|/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\|
| |
| Since this was the first ever Golden Egg event nobody |
| knew what to expect, or how long it was going to last. |
| In total 161 people joined the event and 63 managed to |
| solve at least one riddle. Just like in almost all |
| events, the competition was fierce all the way to the |
| finish line. |
| |
| After early leader Juliette fell behind it looked like |
| it was going to be a race between Alisa, Namara and |
| Faryan. However, Faryan's efforts fell short on his last |
| two riddles, while Alisa and Namara got stuck on their |
| last ones. |
| |
| Instead, Zail made a very strong push and came from |
| behind to win the event. It took him exactly 30 hours |
| and 20 seconds to transform his common white egg into |
| a golden egg, and he was soon followed by Talon (30 |
| hours, 37 minutes, 19 seconds), and Tulasi (30 hours, |
| 40 minutes, 35 seconds). |
| |
| A couple of hours later Emelvia finished her egg, and |
| then it took more than eight hours until Montagu finished |
| his. Shortly after, Alisa finally solved her last |
| riddle to finish sixth. During the hours that followed |
| eleven more participants finished their eggs, including |
| Faryan and Diri who battled for the top spots early on, |
| and event specialists Starla and Daerin. However, their |
| fans must be a little disappointed with "only" a 9th |
| and 10th place. |
| |
| In total, 17 participants completed their eggs. |
| |
| Well done! |

| REWARDS |
|/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\|
| |
| As winner of the event Zail will receive the title 'Master |
| Riddler Eggstraordinaire'. He also receives the eggpack, |
| which is a gnome-made backpack that turns anything you put |
| in it almost weightless. As first and second runner ups |
| Talon and Tulasi will receive an eggpack as well (but no |
| title). |
| |
| Everyone who managed to solve all riddles in order to |
| create a golden egg will also receive the same quest |
| experience reward. However, as stated in the event |
| information note, the reward would become smaller and |
| smaller for each player who completed an egg. So, sharing |
| and trading information came with a price during this |
| event. |
| |
| Since so many completed their eggs the experience reward |
| will be smaller than in most events, but it will of course |
| still be a bigger reward than what participants get for |
| lower level eggs. |
| |
| Everyone who reached egg level 10-14 will receive a quest |
| experience reward of a somewhat smaller size, and those |
| who reached level 5-9 will get a little something for |
| their effort as well. |
| |
| Everyone on the results list above will have at least one |
| reward that they can <claim> in the Arch of Events office, |
| located one down from the entrance to the Tower of Realms |
| in Sparkle. Please note that some of you have more than |
| one reward to claim, so make sure you get all your rewards |
| by claiming multiple times if needed. |
| |
| Congratulations to everyone who won something! |

| FINAL THOUGHTS |
|/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\|
| |
| Being a new event we did not really know what to expect. |
| Were the riddles too hard? Too easy? Was the egg cooldown |
| set at a reasonable time? Etc. Overall, we think the |
| event ran smoothly, and the only known glitch was that one |
| participant managed to fall down from a cliff and break |
| their egg. Luckily we were able to quickly replace it. |
| |
| The riddles proved to be a challenge for many, but still |
| a challenge that the resourceful Genesis players managed |
| to overcome relatively quickly, indicating that the |
| overall difficulty was not too hard. |
| |
| Some of you have already provided both praise and some |
| feedback and ideas, but if you haven't yet, feel free to |
| check out this thread on the official Genesis forums |
| and let us know what you thought was good, and what you |
| think could be better next time: |

| We had fun creating and running this event and we hope |
| you had fun participating! |
