News Archive: Week 43, 2024

Euclid has four new human skins for you to enjoy! Step in front of the human zapper for your chance to unlock the skins Experiment 3164, Experiment 870, Glacier, and Graveyard.

The next round of tricky challengers are available to battle! Don't let Scary Chairy, Deathly Harbinger, Candy Scorn, Wolve, Umbrus, and Organ Collector scare you, you'll do fine. Hopefully.

All Morostide challengers will stick around until the end of Morostide. This is wave 2 of 3 for Morostide challengers, not including Roland.

What's this? Instead of finding 2023 items in the Pumpkin Patch, you will now find items from 2018! Enjoy collecting these older items while you can because we'll be switching that year up again soon. 👀

We'd hate to leave trick-or-treating out, so now you have a chance of getting items from 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021! ENJOY THE CANDY (and other treats).

[I]ToT items from 2022 and 2021 are not in the same houses they used to be, so you'll have to find out how they are currently sorted on your own/with other users![/i]

Do you consider the start of waves and waves of Morostide challengers a treat? No? Too bad!

For this first wave (out of 3, not including Roland), you can fight the following opponents: Spider, Lingering Haunt, Pumgpulnug, Carrion Lord, Mirror Ghoul, and Noflaik!

You can find these challengers in the Event tab of the Battle Coliseum. They will stick around until the end of Morostide.

Oh, what a treat. It's time for another chaotic token shop restock!

Over the next 24 hours or so, I will be restocking items randomly in the Token Shop. Don’t assume an item restocked earlier will appear in a later restock, I really am choosing at random. We are not adjusting the wait time between purchases, either, so you’ll have some hard decisions.

Today has sure been a day, am I right? Full of tricks instead of sweet, sweet treats.

Thank you to everyone who has been letting us know about issues with trick-or-treating. As you might've noticed, we've had to bring ToTing up and down multiple times today.

👻 There was an issue with timers that have been fixed! Understand that choosing where you trick or treat or choosing to go with a random house is built on the same timer. The 5 minutes is for the random, though.

👻 At one point, some houses were giving out 'no item'. Which... rude! This has been fixed.

👻 Users are amazing. Y'all always do a thread tracking items and ... unfortunately we made quite a few users think they were crazy. Some items were popping up in multiple "house" groups. That was because anyone in houses 1, 10, 11, and 12 were getting pulled together because of that pesky '1'. This has also been fixed!

🎃 You can't change your house group, it's set in stone because we captured data from earlier in the month to sort y'all. I haven't seen anyone figure out the method yet, so here's another clue. Look to the pets! It's something to do with pets. :)

UPDATES TO COME IF NEEDED! <3

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.

🎃 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.

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.

👻 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!

[I]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! [/i]

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. ;)

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