Hippity Hoppity, hardy heroes and heroettes!
Word has reached us recently that the realm may realize a recurrence of rabbity rebellion this weekend. A plague of little rabbits has been spotted in the distance; their first scouts are expected soon after Armageddon finishes shouting about the end of the world.
In order to avert the dark times that surely await if we allow these creatures to spread unchecked, a prize, never seen before in the mortal realm, will be awarded to the player who kills the most little rabbits that form part of this invasion.*
Rabbit hunt rankings will be shouted periodically throughout the event.
Easter reboot begins this Saturday 4 April at roughly 1pm UTC, which translates to 9am Eastern US time (with Daylight Saving). The hunting will conclude at the end of the reboot, 49ish hours later.
You can also expect some Easter Egg hunts this weekend.
*Rabbits which already inhabit our world regularly do not contribute towards hunt standings.

A total of 38 players (and 3 rather territorial NPCs) participated in the rabbit hunt. Among the former group, two hunters soon separated themselves the rest, vying with each other for top place while maintaining a huge lead ahead of the others. Third place changed hands many times, inspiring such lust for rabbit blood that at least one hobbit was mistakenly killed for having too many letters in common.
Ultimately, the top position was claimed and held by Pudge, who will be bestowed with the promised Fabulous Prize after he catches up on sleeping, eating, and all those other less important activities rightly set aside in order to fulfill his destiny.
The top NPC was Student, at whose hand 66 rabbits died with a confused look on their faces.
And then, with only 5 minutes before Armageddon brought an end to the hunt, while 294 invader rabbits still plagued the land: On Moonset 14, 645 Stome [20] was killed by a little rabbit.
Final ranking and kill counts:
1 - Pudge, 2453 2 - Levek, 2021 3 - Lavalamp, 572 4 - Balthamal, 563 5 - Moab, 464 6 - Yamm, 370 7 - Pewdie, 241 8 - Winter, 204 9 - Spoo, 163 10 - Garacaius, 149 11 - Otter, 107 12 - Holiday, 47 13 - Brick, 41 14 - Josaphine, 36 15 - Oark, 30 16 - Roserazer, 26 17 - Ashenshugar, 10 - Puma, 10 18 - Piggy, 6 19 - Everything, 5 - Gossamer, 5 - Mannec, 5 - Shazam, 5 20 - Kylie, 4 - Zaragoza, 4 21 - Alzarr, 3 22 - Hektor, 2 - Pandora, 2 23 - Angharad, 1 - Dahlia, 1 - Gormok, 1 - Keeley, 1 - Keldorn, 1 - Murbol, 1 - Pennantia, 1 - Visa, 1 - Vordax, 1 - Xaedra, 1
NPCs 1 - Student, 66 2 - Lizard guard, 9 3 - Lizard mage, 4
I know I'll sleep much better tonight knowing there are 2834894328923489 fewer rabbits and/or hobbits in the world!
Luthien, Minister of Rabbit Relations

Brace yourselves, brave adventurers!
That distant sound you hear is not a tiny thunderstorm, but the storm of a thousand tiny rabbit feet, hopping our way!
Yes, it is time once again for the Rabbit Hunt, lest the fluffy little creatures multiply unchecked and cover all of Oerthe with their vicious floppy ears and twitchy little noses.
Lock up your swords! Sharpen your carrots! Wait. I think I meant that the other way around... anyway...
The hunt begins this weekend!
There is a Fabulous Prize[1] for the player who kills the most little rabbits that form part of the invasion![2]
Easter reboot begins this Saturday 26 March at roughly 8pm UTC, which translates to 2pm Eastern US time (with Daylight Saving). The hunting will conclude at the end of the reboot, 49ish hours later.
You can also expect some Easter Egg hunts this weekend. The eggs are their own prize. Eat and enjoy!
[1] Identical to last year's Rabbit Hunt Fabulous Prize (a pillow fort design document)
[2] Rabbits which already inhabit our world regularly do not contribute towards hunt standings. Hobbits also do not contribute; furthermore, as we realize they have a dangerous number of letters in common with rabbits, all hobbits are advised to avoid hopping, nibbling grass, and scampering about during this time lest they be mistaken for part of the hunt.

38 players and 5 NPCs participated in this year's rabbit hunt, helping stave off the fluffy horde. In spite of the many rabbits slain during those long 49 hours, 191 were still on the loose when Armageddon cleaned up the world.
And sadly, the vile creatures managed to murder two of our own during the last day of the hunt. Chreadus the novice magician was the first victim of the vicious lepus. He was followed hours later by Stome, who apparently did not learn his lesson from last year (when he was the sole rabbit-induced fatality).
Final ranking and kill counts:
1 - Levek, 2016 2 - Calvin, 1011 3 - Juanka, 350 4 - Dudemeister, 326 5 - Groot, 308 6 - Zorb, 155 7 - Shadap, 153 8 - Spoo, 117 9 - Neff, 114 10 - Flowerchild, 93 11 - Qz, 67 12 - Otter, 56 13 - Fact, 24 14 - Rangerman, 12 15 - Tanner, 10 16 - Druenarrii, 7 17 - Treesmall, 4 Owitzer, 4 18 - Atomik, 3 Dringol, 3 Geko, 3 Karlson, 3 Sammaal, 3 Variant, 3 19 - Narbondel, 2 Punk, 2 Raederle, 2 Tamnar, 2 Zirien, 2 20 - Aladar, 1 Guffaw, 1 Jeauxpaux, 1 Krynna, 1 Meiltan, 1 Sixclaw, 1 Spelly, 1 Vloki, 1 Wern, 1
NPCs 1 - Student, 5 (down from an impressive 66 last year) 2 - Lizard mage, 2 Lizard sergeant, 2 3- Lizard guard, 1 Snow wolf, 1
Thanks to all who participated and those who cheered them on, and congratulations to Levek, this year's winner!
