The Easter Bunny seems to have been around forever. Or has he? What makes him seem immortal? This Easter, calamity has once again befallen his factory, and he needs your help to solve the problem. As well as giving you the chance to fix some impressive machinery, and deal with some colourful (but less than helpful) characters, Splitting Heirs will also give our free players a taste of what it’s like to catch implings.

This event revisits the past, so if you’ve played previous Easter events you’ll recognise the incubator from 2008 and the Easter Bird from 2006. Find out what makes the Easter Bunny tick, and you could also earn yourself a new fun weapon. So what are you waiting for? Go seek out the Easter Bunny!

The layout of the welcome screen has been changed slightly to allow us to add further information to it in the future.

Pyre logs now have a ‘Make-X’, and code for this has been significantly reworked. Also, any bonus experience gains from the All Fired Up quest rewards should now properly apply.

The April Fools’ cabbages have now been removed from the game, and seagulls have been removed from the Hunter skill.

The speed at which your prayers activate should now be back to normal, without the delay some players have been experiencing.

Wasn't really a fun event and poor reward as usual. The emote is ok, not too bad. So 2/5 overall.

the event was okay kinda boring
but my fav part is when u told the squirrel how much money you had in your bank

Doesn't even look like a carrot tbh

I like the emote. The carrot is 'kinda' cool.

The actual event was pretty boring tbh. Although the easter bunny in a bunny suit was funny.

The event was kinda boring, but it wasn't short which was good. I like the Carrot Rocket weapon. It's fun Whacking People. The Emote isn't that good. And the Easter Bunny and his son look kinda creepy. And at the end when The Easter Bunny took off his suite, first thing that came to my mind was ...

" Bugz Bunny "
3/5

The event was fun but it was annoying how the easter bunny Jr. kept moving around, as if to make the quest longer. The carrot is pretty bad, just a repeat of the 2004(?) rubber chicken but I liked the emote which partly made up for it.

2/5. The only reason I did this was so I wouldn't regret NOT doing it in the future when I can't get the emote... Not that I really expected something out of a holiday event.

Rynne528 · **Posted:** April 13th, 2009, 3:23 pm

The Easter event was ok. The emote is cool and the carrot was ok. 3/5

dafin0 · **Posted:** April 15th, 2009, 9:30 pm

I havent even done the event at all. And i probably wont be either.
And when has jagex made "any" good rewards??. Unless u ge a lvl 3 clue scroll (P2P only), all other rewards (except money) are uselsess.

cheers, dafin0 :lol:

I like the recent theme of the egg factory, but the reward is blasê for the amount of time put into it (and the sometimes-difficulty).

Chris4Life · **Posted:** April 19th, 2009, 5:20 pm

I voted a 4 because i liked how u could get last years emote

sirvetteal0t · **Posted:** April 21st, 2009, 8:55 pm

3/5 it wasn't as bad as some years, but some years were better.
