Crimboween

Crimboween

Crimboween is the result of a KoL Halloween falling on the real-life date of Crimbo/Christmas on December 25, 2006. It is uniquely distinct from previous crimbos for its combined Nightmare Before Christmas and A Christmas Carol inspired theme along with a new quest, Save Uncle Crimbo!, which spanned the month of December.

October 31st 2006 (Real life Halloween) is the first Halloween during which Trick or Treating could yield cups of eggnog, fruitcakes (without wearing Crimbo Duds), gingerbread bugbears, or candy canes (without wearing Bow Tux). A Crimboween memo was also passed out stating that Uncle Crimbo and his helpers were running Halloween this year instead of the Scream Queen.

For more information on Crimboween developments as they occur, check out the Save Uncle Crimbo! article.

December 1st

A Lonely Crimbo Elf appeared in The Big Mountains. When spoken to, he assigns the Save Uncle Crimbo! quest.

A Spooky Advent Calendar appeared in the Campground of every player. When a day is punched out, a special Crimboween item is given, varying depending on the day. If a player has not yet used a chocolate lump, one will also drop. A new section becomes available every day.

Also starting today a player could sleep as much as they wanted at their campsite even if they didn't need to.

December 25th

All players received a tropical Crimbo pressie in their inventory. Upon opening their pressies, players who had helped Uncle Crimbo received an extra goody.

January 1st

All alternate versions of Crimbo Town dissapeared from the Big Mountains.
