18 March 2008 - Easter 2008 - For All Players!

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!

God ugly cape, kinda cool emot. Pretty rubbish this year.

Apparently err, 30-50% of the people who were there when I did it with Connor can't enter the hole after giving the eggs, me included.

Too bad the emote is operated from cape, not on the list. I mean, who would throw their skillcapes aside just to do that emote?

I like the Easter update, except the fact that's it's a little crowded. I give it a 4/5.

Kirby · **Posted:** March 18th, 2008, 6:32 pm

This year was probably more horrible than last year. The cape is crap. I have a 99 Woodcutting Cape I can wear. Not a stupid chocatrice cape. I have to give this 1/5. 0 if I had the option.

I'd have to say the opposite. The emote is complete crap while the cape is fairly nice. XD

I think they've missed a bit of shading on the bow too. Seriously, first time I saw the egg I thought someone was being funny and made it in paint or something.

The cape looks ugly..
and the egg doesnt look to great..

i think they could have done better with rewards, the task was kinda cool

The event took too long for a crummy cape that I'll never wear again. If it were a standalone emote, maybe I'd have liked it more..But in general, I think they could have done better. I think Jagex just wants to show what Summoning is like (if you squint hard enough, you can see how they're related) to the f2p'ers to get them to start paying.

2/5

I have to agree with you, the cape works very well with alot of armours.

RSgamer · **Posted:** March 20th, 2008, 6:07 pm

Ugh, Last years event was better.

2/5 because of f2p getting summoning for 2 weeks.

kjthoward · **Posted:** March 21st, 2008, 3:14 pm

I though it was an ok event. but I would have preferred and item and an emote rather than both combined.

Jess · **Posted:** March 22nd, 2008, 3:59 pm

Well, as most of their events, this one isn't that great. The cape is okay I guess, in the view of a non member, because it gives us something new to wear...but it is kinda dorky. I like the emote, it's kewl. Other than that, I am really happy that they made this event somewhat time consuming. Even when I was racing against my brother to get it done, it still took me like 20 mins (That's a huge leap from like 2 seconds with the snowglobe event lol).

3/5 - Pretty Good

Did the 'quest', did the emote, dropped the cape, got on with life.
