OCTOBER EVENT - TO HELL WITH RABIES

Rabies & Nightmares

The month of horrible nightmares has arrived once again, and this time the october is scary not only because of the night terrors, but also the most terrifying disease is spreading through Lioden lands - Rabies! The animals are noticeable enough - just kill them all and reduce the infectivity, careful as you might get infected too! Beware of exploring at night, though… the dead do not rest.

Rabies: Rabid Animals can be found in explore, any time of day and in any zone! Each fight, aside from currency of Blood Beetles, can give you RABIES! It's a very small chance but it's there! If you contract rabies, your lion will look like this: There's cons and pros! Your energy won't raise above 80%, you cannot eat, and you might infect other players by PVP! But, you might notice the rabies rage gives you more strength in battles! in order to cure it, you have to buy Devil's Claw in the halloween shop (it costs just 2 BB and has 4 uses). The more rabid animals you kill, the more points you will add to the unlock bars! There is 4 tiers, with the last one unlocking a creepy crafting altar! (note: Last year's items are returning! Expect new ones as well!)

Halloween: At night, all the nasty filth comes out. One of the older events is especially scary, but if your karma is high or low enough, you might overcome the hellish creature and get a special reward! 2017: * Bat Shop: There's tons of new decors that will be unveiled within days in item catalogue. This year, we no longer have 5GB decors. New bat shop Applicators this year contain: - Bloodbourne base Applicator - Bloodbourne Markings Applicator - Unholy Markings Applicator Halloween bundle will as usual will contain some new decors from the shop. No new bundle-unique decors this year. Remember you guys have a tier 4 - a place where you craft Shards of Evil into mane applicators. Because you guys voted for a new mane in August this year instead of October, we have nothing new to introduce this time. Story: We are introducing new Lore! Since we always had demons appearing all over during this time of the year, I decided this could be expanded into a full blown thing. Now, this year isn't as giant as July's branching storyline with choices, however you DO have choices! Because in september two developers moved to new houses almost at once, the timing was just too bad to prepare a giant storyline. This year, we hope you will enjoy being introduced to the whole situation, doing daily quests and picking sides (don't worry, this year's choice won't affect you next year!). You will meet a Manticore. He will tell you that there's a battle between Heaven and Hell and let you meet either side. Now, be aware, that your choice will be permanent to a degree - you won't be able to switch sides between Angels and Demons, but you will be able to postpone the decision and hang out with the Manticore, or even come back to him if you're done with the either side! Each of three alignments will open a shop on October 5th (This is because of the move and delays ;0; next year the shops will be open on 1st). Heaven and Hell's story will also expand on October 10th as they need to observe you first before they can trust you further and... they might upgrade your powers if you show your dedication! :O oooo? Summary: * You will meet a neutral Manticore that will let you pick a side, or not pick a side with preference to do neutral quests until you change your mind. You can also choose to never pick a side at all. * When you choose to side with Heaven or Hell, you will lose access to the Manticore and its shop, unless you buy yourself a way back. * When you choose a side, you will not be accepted in the opposing faction at any time of this year even if you go back to Manticore. * When you side with Angels, you will only battle Demons in explore, and vice versa. That of course does not affect usual explore encounters, including the Halloween ones. * You will gather new currency and reputation for the two factions as you fight their enemies and finish daily quests. * They reward you with Reputation which will make you be able to progress on October 10th as well as unlock FREE REWARDS in the faction's shop! Example - energy, titles, currency (I saw Monkey Teeth in there!) * Each faction uses opposing faction's trinkets as currency. Demons want Nepheline Feathers and Angels want Demonic Scales. * Manticore has no care for the incoming Apocalypse and prefers Blood Beetles in his shop. * Manticore has unique decors in the shop but also Bloodbourne Mane App, older decors and rare non-event items. It will also have a Crunchy Worm for sale (more about it later). * Heaven/Hell have unique decors in the shops as well as special effect items and energy boosts. Angelic and Demonic Mane Bases are in each shop respectively. * Heaven will sell angelic decors / items. Hell will sell demonic decors / items. * Your karma will have a very minor effect when meeting the entities, and as evil lion you still can join Heaven (although Angels won't be too nice to you). If you do that, remember that the daily quests will require you to gain karma (thankfully you can swap that quest :D). And vice versa, of course. * Crunchy Worm upon use will have a big chance to duplicate mother’s looks onto 1 cub from the litter. * Daily Quests will be randomized and rewards as equal as possible no matter which faction you choose (remember you do have upgrade perks after 10th). * You will have an option to swap a quest if you are not pleased with given one. System will pick a different quest from the pool. * On October 10th, if your reputation with chosen faction is great enough, the Novel will continue and grant you a special power usable in Explore that reaps special rewards! Things will get hardcore. * If your reputation is not great enough, the Novel will just inform you that you need to prove yourself via daily quests and story will not trigger further. Use our wiki with more official info! :D (still being updated as we launch though!) If you have more questions this news post list can be edited later! Do not fear - the story will introduce you slower than whole big news post at once! Enjoy the game and you will learn everything! :D

Event starts on October 1st 00:00 and ends on October 31st, 11:59 pm. All unused currency is stored on your account and will be accessible next year, just like every event!

Thank you everyone who invented and suggested content for October! It is hard to list everyone and find every thread, but let me just make a list of what I can! PM me if you know of anything I missed! Remember that we take suggestions, but they have to be edited often to our needs and mechanics, so things change.
- Bloodbourne Base
- Unholy / Bloodbourne Markings
- Adjusted Rabies Notification
- Bone Bodypaint Decor

I would like to also thank the wiki team for the upcoming content, and various other suggestions that get either lost or links didn't get noted down such as the neutral Manticore, concept was suggested by Lex, and the design/personality created by our art team!
A huge huge thank you to all staff that helped me write the roleplay text, correct the english and tested the event! And obviously the coder for coding it all!

Thank you everyone!

We might do something special for Friday the 13th :O
