Hiya everybody!
It's getting close to Easter and I thought I should let everyone know that The Boat Crew alliance will be hosting another Easter Egg Hunt Event this year.
It's going to work similar to last years Egg Hunt, but with a few variations. The hunt itself will be held on Saturday, April 7th at 10:00pm GMT, but I'm going to ask that everyone who wants to participate come to the Great Temple of Balthazar Int 1 at roughly 9:45pm GMT. At this time you'll be told how many "eggs" aka [boat] members you will need to find and any other rule changes that have been made.
Now to explain how it'll work. The Hunt will take place in Tyria, Cantha and Elona. There will be 7 [boat] members hiding in each continent. These [boat] members will be giving out customized items to anyone that finds them. To claim a prize you must return to the Great Temple of Balthazar with all 7 items from one of the continents and give them to one of the designated prize givers (I'll let you know who they are before the start of the event). You can obtain a maximum of 3 prizes by finding all 7 people in each area. For example, if you find everyone hiding in Tyria and Elona you can exchange all of those customized items for 2 prizes. The prize givers will each have a list of the people hiding in each continent to avoid people trying to mix items from two different areas. You may exchange your items at any time after the event begins up until 15 minutes after the Hunt (which will last 1 hour) is over.
If you've got any questions feel free to post here and ask.
I hope to see you all there!

Easter Egg Hunt Event!

I'm in, this sounds like a lot of fun.
Sir Skullcrasher
Cool, I'll be at the event. 
thundercleese_06
so, just to get this right, they will be 7 ppl hiding on every continent somewhere in a town?
The God Of Metal
Right. There will be 7 members of [boat] on each continent hiding in different towns (excluding Realm of Torment, Arenas and Fire Islands). You will need to find all 7 on one continent to claim a prize
FlameoutAlchemist
Frickin' nice. Glad to see that there are people out there willing to do this sort of stuff. Count me in as well.
Realm of Fiery Doom
Awww...My Lord of Fiery Doom only has completed half of Prophecies, so I won't be able to take part in the event. It's still a great idea though; and good luck.
MagicWarrior
Sounds like a fun event. I'll be there... with a friend as well.
Quick question: my friend is only as far as Droknar's Forge. Will he need to get further than that to find the 7 guys in Prophecies?
Thanks for organizing a cool event... and pulling me back into GW1 (at least for one day). Looking forward to it.

I'd say your friend should try to get to Thunderhead Keep just incase someone decides to hide there, but he might be able to find everyone without getting there. I'm not sure to be honest.

Time to look for another friend so we can help each other out.
Or will the 7 guys be constantly moving around? Sounds like that would be even MORE fun and put everyone on even playing field that don't have a lot of friends available that weekend to help each other out! Could also solve the problem of people not getting far enough in the game.
Orphan Anthem
sounds really fun, what kinds of prizes will be handed out?
evil joo
sounds fun, I might come if I get bored of Pve'ing.

The problem with moving is you're right out in the open when you warp to another town, making it really easy to be found.

ARGH!!
I'd join, but it's me and my sister's birthday in RL and my family likes to hold a large party....so I can't really play GW while socializing, can I?
Anyways, good to see people making an effort to man an event, kudos to [boat].

caeleth
can they be in *any* districts? (int/english/spanish/german/french/american?/whatnot...)
Eldin
Luckily Tyria is pretty calm nowadays, most areas having 2 districts at mose, excluding LA and a few others.
Sounds like great fun, good to see people taking holiday events into their own hands, I'll be there. I've discovered a few nooks and crannies in Tyria, and am glad to see people may be making use of them.
I'd like to know the same as Orphan - what kinds of prizes? Money? Equipment? Or perhaps little holiday items with sentimental value that annoy you on the inside when you expect something awesome.

Lyonette
if i can be on in aussie time i'll be there, this sounds awesome
The God Of Metal
There will only be people hiding in the International district 1. It'd be way too hard if we could hide in any district we wanted.
Wilhelm
Hopefuly you guys stay away from Yolohn Haven, and Granite Citadel....bots scare me.

In Aussie time that's Sunday, April 8th 08:00am EST.
That is unless The God Of Metal is observing daylight savings, which would make it 7am for us.
TGOM, is the start time daylight or standard time?
HawkofStorms
YEAH! I did this last year too. Was a fun event and got a Gold Air Wand. It was definately confusing with all the people moving around half way through the event. I can only imagine how it will work now with 3 continents. Hmm...
Hopefully Galie won't log on in LA INT D1 like last year and scare everybody off.
Also, thanks for not going to the arenas again this year, finding that guy hidding in the "cave" in the RA area was tough.

The God Of Metal
To answer question 1: I am taking daylight savings time into consideration.
To answer question 2: I believe 10:00pm GMT is actually 6:00pm EST, but I could be wrong on that.

Great Job...Hopefully I will be on then.
Rockby Quickfoot
If I'm around when this event is, I'll definitely attend! Mescon was loads of fun, so this shouldn't be too bad either Also, will they be in the first International district of each town?
The God Of Metal
Yes, first International district only
Rockby Quickfoot
Fast response >.> I was just about to edit my post cause I found the answer on the first page after I read it through
The God Of Metal
Just wanted to add something I forgot to mention:
The hunt will be on a "first come, first serve" basis. I believe most people hiding will only be filling their inventory and storage for a total of 65 customized items to give out, so hunt fast!

I just wanted to remind everyone that the Easter Egg Hunt is tomorrow at 10:00pm GMT!

any mentioning on what the prizes will be?
The God Of Metal
Important announcement: The event is in 1 hour and 10 minutes in the Zaishen Challenge outpost. NOT Temple of Balthazar. We've relocated due to heavy spam in Temple of Balthazar.
And prizes are anything from minipets to item upgrades to greens to golds.

Patrick Stealthwind

Neo Nugget

LadyNilene

The Last Cruzader
Sounds great I'll go with neo then since he's here too!
bobrath
Great fun, and being able to actually find all 18 was nice, esp when my "grand prize" for the last was a choice between a runic shield and a rune of minor vig! yummy.
I'll be looking forward to next year for sure.

Although I would like to state this here too - TY very much to all the members of the [boat] crew who helped out by organizing this event, and putting it on. It was well worth my time, and I had a lot of fun.
warren_kn
Big thanks to [boat] for organising this. It sure beat farming
The God Of Metal
I just wanted to thank everybody who came out and participated in the hunt. All of the boaties had a ton of fun hiding.
There is one problem though....

To cure this problem we're going to have a giveaway on Monday! All you'll need for a prize is one hat! So don't delete them right away! Watch the forums for more info.
