It's spooky, scary time for all! There are some updates for Morostide this year, so strap in.

The Pumpkin Patch is once again open for those hoping to get their pumpkin fix. You'll have a chance to find Jaxon's previous minions (you'll know them by their cool glow) as well as Snowflaik, which he would like returned thank you. There is NO new minion to be found in the patch this year. That doesn't mean there isn't a new minion, it will just be released later in the holiday.

:jack_o_lantern: There are less new items than usual added to the patch this year. Throughout the holiday we will be adjusting that previous year slot! There will a news post to let you know which year is now going out (say items from 2017) along with 2024. This will give y'all a chance to get old foods and books. ;)

What does that all mean? Right now you get 2024/2023 items from the patch. In two days it might be 2024/2012 while in a few days after that, it could be 2024/2018! Remember, there will be a news post to let you know. :)

The most important part of Morostide is clearly Trick-or-Treat (ToT). When you visit a friend's profile for a treat, you might just get hexed. Retaliate by throwing an egg or TP roll! For every 5 people to ToT at your house, you'll get an item as well. Use the following sCode in your forum signature or status so people can easily visit you.

Code:

There is a link on the news sidebar for Random ToTing. This link DOES expire and when that happens just hit the "Random Trick or Treat" button on the page to reset it. Random ToTing gives you a shorter wait time of 5 minutes during most of the holiday with 3 minutes on the last day.

:ghost: Now, what's different about ToTing this year? We've changed up the method of what house gives out what items. The past few years it's been what month you joined. We look forward to seeing your theories! There are 12 possible groups to be sorted in. That's your only hint for now.

This is the only wave of new items for ToTing. Like the pumpkin patch, we will introduce some older items later in the holiday. Right now enjoy 2024 and 2023 items!

Thank you, everyone, for your patience while we fixed ToTing. There was an issue with the timers, and some houses worked giving out items while others didn't. Both should be fixed!

Euclid is once again letting people stand in front of his zapper for the chance of getting a cool avatar skin. There will be new skins added later in the holiday. :)

Of course, there are floating pumpkins this year, but there are no new carved ones. I can hear the wails now of users wanting more attention to pumpkins. Well, you'll just have to wait. You'll want to keep a hold of your squash, gourd, and pumpkin items for a later Morostide project. ;)

:jack_o_lantern: Morostide will end at 11:59pm on November 4
:jack_o_lantern: The Morostide forums will be open until November 10 to finish any contests or giveaways
:jack_o_lantern: Challengers for the spooky season will be coming out in waves throughout the holiday
