Hi Kinak!
I really enjoyed Halloween this year. This is always a really nice community but especially so lately where a bunch of people donated huge chunks of their limited time and resources to it. How did Halloween go from the development perspective?
I'm sure you don't want to give us any exact numbers, but how far did we get on building? How did it compare to the amount of smashing? Could we have actually finished the dorm with enough dedication?
The blast doors were a pretty interesting mechanic. Will there be any similar non-holiday interactions? We get some of that in PvP, but it's more "unlocking access" to an area rather than toggling between states in a global way.

Non-halloween questions:
I know that wall turrets don't turn Etheric monsters on purpose, but if they did, what would they turn into?
Are there any avatars from limited-time content (an achromatic avatar comes to mind)? How about any more unearthly ones? Any other hints at avatars?
Any hints at how we might smuggle some cyberbowl promotional chips in? I have the promo codes for it but all my various smuggler contacts don't seem interested.
The fountain in the quad- we can't seem to interact with it in any way. If we take Eclipse, can we go swimming with the loose change sharks? Or at least go fishing for them??
The phoenix in the museum - it is described as first as "like a rising sun", and then later "glowing like the noonday sun". Following on, it seems the next step would be to somehow make the sun set? Was this the thing you were talking about that you thought would be obvious but turned out not to be?
Will we ever see chainsaw weapons? Realistically, it would be just as likely to cut yourself as your opponent, but it would be pretty bad-ass anyway. Or even better, chainsaw cyberarms?
Thanks!
PS: If you can't get enough of my rambling, I posted an article on randomness over on the Metroplexity Games site.
Good article - I look forward to more!
