It's almost December, why are graveyards and pumpkin patches still active? Shouldnt they have ended

Shouldnt they have ended with the treasures of deceit??? A month after halloween and still active, c'mon man!

Because it is fun..........

WOW So the Devs leave something running that is fun and you want to whine about it, go play scrooge somewhere else.

My memory may be playing tricks on me, but isn't it usual for it to last until Thanksgiving?

I think it is nice to keep the graveyard skeles going since we have had 2 events that have produced many deaths.

It's not really fun - the butchers for hunting tools to cut the pumpkins are gone . So take it as a nice deco .

The NOOBs are still having fun killing the skeles and others have no reason to go there so the skeles do not bother anyone.  

@Pawain who you calling noob, Noob!  😂

It's not fun and it will return next year. Why not whine about deceit with actual rewards instead of boring skeletons that have been going for the last 10 years for 3 months out of the year, your priorities and whining is misplaced

end it @Mesanna halloween is long over.

Didn't you make this whine thread?

There is no need for that. Does it affect you as a player, game stopper, destroy your fun, or do u need to do something at the cemetery and they are obstructing?

Last time, some players ask to stop invasion and return town to normal because they missed doing stuff in towns.

I love it! I won't have to collect pumpkins next year for any new designs they might add and I do enjoy getting the fertile dirt for my garden beds.

The graveyard skellies have yet to produce any cool colored bones but I still enjoy the kill

Thank you for an actual productive question instead of slinging insults like several others in this thread. Yes there is a very unique feature of the monsters that spawn in the graveyards that make them extremely frustrating and are used to grief players with. While I will not go in to details, rest assured this is a reason why this event being drawn out so long is annoying.

The town guards are too aloof to indulge in conversation, however should you find yourself under attack, or being robbed, within a guard zone you may call upon them for help. You will need to ‘yell’ rather than simply speak, and the word to yell is ‘GUARDS’.

Well that does not work.  Tried in other places also.  The NPC in the pic is a guard.
You could try things before you proclaim them as fact.

He saw that Glacial hair and figured you didn't need any help . . .

That was a cut and paste directly from UO.com Wiki NPC Commands.

Did the system tell you you are in the "guard zone"

Yes I went all the way to the Brit bank with 3 skeles with me.  I took that pic cause the guard is right there.  They also were attacking me.

This is being raised every year:
