<title>Halloween Update - October 30th , 2007</title>
<description>&lt;b&gt;2007 Halloween Masquerade: Oct. 30 through Nov. 8&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&amp;#39;s time for &lt;i&gt;The Matrix Online&lt;/i&gt; 2007 Halloween Masquerade! Find the jack-o-lanterns around the Mega City and activate them to spawn Exiles. Defeating a wave of Exiles leaves you with a special treat: A box only you can open that contains one of seven possible Halloween masks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hardline and club decorations are up and the Halloween darkness and full moon have returned!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zombies have infested the following neighborhoods and will attack redpills wandering through them: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Slums: Mannsdale Housing Projects and Camon Heights &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Barrens: Manssen Park and Gracy Heights &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;International: Furihata and Ikebukuro &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Downtown: Creston Heights and Edgewater &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Players bitten by zombies will be infected by the zombie virus and turned into the living dead themselves. Player-zombies have access to the special bite attack, which can be used against other players in PvP combat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zombies are known to be vulnerable to Holy Water, which can also be used against player-zombies to cleanse them of the zombie virus. Player-zombies can also use Antibiotic pills to cleanse the virus themselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Changes and Improvements &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Halloween Masquerade event runs from Oct. 30 through Nov. 8 &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Jack-o-Lantern objects found around the city can be activated to spawn Exile NPCs. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Ultra-dark skies with a Halloween full moon have been turned on. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Hardline and club decorations have been turned on. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;All Halloween masks will work during this period. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Level-appropriate zombies will spawn on players in certain neighborhoods. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Players can be turned into zombies by being bitten by an NPC or player zombie. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Players infected by the zombie virus can use the Zombie Bite Ability (under Awakened in the Actions panel). &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Antibiotics can be used by player characters to clear the zombie virus from their RSIs. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Holy Water causes extra damage to NPC zombies and clears the zombie virus from player characters. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Seven new masks have been added this year: five common and two rare. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bug Fixes &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Halloween masks now place on the Marketplace correctly.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Fixed positioning of muzzle flashes for silenced submachineguns and shotguns.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Fixed positioning of pistol muzzle flashes.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The bluepill Amber asks you to escort in her second mission, &amp;quot;A Safe Place,&amp;quot; will no longer be attacked by Amber&amp;#39;s own ASP street gang.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Jack-O-Lanterns now break stealth active stealth abilities on the player activating them.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The close button on the map legend window now works.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The scrollbar on the description window in character creation no longer looks chopped off.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>
