Serene, yes it is annoying sometimes. But I can understand their point of view aswell. Especially if you try camping them for several hours some even almost an entire day.

So yeah I would get annoyed that way aswell. And the people that do get one or more will always say its annoying they are whining cause the whining is pointed towards you

I did camp out for a day to get mine, but even when I was missing them hour after hour I didn't whine about it.

You still have a chance to get them, they're showing up on the abandoned page in droves.

well, when they make zombies abandonable, i will be trading them for rare eggs except silver, hopefully which is soon before they change into adults... and i wonder if they will be breedable?

You can abandon them. I even stole one from there. even when they were only out for about 10 hours. So the ones saying that you cant abandon them I wonder where that is coming from

^Probably pure impatience at having to wait five hours. People were hoarding these eggs like greedy pigs, then find out that the hatchlings are ugly/cannot be abandoned, and go on killing sprees?

Serves them right that their scrolls are full of dead shells. Jesus, what a waste of eggs. They shouldn't have been so greedy in the first place. Lol, it would be brilliant if the dead eggs never left their scroll.

People should really only get two, just to be fair, unless the rest are gifts. I gave away my extra to a less fortunate member, and it felt good, because that person really struggled and it was killing him seeing scrolls with loads of eggs being hogged.

People are saying that they can't be abandoned because when they try, they get a message saying that they placed the egg back at the cave, but when they returned to their scroll the egg was there beside it. Apparently it can no longer be abandoned.

I get tired of the people saying that getting an egg is simply a matter of being a fast clicker. I tried for three hours yesterday, both on the five minutes and the hourly drop. The lag was so awful that the only time I even saw an egg was at the second hour's drop I did see the last two eggs, but they were already taken. Today the lag was better, and I snagged two eggs. It had nothing to do with how fast I clicked, it was how fast the eggs appeared on the screen.

Have either one of you ever cleaned out your cookies or temp, internet files? Keeping those cleaned out will help your computer load pages quicker. I delete mine every couple of days with all the egg clicking and viewing I do. Just a thought for the future.

I didn't get one, and it is annoying. I'm not whining about it in general because I just don't give a s**t more or less. They're silly pixels, and they aren't that important. I didn't get one because my computer is slow and doesn't load up things fast enough. It's not my cache either, since that clears every time I close the internet browser, and my temp files clear every time I turn my computer off. My computer simply isn't as fast as others. My sister finally got one on her laptop, which is at least twice as fast as my computer, and she camped out for practically a whole day, between normal every day stuff and babysitting a three year old.

I DO find it annoying though that some people snatch up so many when others could be getting them. This isn't a win or lose game. There are no winners, no trophy's, no "congrats you're a great dragon snatcher!". The basic theory of this type of game is to collect every breed, not to try to get as many of them as possible and then, in effect, go "nana-nana-boo-boo" at the kids who couldn't or didn't. That's just plain mean, rude and rotten.

I'm not saying everyone that grabbed three or four were being mean about it. Those that are intending to give some up, or were intending when they could, are great people and frankly the only winners I see in the game, and the same goes for in life. Anyone that is so worried about their own business that they can't even give something they don't need to someone who isn't as lucky, fortunate, or adept, quite frankly, really suck.

In conclusion to this essay (lol), congrats to everyone that got one. Can't wait to see what the dragons look like.

Okay, normally I try to stay out of these debates, but this was just rude and ignorant. You CANNOT abandon the Halloween eggs normally. Originally you could, but not any longer--if you try to abandon it, it follows you back to your scroll regardless of how long you've had it. So no, it is not just people who were impatient--there's a very different message for the Halloween eggs than if you try to abandon it before the five hours are up. I'd link to a screenshot, but if you're too righteously indignant to go investigate for yourself, I'm not going to do it for you. Check out the Dragcave forums.

Secondly, people were killing them because for a time, they regenerated on the scroll and apparently duplicated, sending another Halloween egg to the abandoned page. To clarify, people were killing them at the risk of not getting their egg back, so that more people would have chances at the eggs on the abandoned page. The eggs no longer regenerate on the original owner's scroll, but they do later appear on the abandoned page (same code and everything. Again, check the Dragcave forums). As far as anyone knows, this is the only way to give up a Halloween egg in order to give it to someone else--and you know what? People are still doing it with their extra eggs, to give other people chances at them. That's why you see so many dead eggs. Those people aren't greedy, or casually killing their hard-won eggs just because they don't like the hatchling sprite (especially considering that the general opinion of the second stage hatchling is quite positive), they're doing it to give others a chance, because they can't be abandoned in the normal way. They're doing it for people like you, who don't even bother to ask questions and investigate before you make accusations. What a way to repay them.

NOTE: This is not aimed at all of the people who are dissatisfied with the outcome of the Halloween event, just those who are unnecessarily rude. There are so many factors that contribute to either getting eggs or not getting them, and most of you have been very civil about it--sometimes, it's just plain bad luck, and yes, sometimes there are people who steal as many eggs as possible out of pure greed. But it's not fair to assume that everyone with multiple eggs was being selfish, just as it's not fair to assume that everyone who didn't get any eggs is automatically a whiner who just wasn't fast or dedicated enough.

So, TL;DR: D4rk Vulpine, please check your facts before mouthing off; check the Dragcave forums for significantly newer information than what shows up here; and Halloween eggs can't be abandoned normally, they have to be killed and will later respawn on the abandoned page. And YES, this means that there are still chances to get them. Keep an eye on the abandoned page--they show up in swarms!

I have to say that mass-grabbers are a pet peeve of mine too, though a fairly minor in comparison. It's just plain greedy -- and if the shoe fits, wear it. Pointing that out has nothing to do with "whining" unless you go all emo-wangsty and spam 100 emoticon-infested complaints.

An attitude of "I grab all the new/rare eggs so I WIN and YOU LOSE NOOB!" would be just silly. There are no points, no grades, no winners or losers.
