uosteam.exe and "open file location" or something like that, for client.exe, well try find your uodirectory, shouldnt be that hard, and find the client.exe!

Press the box for large adress aware flag
then commit! done!



did a test, seems to work well!

Ok, even will be postponed a bit.. kon decided t o do a pvp event this weekend, so i let him do it, since im dead tired.. so the event will possibly be in 3 weeks.. 3 weeks you ask?

Well going to turkey in vacation next thursday, for a week.. since i wont be home thursday the week after, unsure when i get home there.. but yea, most likely 3 weeks..


But for the event, now you got more time to prepare!

Thinking of keeping the levers, which will emit "auras" near and ontop of the temple. Think i figured out a way to drain hits/stam/mana depending on how much points the players have.. So it will be sort of an equalizing drain, the best will have the toughest time.

forgot to update:
Big gratz to Team Chicken, but also avenging angel, johana and winter for being runner ups!
Hopefully next one will be a bit better!




**Another update**
Hard coded some bits of the event, should run ALOT smoother now.
The levers will be active for roughly 15-20 seconds, before turning off again, and will take 0-5 seconds before it "kicks" in.. Just to reduce lag furthur.

Have fun!



**Update!**
Ok, managed to get all stuff running, might need some finishing touch tomorrow (gotta hit the bed)
Basicly, i made it start at 6pm EST give or take, if my timer works, there will be hourly warnings, and then after, there will be warnings every 15min, and 5min in advance (before points being taken), so 45,30,15,5 minute warning.

The hill: as shown in the picture, the aztec looking temple
lever 1: the fountain area near the hill
lever 2: the large area to the east of the "hill"
lever 3: South, South, South West of lever 2. (like 3-4 screens south, 1,5 screens west of lever 2)


Be in the main room at the top, inside the doorways when the timer reaches 0, bam, you get a point..
Wonder how much points after a long night fighting? Find the event npc, north of the luna bank gate! Stand near him and he will tell you how much points you got!

The levers will drain hits/stam/mana depending on lever, and how much points the player got, and the drain will affect everyone around the hill aswell, not only those in the little room ontop. (Do notice,  its no use to use them in the beginning, the drain in the beginning is quite weak, and if u got 0 points,  there will be no drain)

I will be checking teams and such, my reward idea is still legit i think, 6-10 decos total for the winners, plus a possible other goodie (decos can be choosen by the leader, and distributed among the team fairly)
(and less for the others)

Do not want to see Team A and Team B fighting togheter, and helping each other out, then at the end, they say they are 2 teams. So Team B can get second price... I will (and hopeuflly with help of king kong, get to know whos with who, so dont try!)

Feel free to spare me some time, and send me a pm on forums, or on discord, regarding who your teaming up with!
*************



Ok, something new for you all.
Have been testing out some stuff, and managed to get it going pretty well.

Summary of event:
(Event will be taking place in a small area of Eoden, where i held my last years halloween event, for those that was there)

Every 30 or 60 minutes, a warning broadcast will be .. well.. broadcasted..  Saying you got X minutes left, until points are given.
During that time, a team, or a guild, or a solo player(s) will need to stand ontop of temple, in the 9x9 room ontop of that temple. (And you need to be alive to get the points). When the timer reaches zero, everyone ontop will recieve a point.


Possible side tasks: 1-4 Levers will be located somewhat nearby, guarded by a monster or monsters.  Pulling the 2-way lever will apply negative effects ontop or ontop+near the temple. Could be constantly poisoned every 3-10 seconds, or mana/stamina draining effects. This could open up some more tactics, both for attackers and defenders.

Main area around the temple, will have a zone that makes everyone grey, and killing some of the more powerful donation pets (including doni pets that resses)
And around the lever areas, a zone that makes everyone grey, and possible even the pet deal there aswell.


Unsure how i will give out the reward, due to it being a guild or team or possible solo pvp event, depending on players choise. (Since you wont get a point if your guarding a lever).
Possible reward outcome is that first place got 10 Deco pieces, and will be evenly distrubited to the winning team, where the player having the most points wins, so not an accumulated win.
(To make it fair that, a team having a leader, taking the points, while the others are securing the leaders position AND controlling the lever areas.)

Feel free to give feedback for the whole event as per, and if the lever things are something that i should include, and how the reward could possibly be best given out.

a pic will be included, for those that want to scout the area in advance.



The event will run for the whole weekend, if i manage to get it going by then..  or for 2-3 days, depending on when i start it
