The new school year is in full swing along and all the “fun” that comes with it - delicious cafeteria food, pop quizzes, and hours of homework. So now’s the time to take a break from the books and relax. It’s time for homecoming in Fiesta!

To celebrate, the GMs will be throwing a homecoming dance on October 10th and 11th, and have released some stylish new costumes to the Fiesta Store. The Sakura Costume and Royal Fiesta Costume aren’t just perfect for making a great first impression or burning up the dance floor - they also boost your critical bonus rate and are ideal for slaying the monsters of Isya too.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a homecoming dance without a homecoming king and queen. Players can now nominate potential homecoming royalty in the Fiesta forums, and every winner will receive a special in-game crown on the day of the dance. All nominations must be submitted by October 9th, so vote now!

What got you into playing Project Powder?
I received a promotional email about it and when I checked out the website and the video on the homepage, I was really excited about being able to play it. But I think it was the video which convinced me mostly

Have you ever or would you ever snowboard in real life?
I haven’t ever snowboarded before but I’d really like to be able to try it sometime!

I think I’d have to say that the community is my favorite part of ProPow.

Meet Alagan, Secret of the Solstice’s player of the month for October!

How long have you been playing Secret of the Solstice?
Since the Beginning of Open Beta. Sadly I missed Closed Beta.

What’s your favorite zone and why?
O.o… you mean map? Well that’s an easy one. The South West corner of CV, that’s where I met my in-game wife and real-life love, Fallen Rain.

What’s the nicest thing you have ever done for another Solstice player?
I guess that would be… sacrificing my EXP to level other players. Or the time I let someone else take my place as winner of an event. But it’s nothing.

Meet Lulia, Fiesta’s player of the month for October!

How do you feel about being selected as Player of the Month?
Rather shy about it to be honest, but very happy. I was also quite surprised too, I tend to be a bit quiet so knowing that there are more outgoing players out there makes me feel a little guilty too.

What the best part of Playing Fiesta? Why?
I love the community and the maps. The community is so wonderful, both the good and the bad, and I prefer to see people as misunderstood, so even then I love trying to make them feel better. They’re understanding too and always so fun to play with. I love the maps because there’s so much detail, being an artist I pay a lot of attention to detail.
