    Default Halloween costume rentals...

    How about if the devs created like a few costumes- ghost, pumpkin, vampire...
    And also used current game designs like skeletons, zombies, and bosses like Brom Dandy and Skeller....

    We pay maybe 5P to 20P to "rent" a costume for the 24 hrs of halloween. A ghost is 5p.. A glowing eyeball skeleton is 10p... Brom Dandy is 20P... After 24 hours, the rental disappears from our inventory... Like a tux rental

    People who don't like all the fun things in the game wouldn't be bothered because it's one day.. We'd have a blast.... It could be lots of fun...

    I like it but I want buyable costumes too

    Also it would have to be 48 hours instead of 24 to accommodate October 31st through all time zones

    You're right... 48 hours is definitely needed...

    I like the idea, apart from the rental part.

    The fun is having a Halloween costume to wear after it's finished, so other people can see you were around for the event

    I agree. I just think there are folks who would complain if the costumes were permanent because they'd say it made the game silly or whatever the complaints are about things like cowboy hats. I just thought this would be a way to let us have fun which not making a permanent change in the game environment.

    5p is like $1. I personally have no problem paying $1 for a Halloween costume that lasted for 48 hrs... I'd rather have temporary than not at all

    The rent idea is a fail idea-This idea is much better-The devs make an exclusive quest for certain holdiays...we play them and get certain holiday items...We also get to keep them for however long we want.

    Maby just have a 5 plat cost for a small town that sells all the gear. the town could be around for a week then reapear once every year. Possibly have maybe three quests that award some cool gear or masks. Maby have a randomly spawning halloween boss on a road coming off the town.

    only 48 hours on the clock! i belive that in those 48 hours they should have costums for sale and i mean to keep forever. But im talking crazy prices like 150P something that will be remebered in two years from now and be worth like 30M lol BUT, THE COSTUMS ARE LIMITED TO ONLY TEN PEOPLE!!!! so its gonna be like whos gonna be up at 11:59PM to get the costums lol then we'll see who the dedicated people are :P

    Good idea, Necrobane...

    Cascade- it is not a fail idea just because you don't like it. Your exclusive dungeon is a good idea but it would take a lot more time & work. I can see them doing something like that for Christmas maybe...

    SORRY, FAIL. U CANT TRADE PLAT ITEMS. and i want one so forget it. also... 150 plat is stupidly excessive and the devs cant be that cruel.

    edit---- maybe a competition or even more limited SPECIAL pumpkin helms. a normal pumpkin help 15 plat, a PURPLE pumpkin helm top 5 competition winners only.

    No need to be so rude. He's thinking outside the box. Maybe they'll make these plat items tradeable!
