Welcome to Gaia! ::

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

wtf... why are they spawning them in abandoned page?? thought it was mystery eggs?? anyway, i didnt see any zombie eggs after like 4 hours ago, they stopped... and you cant abandon or what?

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

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.

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!
