awfully quiet on the home front

I imagine things will start picking up in time for the next holy war. I joined about two days into the Easter event. The holy war started just a few days after that, and then three days later the dragon quest started. I don't have enough experience to be making any assumptions, so can anyone that's been playing longer than I have fill in their experience as what happened prior to the Easter event?

It was about two weeks of silence. I joined about two weeks before the easter bunny event. I think Cygames tries to release at least one or two events per month.
