"I trust you're having a frightful night? It's curious what you all risk to snatch up pumpkins..." Minerva coldly trailed off, as though there was a threat she thought better of voicing.
"My Griffin watchmen have reported you have made a nice plunder this month, but since I'm feeling particularly benevolent this evening, I'll be leaving the portal to the forest accessible for a few more moons."
The Spooky Forest will remain open through November 3rd at 11:59 p.m., along with all of our other Event features to let you enjoy them for one last weekend!
The exception to this is the Pumpkin Patch, which we will leave open for another week. :3
Our anticipated Seasonal Shop, dealing in Halloween Pumpkins and Melo Pumpkins, will be opening on November 1st and will be stocking goodies through November 8th at 11:59 p.m. We're ensuring all bugs are squished and making sure everything has enough magic, and maybe putting in a few tricks too. *wink*
But, because I'm a tease, here's a little preview of some things we'll be featuring in the shop:
Ooh, look at that paint job!
Does that last potion look familiar to anyone else? ;)
Pretty pets galore!
Have a safe but spooky night!

Reminder!~
Site Update
Remember, you have just a little over 24 hours to snag the limited-edition clothing sets inspired by this month's festivities!
You can find these stocking in the GP Shop, BP Shop, Premium Outlet and Trash for Treasure!
October 31st is the final day of the Giant Cauldron! But be sure to hang onto your Ornate Cauldron even if you don't manage to snag a pet from the bubbly brew, as we will be turning it into a goodie bag of sorts. :3
Also, be sure to grab the Advent prize on the 31st! It won't be openable quite yet, but you'll probably want what's inside when the magic is ready. *wink*
And don't forget to enter our standard monthly contests for BP and GP Shop pets, as well as the custom game giveaway!
Be sure to check out Slash's pretty post below for some neat, spooky pet/art finds from your peers!

Facelift
Site Update
The Purchase GP and Premium page has gotten a little facelift with some new graphics. A lot of other pages have gotten similar graphics too, so look out for them in the next couple of weeks!
Some small notes:
- Our paypal script was changed. You probably won't notice the difference (though the review feature is cool!), but we definitely like it better!
- The "Mystery Item" is the same for every user and outputs automatically. It is also one per purchase.
- Later today, the paintbrushes will be scripted to be given out automatically. Woo!

Everlasting Memorial

The Everlasting Memorial is a wonderful user-run project that I'd like to draw your attention to. It shows how amazing and caring our community can be, and is a wonderful example of community spirit and our community bond. If you can help at all, I'm sure your contributions would be very appreciated.
