We're taking down all the Lineage servers at 1PM CDT today for a maintenance update, which will feature the rain-shortened Halloween Event and one small non-event change. The event will last until 1PM CDT on Wednesday, November 7.

Men and Elves alike mostly scoffed at Gran Kain's previous attempt to spread havoc and destruction throughout Aden on All Hallow's Eve. Since that horrible night some two years ago, the mere mortals continued their ridicule of the deities by ruthlessly slaughtering their minions, engaging in useless magic tricks, disguising themselves in costumed parodies and brutalizing candy-filled effigies of the Gods with clubs and pointed sticks. Unable to absorb the mockery for yet another year, letters spread by the followers of Gran Kain have appeared throughout Aden, promising chaos and destruction come Halloween. The Wizards of the Ivory Tower are devising a way to undo Gran Kain's wrath, but it may take some time before they are ready.

The time of chaos is approaching yet again...
