| WHEN IS IT? |
|/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\|
| |
| The Golden Egg event lasts starts on Friday April 19 |
| 20:00 GT (Game Time). |
| |
| The event ends exactly 24 hours after the first player has |
| transformed their egg into a golden egg (see below). So, |
| depending on the skill of the participants the event could |
| finish quickly, or take a fairly long time. |
| |
| However, should no player manage to finish the event |
| within two weeks, the event will end on Friday May 3 |
| 20:00 GT. |
| |

| HOW DOES IT WORK? |
|/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\|
| |
| Everyone who wish to participate in the event must visit |
| Beatrice in Sparkle. Who? You can't miss her, she's the |
| only talking hen around. If you give her a squeeze she |
| will give you a common white egg. Your goal is to |
| transform this egg to a golden egg. The first participant |
| who manages to do that wins, but as mentioned above, the |
| event will last for another 24 hours after that, so anyone |
| else who manages to turn their egg into a golden egg will |
| also be greatly rewarded. |
| |
| But how do you turn your common egg into a golden egg? |
| |
| Easy. Your egg will contain riddles, and for each riddle |
| solved your egg will level up, and change material. The |
| egg starts on level 1, and to turn it into a golden egg |
| you need to reach level 15. |
| |
| Each riddle refers to a specific location somewhere in |
| Genesis. When you think you know the answer to one of the |
| riddles on your egg, you simply go to that location and |
| shake the egg. If it's correct, your egg will level up, |
| but if it's incorrect you won't be able to shake it |
| again for another 30 minutes. |
| |
| Your egg will always show three different riddles, and |
| when you solve a riddle it will be replaced with a new |
| one, until there are no riddles left to solve. |
| |

| THE REWARDS |
|/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\|
| |
| - The first person who turns their egg into a golden egg |
| will receive a fancy title and also a golden eggpack. |
| A what? An eggpack! A gnomish egg-shaped backpack that |
| turns anything you put in it almost weightless. How |
| cool is that? |
| |
| The title will last for 1 year, and the eggpack for 30 |
| days. |
| |
| - Should more than one person turn their egg into a |
| golden egg, the first and second runner ups will also |
| receive an eggpack (but no title). |
| |
| - Everyone who turns their egg into a golden egg will |
| also receive a substantial amount of quest experience. |
| However, the MORE people who turn their eggs golden, |
| the LESS experience will be rewarded per person. |
| |
| This means that you can work together and trade |
| information as much as you want, but doing so comes |
| with the risk of receiving a smaller reward in the end. |
| |
| - An additional amount of quest experience will also be |
| awarded to everyone who reaches egg level 5 and egg |
| level 10. So, even if you don't think you can win, |
| there is still quest experience to work for. |
| |
| IMPORTANT: |
| |
| As noted above, should no player manage to finish the |
| event within two weeks, the event will end on Friday |
| May 3 20:00 GT. If that happens, the participant(s) with |
| the highest egg level at that time will be considered |
| winner(s) and will receive a quest experience reward, |
| but this reward will be fairly small and more of a |
| consolation prize then anything else. Also, there will |
| be no title, no eggpack and no glory for the consolation |
| winners. |

| ADDITIONAL INFORMATION |
|/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\|
| |
| You will only be able to see your own egg level, but to |
| give you an idea about how you are doing in the event you |
| can ask Beatrice about <eggs> in order to learn how |
| many eggs she has given out and their current level. |
| |
| It is possible for everyone, regardless of race or align, |
| to reach all locations. |
| |
| There are 14 riddles in total and all participants will |
| get the same riddles to solve, however, the riddles will |
| be presented in a random order on each egg. |
| |
| You can only solve riddles that are visible on your egg. |
| Even if you know the answer to a riddle you have seen on |
| someone else's egg, you must wait until it shows up on |
| YOUR egg until you can solve it. Shaking your egg in the |
| correct location for a riddle that is NOT visible on your |
| egg will not work. |

| IMPORTANT RULES |
|/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\|
| |
| Asking wizards for hints is strictly forbidden. Players |
| caught trying to do this, in-realms or elsewhere, will |
| be sternly warned, and if caught again, disqualified. |
| It is of course perfectly fine to discuss anything event- |
| related with non-wizards anywhere you want. |
| |
| You can compete with more than one character, but please |
| make sure to read the section about multiple logins and |
| character separation in <help rules>, so you don't |
| accidentally break a game rule. |
| |
| Any type of cheating or attempt to cheat will lead to |
| disqualification from this event, a ban from future events, |
| and most likely a trip to the AoP office, depending on if |
| you also broke a game rule when trying to cheat. |
