Happy Easter - Worldwide Event - March 28th to April 4th

Heading out to work but we should definitely get a band of non-taming heroes and slay one of those fluffys for the video section.

I think that the fact that u can walk around with a small house deed in ur back pack until u come across a easter bunny, place the house, trapped the bunny inside the house and ban fluffy, wait to collect the eggs, recall to the next spawn area and do it all over again is a shame. Maybe, if u had to kill the fluffy first to collect the eggs, that would prevent the house trapping.

On another note. You can incite two fluffy on to each other.

Excellent news! Thanks Telamon.

Damn its hard to find these buggers, I don't think I have ever ran more around the entire map and I only found 3 spawns and some random eggs on the floor but no bunnies in many screens.

Still beats farming the same spawn I always do, if not for profit definitely for enjoyment.

Keep up the good work!

My point is that this server has about 80-100 players on at a time. How many active tamers, 10-15? Those players are the ones that have access to certain items from killing Fluffy and the Easter Bunny. With such a small player base, we all should be able to earn/fight for all the rewards. That said, Im glad there are events on this server and I appreciate the work of the UOR staff. My problem is that I don't have the time to make a tamer and its disappointing when the swing of my axe just isn't good enough.

I collected 120 eggs on the first evening with my dexer/tracker.
now a bit bored of looking for them

I think I prefer shorter events...

Re: Happy Easter - Worldwide Event - March 28th to April 5th

Seconded! I knew there was almost no way I could compete soley in this event, 6 days of consistient egg collecting is just far too hard!

Re: Happy Easter - Worldwide Event - March 28th to April 5th

For those of us who have to work...this couldn't be more true! A long(er) event would be nice, but only with a reward system like the Christmas event. X amount of eggs = prize. After the first day of looking at the leaderboard while on my break at work I realized there was no way in Hell i'd be able to catch up lol.

I mean a big congrats to whoever places top 5, and this is in no way meant to be a complaint post, just throwing out some idea for the next one . Thanks to the staff for another fun and interactive event!

Re: Happy Easter - Worldwide Event - March 28th to April 5th

Yeah I think the xmas event was perfect, you aim for a goal without the everlooming threat of someone with 5000 stockpiled coins taking it away from you. If the eggs were redeemable for rewards, and only (X) amount of rewards were able to be given out (Assuming the staff wanted only a limited amount handed out) I think the event would be much more enticing for the shard.

That being said, I do like the idea of a running total-esque type event, but with limited spawns, the bunny waiting mechanic, and a full week of dedication it can get a bit teedius, especially for those with families/work/school.
The only suggestion I can make is that instead of having the running total go over the full week, how about a bracket every 24-48 hours over a period of 6-8 days for a total of 3-4 grand winners. At the end of the event all the winners are allowed to select from a pool of grand prizes - Similar to how the scavanger-births were handed out, with preferance given to those with the most eggs. e.g. Bracket 1 winner collected 100 eggs, Bracket 2 winner collected 200 eggs, Bracket 3 winner collected 150 eggs so the order of selection would be B2 -> B3 -> B1. This way the players that have had 2-3 days free over easter holidays can compete with those that have had a full week to collect eggs, and choose to opt of any later bracket knowing they will still be rewarded for their efforts.

Also, a big congrats to whoever wins this event this is defintely one of the harder ones to win!

I like the feedback going on in the thread. I have all the characters built but love events where I can play my warriors.
Aside from the obvious issue of big monsters requiring tamers in groups, I think a potential option for events like these would be a 1 hour time-slot to 'compete' per day of an event. For example, 7 day event, you get 7 hours of play in the event to score points toward the ultimate goal. In this fashion, even people with full time jobs, kids, etc, can try their best to squeeze one good hour of play in per day of the event and be on an even footing with the 12+ hour a day gamers. To make it so it still requires a daily login, the 1 hour slot must be used in it's relevant 24 hour period, or it expires.
While it won't work well for overworld spawn type events, I think it could give even the gamers with limited time a chance to get the top prize for a change.

I dunno, just getting thoughts out there.

I'm unsure about the current ending date/time for this event... could someone post it? Thanks in advance

Glad to see the reward change. Someone pointed out to me a way that some of the more avid egg hunters could have really worked over the first system but good. It still amazes me the ways that players come up with to beat almost any system.

Do the statues make sounds like the boss statues?

So it is no longer the top 25 players getting items from the first page?
