yes... very yes!



at long last, Halloween Hysteria opened today with a bang, delivering interesting and mysterious plot within new Magna, costume avatar contest, classics trick-or-treating, and surprisingly addictive RPG-like game of all out war between four factions. After investing my time in all of those four features, I can understand why Halloween is the holiday that so many Gaians deeply revered every year. It is that fun, involving, sociable, and very rewarding too.



Magna:
so a prophecy foretold that one group will survive? huh, I can smell something of big twist at the end of tale. I wonder how Ian will get through this since he's a human AND a vamp. Gonna be most interesting tale since Vampire and Olympics saga.

Costume:
well, I already submitted my costume! I heard that the prize will be any letter of your choosing from the year 2006. OMFG. That mean legendary RED SCARF and badassary ANCIENT KATANA is included! If I win it, I will totally donate the prize to my great friend. He deserve it since he lost lot of his stuffs to ******** hacker, that rutaug...

Trick-or-Treating:
well, it is exactly the way as I remember it in X-Mas of 2007. But at least we are getting valuable set of Halloween Jester, the Jackster, and it looks already awesomeness. I might need to get 2 or 3 or 4 sets of them xD

Hysteria Battle:
the centerpiece of entire Halloween Hysteria that following the Magna plotline of all out war between four faction for survival... or so what suspicious prophecy foretold. I approached it cautiously and after playing it for HOURS, I can really enjoy the flexible freedom of combating against 3 others factions for your gains. It hard to explain, really, there is surreal satisfaction that you can get from fighting and killing opponents and earning experience points and items as reward. It almost have Nintendo-ish quality to it, it scared me!

My only gripe is that sometime it really really hard for me to even find and target an opponent who are not dead. That issue is more related with huge amount of people that are waging all-out brawl against each other, making it harder for myself and other. Oh well, early birds get their worms, I guess. At least many of items are epic-worthy and valuable to keep and they don't even looks so cheap! HOORAY for best event items since Olympics!

though I only collected all of Vamp and Human items so far and they're already fricking awesome. I wonder how awesome Zombie and Dark Elf items will be.



Halloween Hysteria Hypes are indeed exceeded. I am relishing in the sense of bliss of being in the best that Gaian Admins can offer. I shall enjoy this for next 7 days!
