April Event


rabbithunt.jpg

It's April, and rabbits and hares are breeding like crazy! Looks like we have a fluffy plague on our hands, and we've heard that they like to carve weird things into Ostrich Eggs with their ever-growing teeth. With this April Event, you mighty lions need to catch as many Fluffballs as possible, and collect those Carved Easter Eggs. There are two areas to unlock - one calls for your Bunny Catching skills, and the other calls for your good heart.

All eggs you collect will be useful to buy fancy stuff for yourself, but... You can donate collected eggs towards public good and see what else you can unlock!

Remember that the April event starts on April 1st at 00:00 am LDTime and ends on April 30th at 11:59 pm LDTime! All currency you have left over will carry onto next year!

Important Changes
We are trialling a new method of opening certain event tiers. Some bars, like the Ostrich Eggs bar, require the personal sacrifice of items which some members are understandably less likely to participate in - yet still want to reap the rewards of having the shop open. This leaves a slightly skewed pressure on the members who try to donate as many eggs as possible.

So for April, we are introducing an additional progress bar which is personal donation. If you reach your personal donation threshold for each tier, you will be granted access to the egg den features when the main event bar opens. If you do not participate and don't donate any eggs, you will not have access to the Egg Den.
Shop opens regardless and is not affected by this.

We are starting with lower numbers to introduce the feature but will gradually increase over later months while you guys get used to it.

What's It About?
- Collect Carved Easter Eggs for currency OR donate them!
- Work together to unlock special areas, where you can use currency at OR enjoy new features!
- Explore to experience the Fluffball encounters!
- Find Lucky Feet to win Explore battles immediately!
- You can see how many Eggs you have on the sidebar!
- The bars unlock tiers in the Bunny Shop as well as three different features in Egg Den!
- Bunny tunnels should let only females play, as males have their EXP reset when retired into.

BAR 1 Fluffballs Caught
Tier 1 - items to buy
Tier 2 - more items to buy
Tier 3 - more items to buy + Bunny Tunnels

BAR 2 Easter Eggs Donated
Tier 0 - Warming up
Tier 1 - Ostrich Chick play
Tier 2 - NCL markings
Tier 3 - Primordial Spring - de-aging/aging main male by 2 years once per lifetime

BAR 3 Personal Donations
Reaching the threshold for each tier will grant you access to the Egg Den when it opens!

2018 Change:
- Lots of new decors!
- New progression bar!
- New event-exclusive NCL markings:
Bone Bottom
Scoria Siamese
Tangor Inverted Brindle
Tangor Marble
Tangor Undercover

Storyline!
In April of 2017, we decided to shed some light on where the Carved Eggs come from, what the fluffball agenda is, and give a story behind the Primordial Spring. The story will be repeated this year with a few new rewards to keep things exciting for the people who already experienced Wenet last year!

Mysterious Wenet has a banner that appears in the EVENT area. She will invite you to a journey that lets you wear a special mask. Wearing it has pros and cons - while wearing it you won't be able to chase bunnies anymore, and might miss out on special hidden result of chasing fluffballs that is extremely rare!

- Questing is entirely optional. This is something we added on top of the usual event stuff - but it does bring you amazing things, including Egg Yolks and Carved Eggs.
- You can take a quest only once a day, but you can finish it any day.
- Wenet's quests are named, unique, and will log in your User Log so you're aware exactly where you're at in the storyline. They also are pretty roleplayish! :D
- Wenet will tell you what to do and wait for you until you're done with the quest.
- As you give her things, you might notice she likes to look pretty for you as you progress!
- Wearing the Wenet Mask is optional and can be turned off and on on Wenet page. It affects exploring event related encounters only. It will enable certain ones and turn off other ones.
- Rewards she gives include among other things Hare Points. You can spend them on her page.
- Once you complete the Storyline, you can go back every day and complete again some of the past quests in a way to get more Hare Points (other rewards are turned off then). Those quests are randomized and will change every rollover. You cannot abandon a quest.
- Estimated maximum Hare Point count for doing every quest every day of April is 85, including the special quest payout.
- Once Primordial Spring unlocks, Wenet will have an extra special quest for you that you can take no matter if you finished the Storyline or not.

The April event starts on April 1st at 00:00 am LDTime. The March event will end on the 31st (today!) at 11:59 pm LDTime. All currency is locked on your account and stored until next year!

@Anubissa A total of 75,000 is needed to open tier 1. One person having to donate 37 is hardly a big ask.

Today's April Fools prank is amazing, I nearly died laughing when I logged on and saw my king. I love it

The sprites of my lions changed. Is that because of the event?

@Coal
I'm back after very long break, I wasn't here last year (and maybe previous too, I don't recall), so maybe things have changed, but last time I played this event I didn't collected too much eggs. Less than 100 for sure and I was quite active. 37x3 is over 100. Clearly I'm afraid I won't be able to collect enough eggs for this and for shopping, unless we can now easily get tons of eggs.

@Anubissa

With the introduction of Wenet and the encounters related to her quest, it is way easier to get the eggs. 37 won't be an issue for you if you are as active as you claim.

@Fox
Lion poses changing is due to it being April Fools! So, no it's not because of the Bunny Hunt event.

While the donation bar is low right now you mention potentially raising it in coming months. Kind of a hard hit on casual players no? Especially those of us that aren't on daily to bother grinding? Hmm. Guess we'll see how this plays out then

Honestly, more people would donate if Egg Yolks would be easier to get. They were already nerfed, so I hope this year its price sinks. People hoard their eggs to get Egg Yolk, this is a widely known fact, especially when last year it even increased in price despite the nerfs, dooming the Spring opening with that move. Once supply gets closer to demand, there will be more donations. Trying to force the community to give up their hard earned currency is the worst approach they could have come up with.

Solution:
A) Up the Carved Egg encounters by a lot...
and/or
B) Make Egg Yolk cheaper...

Because I still aint donating if nothing is done about the issue.

I don't like the idea of the personal bars, mostly because that's not how incentives work. If people are reluctant, you either need to address the source of the reluctance or offer something extra, not gate off something until they do what you want. Instead of Default (for doing nothing) and Reward (for donating), it turns it into Punishment (for doing nothing) and Default (for donating). And that would be fine if it wasn't consumable currency. Let's also not forget this will hurt people who only play casually because of work/life/whatever.

I'm going to donate at least a little because that's just how I do things, but like... that's the exact opposite of how a proper reward system works, guys. The fact that you seem to want to put it into other things is super gross, too.

I really hope you rethink this and actually address the reason people are reluctant instead of just trying to heavy-handedly beat them into giving up stuff.

I personally like the idea of personal progress.
Even tho i think that community effort is a bad idea in general that change makes it somewhat personal

@Nyx Perfectly said! I don't want to be punished because I don't want to give my eggs.
