Some changes were made to the scenery to give the world a more fitting look for Halloween:
- The stables got a new model with a giant burning pumpkin on top.
- Yubos were given a skeletal look and Bodocs were given a zombie look.
- Bubbles was renamed Yubones, prompting this to become a nickname for all skeletal Yubos.
- The moons of Atys were changed into a scary pumpkin face and a scary skull, respectively.
- Fog, mist and purple smoke appeared all over every city.
- Candy canes were changed into jack-o-lanterns on sticks.

Tattoos
For each race, there was one Halloween tattoo for sale at the tattoo vendor. This tattoo was different for each race and replaced one of the regular tattoos for the duration of the weekend.
Screenshots
Maze of Terror
The abandoned kitin nest of Withered Stock in Grove of Umbra was transformed into the Maze of Terror. During the entire weekend, players could enter the maze of terror to search for the 4 apartment items hidden within. The hidden items were:
- A sandstorm from a sign hidden in the bamboo maze.
- A tiny jack-o-lantern from finding the right Sickly Yubo among a whole herd of them
- A goo cloud from finding the right Tree of Sorrow amongst a whole forest of them.
- A carcass from finding the right Egg amongst a whole batch of them.

The Soul Eaters
From the moment the event started, NPCs in cities started dropping dead, and Soul Eaters would appear in region chat commenting on how they were stealing their souls. By about 18:00 GMT on Saturday, there wasn't an NPC alive in any of the cities anymore.
Screenshots
The camp of the Soul Eaters was then finally found in Nexus, prompting a mass of homins to travel there an attempt to free the captured souls. There were 2 Soul Eaters there; one of them demanded scary stories in return for the captured souls, the other demanded to be bested in combat, becoming stronger every time it was beaten.
Screenshots
4 homins each told a scary story to the first Soul Eater, and the populations of 2 towns were released for each scary story. The second Soul Eater was engaged by a small army of homins and defeated over a dozen times, and in return released the souls of the remaining towns and all the capital cities. Once that was done, the Soul Eaters disappeared, leaving their camp abandoned.

Find my body
At some time on Saturday, players were tasked with finding the body of CSR Sengosha who had lost her head. Clues about her surroundings were slowly revealed in universe chat, and the first 5 players to find her received a prize. She ultimately turned out to be in Upper Bog.
Fashion Show
At 22:00 GMT, a fashion show was held in the Agora of Pyr, where homins could show off their Halloween costumes to be judged and a winner would be chosen.
Screenshots
Exterminators
Shortly after the fashion show, each capital city was attacked by an Exterminator Kitin. Even the city guards did not have enough firepower to bring down these gigantic kitin. Some unaware homins were killed at the stables of every city, and some small groups unsuccessfully tried to put up a fight, before word spread wide enough that all available homins quickly banded together into a large army that took the 4 Exterminators down one by one.

Afterwards, she and some listeners decided to travel to Sandy Workshop and to their surprise did find a mysterious ruined house that had never been there before. Inside the house they found a locker containing a small jack-o-lantern.

Invasion
The last part of the event took place on 19:00 GMT on Sunday, at Destiny's End in Nexus. Homins were told to expect an invasion force there and several teams gathered in preparation. They were beset by waves of Sprightly Yubos, Grunting Frippos and Voracious Yelks. Though they withstood the first waves, once the creatures started coming together the homins were defeated.
