The Jack O' lantern stuff sounds fun. I wonder if these are lanterns that will respawn or a limited number only? Here's hoping I get my hands on a nightmare disguise as I love those little guys =)

Woot for interactive and rewarding Halloween content! Any chance of replacing the richworld pedestrians with zombies? SMILEY

I think the seventh mask is the Assassin, Merv, Persephone, Twin, or "Feed My Frankenstein" or zombie

Nice update Walrus!



It was cool to see that you were flood...since I was the first on Vector to see you and greet you SMILEY



Im looking forward to the decorations and the new Slums.  I would
like to remind you of the Zen Master trade in NPC though, because I
have millions of lost info to get back SMILEY



Anyways, Im very glad to see that you've taken a more active role and
posted everything up there...and plan on doing it more often.  I
cant wait for the next update!

Yeah I'd like to know this too. cuz if its only spwans once then  it would seem only one person will be getting the 7th mask.


And I'd like to know if we can use this mask all the time or are they like a one time thing.

It’s time for The
Matrix Online
Halloween Masquerade 2005! This Halloween weekend there
will be a little celebration going on in the Mega City and some of your favorite Exiles
are coming out to play.



The Trick: Beginning with the patch currently scheduled for Tuesday, October 25, you’ll
find Jack-O-Lanterns placed around the city. You can activate them to launch
a wave of level-appropriate Exiles
to do battle with: Blood-Drinkers, Lupines, Nightmares, and Succubi.



The Treat: These
special NPCs will be dropping a treat for those who defeat them—a box that
only the people who had the waves spawn on them can open. Inside you’ll find
one of a series of Halloween masks that will allow you to change your RSI to
that of a Blood-Drinker (Male or Female), Lupine (Male or Female), Nightmare,
or Succubus. There is also a rare seventh mask that these Exiles will occasionally drop.



We’ll also be dressing up the hardlines and clubs Halloween-style
during the event. Then, for Halloween itself, will give you 24 hours of pure
nighttime to celebrate the Masquerade.



I know I might be getting ahead of things, but even
though some people won't see this as game content, I like the idea, and
hope we'll get something like it for christmas, or any other
holiday.  another good thing would be to see the city evolve (snow
in the winter, leaves falling off trees during fall, less rain during
summer...).



after all, if Megacity is a north american town at the turn of the
twentieth century, we'd need those, along with halloween and christmas
decorations in the store and in the appartements...I know, lot of work
for maybe not so much improvement, but I think it might help with the
immersion.  I'm not asking you devs to drop everything else for
this, just some sort of side project that could be popping up one day.

Yes! This is the kind of information I was hoping for in the Dev journal, and now we're gonna get this every week?! Thanks Sera...ahem...Walrus. It was awesome to see some of the names of the people working to make the Matrix Online what it is. LESIG? 
 

 

ive been praying for new disguises for months.

Interesting to read who was involved in perform each of the 'LIVE' characters in the event. So Walrus you weren't a one-man-band! I wonder how different the breakdown is compare to the staff that handled Live Event in WBIE day. Dare to compare!

Well even tho Halloween isn't really celebrated here in Australia (we're not a full US clone yet) the 'event' seem quit interesting.

I truely hope it's been really thought about and fully tested on any test server your QA team have. With plenty of Jack-O-Lanterns spawned around Mega City, I meant alot, more the merrier so we aren't all camping limited spots and ruining everyone else fun. Also hope unlike Pandora's Box enemies aren't able to be Ninja Looted and are like Team/Mission specific or even normal kill loot specific.

Rare 7th Mask ... interesting ... Assassin? But oh I want a Nightmare or Succubus mask.

Will the mask's be available for use forever or just during the Halloween 'event'?
