Costume Info:
- Every attendee must wear a mask (from the displayed selection) and costume.
- Attendees may not wear Halloween costumes from the costume stone. Your outfit for this event must be one that you have thought up and created from available equip-able items.
- Costumes should be shard appropriate and obvious or easily explained.
- I will provide temporary masks, along with patch clothing & accessories in the dressing area.
- Provided masks will sit in the earrings slot, except those that are helmet graphics, which will sit in the helm slot. Provided patch clothing will sit in the obvious slot (shirts will sit in shirt slot, belts will be waist slot).
- Male characters please note that if you wish to cross-dress, this will be tolerated within shard rules, however many of the female-specific items such as dresses do not sit properly on a male character (they are pictured accordingly).
- I will provide temporary universal dye tubs in the dressing area for dyeing the temporary costume pieces.
- Hair, skin color, gender changes, and other such modifications will be the player's responsibility and must be completed before entering the dressing area.
- Attendees will walk through a strip gate to access the dressing area.
- No old-world clothing or armor will be provided in the dressing area. If you wish to include any old-world items/weapons/accessories as part of your costume, there will be a drop box outside of the event gate. You will drop a bag of your items into this chest before you go through the strip gate. Once you are in the dressing area, your bag of costume items will be returned to you. Do not place any non-costume items into these bags, or you will be removed from the event.
- Players will have one hour in the dressing area to complete and don their costumes. The gate will open at the designated time, and remain open for 45 minutes. If you arrive late, you will have less time to dress.
This event will take place on October 30th at 5:30PM CST / 22:30 shard time. The time is subject to change within an hour's range, but any changes will be announced as far in advance as possible. Please allot 2-3 hours for this event. If you leave before the end, you will not be eligible for any reward(s) or prizes.
You MUST be patched to attend this event!

Each item is pictured twice - in almost all cases one is hued and one is plain, to give you an idea how well they will hue. This way you may select your colors in advance and save time in the dressing area. Note: Some are not hued in either image, these are usually ones where the appearance is very different between the male and female paperdoll.
More details to come as the event approaches.
