I thought of three reasons why mixing both events would be beneficial and appreciated by the community.

1) We couldn't have one in october/november.
2) Since donation pool is up 37 new/re-activated accounts may never have had a chance to see it happen.
3) Not everyone would be focused on running around for eggs, some would just kill ghosts/pumpkins so less  >:( at agi accounts.

Personally even though I have been around a long time, I was always inactive at halloween period  :-\.

EDIT : I apologize I just realised this would have fit better in the Ideas and Suggestions section. If a mod feels its necessary feel free to move it.

I voted yes, it seems like a good idea to me.

No offense but I see this idea as a way to uh.. There is really no kind way to put it so I'll say this instead,  "Promiscuously put out for money" the system.  I mean the point of holiday events are for them to happen during the holiday.  And if we never do experience this next Halloween event then so be it, that'll mean SO V3 will be out and we wouldn't be at a disadvantage for not seeing it since everyone would start fresh.

Am I the only one to have read this over 3 times and still dont have a clue what he is trying to say ?

Thank you for your feed back :) thats what a poll is for but sorry I really dont understand a thing you said.

You are using a holiday event for an excuse to get items when the point of a holiday event is to have it during the holiday not for you to get items.  It will happen next year, if it doesn't that mean SO V3 is out and if that is so you are at no disadvantage for missing it since everyone is starting fresh.  Besides most holiday event items are purely aesthetic(Or not extremely powerful in the game).  

Edit: Found a better word so I edited my post.

So what you are really trying to say is S.O. V3 is coming out next year amiright?  ::)

I'm saying why combine two events when you are most likely going to get a Halloween even this Halloween.  Don't be so impatient.

The point is that we DIDN'T get one last year, even if that was sadly out of Meiun's realm of what he could do in that situation.

I just think it is extremely odd to do it during the time of an easter event whether you got it or not.  Events are like a gift to a community during a time of the year most people observe and I guess I'm just being silly in thinking it would be silly to tarnish that.

This all goes back to how I felt about rabbits becoming normal mobs.  I'm just odd I guess.  I like the feeling of an exclusive event.  I'll just stay out of it then.

Thank you, I appreciated your contribution to the debate.

I voted no for I think the same reason as raeyo (I couldn't really understand what he was saying, sorry :P), just that holiday based events should be around the time of the holiday. If the event was skipped, whatevs, just wait till next year. That would be my opinion anyway :).

I realize my first post was rather crudely constructed but I'm pretty sure the latter ones are better.   I didn't realize my ability to write was that flawed unless it is just my word choice.

Not gonna lie, I only read the first one haha. But I'm pretty sure we are in agreement, so its all good :)

I said no, There'll most likely be a Halloween event this year, and having it during easter would just mean less easter eggs as the slots would be taken up by pumpkins.
And to be honest, the Halloween event hasn't changed at all since the first one in 2007, so I really don't think there is any need. And I know some people weren't here then or at any of the events, but those people can just wait, honestly, events aren't something that Meiun HAS to do, he chooses to give us these events, if he wanted to skip one then so be it.

Not liking this idea,I mean,come on,it's easter,why would you be celebrating halloween right now?
