There are loads of cool new Halloween inspired outfits to purchase

On Halloween night at 5pm there's going to be a massive party in the plaza with loads of decorations everywhere.

Players will also get a visit from a character called Jack the 'Czar of Halloween'. By giving him treats and candy players will get in-game rewards.
