sace ))) just to be sure, umm after july 6th if we didnt use all scrolls can we still use them between 6-13 and finish up our items? cause i remember i deleted like 60 scrolls on tigers and then u guys announced that we still can finish them up a week after even was kinda over....

I believe that, from July 6-13, you will still be able to use any scrolls you have. They just won't drop. I base this on 1) the info I was given for the event page says only the the scrolls won't drop after July 6, doesn't say anything about scrolls being removed; 2) the fact that the NPC will still sell potions: if there were no scrolls/no rabbits, there'd be no need for her to still sell potions. But, as you said, misunderstandings of this nature have occurred in the past, so I'll be sure to get a clear and definitive answer to you before July 6. :)
They will give 1 more double xp event(or vit),this event seems good,stones,armors/weapons(what means non-pvp weapons?these weapons dont do dmg on pvp?) and jewles looks soo good! :)
Is this the TIGER EVENT revamped? OMG, please, Sace, say it is not so..
She won't .. Just replace tiger with rabbit and some of the rewards and compare to tiger event .. It's the same ..
BTW you did not like the tiger event ? I made my weapon 150, got lots of vit items and net some adena also back then ..
Though I have to admit that it was extremely boring and needed extra gear (toothpick or something heavy on F1) ..
Sace, can you do something beforehand to counter the situation when dozens of (insert_bad_word_here) will spawn hundrends of tigers (oops I meant bunnies) all around ? Something like bunnies despawn if they are not get hit for .. lets say 5 seconds ?
oO .. It was one of the best rewarding events ever .. All had a chance regardless of level / gear and all got useful things with decent rate ..
For a lot of people the rewards weren't worth the time spent.
However, it was good for lowbies and hopefully helped them to find friendly clans.
For a lot of people the rewards weren't worth the time spent.
However, it was good for lowbies and hopefully helped them to find friendly clans.
It was about 5m-10m/hour per person in a good / organized full party summoning big tigers. And the cost was 0. No shots, no TP, no ore for buffs / heals, nothing at all..
Indeed, there were some people that could do more than 10M/hour profit but for general population that kind of GUARANTEED profit was astonishing .. (not counting the vit maintaining potions that saved thousands of shots later by leveling extremely fast)
Everyone could just login, farm in town for 1 hour and get it's 7,5M (average) profit. Main issue for tiger event was the GUARANTEED profit. There was some Korean Random involved but if you played about 2 hours a day during the 15 days period you would get a net profit of at least 200M Adena, GUARANTEED, no strings attached.
Only prerequisite was to shout 1-2 minutes and have some scrolls ..
I think that all got something from that event ..
Some people got adena selling rewards they did not need
Some other people bought needed items really cheap (mainly stones / crystals)
Some other people got the vitality potions they needed to level faster
Some other people got new friends / clans
Some other people farmed event for needed stones (which they would not get any other way except market)
etc, etc
The only bad about that event was that it was extremely boring to farm it ..
But I guess we can't have it all ..
This event was great for everyone even the lower players and I had a lot of fun with it. But the rewards now are a bit crappy and I am sure I will get loads of Lifestones, Brez, Bsoe and QHP. In my opinion these could have been replaces with a 10 min vit maintain pot and milks. Also the bunny earring is missing stun resist and the ring is missing crit damage. Also i would rather trade them in for BEAS, BEWS or the necklace then the lifestones.
Apart from the some of the loot mistakes i will sure play it!
I'm not gonna lie, I ******* HATED the tiger event lol. I do appreciate that they put on events, and I realize it's often different strokes for different folks, but I just find the whole "summon/pot" thing painfully boring. I'll probably still try it out just because I could use the mastery books, but I wish they had picked some other event.
TY for an event but I believe most would prefer an event that nets them XP as wells potential items....u do remember that GoD will be here soon, right? Don't see how people (not me) are gonna xp for 2 weeks when they in town popping rabbits..for ele stones?
At least make them crystals.....
I will just express my opinion, but the last "event" was the double xp weeks, with vitality refill and GM Buffs.
What did 85 100% Players get from this event ? Nothing, except x2 adena may be
It's time to do an event which will help everyone now :)
You believe that with the state of the L2 economy people can still make money from this event? Selling what to who? 2 weeks of getting gold apigas endlessly clicking to sell them to who? Perhaps I should re read the rewards list? Did I miss something that can be sold for something? I did not see any vit items that people need to get to 85 (not me).
After reading rewards I suppose the Bunny Earrings, Ring, can and will be sold to players that are already pretty rich. Will people pay for the apigas for the chance at the 30 day reward items? Guess we will see....

Apigas and Golden Apigas are not tradable. :p so only rewards can be sold to npc or players
and for event? nice, better than nothing for some scraps of adena and lowering price of element stones :P sad for new players and those who are out of vitality items who wants to xp...

Well, if you still need to OE skills or element something, then yea it's a money making event, at least in the sense that you can save your own adena for something other that KE, Masteries, and stones. Btw, the jewelry is shadow, so I highly doubt it can be traded/sold.
To the people constantly begging for vit items, just go level ffs lol. It's never been easier to lvl, even without vit items, and you'll have another 2x xp event soon.
Btw, the jewelry is shadow, so I highly doubt it can be traded/sold.
It's like Eva's Runes. The items are shadow and non-tradable. The boxes are permanent and can be sold.
I say the next event... reimplement the random spawning of Santa which would give you a present and then leave .. but instead of santa, make it a mini raid boss that's tuned for either one person or if there is a party, make it equally difficult for the party, killing it is spits out tons of event items like the several year old event.
Full out Element crystals (no stones), Blessed enchants, Brez (NOT BSOEs please), various weapon and armor enchants (all s grade would be dandy) relatively low chance of a S ~> s84 weapon/armor/jewels, exceptionally rare epic jewel, all of which will be the "greater" or "blessed" versions, higher chance for normal ones however.
Is this the TIGER EVENT revamped? OMG, please, Sace, say it is not so..
I can't deny their utter similarity (scrolls, groups to take down the large rabbits, the occasional pig appearance). A lot of those elements are similar to all events we have, not just the tiger event. But whatever the premise of the event is, the good news is that the rewards are better than with the Tiger event in a monetary sense (no more face/hair potions, yay!).
Event page doesnt say it but, can you also buy unlimited potions like in the Tiger event?
Looks that way. I was able to buy over 800 potions in 10 seconds on QA.
If the boxes are tradable, are the items inside the box also tradable? Or is it like the Hero Chest, tradable until opened?
All of the boxes are tradable. All of the contents inside the boxes are tradable except for Angry Bunny Ring, Earring, and Necklace (they have an expiration, those kinds of items are never tradable).
Are you still able to use them on siege field? :rolleyes:
I need to send that question to QA for testing, will answer later.
At least make them crystals.....
Nice to see an event coming but would be more usefull if they give element crystals as reward instead of element stones.
There are crystals, too. 'Apigas' can give an Attribute Stone Box. 'Golden Apigas' can give an Attribute Crystal Box.

To this question and all the other comments regarding us having this event vs. another event vs. a double XP event:
We're having another double XP event after the Rabbit Rampage event is over. (more details as we get closer to that time)
After a double XP event, players often ask for a 'money' event to help keep the balance between leveling up and buying new gear/items for leveling. Rabbit Rampage is a 'money' event.
Can you really make a lot of money from this event? many players ask. Some players have made a lot of money on it, and others have not. In the end, its a matter of how much effort each player puts into participation during the event, and of what they decide to do with the rewards: some players take the chance and open the boxes, others will sell the boxes and let others take the chance-- it's a personal preference. Players can also sell the scrolls and the potions (improved potions, no point in selling the regular ones), which may become more valuable in the 2nd week.
In line with the above, it's true that players would have to decide between XP'ing or playing the event. Players need both, and deciding which one to work on is a choice that players have to make constantly, regardless of any event. By having a money event and multiple double XP events, we are merely amplifying that choice, but no one is forced to do either.
Overall, I believe this event will be helpful to whomever participates. And, although I admit we're getting a bit tired of summoning scrolls, heart-shaped animations, pig appearances and angry/large/diseased/sedated/whatever animals, events in themselves are still fun and help break up the regular routine. :) That's just my opinion with some trying-to-make-players-happy-about-this sprinkled on top.
Bunneh accessory boxes are tradable, just the items are not?
So with that, you can still trade until the accessory boxes are removed from game. Shadow items only start disappear after their first wearing yes? Or after the box is opened? If after the first wearing there could still be a market for the boxes, as the accessories could hang out in a warehouse indefinitely until that first wearing starts the clock.
Thank you for this event. Over the July 4th weekend too. An extra day away from work to sleep some more bunnehs. Tigers was the only way I could afford half the gear I use now-a-days.
Bunneh accessory boxes are tradable, just the items are not?
Correct.

After the box is opened.
If after the first wearing there could still be a market for the boxes, as the accessories could hang out in a warehouse indefinitely until that first wearing starts the clock.
No, the timer starts as soon as you open the box, whether you equip the item or not.
Remember, the jewelry boxes will be removed when the event ends on July 13, so players will need to open the boxes before then. We'll remind you about this again before it happens.
July 6-13: Confirmed that scrolls will no longer drop, but any scrolls you have in your inventory will still be there and you can use them. All scrolls will be removed when event ends on July 13.
Unfortunately, rabbits can be summoned on a siege field. Better bring your pacifier potions.
Confirmed the NPC sells unlimited potions during both weeks. (She only sells the regular potion, not the improved.)
From what I know from the old event there will be tons of stones and crystals. Now its the time to element yourself up, but I would save for R grade.
Rewards have been ramped up, now we have crystals. Made 1.5 bn last event, even more, this time will just gather the element stones and crystals.
I do regret the lack of vita items but i still have from last time the last 50 or so 10 min pots, used the other 200 so far. In God that wont be allowed anymore, so why would they give others ?

The ability to make money from this event takes one thing only and that is "TIME" and not much effort; how much effort is required to put a match stick on my F1 key? This is not an event; it is a request for people to play non stop for as long as they can to try and sell **** to people that cannot be on 24/7.....
Again, this is an event that will "help" if that is the right word, 24/7 peeps....to say that people "earn" adena from their effort in this event is ridiculous. If anything this is the type of event that begs for botting to occur.....my 2 cents..
Where is the Magical Research Institute, and why is their security so lax?
The Magical Research Institute is in the Ivory Tower (in Asia the previous Zaken pigs and rats also came from there). I guess the lax security has something to do with the various factions among the Ivory Tower wizards. If I remember correctly it is about whether to use or not to use the magical minerals that came with the meteor which created the crater.
Maybe one faction secretly releasing the experimental specimens of another faction?
I liked the tiger event, everyone gathering in town to kill - no put to sleep - tigers without discrimination of race and class, all together for a brighter future and peace all over the world. Easy money just by partaking to pick up groups in town. But I don't understand how holding one key would do.
And thank you Sace for the humouristic tone! It was funny to translate. :)
Looks like a fun event to make some Adena, get some crystals.
Last event was able to get some funds (sorta "start-up" funds) to work the market a bit and get some wind crystals. Was only 1 for 5 tho - rotten luck.
Looking forward to this one to get some cheap crystals, and save up some wares to work ...what's left of....the market a bit. Sometimes it's like trying to get water from a stone, compared to what it used to be like.
This even will definitely help - and I even get a day off, and the weekend (worked 3 or the last 4 weekends). Good timing!
It will be fun to see if everyone that is about to sleep rabbits for 2 straight weeks are all going to try and make money from the event at the same time. Can anyone say "water crystals for 500 k"? Here's hoping....
Are the bunny ears tradeable via the dimensional Merchant?
No, they are not tradable via Dimensional Merchant.
Armor Box: A box containing a sealed Vorpal, Vesper, Moirai or Dynasty armor piece. Tradable.
That mean all is just piece? or only to dyn armor?
All pieces for all 4 of those armor sets. For example, depending on the name of the armor box, you might get a Vesper Breastplate, or Moirai Sigil, or Dynasty Leather Boots, or Vorpal Tunic, etc...
Weapon Box: A box containing a non-PvP Vesper, Icarus, Dynasty, or S84 high-grade weapon. Tradable.
What mean this? "or S84 high-grade weapon" elegia weap or what?
Those are weapons that came in the Freya update. The list is here (http://www.lineage2.com/news/freya_09.html). The Weapon Box will give you only weapons from the S84 High Grade list, not the S84 Highest Grade list.
I have to ask; any chance the number of S gems reward could be boosted a little from 2 to 3 or 4? Its so difficult to save up hundreds of the things for SA's! :(
Like Anniversary Letters Event, this event item drop rate go down if mobs dead with aoe skill?
I'm afraid I don't know. Some players tried different approaches in the Anniversary Letters Event, perhaps you can find the optimal approach in that thread.
I have to ask; any chance the number of S gems reward could be boosted a little from 2 to 3 or 4? Its so difficult to save up hundreds of the things for SA's! :(
I'm afraid not. :( This is the amount that all players around the world get from this event, so I believe the event designers felt it was an adequate amount that wouldn't flood the market.
I'm afraid I have some bad news. :( We have to postpone the Rabbit Rampage event.
The reason is that we've been having some really strange issues with one of the event files (a crucial one), and although we've spent the last week+ trading emails with the dev team and trying different fixes, none of us have been able to find a fix for it yet. Therefore we have to postpone the event until further notice (until a fix is found and we re-schedule the event times). The event will still happen, just not right now.
I'm working on changing the dates we've posted for the event.
Now, for the good news: we have a few new abilities that allow us to let players get GM-buff-like rewards from certain NPCs! :D Tomorrow, we will be implementing these new Reward NPCs as compensation for this event snafu.
More good news: we will have our next Double XP (and other good stuff too) event sooner. (As mentioned before, it was originally planned to happen right after the Rabbit Rampage event.)
Tomorrow I will also post more information about the Reward NPCs and what they do/give/how they work. (Currently I'm at home, having just gotten an emergency phone call about the event not being fixed in time.) I will also post more information about the next Double XP event. A couple of important notes about the Reward NPCs before I can post the full details, they will only be around for a limited time and I'm not sure of the dates but it will be at least the next few days. Again, I'll post more about this as soon as I can tomorrow.
I hope this mix of good news and bad does not dampen any spirits, and I'm sure you will like the Reward NPCs. :o Stay tuned for more info tomorrow!
It sucks that there's a flawed file, but I'm glad you (that'd be the royal You, as NCWest) have figured out how to work the GM-buff NPCs. Also glad to hear about the Double XP week, and looking forward to more details on the event.

And It's kinda sad, but I love the transparency :)
my questions is why?
We already had this same event in the past (http://www.lineage2.com/archive/2010/10/white_tiger_eve.html) only difference was that we had it with tigers instead of rabbits so why is this one so different, I mean the only thing that I see changing are the rewards a little bit and the texture of the npcs since they have the exact same skills as the tigers

When it comes to Programming and Developing, people (that don't do it or didn't had contact with complex development before) tend to say it is simple just because things look like another things that had already been done...
I'm a developer (not a game one tho but still) and I can think in some points that would be different... Can't say it exactly, since I don't know how this game is made but there are things that may be complicaded even if this event looks like the same tiger one...
I'm glad you guys caught the bug early and postpone it instead of letting it go live. I still remember a event where you could summon some sort of ghost which you had to beat which gave a debuff to all surrounding players. I think it was the Eva's Inferno Event (http://www.lineage2.com/archive/2009/08/mystery_event.html). Somehow summoning the ghost in town or around a large group of people made everyone crash, it had loads of bugs on it making it horrible.
About all the people asking about droprates. My guess its simply a korean random thing... Sometimes you are lucky and get loads and sometimes you get a lot less. Even if the items would drop more on a specific time, the server would prolly do it to regulate the total amount of event items being given. Besides would you really adjust your huntingtime on a few drops more or less, with the drops not even being worth much.

Did you magic this response out of some dark hole? No offense Attamo, but we don't need your "guess" because we already know. It's not rocket science that you get 2-3 letter drops per hour before 6pm est and then MAGICALLY start getting 1 per minute between 6pm and midnight. There's no drop balancing or fair distribution or anything else.
And yes, I would adjust my hunting time. If I'm going to hunt for an hour at 5 and make 1m adena with the choice of hunting at 6 instead and making 10m adena, guess what!
Hello,
In the last event the drop rate was really different between euro and usa timezone. As usual at USA peak hours the event drops where much more. Specially those rare letters II and S. This is a fact and it is not disputable, verified by many eurozone time players who alegate the same.
I just hope this next event will not include this discrimination.
Wasn't here in past events but I guess having the same team manage both NA and EU servers just don't work... For those players, we need a EU community and game team...
Then all should work and maybe more EU player would come...
Since I'm Brazilian I picked the server closer to me but if somehow Naia become a better place than Chronos to play I would reroll my chars there....

I'm completely geeking out over the gm buffs from NPC's, but I have to ask you guys to not include the 59m Chant of Victory in these buffs or DC's won't get leveled at all when they're out.

Actually, PP's aren't lvling nowadays just because of better buffers, so...

Ah, NO? Ah, **** off? Kri kri for poor WC, but the rest of us want +15 cov for an hour.
I'm still gathering info on the NPCs I mentioned. As we're bringing them earlier than expected (because of the event postponement) I have to scramble to get all the info collected and write a new thread about it. I hope to have that done and posted within a few hours (the office isn't actually open yet and I need to talk to people first).
A couple things I can tell you so far:
Please note that they are GM-like-buffs, not straight up GM buffs from a NPC. GM buffs are still the best and they are reserved for GM presence only. Rest assured that the stuff these NPCs give is good too, and in some ways more convenient. :)
I believe the NPCs won't be in-game directly after the maintenance, but they will arrive today and there is not server downtime required for them to be added. The NPCs are not permanent additions to the gameworld-- we'll mainly be bringing them in for occasions like this or some other events. I don't have the exact dates of their visit this time around yet, but I'm sure everyone will have plenty of time to get what they need from them.

sounds nice but do we get vit from this npc aswell?
i mean many of us prolly have boxed buffer behind us and the gm buffs are not big deal to have, and only want the vit :P

Hoping on the Giving part... Hopefully, we won't have to pay for it, now would we Sace?
Also, having Vit with them would be nice, and for that I would pay ingame... But if we don't have, nvm, I will be cool with buffs and stuff :D
I'm hoping they'll be there for the day at least, so us non-US/Euro players can also take advantage. <3 I'm curious about these NPCs, to say the least.
But yeah, it's a good thing the bug was caught before event went live.

Haha you're funny. My guess is pure speculation from what I would find logical and from what i experienced. I have exped on the same times and sometimes simply getting less then other times. If you feel that your "guess" (yes what you are saying sure is guessing untill proven and tested for several days at same times) is the correct one, I urge you to do as you like. But don't suggest i'm a ******* simply because you are so narrow minded that you believe in hearsay from superstitious people...... Maybe i'll get more drops if i wear my lucky underwear!

Good news, Sace...
If I can bother you for one more thing...
Can we get the event informer back for a little while. I'd love to do that 79 quest again on my new character :)

I am also a developer (and also not gaes), and you are correct - just because it LOOKS the same, doesn't mean it IS the same...
As for the delayed event, I think that is a positive move on NCSoft's part, I would rather have a delayed release, than a bugged one.
I'm wondering if part of the "bug fix" involves the drop rate, and making it more equitable throughout the day. Although it didn't affect me much during the work week last time - it does make a big difference ont he weekend (especially for a 3-day weekend), and for those working at different shift times. Would be nice if they got that fixed - defintely would be worth the wait for many players.
And I also rather have this event delayed then released in a bugged state...
Cya,

Sometimes the development cycle just does not work out as you planned - I give big props to NC being upfront about that it did not work and decided to pull it before pushing it to the live servers.
I was waiting for this event because I need adena. Instead of adena we got 2 useless potions. Ofc 3/4 people here don't care because they are quite rich but personally im very dissapointed. Get it fixed!!!!!! I pay so I demand.
I will be okay if you guys take a little longer or even if you don’t fix the event. I will not rant in the forums about how this is the last straw and customer service sucks. I will login like always and enjoy the game without any additional fluff. You don’t have to dazzle me with flashy gimmicks or double unicorn sparkles.

Same.
Also, dont feel the least inclined to give anyone anywhere any revitapops. You guys/gals have given us more than enough this year already. Just give us some time to use them now :D
You have time to add some vita items to rewards for new players (like my friend for example) who joined after 7th anniversary and does have nothing :P
I agree with Cheeze on this one - as I think 95% of those playing will.
I appreciate the event - especially getting some mats/items to help build some capitol to keep playing and enjoy the game. Extra Vitality items would be a nice plus (some players - in fact MANY players out there - would appreciate this and it would be of great assistance). That said we already greatly appreciate what is planned for the event - it will help a great deal.
And if the game is to continue to flourish, and drizzle down to just the elites playing down to a fraction of one server, events like will make a difference. It still amazes me that even though we've gone from 13 servers to 2 (and people like the elites have 6 accounts going the duration of a full-time job...making up a large number of those players), they still don't get it. Of course these same people spend most of their life playing video games, posting about them, or thinking about them. I'd sure hate to be part of that family - and they think it's okay. In the real world, events like this do help - and those wanting to play the game for recreation (not an escape for most of their lives), really do appreciate the help.
/me is getting a MacBook Pro until the end of the year.
Take the same amount of money you're about to spend for a MacBook Pro and buy a more powerful PC that will handle bunnies for the next years without a sweat.

Won't buy no desktop PCs anymore, due to what I can/need to do with a computer that would benefict or only be able to with a laptop.
I want to work, study and do some more crazy stuff with my laptop. I know MacBook Pro is overkill to play L2, but I was thinking on using it as a powerhouse for all my possible and needed uses.
But, yes, they are pretty expensive... I may look for smt different.
Since I still have to gather enough money, I got plenty time to think of it wisely.
We might have to wait for the log-in screen with the dried-up Mother Tree so that our version matches the Korean version at the time of the Spring Festival.
Or maybe covering the breasts of that painted war goddess in the weapons store at Aden completely messed up the client and we will never get the rabbit event :p
We are still working with developers on finding a fix for the Rabbit Rampage event. There is no fix yet so we cannot say when the event will happen, but we do still expect to have it once it's fixed (and hopefully still in July 2011). We'll update you once we have news.
I can't extoll on the finer details of the problem, but a very simply summary is that the event NPC is getting the event schedule wrong and won't give players the event items they need to participate in the event. Pretty important to get that working right. ^^

Sure thing. Thanks for the answer.
Hum, if the schedule is set from now to the end of the world it'll be fine :P

Same problem with the Angel Cats giving the buff tokens ONCE per account? I have 13/15/15 tokens on my 3 accounts already :D

No, the only thing in common between Angel Cat and the rabbit NPC is the word "schedule" in their issue description. :) See this thread (http://boards.lineage2.com/showthread.php?t=216787) for more info or questions about Angel Cat.
does this rabbit rampage event have a estimated date ?
Since we don't know what the fix is, we can't know when it will be fixed. Working on the issue with this event is high priority, so we're still hoping to have it in July, but we cannot say anything more specific yet.

How about keeping Player Appreciation going until the event is fixed?

If no fix is found, you could alternatively drop the packages we need for the event in our WH or send by mail. I suppose the event is not about paying 2011 adena a day, but more to get the package to us...
I know you guys been working on fixing the rabbit event...
When you find the error and the event is ready for launch, are you just gonna implement it like a surprise or are you going to give the players a heads up?
Like many others, I do alot of stuff away from home during the summer and would really apreciate to have at least a weeks notice before you launch the event.
We would announce it once we are 100% sure it is working and 100% sure of what date we will have the event. Currently we've made progress. We hope to have some good news for you soon. :)
Cool :d
Thanks, so it was in july after all :d
I think we deseve some vita drops for the wait ! Many newbies in the clan which never had the opportunity to use one.
At least those 10 min ones from tiger event ?
M
If they do i have no reason anymore to party the female DE summoner in my clan :rolleyes:
You think about me like that? Pff...
It's been fixed! Woo hoo! :D
We got a fix yesterday, tested it to make sure, and I just got confirmation that the Rabbit Rampage event will begin tomorrow!
Now time to fix important things... like Beleth entrance maybe? Or Tiat lag issue? Or maybe the entrance to Valakas? Or what you say about fixing the summon bug when entering or switching between instance zones. Or mass party disconnect when SoE/Party Recall from Giant's Cave
The event is stelar in our clan, ppl cant believe their luck.
So far weve been doing it in CH with only our scrolls (not buy yet) 1-2 parties at a time and still had spectacular success.
Ppl c/b grade can already afford s80, I've been waiting for this kind of event for like 9 months, finally it is here.
The only thing that is missing (and newbies are feeling it hard) is the 10 min vita pots drop. It wasnt much, cant we really have something like that ? Should not be many, should not be long, 10 min vita every now and then for the newbies to feel loved outside the 2x event, wont break anything...
M
Next time maybe the event could drop diferent items per grade? Asking this cause ATM everybody is logged on lowbie alts to farm event items since its a lot more profitable to do it alone with mobs 1x that die in 1 hit then in 9 man parties where you share event items
Or at least increase the drop rate in places desingned for parties, so people can still farm the quest items and grind on higher levels please, since this event started party match is empty.
for example mobs where people solo drop 1 item.
mobs designed for groups drops packs of 9 shared by the group like adena is shared.

"After the maintenance of Wednesday, August 3,the Employee of Magic Research Institute will no longer sell Bunny Anger Management Kits, and lure scrolls will no longer drop."
Can we buy Bottles of Bunny Pacifier Juices between august 3-10 or no?

What decides the drop rate of the scrolls, both large and small?
Is the mob level a factor? Does a level 20 get as many scrolls as a level 80 with the same killing speed?
Is the mob level in relation to the killer a factor?
Is the time of the day a factor?
Is the mobs hp multiplier a factor? (x1,x2,x3 etc)

they will never answer that..
but...
1 - Koren random
2 - yes
3 - sorta
4 - in the past yes.. but this time seems different
5 - never was in the past.
Till 3. august we can stockpile lure scrolls and then use them after the maintenance and get our rewards till next maintenance (i believe its 10th Aug)
Another question for Sace:
I know monsters will no longer drop scrolls, but will this be the same for bunnies ?
M
So, let me get this straight pls...

From August 3 to August 10, no lure scrolls will drop at all, neither from monsters nor from bunnies. You can still use stockpiled lure scrolls between August 3 and August 10. The point is that there needs to be a time period where players use up all of the lure scrolls and turn in all their apigas for rewards.

I agree that the negative point on such events is that the drop rate is not adjusted in party areas making people to solo grind,on high lvls there's almost no solo free place to grind,but 1 week doing solo when you are in a group for months-years isnt that bad.
I dont agree with changing the drops according to lvl area-mob,since there are not enough solo areas in game for high lvls for all to go out grind everyday on same hours and when such events are on,we have also people that re-activate their accouts with 80+ toons.
Can we stop saying events run for two weeks when it's really only one week?
It is a two week event. In the second week, there will still be players using their stockpiled scrolls, receiving apigas, turning in apigas for rewards, and making money. A week without scroll drops is necessary so that players can use up their remaining event items before they are deleted when the event ends.
To reference anything next week you must be talking about something 7 days away from your current day or a day that occurs sometime after the agreed upon start of a week.
Can we stop saying events run for two weeks when it's really only one week?
We have always had a week to acquire the event items and a week to turn in items for the rewards.
This Rabbit Rampage Event was one of the best event what between these event what we had here in the EU/NA. I enjoyed so much still the pig hunting event in 2007 summer and the another pig hunting event around september-october of 2008.
I think this event was better than the Double XP & Drop event.
Honestly the Double XP & Drop event can be useful also, but it is a madness, mostly it is a madness if it goes under 1-2 weeks too.
Would be enough just 2-3 days from it.
But the Rabbit Rampage event was really super!!! Useful rewards! By the event we could make REAL clan parties, where wasn't problem the level, the gears from lvl 1-85 everyone could enjoy together the event.
I would be happy if Sace or Moxie would post a message where they says the lure scrolls still drop +1 week:)

No, no. I get that one week is to use up remaining items. But judging by the amount of people forming bunny parties and all the people pacifying the regular ones in town, I don't think the average player stockpiles all thier scrolls waiting for the second week when they stop dropping. And I also get that this is the way it's always been. I just think it's a little misleading to say these events are a full two weeks, when really they're only one full week, followed by a week where the aquisition portion of the event is shut-off. Sort of splitting hairs, I know, but I can't be the only one that reads it that way.
is it right that you remove the Bunny jewels boxes at 10.8.2011?
If so I would ask why? Because if you get more than one Box you cant use it.

You can trade rings/earrings for Life stones(high/top) on the NPC
They can't do what you say because there should not be any of those left
when Goddess Of Destruction launches. They can become a dissbalance between players
Sure the game could get imbalanced but it's normal in L2 :) ATM the whole game IS imbalanced and it will be till all individualities are removed (like Augmentions, OE and so on, but then all will leave).
I think this can only be imbalancing the game for max 30 days because if you open the box the timer runs.
And plz don't let us philosophize about game imbalance. Let see after GoD came up how balanced the game will be. :)
no extend pls..already market is DEAD from so many x2 drop......also too many x2 xp killed the pvp at all...no1 leave town anymore cuz they already have 85.100%

Here's what the event page says:
When the event ends on Wednesday, August 10, the maintenance will remove all event items, including lure scrolls, pacifier juices, Bunny Anger Management Kits, and Angry Bunny Ring, Earring, and Necklace Boxes. All rewards acquired from this event, including angry bunny jewelry that is expiring, remain in the game.
Remember, the jewelry boxes are tradable but the items inside are not. If you get more than one box, sell the excess ones to players that don't have any.

You can also open the rings/earrings, and then go to rewards on the npc and trade them in. I've gotten randomly high and top lifestones 76-82, and some event necklace ones as well. You just can't trade in the event necklace. 7 and 30 day rings/earrings seem to give the same rewards.

You remove also all other rewards from events?
as
Attribute Stone Box
Soul Crystal Box of Stage 14, 15, or 16
Armor Box
Weapon Box
Attribute Crystal Box
Soul Crystal Box of Stage 17 or 18
If i got necklace box in lasts days - need self delete my reward? or dont play and use trader all time to try sell it in last hours?
I think you have old rules - dont remove rewards
From event page i see word - reward

All rewards acquired from this event, including angry bunny jewelry that is expiring, remain in the game.Event items include:
Everything else is a reward, and will not be removed. I can understand how you are confused by whether the jewelry boxes are rewards or event items. They are tied only to this event and they can require the event NPC to exchange it for a different reward, therefore they are event items by definition. Players must use up the boxes (open them or trade them) before the event is over to gain a true reward item from them (the equippable jewelry pieces).
If you get a jewelry box in the last hours of the event, you can either try to sell it before the maintenance, turn in into the NPC for a chance at a different reward, or open the box and claim the expiring jewelry piece for yourself. The choice is up to you.

Almost all good theoretically :)
But necklace box NPC dont change to any items.
I think NPC this for help got rare reward from event (to time event)as change alot ring and earring to necklace and use all time :).
NPC this its not good cause to change REWARD to quest items.
Maybe i wrong but this almost 1 case when you remove reward from event.
I think also not all ppl read all text in event page and play for fun and got info in npc event, and got bad news after maintenance when you delete reward.
