Special event effects

Special event effects are extra visual effects which appear throughout the game at certain times of the year. These include frozen waters and snow on islands in Winter, as well as blood-red seas and pirates turning into skellies, zombies, werewolves or ghosts around the time of Halloween. Special event effects are toggled manually by the Ringers.

These effects are enabled by default for new pirates, but can be switched off via the general options tab.
