I am incredibly proud of the entire team rallying together to build out this first major Holiday Event, and of the positive player reception.

Spoiler Alert!
Players discover an eerie scene of a small island overrun with rabbits and a single lore note speaking of a white rabbit named Stanley. Explore the island and identify Stanley against the crowd of standard rabbits. Killing Stanley shrouds the island in shadow and summons the vengeful fury of the "Harekeeper!"
