Oh...Oh dear, Gaians.
I haven't the faintest clue what I've stumbled into here! The time machine was supposed to take me somewhere serene, peaceful, and full of good napping spots. But instead, I've landed myself in the center of a chaotic battlefield in the midst of some kind of war between godly powers!
center|400px
On one side, I see a writhing mass of rage and darkness, following the vengeful Azrael. On the other, the bright light forces of power and purity, led by the majestic Ciro. The souls of the departed have manifested upon the land as the mysterious Soul Candy. Whichever team collects the most Soul Candy will turn the tides of fate to control the future of Gaia itself! From the darkness, a small but mischievous sprout takes glee in watching the battle rage on. Redeem your soul candy with him and receive fabulous prizes! What role might he play if Gaians donate enough soul candy to satisfy his craving? I fear I might have gotten myself caught up in something beyond mortal control. Oh, this will be the last time I play with the dimensions of space and time!
This is what you may expect on this primeval warfront:
• Duke it out in the forums to earn exclusive new event items and bump heads with your enemies! Collect potions and equippable items from Jack to boost your stats and take down powerful NPC bosses! Paws users- fear not! Check out the Event Guide for a special look at how to use your Advocate items to power up in battle! Every post you make in your team subforum will heal you by 50%!
• Trick or treat through shops to collect candy and prizes while you check out the fantastic costumes your favorite shopkeepers are modeling for the season!
• The triumphant return of Switchem, stocked with some brand new exclusive items that are only obtainable during the event!
• Check La Victoire for event-themed goodies like Azrael's Rage and Ciro's Flight along with all the spooky new updates to come!
Please note that due to the particularly special nature of the event, all event items will be soulbound for the duration of H2k14! This does not include event-themed items purchasable in La Victoire. Once the event ends, remaining equippable items will be released from soulbinding and available to trade and gift!
All Limited Quantity items that are redeemed with Soul Candy will have their amounts completely restocked periodically during the course of the event!
For those of you who have already begun the event, you've done a remarkable job of scouting out the important bugs and necessary tweaks! Many have already been patched up or are in the process of being repaired. Please keep an eye on the Staff Updates as more fixes roll in!
Well Gaians, it appears that we are a long, long way from the Gaia we know. Perhaps a millennium or more! What we choose today may change Gaian history forever! Choose your allegiances carefully, and sound your battle cry! For naps, I say! CHAAAARGE!

- Hello, Gaians!
You all know what time of the year it is: the much anticipated Halloween Event is about to begin! Now, you know I can't spoil the best part of the adventures you're all about to undertake, but I managed to grab a sneak peek at a brand new item that will become available during a special part of the event!

Look fast, Gaians! There's no guarantee Jack will let me get away with something like this for very long. In fact, I think I just heard a faint hissing on the breeze- that's probably my cue to skedaddle! Keep your eyes peeled for the start of a fantastic new Halloween. It promises to be perilous, surprising, enlightening, and even quite terrifying! Two great forces will clash, and what happens next may affect far greater than we can predict. Expect the return of some old friends, some new enemies, and a few of your favorite yearly traditions! Prepare for battle, and be safe out there, Gaians!
- Gaians, I'm here to report that the war is finally over and the results are in! Do you hear that? Exactly. Finally some sweet, sweet oh-so-succulent silence. I must say both Angels and Demons fought valiantly! Whether your allegiances rested in the hands of noble Ciro or fiery Azrael, I saw a lot of inspiring passion out there! Let's hear some cheers from both sides! Angels! Demons! Are you ready for the results that have rewritten history?
:The dominating team for Halloween 2k14 was the Demons, with a final score of...62,400,433!
:The Angels ended with a very close 60,414,058!
:The Demon who topped the leaderboards was Johnny_one!
:The Angel who fought most valiantly was Kris_Toshiba!
Congratulations to all who graced the battlefield with their skill, dedication, and amazing Halloween spirit! For your efforts, all Demons have been granted an amazing prize befitting their achievement. Angels, check your inventories for a special treat as well! And remember: all Advocate Items are now ready for trading, gifting, or selling! Enjoy the spoils of war!
Read the thrilling conclusion to this saga, and see how reality has been rewritten by checking out the latest manga update! Those tears of blood are an awfully familiar sight...It's as if my memories of all Gaia have suddenly fallen into place...Was this meant to happen? We'll never know!
Now that this battle is over Mr. Bibbles and I may be able to get some much needed sleep before we turn out time machine towards the present. The bags under my eyes could carry some folks' life savings! Thank you all so much for helping me find a place to.... zzzzzzzzzz

There are some Jack set items in the event that are used to fight bosses that will be soulbound during the event. As soon as the event ends, these items will be unbound. ...Now, be sure to check out the event! The clock... is ticking.... Edit 10/22 The above should read Advocate set, not Jack set.
