Easter 2011

The 2011 Easter Event began on Sunday April 11, with the release of two new features, the Easter Egg Field and randomly appearing floating eggs. While they used the same graphics, the two activities are not related. The Advent Calendar was stocked with Easter chocolates beginning on April 19th. The Easter 2011 event is set to end at midnight, May 1st.

Egg Field
The Egg Field is populated with mystery eggs in one of ten different colors. Inside each one is either a pet, or an item of Rarity 30 or higher plus a minimum of 1,000 BP. An optional message could also be included with the egg. The staff contributed many highly sought after items such as Breeding Pendants, Tsunami Potions, Breeding Coins and custom creation items as well as the Easter pets for players to find. Originally players had to wait thirty minutes before picking up another egg, but this was quickly changed to ten minutes. An egg must be left behind in order for a player to pick up a new egg.

Easter Egg Hunt
On page load once every 30 to 60 minutes, a randomly floating egg bouncing around the screen would appear, in one of the ten colors. Successfully clicking on the egg would add it to the player's collection, which could be traded in for actual Easter Egg items. The collectible eggs themselves were not items but only represented as a count on the Easter Egg Hunt page. Each trade-in required four eggs of a a specific combination.

Easter Advent Calendar
Beginning on April 19th, the Advent Calendar gave out a chocolate Food item and BP to each player who collected on that day.

Reception
The floating eggs posed a problem with automatically redirecting pages, such as the ones that load after posting a message to the Forums, dumping items at the Trash Dump, and buying items from any of the official Shops. Because the floating eggs only lasted for one page view, the auto-redirect would almost always cause the player to be unable to click the floating egg before the page changed, losing the egg. The random nature of the egg's movements also could cause the player to miss and end up loading another page while they were trying to collect the egg.
