QUOTE (www.runescape.com)
It seems that the problem-prone Easter Bunny is once again experiencing difficulties. He's spent so much time redecorating his warren that he hasn't noticed critters burrowing in and devouring his entire chocolate stockpile.

Now, devoid of cocoa stocks, the chocolate egg production has ground to a halt and the forecast for Easter celebrations looks bleak. No need to worry, though - the Easter Bunny is an inventive sort, and has come up with an eggs-emplary new idea: use a chocatrice! These fearsome creatures, incubated from a chocolate-coated cockatrice egg, can turn their targets into chocolate with one lethal, chocifying gaze.

It falls to you, then, to create this curious creature. You'll need to track down some of the lost chocolate to make a chocatrice egg and then carefully incubate it. The critters who ate the chocolate supply are sealed in the Easter Bunny's tunnels and will prove a suitable target for your chocatrice.

So, this Easter, you will come to the aid of chocolate lovers everywhere, incubating your own chocatrice, guiding it around the Easter Bunny's tunnels and turning the greedy rats into something altogether more delicious...

Summary
Where to start the Easter Event 2008:

Investigate the rabbit hole, between Falador's southern gate and the Rimmington mine.
Requirements:

None - this update is available to members and F2P!
Access to:

A new emote and Easter item!

In other news...

The music system now has a counter which keeps 'track' of how many songs you've unlocked. You'll have the Air Guitar emote in no time!

Players will now always receive a TzHaar fire cape and 8,000 TokKul after defeating TzTok-Jad. You can keep any extra fire capes you win as spares in case you lose them, or speak to TzHaar-Mej-Jal, master of the Fight Cave, who will purchase spare fire capes from you for 8,000 TokKul a piece.

We're constantly looking at item prices on the Grand Exchange and how they match up with similar items and those that are unfinished versions of other items. Prices for some of these sorts of items have been adjusted following this pattern. For example, an unstrung necklace will more closely follow the price of the strung version.

You might have found in the recently refurbished Edgeville Dungeon that fighting chaos druids was a slow process. The death animation has been reduced so you don't have to spend as much time waiting before picking up your loot!


Oh, and new poll! thumb.gif

Holiday events aren't meant to be 'the best in the world', or even give the best rewards - they are, however, meant to be fun [and sometimes] funny:







I give this a 4.5/10.0 for rewards. I would have preferred an actual emote, instead of having to equip a cape for the emote to work, but I do give the emote itself a 7.5/10.0 for graphics and style. The emote is rather cool. grnwink.gif

As far as the event itself, it was short enough not to be boring, but long enough to give you a little difficulty. I doubt anyone could not complete it, I did notice a few people asking for help but that is normal. It really wasn't difficult at all, but the machine took quite a bit of time to add the right amount of coal/water to it.

As far as the beginning, finding the eggs was really easy and took no time at all. As long as you have a basic understanding of the area, which I believe most do considering its a F2P area, you should be done that part in no time. The "storyline" part was a little predictable though, obviously though it was an holiday event so I wouldn't expect much storyline anyway. I must admit though, I do rather enjoy helping the easter bunny and getting eggs. biglaugh.gif

Anyway, overall I enjoyed the easter event of 2008 and look forward to next year. grnwink.gif

This event was win in code form.

-A mini easter egg hunt
-F2P gets a taste of Summoning
-Some of those insults to the Chocotrice made me lawl irl.
-Emote was well done.
-A mini skillcape for all.
-Hilarity as people wanted to trade/sell their easter eggs for millions. I still have my egg in my secondary account bluetongue.gif

It was cute and good for all levels.
