Halloween 2011

Halloween was celebrated throughout October and November 2011. Events included the release of the genus Arak, a garden to find flowers to be exchanged for Halloween-themed customs, daily Advent Calender prizes, a new set of shopkeepers and the Haunted House area which offered many new Halloween-themed items and pets. On the day of Halloween, October 31, there were additional events including the release of Halloween-themed Seasonal Shop and Trash for Treasure pets and items, goodie bags and trick-or-treating between users. On December 10 a special shop was released which sold unbreedable Special Unus pets and weapons in exchange for the floating orbs which were collectable during the Halloween event.

Haunted House
The Haunted House was the first area to be released as Adventure rather than the traditonal Explore areas. The release of the Haunted House was first mentioned in the news on October 1, 2011, when users were told they would have to complete tasks to unlock it and the other Halloween features. The first task was to click on Ghost Orb floating around the site, and when 250 users had clicked on enough of these orbs the second task was unveiled. This second task was to use the new Battledome feature to communially defeat a series of monsters. When these monsters were defeated on October 3, the five Halloween events were opened - Haunted House, Giant Cauldron, Garden, Frankenstein's Lab and Treasure Chests.

The Haunted House contained an array of Halloween-themed pets, monsters and items. It also included the new item Lesser Tendril Gem which could be used to make a 50% edited alternative Ornaga custom. Orange Custom Crystals and Orange Custom Orbs were released in the Haunted House on October 30th, and it was intended that they would only be there for three days - October 30th, 31st and November 1st. However, complications with coding meant they weren't available through Treasure Chests and merchants so they were left available in the Haunted House until 2pm AST on the 5th of November. Orange Custom Crystals and Orange Custom Orbs were put back into the Haunted House, exclusively through Treasure Chests and Merchants for 24 hours starting 12:53 AST, 14 Novemeber 2011.

Spooky Goodie Bags were released into the haunted house on 14 November 2011.

The release of the Haunted House on October 3 caused so much lag on the site that it was disabled along with Explore and the new Battledome and Adventure features. It was intended to be a temporary measure to fix lagging on the site, but due to issues with the coders and other errors on the site (including glitches in the auction system) the Haunted House, Explore, Battledome and Adventure were disabled until October 14. Resultingly, the Haunted House was kept open until November 18.

When users completed all the quests in Haunted House and beat a boss monster at the end, they could unlock a Treasure Chest to get a prize. Treasure Chests were released at the same time as the other Halloween features and initially were coded incorrectly so users could open them without having completed Haunted House.

Garden/Giant Cauldron
The Garden was a page where users could collect Halloween plants and exchange them for custom pets at the Giant Cauldron. The plants were restocked at regular intervals and countdown timers beneath each plant image informed users of how long there was before they could collect the plant. The Giant Cauldron would feature a Halloween-themed custom pet and users had to submit a certain number of plants and either an Empty Cauldron or Special Cauldron to get the pet. The Garden closed on November 18, 2011.

On the 14 November 2011, custom pets were raffled for plants from the garden and Sunken Gnarl, Ghost Slith and Raven Huitzil were released in Frankenstein's Lab in exchange for plants from the garden.

Frankenstein's Lab
Frankenstein's Lab offered special Admin Distributed pets in exchange for specific amounts of items found in the Haunted House. The first pets it offered were Halloween Raptor Gnarl, Haunted Koatl, Biotoxic Chromo, Dead Branches Ippo and Death Angel Lunaris. On October 27, 2011 more pets were added - Pumpkin Patch Arak, Skull Play Ennae, Bone Cruncher Gnarl, Blue Blood Oske and Full Moon Lunaris. On November 14, 2011 three hybrid pets were released into the Lab in exchange for plants from the garden - Sunken Gnarl, Ghost Slith and Raven Huitzil. Frankenstein's Lab was closed on November 18.

When items were exchanged, the user waited 30 minutes for their pet to be created. The Frankenstein's Lab page displayed the message: "The resurrection was a success! Come back in thirty minutes to collect your monster."

Seasonal Shop
On October 31, 200, the seasonal shop was stocked with Halloween-themed pets and items bought for BP.

Trash for Treasure
On October 31, 2011, there were 10 pets and 6 itmes released in the Trash for Treasure shop for Trash Points. The pets were all Halloween-themed and the items were one Random Potion to create any of the Seasonal Shop pets, and five pieces of clothing to make up an undead nurse outfit.

Famine's Feast Shop
On December 10, 2011 Famine's Feast Shop was opened - here users could exchange Floating Orbs (a non-inventory item collected during the Halloween event) for unbreedable Unus pets and weapons.

Advent Calender
The Advent Calender was open during October 2011 and gave users 1000BP and a Halloween-themed item each day. There was no official notification of the opening of the Advent Calender for October 2011, although users were notified later in two seperate news posts.
