Full Moon
We're not currently in a full moon.
The next full moon is from December 13, 2024 at 07:48 UTC through to December 15, 2024 at 07:48 UTC (UTC)

The Full Moon restriction was introduced with the 2011 Very Scary Halloween Special. All previous items that were restricted to Halloween were updated to be equippable during both Halloween events and full moons. The items will be available for use during full moons according to a formula that closely approximates the lunar calendar. During this period, the main menu background becomes Double Cross, and menu class portrait will be wearing their Halloween Costumes.

Formula

A full moon occurs every 29.5 days starting Midday, October 12, 2011. The period lasts for a full day before and after the time calculated, so the very first full moon was one day either side of 12am (Midnight) on November 10, 2011.

All times on this page are in Template:W (UTC).

Bugs

  • Servers must be restarted within the full moon period to allow the full moon restricted items to show in game. Servers that have not been restarted during the full moon will not show the items. Similarly if a server has not been restarted since the end of a full moon then players will still be able to use their items after the full moon has ended.
