Which was your favorite?
H2k8 was probably my favourite
Why?
Probably because there was so much going on at the same time elsewhere on the site too (I mean, zOMG had just been released for us Head Start ticket holders
cat_wink ) and it was just the perfect follow-up to the Rejected Olympics that Summer as well

However, focusing a bit more on H2k8, I also felt like it captured the attitude of Gaians, especially in the manga
cat_3nodding I mean, seriously, Hallowe'en Hysteria has got to be my favourite of the comics
cat_xd Also, the fact that we could change teams and that each team was portrayed as relatively harmless, just going-about-their-slice of life (consensual interaction with vampires, dark elves just out for a casual bike ride, zombies feed on friendly hugs, while humans jump to conclusion and run amok with their everyday-ordinary-items-that-we-don't-even-have-available-to-us-in-the-Gold-Shops was, well, amazing!

Did you hate one?
Not quite... I really think I loved them all
cat_whee ...But... I have really, really, realllllly loathe the direction the Hallowe'en rEI, since there release as a regular thing, has taken...

Less gore/violence please

Trick question, if you say yes then you hate freedom.
Define "Freedom"?

And before anyone says it, no,
I'm not mining you for ideas. We have our basic gameplan for this year already and yes, it will be awesome. This thread though is just about past Halloweens.
Why... NOT!?
cat_eek Seriously, mine away!
cat_3nodding Some of the best ideas I've seen often come from fellow Gaians, so why not?

I mean, ja, the whole UGC-thing with CrosStitch is... Let's just say... Got its downsides, but... You should really take some of our ideas seriously, because a lot of them have some real potential and depth to offer, especially the ones that are not strictly about items too

I was really fond of the SIN vs BOO and Grave Danger events.
SIN vs BOO for the community feels and Grave Danger for the items.
I must say those, no matter what kind of event we have, my only
true desire is that no Soulbound items exist. None whatsoever.
I agree that the Grave Danger items were some of best items we've ever had for H2k event
cat_3nodding And definitely agree on the "No Soulbound" items bit too, but you'd think that almost goes without saying these days?

2k4 zombies, because the build-up beforehand with the journals and the mystery was really cool - like an ARG or something. You could stand to do something a little ~spooky~ again, and I don't mean, like, gore or jump scares, but the kind of spooky you get reading creepypasta or browsing the SCP archives.
I would
heart them to do more of that!
cat_4laugh I mean, yes, I like H2k8, because the hysteria over some random fortune teller's prophecy that led to disturbing the other (probably even more peaceful than humans) races/people of Gaia, but building up a sense of eeriness on Gaia prior to the event would be great!

Especially since the H2k4 event was a real suspense builder compared to most of the H2k events (well, H2k6 was quite amazing, but I felt the community was a bit less involved and there was more a hardcore group of Gaians that were devoted to it compared to H2k4) Also, I feel like the Manga for each H2k event that followed kind of laid out what to expect, for the most part, for them
cat_3nodding (which isn't bad either!) I mean, at least, they should definitely increase the level of interactivity on part of the NPCs
cat_whee And I really liked how they had LabtechX's MP store selling the Vial of Unknown Liquid too
