Splitting Heirs

Splitting Heirs is the 2009 Easter Event released South of Falador as were previous Easter events.

This event as normal holiday events, is available to Paying Members and Free to Player players.

The Easter Bunny seems to have been around forever. Or has he? What makes him seem immortal? This Easter, calamity has once again befallen his factory, and he needs your help to solve the problem. As well as giving you the chance to fix some impressive machinery, and deal with some colourful (but less than helpful) characters, Splitting Heirs will also give our free players a taste of what it’s like to catch implings!

This event revisits the past, so if you’ve played previous Easter events you’ll recognise the incubator from 2008 and the Easter Bird from 2006. Find out what makes the Easter Bunny tick, and you could also earn yourself a new fun weapon. So what are you waiting for? Go seek out the Easter Bunny!

Trivia

 * During the event player says to Easter Bunny Jr "Run, rabbit, run!", which is a reference to a film Forest Gump, where one line is "Run, Forest, run!"
 * If you enter the Rabbit Hole with any items in your inventory and then leave it after completing (or before, and after being a rabbit) all items in your inventory will automatically be banked. This has not been fixed if not intended.
 * You are able to drop the Easter carrot reward, so you can talk to Diango to get another one(you cannot pick up the one you dropped)
 * When the squirrel, Big Ben, asks for payment, the player will tell him how many coins the player has in his/her bank.
 * Even though the giant carrot is held in one hand, it still counts as a two-handed weapon.
 * when in the equipment stats screen, the parts of the incubator have the possibility to wear them, although when you try so you'll get the message "You can't wear this item".
 * Heirs is another pun, meaning children.
 * While talking to Big Ben, the player makes a different face animation than seen anywhere else.

Rewards
For completing the event players were rewarded with an Easter Carrot. The Easter Carrot is a two-handed fun weapon that can be used to whack other players, much like the Rubber chicken from the 2005 Easter event.
