"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."
Very cool, Walrus! I'm wondering, was this planned before or after a thread was made about adding in decorations for the holidays? Either way, I am glad the Dev team is adding a little life and some extra content with disguises.
I am also really looking forward to the new Richland in November.

SWEET!!! HALLOWEEN!!! My temporary sig may not be useless after all! :smileyvery-happy:
Whew, anyway. I was really hoping for more of a restructuring of the city than this "flow change". As a player that is nearing level 50, I can go almost anywhere in the city without much difficulty as it is. An alteration of the way neighbourhood difficulty works is great for new players, but it does nothing for higher levels. Once the story elements are brought in I guess it might make a difference to all players, but it doesn't sound like that's coming any time soon...
Oh well, I hope these Jack-O-Lanterns aren't too hard to find, because I want a full set of costumes... I wonder if they are going to be transferable between players... and I hope we get to keep them after Halloween is over.
