Easter and 6th birthday event - Guild Wars Forums

Spiritz · Mar 18, 2011, 11:35 AM // 11:35

I just realised and did a spot of checking but easter weekend also falls upon anets birthday celebrations.
Easter - gd fri 22nd april and easter mon 25th.
Anet birthday bash usually starts around the 22nd of april ( checked last few yrs dates on wiki ).
Now im wondering how anets going to play this - are we going to get both eggs/bunnies along with cupcakes or is anet going to delay the birthday event ?.
Also is there a weekend event this week and what is it - theres no new weekend event details up on login screen.

The birthday celebration tends to be the last weekend in April, so I don't see any conflict with Easter. The cupcakes will most likely start dropping on the 28th. Of course, that is just my opinion; we have no idea what ArenaNet will decide to do.

As for the weekend, the Lucky Weekend hasn't ended yet. Shamrock Ale and Four-Leaf Clovers are still dropping as of this morning.

Well seeing as Easter is late this year and the Birthday celebrations usually start a week before the day itself they possibly will overlap. But seeing as how Anet are "very good" at organizing weekend events and making sure they start and last their full duration, i have no worries.

It'll be fine, they'll probably just have 2 days before one ends and the other starts(hoping they have altered the event automation).

Should be double GvG this weekend

Darcey - anet extended st pats event by 1 day due to it stopping 1 day early.
But bk to the 6th bday bit - if you look at a calender the 22nd actually leads onto the last week of april which does coencide with easter - anets always started the bday stuff around this date.
From checking wiki it fell on -
2nd year - 27th april to 30th
3rd year - thurs 24 to tues 29th
4th - thurs 23 to weds 29th
5th - thurs 22 to thurs 29th
So you can see what i mean about the dates - going by start date 3 yrs in a row and being the thursday in 3rd week of month and easter being same weekend .

xD, got a good laugh outta me haha.

Yeah, I noticed this earlier as well, I figured they would just start the Birthday Celebration either on the actual birthday weekend and make it last a week after that too, or just start it right after easter.

Then again, As Scarlet said, with Anet's ability to schedule events, we could end up seeing Guildwars trying to Divide by 0.

No I dont wanta divide by zero

but honestly, how are they managing these 2 events, both are very popular.
I kinda forgot that easter could be on different dates so imagine my annoyance when I found out it is not upcomming weekend.
