Next Friday: Mogloween Returns
Getting a Head Start on Halloween!
Next Friday is September 30th... and we are going to start our month of Halloween celebration a day early! Log in next weekend for candy, costumes, & craziness! If you haven't joined us for this event before, Mogloween is the fall seasonal event where you Trick or BEAT your way through the spookiest, creepiest releases we've put out over the last five years! Just /join mogloween and get ready for bats, brawls, and LOTS of hallow-SCREAMS!
Ok... not RIGHT NOW, but starting next Friday, September 30th
Welcome to MystCroft!
It is a dark and stormy night, fog creeps through the trees and into the houses of Battleon. When you step outside, a beacon pulses in the darkness. As you walk towards it, ghostly moans grow louder. When you enter a clearing you KNOW wasn't there before, you see a portal that takes you to... MystCroft, realm of spookily-delicious Mogloween adventures!
Find the Cauldron sisters, Bubble, Toil, and Trouble, when you /join mogloween and help them play their tricks to save Mogloween... and all the delicious treats that come with it! You'll also have a chance to unlock some of our most awesomely spooky (and most popular gear) of the year!
Find the Necronaut in Mystcroft!
Last year, we introduced a new challenge fight: the Necronaut! Next weekend, you can take him down again and replay everyone's favorite spooky holiday from years ago & get 2016 Seasonal Rare items.
This year, we'll have a NEW side story, featuring Sora to Hoshi, Samba, Beleen, and a new Loremaster as they investigate a tale hinting at a legendary race of creatures and a mystical celebration...
