Okay....Due to a catastrophic screw up on my part, I accidentally reset the Wateslands in its entirety. No buildings, no Objectives, no area gained, nothing. Just HQs.

As such, for the time being until we can fix this, the Wastelands have been taken offline. Hopefully Zorg or one of the Devs can restore the WL to where it was or at the very least put the objectives and everything back where they were.

Another year, another Halloween.

As most of you are aware, I'm sure, as per Bongo's last blog, his spooky NPCs have returned. See his blog for more details.

On the flip side to this, Halloween outfits should be released either tomorrow or in the near future. Worry not, I will go as far as setting up an hourly reminder for Zorg to give everyone their sweet threads. Just don't try to eat them (cuz the outfits aren't actually sweet...)

Also, I'm sure most have figured this out, but the old Halloween terror, Shadress, will be plaguing us with her presence. She has since gained more power to be a threat to even the most seasoned warrior. Keep in mind she is only interested in fighting those who are supposedly "powerful." So she will only attack those who have attained Avatar status. Anyone 79 or below is safe from her wrath (unless you want to be brave and attack her first).

And shifting gears for a minute. Your favorite newbie Admins (Connor and MattG2) will be hosting a couple of events. Including:

-A spooky story corner (costume optional)
-A Halloween Costume contest (both in game and real life?)
-An Awesome Hour (potentially specifically themed for Halloween and spookiness? Undecided)

More to follow as they post the official threads in the Main Forum.

In closing, be safe, have fun, and beware the spooks!

As requested, I released 3 new recipes in Joe's Merchandise under the Halloween tab. These recipes let you convert 15 colored souls into an Effigy. The drop rate for souls is much more than the drop rate of Effigies and hopefully this will reduce the excess souls accumulating in market storage.

The void bow fortification recipe is now usable. It's a level 7 recipe that comes from the Special Blueprint draw.

Just making a blog post to let people know. It's the first weapon upgrade type recipe, so let me know if anything goes wrong with it.
