Halloween Hullabaloo or the King's Kerfuffle

 * A petulant lord
 * Belligerently bemoans
 * And sobbingly roams.

 * And serenely giggling knives
 * You'll laugh for your lives!


 * Glumly impatient
 * Smiling with menacing grace
 * Maniacal face.

Halloween Event

 * Made preparations for the Halloween events.

Guild Battle Changes

 * The brief damage immunity that players have when resurrecting at the shrine now protects against lifestealing effects.

Bug Fixes

 * Fixed a bug that caused Glyph of Immolation to not affect some targeted spells.

Miscellaneous

 * Moved Durmand and the other Bonus Mission Pack NPCs so they do not interfere with the Halloween celebrations.

 * The poem included in this update is in haiku verse.
 * Amber Chunks and Jadeite Shards from the Factions Rewards NPC indicated that they cost 5,000 faction each. If option selected, would show that each Amber/Jadeite granted 5,000 points to title. - This was corrected in the update the following day
