Do you Hanami? If not -- all the cool kids are doing it, why aren't you? For those of you in the audience going "Han-whadda?", <a href="http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2011_how.html">Hanami</a> is a Japanese custom of cherry blossom viewing. Every year, during a very brief period, cherry blossom trees bloom across the nation, and people turn out in scads to look at them and go "ooh" and "aah."<br />
<br />
In the sea-themed MMO <a href="http://www.florensia-online.com/."><em>Florensia</em></a>, the devs are inviting everyone to participate in Hanami and Easter with their special in-game event. As players enjoy the cherry blossom trees, they're encouraged to collect as many Cherry Blossoms as possible, along with rare <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodo">Dodo</a> Eggs from these odd birds. These items can be traded in for a bevy of outfits and pets, including fluffy Rabbit Ears, Cherry Blossom Coronets, Mini-Dodos and fuzzy Fox Hats.  Another perk of this special holiday is an impressive 50% bump to party XP until the event ends.<br />
<br />
The Easter and Hanami event in <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/florensia/"><em>Florensia</em></a> is going on now through April 6, so snag all of the blossoms and eggs that you can before time runs out!
