Votes for a Halloween shard this year??: [Pictures Added.. ]

Anyone got any favourite memories /ideas for this years Halloween ? Join the discussion on UO.UHall and lets see if the dev'stakeup any of your ideas.


Last years was great hopefully we will see it agin..To bad they can't do it on regular shards..

and



and

I had a great time on the halloween shard. I'd like to see something like that again.

I will say that the main reason I went to go play there is the lag during that time was terrible on Sonoma. I figured I would check it out and stayed for a week. Great Fun!


and

some silly things I'd (attempt to) do if I was a dev:

- allow us to import copies of all our characters to the hallowe'en shard, but have permadeath (any attempt to rez returns a zombie version of the character)
- do a data dump of all the stratics userids and just put our names on all the trolls
- ghosts standing around named after all the dead MMORPGs which were going to destroy UO
- rat invasion of Luna, all named after all the characters of deleted dupers
- turn all the NPCs into Inu clones (dump the complete works of Shakespere into their random vocabulary when spoken to)
- corpses don't decay during the event
- craftable jack-o-lanterns (as decorations? as explosion potions?)
- swap the graphics of mongbats and dragons. (for that matter, randomly swap the graphics of all creatures ... why should player characters be the only ones to go in diguise?)

Heck YES! Bring back Count Draconula! He was such a sexy vamp!

And YES PLEASE to the Shard of Screams!




and

I would rather see something special added to all shards for a short period of time, like the Leprechauns were added that one time, for St. Patrick's day. Something the players have to explore to find, or discover it. *examines Iron Maiden* Whoah! I didn't know there was a real maiden in there! Ugh! *chokes/coughs/splutters* "The stench overwhelms you and you are dead!" That kind of thing.

and

Quote:
How about if they send the monsters to our homes, knocking on the door, saying, "Trick or Treat!"


LOL! That would be so funny!!


and


We need brooms! they can be a new mount! =P


and

ZOMBIES!!! We need Zombies again!!! NEEEEEEED

Re: Votes for a Halloween shard this year??: [Pictures Added.. ]

Yeah I would love to see more special events for the holidays again, maybe like a trick or treat event where you can go to NPC's around all facets and say "Trick or Treat" and a random Treat (be it a piece of candy or a nice little trinket maybe even make like a 1:1mil chance of getting a nice rare item) or they do a trick to you like for 24hrs your char gets squelched, or you hair color changes to something really ugly or strange for a week then changes back. *Shrugs* just an idea.

I agree that we need more ingame holiday events. I remember waking up on a holiday and getting a cool little gift. made the game a little more interesting.

Re: Votes for a Halloween shard this year??: [Pictures Added.. ]

I'd like to see something done on the regular shards. Just something small, silly, and fun. I enjoyed the Halloween Shard, but I prefer to trick-or-treat in my own neighborhood, thanks!

I had a good time. I was a terathan. We kicked the ophidians' butts. I still have screens. And trick or treating was fun too.
