<title>Halloween Update - October 23, 2008</title>
<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;2008 Halloween Masquerade: Oct. 23 through Nov. 6&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt; It&amp;#39;s time for &lt;em&gt;The Matrix Online&lt;/em&gt; 2008 Halloween Masquerade! Find the jack-o-lanterns around the Mega City and activate them to spawn Exiles. Defeating a wave of Exiles leaves you with a special treat: A box only you can open that contains one of seven possible Halloween masks.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Hardline and club decorations are up and the Halloween darkness and full moon have returned!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Zombies have infested the following neighborhoods and will attack redpills wandering through them:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;ul type=&quot;disc&quot;&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;Slums: Mannsdale Housing Projects and Camon Heights &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;Barrens: Manssen Park and Gracy Heights &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;International: Furihata and Ikebukuro &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;Downtown: Creston Heights and Edgewater &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Players bitten by zombies will be infected by the zombie virus and turned into the living dead themselves. Player-zombies have access to the special bite attack, which can be used against other players in PvP combat.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Zombies are known to be vulnerable to Holy Water, which can also be used against player-zombies to cleanse them of the zombie virus. Player-zombies can also use Antibiotic pills to cleanse the virus themselves.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Changes and Improvements &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;ul type=&quot;disc&quot;&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;Halloween Masquerade event runs from Oct. 23 through Nov. 6. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;Jack-o-Lantern objects found around the city can be activated to spawn Exile NPCs. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;Ultra-dark skies with a Halloween full moon have been turned on. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;Hardline and club decorations have been turned on. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;All Halloween masks will work during this period. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;Level-appropriate zombies will spawn on players in certain neighborhoods. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;Players can be turned into zombies by being bitten by an NPC or player zombie. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;Players infected by the zombie virus can use the Zombie Bite Ability (under Awakened in the Actions panel). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;Antibiotics can be used by player characters to clear the zombie virus from their RSIs. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;Holy Water causes extra damage to NPC zombies and clears the zombie virus from player characters. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;Seven new masks have been added this year. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;Bug Fixes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;ul type=&quot;disc&quot;&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;Added a 30-minute &quot;safe time&quot; to the level 100 Agent spawns on Zionites outside of Richland. This means that within a single neighborhood, if a level 100 Agent spawns on you, there won&amp;#39;t be a chance of another spawning on you for at least a half-hour.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
