Don't forget to try doing this in single player mode - here's the thread for how to:

http://www.vmknobs.com/index.php?topic=5198.0  (thanks flame for how-to)

I completed a spare in single player mode this way from start to finish and got the candy, magic and the gold pumpkin.  Less lag, no ppl in the way - Woot!

Not sure what happened to my post...but anyway thanks so much for posting this.  I spent so much time doing my character and having to shut the computer down many times.  I'm doing my daughter's character in this single mode and what a diference.  I hope I can get her done faster. :)

I got the gold pumpkin and the message in the round table room did tell me when it was awarded. I did NOT do the individual game lobbies. I did all of the other rooms including:

Maps
Mansion
Mazes
Outback
English Countryside
Splashtastic
Fairy land
Mermaid land (note you can get candy in the undersea window room from both sides of the glass)

Dont' forget the colonial garden and the crossroads next to it. None of the stores are on the map either so don't forget those. I did reenter my colonial room, fairy room and underwater room to collect candy in those places. Checkers is the only room that did not give me candy.

Total Candy Count: 196


Thank you for posting this Pete.  I have to say personally I like this route the best.   :)  Total candy count for me was 187, and I was awarded the Golden Pumpkin.  I stayed away from the game lobbies this time around too.    :2thunbs:

If anyone is still running this today:  I dont think that the prizes are pieces of candy dependent: I sent several in game help messages last night during that weird time when we could not use Fairy.  Did anyone else besides the Flame have that issue?  Had something to do with the time change.

Anyhow, one of the more intelligent responses I got was that I was "for rooms short".  They did not say "pieces of candy" but a number of rooms.  Sure enough, after Fairy was available again, I went and did 4 rooms exactly --- GOT the Gold.

Ugh, this event was truly truly frustrating.....

I wondered after seeing someone else's post at another forum, if this was based on number of rooms.

Going to try to do couple more, but in the single player mode!

I haven't run it more than twice so far, so I haven't experienced that yet.  Very interesting find though, Thanks for sharing, because I wasn't aware of the "number of rooms" as opposed to number of candy.   :??:

no way it is the number of rooms. Littlebelle had to do way morerooms than Muppet did So maybe it was a bug? Cause Belle did except maybe 3 game entry doors every room in VFK including Mermaid and Fairy. Muppet did much less seems odd?

Even in single player mode the lag is really bad. You have to wait it out. Sooooo slowww. And it seems if I don't wait for the message to finally come up, the room isn't marked at done (and i dont get my piece of bubblegum).

Heads up, Enigma said you can still trick or treat until opening later today/tomorrow.

How to get the Golden Pumpkin: Do all the rooms (no need to go to Splash, Mermaid or Fairy), do all the lobbies in the space games including the main game lobby and also do your own login room.  Also do each map and you should have enough for the gold pumpkin.  It has worked for me and I even left medieval rooms last and had enough candy before I even finished all the rooms up there.  Good Luck!

:crazy2: Krazy_Kim :crazy2:

Update: Also wanted to add that I did each room including maze room in the mansion too.

I'll be SO glad when they shut this thing off!  I can't get on game at all, now.  "Can't connect to servers". Sigh...I think I only have enough left in me for 1 more go...then I'm done. :sleep:

Flamanar...-will have nightmares about horrid lag for weeks to come-... :waveb:

Well I was doing last second ppl too!!! It was 10:01 am when I went to the Table to say it again!  Phew I got the pumpkin!!!  Logged on another to try to sneak him in:  NO MORE TRICK OR TREATING, IT'S GONE.

While I did not get ALL of my pple done, I am happy I was able to get a good amount done; the lag was so bad during one person yesterday (think it was daughter's character) that it took just about a WHOLE HOUR to get her done....any nevermind what time I went to bed on Saturday night   :notme:

Now I will have to catch up on my sleep at work, lol   :sleep:  :sleep:  :sleep:  :sleep:  :sleep:  :sleep:

My goal was to get five done and I just made it before going to bed last night.  I had worked all month on making a Halloween ride that I wanted to have open on Saturday & Sunday but the lag made it impossible for that.  I appreciate VFK trying to make it super fun for us with all these events and items but they also need to be aware of the limitations of the servers.  Looks like we have a weeks rest before the new epic quest starts up - so that's good!  Thank you to everyone who kept this forum updated with the new releases, spoilers, pictures, etc.  - what a whirlwind!

So, now that it's over I leave you with this poem by Shel Silverstein:

The Day After Halloween

Skeletons, spirits and haunts,
Skeletons, spirits and haunts.
It's a Halloween sale:
A nickel a pail
For skeletons, spirits and haunts.

Skeletons, spirits and haunts,
More than most anyone wants.
Will you pay for a shock,
'Cause we're quite overstocked
On skeletons, spirits and haunts
