Easter Day Event 2010

The Easter 2010 event started on April 2, 2010 at 11:30 AM EST, with a banner change to indicate it.

Event Beginning
With no announcement given at the time, Gaians spotted colored eggs called: Easter, Grunny, and Gambino eggs scattered around Gaia's landing pages: Home, My Gaia, Shops, Forums, World, Games. They were told by collecting 20 eggs, they would be granted a prize.
 * Apr 2

When Gaians were on the Reward page, there was an animated Grunny named Diedrich to greet them, clicking him led to his Gaia Profile.

Diedrich: Announcements
Hello! Did you know grunnies come from an egg? You can eat the eggs, but they taste like sulfur and horse blood. Well, bye bye! Oh, and also I hid some eggs. If you find a bunch of them, you get a fun thing! Bye! Bye bye for real!
 * Apr 2: Announcement: Grunny eggs time!

zOMG
An Easter based event in Gaia's MMO, zOMG, started on April 1st, running till April 11th. Village Greens was decorated with an Easter theme: eggs hanging from ribbon wrapped trees and Gnome mushroom homes painted pastel with eggs decorating them. This festive theme caused the General Gnome to retreat to his mushroom, but if players wanted to fight him, they could confront him inside his own home.

There were rare Golden Egg with an HP of 3,000. While soloing, the egg was tedious to crack, but with a crew or various other players, the cracking of the egg would reward players with a Golden Ticket and Gold. There was also a new recipe, two new badges, chicks to capture and chicks that would follow a player around, and a special golden egg that hatched some time after the event ended.
