Today has seen one of the greatest jokes ever played in Lineage. Comparable, if not greater than the great April Fools Day event of '01? Absolutely!
Two weeks ago, Fracas announced phase I of the Halloween Event on the Testing server. The response was underwhelming at best. The insults and accusations began piling up and, soon enough, he had enough. To get back at us for ruining his event, he devised phase II which he never intended to publish. When asked about it, Fracas commented "That'll teach those ingrates! My event would have been beautiful and they crushed it."
So I guess that will teach us to criticize his events from now on. For those of you still at work and unable to log in yet, here is a screenshot of what we're being greeted with:

Better luck next Halloween I guess!
Trick or Treat!

There's a server publish on the site that says we have a 'halloween event' and the items info...
It says it started today, but dont say when it ends.
So now youre saying there is "no event?"
???
NO OFFENSE:
Guys make up youre minds plz,
(I despise wasting my time posting to all my websites and forums that there is an event,
then have to retract and go back into all of them and errase it all.) eerf.

p.s. On the other hand if there isnt an event, then maybe we should just use this time to enjoy our r/l families' on this holiday instead. ^^

I felt a little bad posting this to the front page, but without that it wouldn't have had the desired official feel. Sorry for incurring your despisal!
The Halloween event was
The Halloween event was originally in 2 parts. A "trick" half and a "treat" half. The "trick" part was a weekend of chaos which wasn't well received. As a result it was scrapped before it got to live. The "treat" part however went live today and it will run until next Wednesday, November 7th. While not very interactive or intensive, it has a significant reward.
1. Log in
2. Find a Pumpkin Treater, obtain your pumpkin.
3. Turn around and talk to the Pumpkin Trader.
4. You're done.
This thread was a well done prank to make people think the event was actually two tricks. Props to Morticae for the excellent photoshop work on the letter. :)
