Bleached InuYasha Galaxy

With the holidays coming up, we have decided to do something real special this time. We normally hold small events on other holidays, but I figure it's time for something big.

InuYasha Galaxy will be holding not just one event, but many. Some of the events are based on the holidays and will last from the 17th to the 31st of this month. The other events will be permanent, since they are major changes to the MUD.

The limited holiday events (what has been planned so far) are as follows:
-All (non-player) shop prices are half-off!
-Double experience gains for everyone!
-One free shard and holiday item for every character!
(Remember that the above will take place from the 17th to the 31st.)

The permanent MUD changes are to be put in by the 17th if everything goes well. One of the largest areas in the MUD will be installed around that time. Also, a currently installed area will be greatly expanded. The exact area names will be left a surprise. Creation of the Shikon no Tama will be possible as well, and a menu driven system will be installed as well for a certain related change. Again, the exact change will be left a secret.
