Well after another year of waiting the infamous April Fools Day is back. Last year we were left in suspense as Johnny Gambino was shot by an unknown sharp shooter and he has been missing since then, as well as the Von Helson Sisters who apparently were ''squashed'' as Gambino's tower (result of his greed and madness for power) tumbled down upon them.
As soon as April began, there was a special forum opened for the April Fools event:
http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=180
Here we could discuss the new storyline update as it developed, and what an update! eek There has never been such a long one ever, it all started at Barton cliffs were Gino confronted Ian, Sasha and Moira were with them as well, and of course, Cindy:
Last time you might remember that Ian was recovering at the hospital after he was shot by the same unknown sharp shooter that killed Gambino (Perhaps the biggest moracle ever xp ) and while he was with Sasha, they were caughed by Gino who didn't looked very happy. xd Cindy meanwhile, was trying to figure out who the mysterious sharp shooter was, that is when the story continues:
It looked like Ian was going to get it eek , but an uninvited guest decided things would go his way:
That's right, IS LABTECH X! AGAIN! xd
Labtech X injects Gino with another sample of the G-virus and that is when things get crazy, Gino seemed to be transforming, but into what? eek
gonk gonk gonk IS THE GAIA ARMAGEDDON!!!!! WE ARE ALL DEAD!!!!! gonk gonk gonk
Suddenly the gigantic explosion covered all the world of Gaia part by part, city by city, place by place:
The only places it didn't touched were the fields leading to Aekea.
(Thanks death72 for the Aekea picture, I must have missed it xp )
Everyone panicked, but it wasn't the destruction we were expecting, it was just the blast as the tranformation of Gino was complete. Next some secrets of what happened over a year ago were revealed in some good old flash backs:
So basically Gambino injected himself with a sample of the virus and when he was shot and ''killed'' he took his son with him as Gino followed. It seemed like the two of them share one body now, Gino took over it when Sasha found him with Ian that day on the beach. But now....
eek JOHNNY GAMBINO HAS RETURNED!!!!!!! eek
Unfortunately once again we were left in suspense since that was the end of the update for now. I wasn't very happy with this, even though I favored Johnny when he was at war with the Von Helson Sisters, this is just a signal that they could return as well and the whole war could start all over again. gonk
That was all for this year's April Fools event, there weren't any pranks this year either, hopefully there will be a next time to get my hopes up. xp
April is not just about pranks, is also about bunnies and eggs. blaugh Like every year the Easter Egg Hunt event was back, with a few changes though. We could hunt for eggs in the forums or in Gaia Towns. The Easter Bunny hosted and announced the event this time:
In the hunt on the forums, we had an Easter basket:
As we roamed around a rare event bubble appeared by your avatar and an Easter egg started floating around the screen like it was a rare event:
Even though there were 8 different eggs, we had to collect 10 in order to get a prize:
You clicked the ''You won'' banner to get an Easter 2k6 basket from the Easter Bunny, there were 6 items to collect:
- Bunny tie - Bunny shirt - Bunny tail - Bunny ears (not the bunny luvs from the shops) - Carrot plush (Gaia homes accesory) - Chicky tie
In Gaia Towns the drill was basically the same, only that this time we had to look for them on the ground, they bounced around and we had to catch them. After collecting 10 like in the forums, we went to the fountain were the Easter Bunny was roaming to get a basket. The poor Bunny actually thought Jack was stealing eggs when you tried to get a prize without having enough eggs, poor bunny. xd rofl
This month was full of new features such as:
- Housing update: Kitchen set - Improved Gaia Towns: No more need for a shovel to dig flowers or bug catching net to get bugs, and there is no limit to how many items we can hold. blaugh Also there is no more need of going to the fountain to save the items, your own backpack dows it for you now. blaugh blaugh
- Store item update: New chef and pirate items were added. - New Bank system: Now we are allowed to trade game items, and the system is much better and secured. blaugh
- New fishing items: New hats and accesories that can be made from fishes. heart (Better start fishing a lot again xd )
- April 2006 donation items: We get the choice between a Sun Staff and a G-Bot (*Pets robot* heart ) This was one of the best months ever on Gaia. 3nodding
heart Great job admins! heart
