Masquerade 2016!



Are you ready to dance? The Annual Masquerade Ball has begun and will be an non-stop party until 11:59pm on April 3rd! The Masquerade Forum will be open until 11:59pm on the 4th, so you have a bit of time to work out any contests you might run!



Migrating Masks has reopened for the holiday season. Make sure to grab a mask and put it on before you start dancing. After all, it is a masquerade. ;)

Note: Any item with the word ‘mask’ in the title should work for dancing!




For those of you that are new to the holiday, when you dance with people you receive either lounge trinkets or steamworks trinkets, which can be spent in the Libertine Lounge or the Steamworks Menagerie!

This is only the first wave of items for the Menagerie! There will be more items added later in the event.

Make sure to grab everything you want from the Menagerie listed under the year 2012 tab! We will be retiring all of those items at the end of the event.



Keep alert while dancing, you never know when you’ll be challenged to a duel by Boudewijn! If you happen to best him, you’ll receive a bag of trinkets. Don’t worry, he won’t hurt you if you happen to lose.

I've always wondered what it would be like to be twerked to death by a t-rex.

Everything under the 2012 tab. So the key is fine.

I have question. When you say you're retiring everything from before 2012, does that mean we won't be able to buy the Yunium Key after this year? Without that you can't make a Steamworks pet, right? Will we really loose the ability to make those or is it just the wearable that will retire and the key will remain? Or will the system to make Steamworks pets change?

Well... no changes on the Atebus maps so far, so probably no plot this Masquerade X_X

I'm so happy Masquerade started! It's not really one of my fave holidays and I'm really not into Steampunk stuff, but the items so far are very pretty! Quite a few things I want. Can't wait for the second wave!!

Seaspray is my new fav sub colour, plus the peacock and rift. On top of that we get all those amazing metal collar pieces! Ugh I love this, I am in love. I dont usually care much for the brown/gold steampunk stuff so to see COLOURS is seriously the best thing ever.

if you go into the wardrobe, then base and click on the basic mouth, I think that's the enamored expression. Though I'm not sure if that still applies anymore. Yes, I'd like to see how everyone looks while dancing the night or day away. Maybe the images will start to show soon. :)

I know! D: Such a bummer. Makes me wonder how we're suppose to set out expressions, too, when that feature is no longer available in the new Wardrobe system.

- The male overlay for the Oceanic Partycrasher Jacket is broken, and I think some of the wigs have the wrong name. Some are "Partycrasher Whirl," and some are "Partycrasher Wig."

I forgot to push my changes to the dance times, so those are right. The normal dance times are higher than when we first pushed the event (because they were still set on last year at the end times haha). They’ll be back down near the end of the event :)

P.S. I got the quick feet buff but my wait time between dances remains 6-7 minutes (got it 3 dancs back) isn't it supposed to be shorter?

Not going to lie, I actually squealed when I saw the update. And then had to try very hard not to squeal again when I saw the Saunter. Best minion 10/10

I am being very serious. Look carefully. If it was just "scratching" as you say it would only do it once or twice before it realized the surface was solid and there was nothing to scratch. Watch as it brings its legs up, it's trying to shake off the burn before it has to put it down to bring up the other leg. That chicken is being tortured. It's not funny at all.

Does anyone have the link that lets us cash in both types of trinkets at the same time?
