I've been griping for a long time about how lacking maple is when it comes to seasonal events, and I've had a ton of ideas that haven't really seemed plausible... until now. The Visitor's have introduced some features that fit perfectly with what I'd love to see this Halloween. It's obviously doubtful Nexon will take any ideas pitched, but you all know how I love to write this sort of thing. The following events would be together, not sequential. Just separate ideas.
Event #1: Night Fall...
At 4:00 pm PST (7:00 EST) the sun in the maple world will set, darkening the skies. Ghosts and ghouls will come out to play and can drop a variety of delicious treats that can be traded in for Halloween prizes. Sun will rise at 5:00 am PST (8:00 am EST).
This allows for players on the other side of the world to take part in much of the event as well. A lot of players are at school during the day anyway, it's not really necessary to have events any time before 3:00 pm in any time zone.
Event #2: Hide and Ghoul Seek
This would be an event map that is partially a JQ but contains lots of long platforms that will require you to hide from zombies. This would be most akin to the Agent event with the Hogul, however timing would be dependent on the bushes (or tombstones!) rather than them disappearing and reappearing.
That's it for now but the main thing I've always wanted to see in Maple during seasonal events is atmosphere. The Haunted Mansion has it but it's so limited to that area that it's kind of lost. I would love Nexon if they'd take some time to dress Chief Stan up like a vampire or Maya up like a witch. Throw some banners up, Nexon. Add some pumpkins! Make it fun
what kind of stuff would you guys like to see Nexon add this Halloween? Even if it's out of the bounds of possibility; it's so much fun to dream.
