I'm just glad the dead heroes of the city haven't risen from the grave. Atlas or Talos rising would be a true nigghtmare. Mind you they'd make interestiung GMs...

That would be cool! I would love to have a scrap with Zombie Atlas and Zombie Talos and it would bring a new meaning to 9pm under Galaxy Girl!

Do not go gentle into that good night.

I would've have said "would it kill them to put a paragraph or two on the website, just to put out an official 'story' on what's happening?"
Then I realised:
+ No updates other than the odd news item
+ Out of data fansite listings
+ Not a single mention of the NEC / Memorobilia... and that's in less than a month
So am I surprised that they haven't put the effort in to gives us 'content'? No. It seems like the community / content teams aren't quite what they used to be. Hmm, funny that.

No we did not!!
The zombies are clearly lacking any metaphysical items, I have found mostly when I sl.. put them at ease, that they give me teck items. Little baubles of enchantments.
But no magical artifacts.
Of course you could be partly right FFM, but dont give us the blame. Blame.. umm.. Techno-wizards! yes.. thats it..
Techno Wizards.
...
(mumbles: when i find one i'll point you too him)
right.. of to beh.. umm put down some more zombies.

Yes. They drop tech parts. Its ALL a Nemesis plot!
Having listened to a metaphysical explanation of Halloween from a friend in Ds (entertainment eh?) there is an old school backstory.
Zombies from the rooves, floors and cielings?
I think that the Pantheon, Nemesis and Vahzilok have all teamed up. Their coming to get us! 0o
Or, indeed, they 'cut back' on the poor peeps who did creative writing =[

weakened barriers between dimensions? cause i don't see a lot of graves that they're rising from. they come from the ground and yet there's no holes. is all our time travel and portal jumping threatening the multiverse itself?

The whole of Paragon City is an old indian burial ground, obviously.
Including slanted building roofs and mid-air, apparently (I've had them rise from both recently with my WS. Gave me quite a shock when they rose from the roof, I was up there specifically avoiding em).

Why would you expect them not to? It's just a re-skinned Rikti invasion after all...

Could this be something to do with the fact that they are building 3 new sites for EU and with the development time going into that then the current site may have been a tadge neglected of late?

Oodja Nikabolokov - Lvl 50 SS/WP Brute

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could Chuck Norris?
Are most of the updates that appear on the EU site a rehash of what's going on the US site (except specific EU event messages, like the race tomorrow)?
Surely if we are blaming staff cut backs causing a lack of creative content, then that needs to apply to the US?
Well.. current roleplay section already started on an explenation... Read the Harbinger plot lines there 
- The Italian Job: The Godfather Returns #1151
Beginner - Encounter a renewed age for the Mook and the Family when Emile Marcone escapes from the Zig!
- Along Came a... Bug!? #528482
Average - A new race of aliens arrives on Earth. And Vanguard has you investigate them!
- The Court of the Blood Countess: The Rise of the Blood Countess #3805
Advanced - Go back in time and witness the birth of a vampire. Follow her to key moments in her life in order to stop her! A story of intrigue, drama and horror! Blood & Violence... not recommend to solo!

But they've still got time to do news updates - there have been several in the past few days. So why is there no post about the 'true' reason behind Zombies invading?

I would assume it has to do with the writers at NCNC being hard at work on other things (such as new missions, arcs etc).
So 'just be happy you're getting some new content soon and stop asking'?

They were so busy finishing off the Cimororororia arcs they couldn't spend a little time writing some fluff for the scheduled Halloween event for the website and front-screen?
I guess that we will all have to use our imaginations. Was there ever any fluff about vampires, witches and warewolves bursting out of doors in paragon city ever october? If so I must have missed that one.

A Wizard who spawns Zombies that drop Tech Enhancements?
Wait, if Nemesis a prince, and there's Arthur in the story who is like a prince and a wizard called Merlin who helps him, surely that means that Nemesis is Arthur and he took a Nemesis Staff out of the stone, therefore making him KING Nemesis?
This is too confusing

I would think so - with every other toon punching a hole in time just to have a short cut to Talos something has got to give.
And then there are the guys from the Portal Corps constantly punching holes between dimensions just to allow heroes to go kick some Praetorian butt.
AND there is a dimension full of Werewolves, so why not a dimension full of Zombies? So if the fabric of the multi-universe is falling to pieces (and I'm pretty sure I have saved it once already!) then it could well be that the Zombie dimension is overlapping ours.
However this explanation does rely on the whole idea that it is highly coincidental that the dimension that is overlapping ours is a Zombie one and that it seemed to happen around Halloween.
