Somenone has sayd it before: it's a fun party but its not ours. I don't care if people do it, but if someone is asking to make this game become a USA based lore game i will blame on it.
With its actual shape and hearth, this game should focus in druidic or paganistic lore, nor the one from USA. Also,are they the bast majority of players here? All the damn games across the internet has that shit, wht this one 2?

yeah, it should really focus on druidic lore like samhain instead

Samhain (pronounced /ˈsɑːwɪn/ SAH-win or /ˈsaʊ.ɪn/ SOW-in[1] Irish pronunciation: [sˠaunʲ]) is a Gaelic festival marking the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter or the "darker half" of the year. Traditionally, Samhain is celebrated from sunset on 31 October to sunset on 1 November, which is about halfway between the autumn equinox and the winter solstice. It is one of the four Gaelic seasonal festivals, along with Imbolc, Beltane and Lughnasadh. Historically, it was widely observed throughout Ireland, Scotland and the Isle of Man. Similar festivals are held at the same time of year in other Celtic lands; for example the Brythonic Calan Gaeaf (in Wales), Kalan Gwav (in Cornwall), and Kalan Goañv (in Brittany).

Samhain is believed to have pagan origins and there is evidence it has been an important date since ancient times. The Mound of the Hostages, a Neolithic passage tomb at the Hill of Tara, is aligned with the Samhain sunrise.[2] It is mentioned in some of the earliest Irish literature and many important events in Irish mythology happen or begin on Samhain. It was the time when cattle were brought back down from the summer pastures and when livestock were slaughtered for the winter. As at Beltane, special bonfires were lit. These were deemed to have protective and cleansing powers and there were rituals involving them.[3] Like Beltane, Samhain was seen as a liminal time, when the boundary between this world and the Otherworld could more easily be crossed. This meant the Aos Sí, the 'spirits' or 'fairies', could more easily come into our world. Most scholars see the Aos Sí as remnants of the pagan gods and nature spirits. At Samhain, it was believed that the Aos Sí needed to be propitiated to ensure that the people and their livestock survived the winter. Offerings of food and drink were left outside for them. The souls of the dead were also thought to revisit their homes seeking hospitality. Feasts were had, at which the souls of dead kin were beckoned to attend and a place set at the table for them. Mumming and guising were part of the festival, and involved people going door-to-door in costume (or in disguise), often reciting verses in exchange for food. The costumes may have been a way of imitating, and disguising oneself from, the Aos Sí. Divination rituals and games were also a big part of the festival and often involved nuts and apples. In the late 19th century, Sir John Rhys and Sir James Frazer suggested that it was the "Celtic New Year", and this view has been repeated by some other scholars.[4]

In the 9th century AD, Western Christianity shifted the date of All Saints' Day to 1 November, while 2 November later became All Souls' Day. Over time, Samhain and All Saints'/All Souls' merged to create the modern Halloween.[5] Historians have used the name 'Samhain' to refer to Gaelic 'Halloween' customs up until the 19th century.[6]

Since the latter 20th century, Celtic neopagans and Wiccans have observed Samhain, or something based on it, as a religious holiday.[7] Neopagans in the Southern Hemisphere often celebrate Samhain at the other end of the year (about 1 May).

hurr durr hurr durr yeah halloween is a modern american holiday

So people celebrate that. Ok. Nothing else to add.

Not only that... but the christian celebration of the dead about which some people are talking is actually the one that copied the old pagan celebration. When they took over, christians build their churches over ancients temples and had their celebrations the same days as old pagan ones. In an attempt that people would assimilate those and forget them.

That's why "Toussaint" (in french), the christian day of the dead is now. That's why the day of celebration for Mary is (at least in my country) the 15th of august (summer solstice) and christmas is at the end of december (winter solstice). All of those were celtic / pagan / whataver celebration.

Don't cry over halloween for being the impostor. It's actually in the old family.

Cry? Ive been insulted by a mod for giving my opinion. Lol.
Read again what ive posted. This game has its lore
If you wqnt to mix old traditions with new ill give my opinion once more. In spain people dont use disguises for this celebration, and the same goes for other countries. Now it must be done here...
I agree in devs earning money with ego items or whatever they are called. But this game will lost his chance to teach us something different. Devs could do sometging unique with this game lore and old traditions.
But if you kids want costumes and candies go on. Ill just ignore it

1) Cry may not be the best word (my english isn't perfect). Replace with "complain" or something else if you wish. That's just semantic anyway.

2) Don't see where you have been insulted. You were wrong and were corrected with a quote. That's not an insult.

3) The point was that halloween is old tradition. It has been wiped during the rise of the catholic church but it's roots are, in fact older. What you are refering to is in fact the newest tradition.

4) I'm far from being a kid, unfortunatly. At 35+, pretty sure, I'm older than you. Your patronizing tone isn't adequate and the candies and marketing stuff is not what we are refering to.

Thats my fault because i was typing with a mobile phone and i couldnt edit it properly, so i erased the quotes. Cry was refered to you, as a part of my text. The insult thing goes to Sabinati. Last time i checked hurr durr was meant to relate retards. Thats Sabinati style.

Edit: Also I'm 33. My tone is an answer to an hostile actitude anyway.
