What would you like to see for Halloween?

Halloween is always a special time in UO. Player run contests and events, special game content. Special seasonal themed EM events.
Uo can be frustrating sometimes. the pvp trash talk, the trade channel "get rich luna style" talk, the duping and mythic token debacles, the revert.
Rather than focusing talk on those, i like to keep in mind what i love about UO. And the goings on around Halloween is one of them.

Personally, my favorite Halloween season in game was the ones around 2007ish, where we had all kinds of things going on. Besides trick or treating, there was the quest that involved killing the bone liches (which dropped the conjurer's trinkets and gimiores) and the quest that involved the wall carvings, and killing the spider boss which dropped the small webs.
Plus there was the headless horseman which dropped cursed arties and was always a good time (i love it when nowhere is safe! and it was common to find a headless horseman at the bank)
There was also the graveyards, where twilight lanterns could sometimes be found.
This was all at once, if the devs can come anywhere close to providing that much to do in the upcoming Halloween it would be amazing!

This thread is to talk about what we as players would like to see for Halloween this year, and as a place to post about our past favorite in game Halloween seasons, and maybe the Devs will even see it and add some ideas before October is upon us.

After giving this some thought....

1) Naughty Nurses
2) Innocent School Girls
3) Evil / Heavenly Angels

**MOSTLY... just what kind of excuses the ladies can come up with to wear something ridiculously short ! **

= )

OHHHH... In UO ?? Umm... pumpkins I suppose or Some sort of Cool looking MASK with a new Graphic... Wearable perhaps?

I would like a new set of items from begging, the bones again this year would be lovely, and oh idk a nice mini invasion of a random city by all things creapy.. don't leave out any city mind you so luna and umbra would count as would zento . 1 city- for perhaps 2 hours invaded by the horde of monsters fitting the bill say every 4 to 6 hours apart.
Main critter can be Black Lich Lord of Doom type... filled with goodies and all who smack his tush get a gift of say lantern of "happy holloween" color can vary. Click on it for light and get a chance of a piece of random candy.

I would like to see a boss creature and supporting mobs appear once an hour in a random dungeon, or any other location in UO. Then an announcement goes out over the Town Crier system (including Sherry the Mouse) announcing the new spawn location.

Simple retitling and new artwork for the bone boxes. Use the gravestone theme mentioned earlier. Instead of funky colors for the rarer types. Assorted gravestone with the top rare a stone coffin with a carved lid. Once the holiday is over that container art can be added to the mallet and chisel craftinbg list.

And for less tears about getting more crap to take up lockdowns for the collectors and hoarders. Have a turn-in for this years drops and have a raffle pull. Chance is based off each drop. One of those 1 in 25k chance for that years top prize. Rideable Bull Skeleton or the Broom eth.

*REMINDER* All great ideals for the 2015 holidays cannot be submitted untill November 2013.

Why, I must wonder, has so comparatively little attention been paid to what we actually are getting for Halloween, which has now been revealed (see my earlier post in this thread).
