Id really rather not compete. Sorry, some are different than others...so why not both?

Where did I being up your personal life? :unsure:
And it was quite obvious that you were referring to me

I know what discussion is, that's what I'm doing. I was merely responding to this:

implying that this way is the only way :/

Everyone plays differently. Thallen likes competing for candy. I don't. Not just one way is the correct way to play. You don't have to like competing in order to play an online game.

Hopefully that clears things up.

Ok, I haven't played during the last couple Graaloweens so I'm unfamiliar with this trick or treat candy thing. But I will say this, there are 3500 people on the server during peak hours. Notice how hide and seek is less fun than ever, lately? Because you have absolutely no chance of winning unless you're standing very close to where the admin is hiding. It wasn't quite as bad when there were only 1000 players during peak hours. The same goes for any event that involves things spawning on the map server-side. The Graal Classic population has increased significantly over the past couple of years, but the map has not, and the events that involve things spawning on the map have not scaled with the playerbase. This has caused events that involve finding things on the map (whether it be hide and seek, buried treasure, or an event involving random spawns) much less enjoyable than they used to be.

"Graaloween" sucked last time, and will continue to get worse.

In all seriousness though, all you have done since you have joined these forums is complain. I actually think that the majority of things you post on here are put downs, negative remarks and things that are highly irrelevant.

I like being competitive but when there are so many people crowding the server and most importantly the ghosts, it gets out of hand to the point where I have to log off and collect candies at night. The only thing I could suggest is to increase the spawn rate, but then again that would just add more lag in addition to 3k+ players. Dunno what else to suggest.

graal halloween focuses primarily on the collecting, i think it should feel more like halloween with more decorations and a darker world for the night, not sure how laggy this would be though. maybe dress up all the npcs and baddies in costumes or something? make the burger refuge more like a haunted house? or make an actual haunted house?

You know what I'd really like to see? Trickery. To add on to my previous ideas (of various "trick" effects that could be applied upon saying "trick or treat" to a specific NPC), I would like to see Halloween trickery in sorts of forms throughout the days leading up to Halloween.

I'm talking about things like baddies in Graal City, a temporary new loot item that's some kind of hand that pulls you underwater and warps you to some kind of underground pool of water, having bugs occasionally "break free" from your net and turn into some kind of zombies that attack you. "Fake" gralats that are actually baddies that will attack you upon being uncovered, evil versions of known NPCs taking the place of the real NPCs, that infamous "big hand" enemy from Zelda occasionally coming down to pick you up in the underground railroad area and warping you to the nearest exit. How about shield codes being totally randomized one day? Where you put in a shield code and end up with a completely random one. The same can be done with swords. And maybe your head/hat/body randomly change every 30 minutes or so? (And you'd have no control over any of it). Everyone would look crazy and have no idea what's going on.

These are the types of things I would LOVE to see. Just screwing with the players in honour of the occasion. I want the devs and the admins and everyone to just unleash their fury. Just one week of total chaos. Man, that would be fun.

IK WHAT TO Do! (Add a thing you've already done and pretend its a massive update you've worked ages on) ^But seriously how about that just add something already done and work on the stuff that for YEARS you haven't worked on:

Add another trivia for another mount :0 (like the witch)

How about a flying vacuum (reference to the movie Hocus Pocus) to go with Sicx's idea of a trivia mount?

If were talking mounts, I've always wanted to ride an transparent ghost horse. Theres also the option of a big black cat with a witch hat or a pumpkin man to ride.
The pumpkin man would be pretty unique though to be honest, that is if you make it so the mount is holding you with the pumpkin man's vines as a way to ride it.

Althought I think that idea would be smooth, people would get candy in a boring way. Both would be neat but they'd have to implement a way for them to spawn fairly like a slower spawn rate for the lazy players and a higher for the ones fighting for the sugar.

That reminds me of the old quest in deadwood with the ghosts, and how you got hats at the end. How about something like that in the woods for halloween, and I mean make a new forest entirely for that.

Shoutout to the peaceful skeleton community.
We need these this Graaloween.

#skeletown This has to happen.

I was walking around in my VIP bee costume and a lot of people were asking me where I got it from. I told one guy it was a VIP item and he replied with "must be ancient because all the new VIP items look like crap" which leads me to the point. Someone mention having costumes for sale and ones like the bee would be a good item for the new players or making some scary themed ones like a zombie.

On the subject of mounts, I think a "headless horseman" mount would be so cool. Basically it would be an evil looking horse, and your character would be headless, and would be holding his/her head under their arm. And an "evil flaming pumpkin" head (or hat, perhaps) would come with it.

disney disagrees with your opinion.http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb2...seman_BEST.jpghe has a light saber and doesn't hold a head. He also kills a lot of people. He's a very good man.
Also,i think thats someone humping his donkey..

Emote icône! With spiders or scare faces anythings like it :)

They had the Boo Ghost emote from years ago. They should honestly add though more draisines, jump ropes, and lanterns they get like no love. But honestly I loved the halloween for the past years i've played I think they should just continue doing what your doing and have some trick or surprise up there sleeves :P

i would really like some good quest and good items ( not like last year the spider web and thing ) and spooky things :3 in Era

We arent allowed to scare 8 year old kids on classic.

I am a little late to the party but I wanna see more custom bombs! Idk why I never would buy the custom bombs when they came out but now i want some!

No one loves them.. ~> why they arent made.

OMG does 8 years old cen play voilence games -___- I wish they're parents is not that bad omg

just checking, does anyone want hats?
can we submit hats so that the team has less work to do?
and if so, where?

save them for christmas

Actually Reece some of my hats were rejected last Christmas for being 'too Halloweeny'.

I can't stand hats anymore... Would rather see a head and boddy halloween inspired shop with zombies, mummies, ghosts, vampires and stuff like that to be bought.

Yeah, I made one that's basically halloween candy... with semi transparent wrapper... not very christmas.

Anyway, I made a santa cap too, so we'll see about it then :)

Better admins plz.

some sexy graalian girls hiding in the wood calling your names and giving you candy if you answer a mathematics question correct

if not treat and u get banned for 1 minute
#feel the pain

lul

dont ban me rufus pls

ZOMBIE BADDIES!!!

what is the topic of this thread now?

Halloween 2014.

I think the candy ghosts will spawn inside our houses, since the news said 'get your house ready --you may have some visitors soon'

I second that thought

Visitors? I haven't cleaned the house since 2010 it's smelly and messy.

I'd figure that it'd involve trick or treating.

What was the news update? (Don't have any access to Graal right now).

Remember those elders that were hard to get a treat from? If I'm correct, this "gauge" will fill up in order to get that floating hat by...getting a treat from all of them.

Thats just a myth I believe.

Oh Oh! time to get out mythbusters.

http://imgur.com/xbIqNmb the ELDERS HAVE CHANGED LOOKS! what does it all mean?

How gullible you must be. That news post obviously makes people think "oh, trick or treating, yay!" when in reality, on the 31st your house will be infested with zombies.

Or masked killers.

But then they knew someone who saw right through the post must've seen a different version of it (you). And then instead of zombies clowns that teleport with a knife kill you in your home and you wake up at a quest. And the only way the clowns can leave is when you complete the quest.

100% Discount Uploads Please :P

Hopefully a sweet mount to purchase from club crypt if it ever opens.

I think Graaloween-themed states would be a cool idea. (States are your health hearts)
