There were 5 new common treats. Simply walking up to an NPC and saying "Trick or Treat" and then targeting them.
Beware - NPC's may opt to play a trick on players instead of giving them a treat. However, this year there will be no death involved but players may still be surprised at what can happen.

Tricks
New 2009 Tricks
Instead of an Evil Twin which would attack you in years past, a Naughty Twin could appear which would:
- Teleport you to a random moongate on same the facet.
- Steal some of your candy
The new trick to temporarily polymorph a character into a Pile of Maggots was removed with Publish 62.2 without clear explanation.
Recurring Tricks
- No apparent effect (likely a polymorph to human male/female that goes unnoticed) Skin turned pale white for a time and then a message saying "You have returned to your normal form"
- Bleeding profusely (harmless)
- Polymorph (as per the Magery polymorph)
- "Haunted" Each step the player took played a random sound.
Mystery Quest
A new quest starting at the Court of Truth in Yew: Speak with Jasper the Inspector there.
- Can be done completely in either Felucca or Trammel.
- Every step required in the chain, skipping steps will keep you from completing the event.
- May be repeated.
- Participating characters must be 15 days old (except for Test Center).
For full step by step details of this quest (including lots of spoilers) see: Halloween 2009 Quest.
Pumpkin Patch
Farmers once again could harvest pumpkins this season. Pumpkins could be picked up from most any farm land. Some of them may be double-clicked and thrown as a fire bomb. Additionally, the named pumpkins may be used with the Cooking skill to prepare food items requiring pumpkin. The pumpkins can weigh anywhere from 3-25 stones and very rarely a Jack O' Lantern will spawn.
Jack O' Lanterns
Very rarely, a named pumpkin spawned as a large Jack O' Lantern with a carved face. They spawned in a variety of designs and can be locked down in a player's home and left lit or unlit.
Named Pumpkins
Pumpkins are named after devs, GM's and EM's.
