Dear players, tomorrow the world will celebrate All Hallow's Eve, or as it is more commonly known, Halloween. On this very day, ancient Celts living on all British isles celebrated Samhain, which marked the end of harvest, the beginning of a new year, and a celebration to honor the dead. Samhain was a very important festivity and was strongly associated with death and the supernatural.
Our team has worked very hard to prepare something special this Halloween, so you, our beloved players, would enjoy it.
Starting off is the new site design, based on the spirit of the holiday. During the celebration of Samhain in 1100AD, when visiting our site, you will see the Halloween heroes – the already well-known Irish lady, as well as two new authentic characters.
There are also several changes in game content – during the whole week, the regular quest locations (Druid Temple, Blackrock Castle, Abandoned Mines, etc.) will contain new artifacts: pumpkins with red or purple background, which in turn will give you wonderful gifts and bonuses. To see what these pumpkins do, you will receive two pumpkins of each type on 31st of October, which you can then use to get the wonderful bonuses that go with them.
To fully immerse into the middle-age celebrations of Samhain, we have added special unique heroes:
Old wise druid, representing a special caste of people, which were responsible for conducting the sacrifices and fortune-telling during the Samhain;
Medieval Scotswoman warrior, a brutal fighter, which is based on the legends of ancient Picts – a tribe living on the northern part of Albion;
Beautiful Irish lady, looking forward to celebrate the harvest, known to many from the past Halloween celebrations in 1100AD.
These heroes will be available for purchase for a week on all servers, for a special price:
Druid: 90 diamonds (80 diamonds on Britannia and Albion).
Irish lady: 100 diamonds (90 diamonds on Britannia and Albion).
Scotswoman warrior: 90 diamonds (80 diamonds on Britannia and Albion);
Additional game changes:

We would like to note that all players who have bought a Gold subscription lasting 3 months or more will receive a Druid hero as a gift, those that bought a Silver subscription for 3 months or more will receive the Scotswoman as a gift, while those purchasing the Starting player's subscription (full time) will receive a conditionally-free hero.
There's more! During the whole week there will be various discounts for different services:
30% on Silver, Golden, Starting player's subscription, and Baronial package;
50% on hero purchases with diamonds;
50% on buying English Longbowmen for diamonds;

Now comes the best part! A unique offer that everyone was waiting for:

This offer will be active for ONE DAY ONLY, from 10:00 31.10.2012 until 01.11.2012 (server time), and will be active for all servers.
