Hiya Everybody!

On Saturday, April 8, The Boat Crew of LA Int 1 will be hosting a massive Easter Egg Hunt. "But there are no eggs in Guild Wars. How can we look for something that doesn't exist?", you might be thinking. Simple. The members of The Boat Crew will be acting as the Easter Eggs.

Here's how it'll work:
Starting at 10:00 pm GMT on April 8, Boat Crew members will start hiding in different outposts all over Tyria.

The Objective of this Hunt is simple. Find the members of [boat]. When you find a member you will be given an item customized by that member. At the end of the Hunt (11:00pm GMT) everyone who has collected an item customized by every hidden member of [boat] will meet in Lion's Arch International District 1 to trade in those items for their prize.

(The number of participating [boat] members will be given in a few days so you know how many of us to look for.)

To sum it up: April 8, 10:00pm GMT, Boat Crew members in outposts all over Tyria, find all the [boat] members, meet in LA Int 1 and get a prize.

Good luck and happy hunting!

He Who Mends,
Member of The Boat Crew [boat]

I'm not sure how many outposts we'll be in. Probably quite a few. It depends on the amount of members that participate.

I'm fine with all outposts, but can it be limited to like districts 1-3 of each town, or something similar?

I believe we will be hidden in the international districts primarily, but you never know. Afterall, there needs to be some challenge if we're going to be giving out a bunch of free stuff!

Hey, God of Metal, mind if I help out with the giving away free loot stuff. I have some stuff I don't want and the merchant isn't pleasing to me anymore. TY.

This idea is a lot of fun. I've done it before with some guildies but never under the pretext of an easter egg hunt. Hehe, I'll keep my eyes peeled.

BIG SUGGESTION

Avoid Drok's Intl Dist 1. As most us know, it has recently been overrun by asian farmers/farm bots, and using Local chat is nigh impossible.

Thanks!

Sounds like a fun time! my guildies and I did something similar - but not nearly as challenging over the Halloween weekend. We had 4 or 5 of us hiding in various places in LA & were giving away Halloween items for anyone who found us and whispered "Trick or Treat" Very few people looked on the boat!

Ok, we've had numerous rule changes lately so I've decided to change this around a bit.

At 9:45pm GMT there will be a meeting in LA Int 1 where I will explain the rules to everyone. The event will start at 10:00pm GMT like stated before. I will remain in LA Int 1 through-out the event to answer any questions you have concerning the rules. At 10:30pm GMT I will start giving out clues to the whereabouts of [boat] members. At the end of the event, 11:00pm GMT, there will be a meeting in LA Int 1 to give out the prizes.

Even if you don't get items from every [boat] member there is still a chance you will get a prize.

Thanks,
Mends

Just thought I'd remind everyone of the giveaway after the FPE.

There will be at least 8 members of The Boat Crew hiding throughout Tyria. I'll post the exact number when I get it.

Nice initiative from the boat crew... Really it's fun and i'll participate for sure.

But you've got to ask yourself: how repetitive can the game be if we're left to play Hide'n'Seek? ArenaNet, consider this kind of things as a sign of PvE's downfall...

It would be too hard to change the time now. I think people have already made plans to get to the event at the time set. Plus I think there will be a pretty good turnout at the current time.

Contrary to my last post:

A slight problem has come up with the Egg Hunt being on Saturday.

If it is possible and no one has any objections it may be moved to Sunday. It would be at the same time and work the exact same way, just a day later.

I'd like to hear everyones thoughts on this. If a lot of people object than it will still be on Saturday I will just not be able to attend.

Nope, the 8th is this coming Saturday, and by the looks of things the giveaway will be on Sunday the 9th at 10:00pm GMT. Hopefully I'll know for sure by later tonight.

any chance of making this a wee bit more flexibles for the noobs that haven't got that far yet? Sounds like a fun event, but since my m8 that I grind with won't be online this weekend I won't have much chance at getting to the starting area so to speak.

The Egg Hunt will be on Sunday rather than Saturday. I just thought I should confirm that.
