Date: October 30 - November 7
Announcement: Gaia's Halloween Event is Here!
Notes:
The flavor text given upon reaching the vampire rank Count is a reference to The Count from Sesame Street.

As with previous years, the Halloween 2007 event features both a game for the forums and the standard trick or treating. It also draws a close to the MMVII story line.

Perhaps one of the better events held on the forums, 2007's Halloween game pits humans against a growing army of vampires. All normal users started out as humans, while various Gaia staff started as vampires who slowly began to turn people to their side.
Initially, vampires were rather scarce, and many people who wanted to be turned over were unable due to many of the vampire players being quickly attacked by the much larger human population. Within roughly an hour and a half of the initial announcement being made (which came hours after the event apparently became active), Fleep posted that a feature would be added to allow players to instantly switch sides at no cost. The addition came a few hours later, and players could then visit the enemy base to be switched over.
