Great news Walrus. Glad to see you folks are taking the holiday stuff into consideration early. Hopefully Christmas will rock too.

Sounds good Walrus!

Looking forward to the Hotfix (I've been carrying all the Merv tickets round for ages now! SMILEY

) aswell as the plans for Hallowe'en! It was good fun last year, adn let's hope it goes as well this year!

**ZippyTheSquirrel**

Wahooo! Halloweeeeeeen!

Maybe this year they'll turn the skies red instead of FAR TOO DARK TO SEE ANYTHING.

*nudge nudge wink wink BRIBE BRIBE*

**Phluff**

YES! "The Phluffabus" will be ready for Halloween again this year!!! SMILEY SMILEY SMILEY

THANK YOU!

(oh, keep it dark like last year) SMILEY

Nice update Walrus.

It's good to see you understand our greivances on the ad competition situation. I still think, however, it's a tad too little, a tad too late, and it's an issue i'm extremely aggrivated by the whole situation. The prospect of more, less xenophobic competitions in the future is a prospect I look forward to, but i'm still annoyed that a multi national corporation can't pull their finger out and mail to different parts of the world...

I liked the Perpetual Darkness, that was great. As for the other guy implying that he didn't like it, maybe have a bloody, crimson sunset, that would be great. Oh, wait, that kind of defeats the green tint in The Matrix....hmmmm.

Good to know that you understand about the annoyance of quite a few players. I am also pleased to know the team will be cleaning up those nasty little bugs next week.

Good deal.

For those who want a dark night:

Turn on the green filter in the in-game options then adjust it with the following lines in Useropts.cfg:

#Changing green filter
ScreenFilters_GreenShift_Color_1_R = 0
ScreenFilters_GreenShift_Color_1_G = 0
ScreenFilters_GreenShift_Color_1_B = 0
ScreenFilters_GreenShift_Color_0_R = 0
ScreenFilters_GreenShift_Color_0_G = 0
ScreenFilters_GreenShift_Color_0_B = 1

The filter will no longer be green - won't really do anything in daytime, but will put a blue tint on nights which results in them being far far darker than the default non-green filter nights. And yes, it's a little too dark with that setting - perfect.

**DarkRevenantW**

Yeah, but then it wouldn't really be all that much special during Halloween now would it?

Chuui

Dude, people don't just want dark skies for Halloween =D Besides, if Rarebit's hinting is anything to go by... The sky is most likely going to red this year...

**Aquilae**

Ohhh. Red skies for the days and blackness for the nights.

Anyway for the Billoard conetest, I'd would have thought that having your billboards in game would be good prize enough. SMILEY

**Shinryu**

Great to hear.... even if I didn't keep all of my masks from last year (just my faves). I also hope that the Halloween "event" is set to last a couple weeks this year... it's such a pleasant change overall that it was such a shame when it ended last year. SMILEY

Chuui

Yeah or at least run it for seven days. I can't wait to put my Nightmare mask back on. I miss those guys. Why can't level 50s have Nightmares in their missions? =(

I quite frankly don't care what people want, we are jacking into The Matrix, The Matrix envisioned and created by the Wachoskis. We are supposed to join, participate and make Matrix history, not something else that defies the fundamentals of the true Matrix. I want more Matrix! RAWR!
