27 October - 4 November
In the year 1812 the first family member of Darion's family bought the manor "Heart of the Manor".​
But then there was a witch, a witch putting a curse on the manor.​
The family of Darion will live forever in dark, storm and cannot get out.​
Now 200 years later, a couple of days before Halloween...​
Mother Lilith Angelion died travelling through the cave the family ever made.​
Her ghost is still around, being in the in-between, because she needs to revive her body.​
A hard time for Darion and his family, Darion is since then only around the gate of his manor and is not up to much of contact.​
Even his daughter Emily is not allowed to get in touch with Veren, her lover.​
Now here comes you!
You are one of our guests on the Blocktopia SMP server, in our Halloween eventworld.​
This halloween world contains puzzles, mazes, quests, trick or traits, treasures.​
Treasures
The whole manor and outside of it, is full of chests with goodies inside of it.​
But it is not always as easy as it looks like, and in total there are 169 to be found individualy.​
Trick or traits
Staff (if online) are hiding all in and around the manor, with as well a lot of goodies.​
Every staff member gives you one valueable item, so try to find them all!​
Quests
There are 3 quests in the halloween world, because the family needs your help!​
To start a quest...​
You need to right-click on the person, and say "Yes" to accept the quest.​
After you have said yes, you need to do what is told you to receive the points and items!​
Quest too difficult and you want to start another one?​
No problem, just use /quests quit, and then right-click on another person who can give a quest!​
Bone Collector
Mother Lilith Angelion has recently died, but her body is not in once piece.​
Collect the right amount of bones by killing the skeletons to give her life her accomplishment!​
She can be found at the graveyard at the back of the manor.​
Love Letter
Veren is truely in love with Emily, but Darion doesn't want him in the manor.​
Veren wrote a love letter to Emily to stay in touch, can you bring it for him?​
He can be found in the garden at the front of the manor.​
The Last Ingredient
Dr. Tesla is about to finish his potion, but stupidly enough he forgot to add a silverfish, without the silverfish the whole manor will blow up!​
Find the silverfish for Dr. Tesla and bring it to him.​
He can be found in his room nearly at the top of the manor.​
Minecraft 1.4Like we have plans for our Halloween, so has Mojang.​
Tomorrow it will be released, and I suggest you not to update to 1.4 till the event is over.​
OR you install Nostalgia/Back up 1.3.2 and save it.​
But how do I get in the world?
If you go to the spawn of the normal world where you play on, there will be a portal placed that brings you to the eventworld.​
Special thanks to:
Salmon77 for making the manor.​
Blackvein for being the developer of Quests, and being able to help me out setting it up.​
Alkatraz for filling all the chests and listing them.​
TheQube for general suggesting and testing (and his awesome images).​
The staff as a whole, without such decent team we wouldn't even managed to set up this much!​

roxaschao <3 for that reference.

Also let me ask some typical questions that people will have:
1.Is PVP on? and if so does that go for the regular SmP world too or just the world with the haunted house?

2. IS it going to be possible for everyone to do the same tasks since if 1 person completes the silverfish one and they took the only silverfish on the map (in theory) how will it work then?

3. Do banned people get unbanned for dis event or is it a too bad for breaking da rules type of deal?

4. This is a dumb question but we do get to keep the stuff afterwards if we want correct?

5. Why do you make such more awesome events for SMP then for TNT? Hm? You like them better? Well do you punk?

With Love and Helium,

I'll answer some of the FAQs which balloon posted.

1.Is PVP on? and if so does that go for the regular SmP world too or just the world with the haunted house?
PVP is off in the Halloween Event World, there are two seperate worlds, so you're good to kill people in the normal SMP world (but everyone will be in the halloween event so there will be nobody to kill).
However, mobs WILL spawn in the Halloween World, so you're not 100% safe.
2. IS it going to be possible for everyone to do the same tasks since if 1 person completes the silverfish one and they took the only silverfish on the map (in theory) how will it work then?
All the tasks (quests) are run by a very sexy plugin. It should be possible to find the items required in the world. (At least the two I have done you easily can).
3. Do banned people get unbanned for dis event or is it a too bad for breaking da rules type of deal?
Nope, not unless their unban date is before 4th November.
4. This is a dumb question but we do get to keep the stuff afterwards if we want correct?
Unless you die from mobs or the void,then yes.

Simply said, there are more possibilities and freedom with a premium server than with a classic server! :p

Thank you Alkatraz for answering the questsions, but I will add something to the answers.

PVP is off in the Halloween Event World, there are two seperate worlds, so you're good to kill people in the normal SMP world (but everyone will be in the halloween event so there will be nobody to kill).
However, mobs WILL spawn in the Halloween World, so you're not 100% safe.
PVP is off in the Halloween world, but also off on the actual day of Halloween (so no the full 8 days).
As well, the only 2 mobs that spawn are the enderman and skeleton. (The silverfish is there too, but that is a special case)

All the tasks (quests) are run by a very sexy plugin. It should be possible to find the items required in the world. (At least the two I have done you easily can).
The letter you need to bring to Emily; there will be a chest next to Veren with the letter inside of it.
The Silverfish is walking somewhere in the manor, if you walk to the silverfish and you are in a close radius, you have done that part of the quest and the silverfish won't disappear so everyone can find it!
The bones can be obtained easily by killing skeletons.
TL;DR all items and requirements are easy to find and/or obtain!

What armour would you guys suggest bringing? Is there like traps and such that send you into the void or monster spawners?
We have not made any trap you can die from, as well there are no mob spawners, they spawn naturally.
If you are able not to look into the eyes of enderman, can easily avoid the skeletons, and not fall unneeded, then you don't need any. Though, I would to be sure of any case to bring yourself iron armour!
