Pros and Cons - Hallowe'en

Let's try something. Let's make a list of all the things we dislike AND like about this update. We're always quick to complain, and normally squeeze a reassuring "but it was great nonetheless"... so let's actually way it up.

The Hallowe'en Update!

Pros;
- Spiders' lair has the potential to make a nice agility course.
- The clicking of the spiders' mandibles actually crept me out, well done sound-effects people!
- So far as I could tell, most in game references to Hallowe'en were spelt correct (with the apostrophe!).
- The bank update was massively appreciated! However, I'm still fudged if I become F2P 'cause I've nearly filled both!

Cons;
- First level of the spiders' lair would have done well to have "dead-ends", in other words, the ability to take paths that lead nowhere. This would make player-unique-paths harder to guess because you could take a turning that leads nowhere.
- Guthix's involvement in the back-story completely ruined it, and further killed my liking of Guthix.
- Lack of dungeon maps. Jagex released multi-story mapping... it would be nice if, when they released an update, that they would add the map to the World Map! Even if it's not available on the drop down list. To prevent spoiling the maze, simply remove the exit-ladder from the map.
- Rewards are too few and, to be frank, ugly. The cape should be transparent between the webbing, and not something that Spiderman rejected as a costume possibility. As for the spider, it would be nice if were a pet that we could drop... rather than forcing it into our weapon hand. Perhaps even an emote whilst wielding it that has it spin you in web like a silk-mummy.
- Where's the Grim's reward? He was the one who employed us... logically, we helped both. It would have been nice to have been given a new costume at least!

I honestly thought the Halloween(It is 'Halloween' over in America) was rather cute. I didn't really take the time however to critique it, since it is something festive, and not particularly serious.

I wonder if Jagex could actually use it for a base (or side-quest) for the new quest series that just started to show through, but that is highly unlikely. It would be a cool thing to do. If you are wondering how I thought of that, in the quest, if you talked to the characters, they all mentioned Guthix like all the time... hehe

It's commonly spelt Halloween over here too, but correctly it's spelt Hallowe'en. Why? Because it's two words: Hallows Eve (sometimes Hallows Even). When you start spelling don't without the apostrophe then that's just lazy.

It's commonspeak

Just because it's spelt one way... Doesn't really make it a pro

Well... a con is that no one seems to like it and it's annoying how long it is.

I'm sorry. it was short and really easy. It was fun. I honestly don't give a flying **** as to how they spell it. The cape may look ugly on it's own but it's designed to match the skeleton outfit. They pet shouldn't be droppable because that would give non members a dropped pet.

I don't care how they spell it, I put it in the pros. I was pleasantly surprised it was spelt right. As for it not being drop-able... how is that even a reason? I couldn't care less if it means free-to-play gets a pet.

Yeah... there's nothing wrong with it... another taste of member-dom.

Con - a quest with no quest points -.-

I wouldn't consider that a con. As it's a holiday event, it won't be here in a few weeks. What about the players who were on holiday? They won't be able to wear their Quest Cape because of a quest they can never complete.

You know as a member you can play all the more recent holiday events when they're over? At least the witch one...

Pros - Jagex has given us a Halloween event that they don't have to

Cons - None
