At the current rate, we're careening full tilt towards inevitable
crashes this Halloween because there's a very, VERY high chance that any
new particle effects added for a new boss and map will overflow the
ParticleNames string table even on stock maps.

I'm sorry if someone has already asked but what in the world is going on now
that we are getting "Invalid STEAM userID ticket crashes - I lost a full
server tonight ALL AT ONCE! BAM! All gone cause of same error... this didn't
start till yesterday's update came out.
So going to say it now... we need to stop bringing in new things till the
bugs are addressed! Last year was very unacceptable when it came to the
Halloween update - the game was unplayable for nearly a month due to the
crashes. While I'm like everyone else that enjoys a good addition of items
to keep the game alive I think it's best if the bugs we currently have is
fixed prior to this year's event update - then please be on the ball thru
each day including weekends to solve any bugs ( we know we will get them)
that are released in the event update.
So with saying that - the better date to release this year's event would be
this coming Monday or Tuesday, no later to avoid issues spilling over into
the weekend which is prime playing time for many players considering schools
are back in and people work during the regular week.
A heads up of when exactly it will be released would be very nice so those
of us that run multiple servers can be ready for it perhaps even take time
off to prepare.
