Gracia Epilogue is scheduled to hit the Lineage II public test server on Oct. 29 and all players are invited to get a sneak peek at the final installment of Gracia. All you need to do is download the official Lineage II Public Test Server client, which will be available "very soon."

While you wait, be sure to check out the Gracia Epilogue preview site for more information on the update, which will include new quests, hunting grounds, improved vitality and more. The patch notes section still says "coming soon," so players will need to wait until NCsoft reveals more details.

NCsoft has two treats planned for Lineage II players to help celebrate Halloween. The first is the Spooks & Scarecrows in-game event, which gives players some exclusive holiday items. All players over level 20 can visit their warehouse on Oct. 20 to collect one Scarecrow Jack Transformation Stick and five Revita Pops. The stick can be used for up to 30 days and will transform you into a Scarecrow Jack with two special emotes.

Players are also invited to submit screenshots of Halloween or Autumn-themed adena art through Oct. 31 for the chance to win seasonal in-game accessories and items. According to the contest announcement, "adena art is an image that a player creates by having his or her character drop adena and items on the ground, one at a time, so that the dropped in-game items create a picture on the ground."

This year we decided to cover PAX more aggressively than we have in the past and one of the by-products of that choice is our first annual PAX Awards. Even though the convention focuses on tabletop, PC and console games -- MMOs were featured extensively, demonstrating that they continue to become more and more popular in the gaming world. As such, due to our MMO focus we had to be extremely selective about what kind of awards we gave out and who we gave them to. Ultimately, this was not an easy task as all of our nominations are great games. This was especially difficult when it came to selecting the winner for "Best in Show". In the end, tough decisions were made and it's time to reveal those decisions to the world. Without further ado, the Winners!
