Oooooo! Greetings witches and wizards of the wizarding world, and welcome back to the 23rd edition of the Daily Diviner! My name is Rani, and I’ll be bringing you all of the spooky updates in this edition’s feature article. 2020 has gone by so quickly, and once more October, the season of ghouls and ghosts is upon us. As always, when October comes, Halloween isn’t too far behind! In today’s article, we’ll be looking back into the history of Halloween events on Potterworld interviewing 3 fellow staff members to see their expectations on this year’s event. Shall we get into this then?
Potterworld has always hosted events for special real-world events, such as Christmas, and there is no exception to Halloween! Every year since our servers creation, the amazing Game Design members have worked to bring players enjoyable spooky events for the season. Fun fact; the very first PotterworldMC Halloween event was held back in 2016!
On the other hand, did you miss last year’s event? Don’t worry, I have you covered! Last year one of the rooms in the dungeons, formerly known as the Ghost Ballroom, was specially decorated for the occasion! Players could access parkour and a maze to earn themselves tokens to purchase the event rewards while also locating specific items for the NPCs around the castle. If you would like a better look at last year’s event, make sure to check out the PotterworldMC YouTube channel! Specifically, the one where current Head of Media Sunnya and a few friends checked out the event during a hangout stream!
As always, Potterworld will continue the tradition and will be hosting a Halloween event later this month. Are you all excited about it? I sure am! I asked fellow staff members Spaghelle, TweetTweetTang, and Kalaaaa what they thought about Halloween as a whole and what their expectations are for the upcoming event. Let’s see what they have to say!
How do you feel about Halloween? Do you like it? Dislike it?
Elle: I love Halloween! It’s definitely my favorite holiday because of autumn weather, scary decorations, and just the general vibe of the season. Even though getting older means getting a little less out of the holiday, I’ve found that it’s actually made me appreciate Halloween more.
Tang: I love Halloween - we don't have much of a celebration here in Australia, so I love seeing how Americans and other countries celebrate through Potterworld! I do like Halloween, and I've been making different Halloween skins to wear each day to spread the excitement!
Kala: I think Halloween is a pretty fun holiday! You get to dress up and eat candy with friends! The only thing I would say I dislike about it is the fact that this year, we can’t experience it in person as a community.
What are your expectations for this year’s event?
Elle: I’m excited for the event! Not having the Butterbrew Festival this year was certainly a shame but it also means that Halloween 2020 will be bigger and better than all of the years beforehand, and it’ll bring a much-needed stress reliever from daily life. I’m super excited to see the first event produced by the new Magieventologist team and I hope that everyone enjoys it!
Tang: I'm so hyped for this year’s event. I know the Magiventologist team has been working super hard to make some super fun events, and I'm excited about the Halloween release.
Kala: For this year’s event, I only expect to have a great time hanging out with the people of Potterworld, and I trust that our event team is putting together a day that everyone will enjoy, even if they don’t like Halloween!
And with this, our spooky article has come to an end. I would like to thank Elle, Tang, and Kala for letting me interview them for this special occasion. I hope you enjoyed learning about their opinions on Halloween with me! I hope that you all enjoyed and would like to encourage you to go ahead and read the other articles released in this edition. Are you also excited for this year’s event? Let’s wait and see what the Magiventologist team brings!
