Editing to add in the details up top (and updated day):
What: Read below - but TL;DR a in game easter egg hunt!
When: Monday 4th April 8.30 AM Server Time/8.30 PM (Australian) WST (GMT +8)/10.30PM AEST
Note this is currently marked as Oceanic - because so far I'm the only one that has put their hand up to organise it so far - I'm looking for volunteers for US/EU!
Heya.
I posted this idea over at Blog Azeroth after some discussions on Twitter and it is looking like it would be better as just a SAN guild event rather than tying it in to a big multi blog event.
The original thread over at BA is here: www.blogazeroth.com/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=2165
The idea is this:
The premise behind it comes from the other meaning of Easter Egg. As reads from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter_egg_(media):
In game there are a numerous pop culture references, for example Harris Pilton. The idea behind this event it to set up a scavenger hunt that we can run as a guild event to find (and screenshot) a number of pop culture references in game.
To add to the fun it would also be worth abstracting out the references to make people deduce what they are rather than just listing them. However I'm not sure how that would go - it may or may not work. Thoughts?
Mainly the fun behind this will largely be trying to get all those low level alts to all the difficult to find places to take the screen shots.
I think we'd need to take suggestions for times. EU is probably alright to do in an evening, US/Oceanic it'll be tougher to find a commonish time (I'm from Australia and have limited time frames so I understand the issues).
I'm guessing Sunday night would work best (that works for us Aussies as the Monday is a holiday).
I guess I'll also need volunteers for people to get this kicking in game at the appropriate times too!

A virtual Easter egg is an intentional hidden message, in-joke or feature in an object such as a movie, book, CD, DVD, computer program, web page or video game.
