And the Dead Shall Rise

Last year was Shard of the Dead. This year, it’s Shard of the Dead II AND The Festival of Fright, two evil events for the price of one. Today is the launch of The Festival of Fright! Log in and see the gamewide invasion of the deadly decomposing, spreading their thrills and chills across every shard. Coffins will spring open and their occupants will dance on their own graves, and even dig new ones for the unlucky. Undead death dealers of all kinds will gleefully rampage through all of Britannia, looking for the unsuspecting to play tricks on. Treats might also available if you know who to ask and who to kill before they kill you. And be on the look out for the Grim Reaper himself. This is his one chance to party, and he doesn’t like his revelry disturbed.

The Shard of The Dead will launch on the evil day of October 31st. This will take place only on a Test Center, and will feature experimental insanity that we wouldn’t dare unleash on a regular shard. We’ll be trying a few new tricks this year, so be ready for anything.

Not until Oct 31st... New tricks? Wonder what they have in mind.

They put the trick or treating in normal shards now. I'd like more costume gates. Hmm more of those bosses spawning in town.

I think they should put sum costumes on real shards...

This sounds like more than what I saw earlier. They are saying that there is going to be an undead invasion on prod shards...and the Grim Reaper!

Ooh hehe I missed that, I was looking at the Shard of the Dead part. Okay then, time to go around and look for the Grim Reaper.
