HALLOWEEN '14: Part 3

As promised in the last blog post, we now offer you APB: Reloaded Halloween Event.  This Dynamic Event is unique, compared to the events that have been released in the past.  This event is our test bed in trying and introducing new elements, mechanics and direction to the existing system.  We are proud of what has been created and enjoyed playing it as much as making it. I thank you the players, for your patience and your understanding for the minor delay (we actually finished 2 days earlier than announced). I know you all want to jump in ASAP, so it is with great pleasure I present to you:

Halloween 2014 Horseman Event

The rules for the event are simple:

1.       Collect X amount of pumpkins to become the HORSEMAN and start the event (Timer Starts).

2.       The HORSEMAN must kill other players to convert them HORSEMAN’S army (SOLDIERS).

3.       SOLDIERS must kill other players to recruit them into the HORSEMAN’S army.

4.       SURVIVORS must avoid being killed, till time runs out (Timer Ends).

NOTE:  SURVIVORS blip on the HORSEMAN’S army's radar when the bell tolls, signifying that the HORSEMAN Event is coming to an end...keep fighting, running or hiding to survive.
