I love the Ralph quotes that come up :P And I couldnt believe I picked one of Ruriks (the "As a boy I spent much time in these lands" quote).

Managed to get 1 rabbit after 100 or so fortunes, then got another one about 5 fortunes later. Still have 250 more fortunes to go

Across our family's three accounts and 14 characters, all quests

150 x 14 /3 = 700 Lunar Fortunes = 1 rabbit!!!

I knew my luck had run out

567 fortunes and 3 rabbits. Not too bad, but after selling 2 of the rabbits I realised that its way more profitable to sell the tokens directly. Did that with 3 more token stacks.

Funny how most of the forum posters are either the ones who get 5 rabbits in 30 fortunes, or nothing in 1000 fortunes.

Methinks this is evidence that Guru is indeed a population of outliers. or outright liars. hard to determine which.

Or it could be that people who do really well, or really badly are more likely to post than those who do about average.

2 stacks of fortunes so far, one rabbit from each.

Never did get a rabbit, despite a couple hundred fortunes. On the plus side of my first Canthan New Year, I tried rollerbeetle racing and enjoyed it, coming in third at best; and the lion mask isn't bad.

Does the lunar fortune giver go at the end of the event or a few days later?

Must be some unlucky people out there, all missions x 14 and I ended up with 8 rabbits.
That seems abnormally high compared to what others are saying.

I would like to thank the groups who hosted some districts esp the SOF and friends who hosted one district all day.

Why are you saying 'we'? Are you talking about you and your invisible friend?

I got just short of 3 stacks of tokens from my red bags and the resulting fortunes gave me 2 more rabbits. A total of 3 while having done the PvE quests on only one character, not bad at all.

10 toons thru all the quests, about 450 fortunes, no bunnies. Guildie did 9 toons thru, no bunnies. This was the worst year. Every year before this one, we've always gotten multiple pets off that amount. So not happy with you this year Anet! Grrrr.

I think the drop system in gw works on the total number of items in existence, rather than on an individual basis. There are always more items created in the beginning then the odds of getting further drop dramatically.

Woaw it was quite instant on removing people from 9 rings though, as soon as my clock hit 20:00!
then i like how they displayed a message saying the decorations would be gone in 10 minutes, i cannot remember if this was a feature in other events.

Shame my pc logged me out while i was at university today...missed a good 10 hours i recon of title stuff

I ended up doing all of the token quests on one toon and two of them on a second toon. ended up with around 200 tokens. Traded them in for fortunes, which netted me a celestial rabbit so I stopped. I only need one gold mini for HoM. I could use an extra 50-60k but I don't care enough to waste the time farming tokens.

I got a Bunny after only opening only 40-50 fortunes. I gained 209,339 lucky and 13,222 unlucky points while AFK. (And it only cost me 150K. - hee hee!)

That really sucks! However, the birthday bash isn't too far off in the future! I got booted one time overnight and didn't think I'd make it but ended up making it to 2.5 million with only about 10 minutes to spare.

I got 9 bunnies out of opening +/- 750 fortunes (?!). I apologize to anyone that didn't get one, I might have messed up the droprate a little bit

In all the Canthan New Years this is the first year I actually got a mini from one of the fortunes. I had to open 400 of them to get 1, but I'm happy.

I nabbed 6 bunnies between 300-350 fortunes, not a bad year considering last year out of like 800 I received 0.
