I.. dont think either of you are getting the point. There are plenty of Halloween events all month long. But halloween night is specific. The penultimate event.
My whole family will be gone, but I am stuck at home. I was looking forward to spending it with my friends in game and I am not the only one.
I also dont know what blocking new character creation/transfers does? I believe they did state in the LL 24h maint for 6.28 as well as the new DC on these dates.
