Guild Wars 2

Among other items like Aviator Sunglasses and Wide Rim Glasses , a lot of players were hoping (hopping!) for Bunny Ears to be brought back for the 2nd Anniversary Gem Store Sale.

These were items that were all taken off from the Gem Store before the big Wardrobe and Town Clothes change, and folks that would’ve otherwise bought these items for combat and general use never did.

Let’s send a message to ArenaNet that we want Bunny Ears and the rest of these items brought back to the Gem Store, even if just temporarily.

Tonight, I’ll be hosting an event where we will hop (literally hop with gratuitous use of the spacebar) from Rata Sum to Ebonhawke, gathering carrots along the way and occasionally helping low level characters by rabbitzerging events we come across.

A rough map of our route can be found here.

The highest level zone we’ll be hopping through will be Blazeridge Steppes (40-50), so this journey will be great for bringing characters who aren’t quite at level 80 yet. Plus, it’ll be a good way to activate some waypoints on a character who hasn’t traveled across Tyria before.

The general guidelines of this expedition are as follows:
- Keep jumping as you move.
- Collect any and all carrots along the way.
- Don’t be afraid to detour off course to help with events while we travel.
- Make rabbit puns in chat.

Take screenshots and/or video to show Reddit & Anet later.

Be at Rata Sum by 9pm ET / 6pm PT (Tonight, Sunday August 31st). Initial meet-up is at the Super Adventure Box.

Also, Guest to Anvil Rock (Megaserver placement is still affected somewhat by guesting) to try to ensure we all get into the same instance. We’ll want to party up to ensure we don’t get split into different Megaservers as we exodus across Tyria.

Finally, if you have a Commander tag, turn it on. We’ll flood the minimap with doritos since rabbits love doritos.

Edit 1: I’ll be streaming the event on Twitch tonight for anyone that wants to watch it all happen. There will be music! http://www.twitch.tv/lumpofcole

I’ll come to this tonight because I think this is a positive, community-driven way to show interest in something being added (or returned) to the game.

I truly hope ANET does something to enable all the people who want this item to buy it, even if it only comes back for one day or something.

I would have come if it was on EU server. I hope you guys will get more publicity and views on Twitch, because well, EU Sever people are now mostly asleep. Other parts of the world are working etc. And I really want the bunny ears to come back. I want them back so badly, that I was almost going to threaten Anet with sending Frank the rabbit to them (u know, the creepy one from Donnie Darko), because he is upset(he doesn’t know where the bunny ears are).

Was lots of fun Lost the main group as we passed into Charr territory, figured all those cats might up the attrition rate a little. Managed to pick them back up before we hit Ebonhawk though.

This was really fun. I was completely shocked at the high turnout on short notice and everyone was really fun, posting jokes and passing out Jackalope Tonics (they look like bunnies with antlers) .

People clearly have strong feelings on this topic, and I truly want to believe an event like this will at least show up on the radar of those with the power to bring the ears back.

I have some screenshots here: http://imgur.com/a/zfHPv#0

I sadly missed my chance to own these wonderful ears before the wardrobe changes, and I have been eagerly anticipating the day when they would once again be available for purchase. This event really showed me that, above all else, I’m not alone in my strong desire to own this item.

People from multiple servers guested to take part in this event with very little notice, and it ended up being amazing. I had so much fun and I sure hope someone at Anet noticed all the novelty characters, jokes made in chat, and copious use of bunny tonics!

Here are the screenshots I personally took of the event: http://imgur.com/a/pdHmQ

Thank you all for coming out! Hopefully this catches Anet’s attention in some way or form, especially with the great turnout.

Here are some of my favorite pictures from the event: http://imgur.com/a/alvsP#0

You can share your experiences on Reddit as well! :

I know I’m necroing an old thread, but this caught my eye and I’m a little shocked it never sparked Anet’s attention.

Very impressive turnout. I hope Anet will ride the wave on this kind of enthusiasm of their playerbase in the future.
