You are "scroll locked" (that is, unable to pick up new eggs/hatchlings) if you have either 4 eggs, or 4 hatchlings.

However, there are points in the game where you might have over 4 hatchlings or 4 eggs.

If you are scroll locked, you can still BREED dragons and keep an egg from the breeding. However, you can only hold a MAX of 5 eggs at any point, so if you have 4 eggs, breed one and keep it, then breed again... any egg produced will be automatically abandoned.

Beware also, that if you have 5 or more hatchlings, any eggs you breed will be auto-abandoned.

Also, if you have eggs/hatchlings of different ages, you might end up with over 4 hatchlings if say, some of your eggs hatch before your other hatchlings grow up. So it's possible to have up to 7 or even 8 hatchlings They won't auto-abandon just because they hatched.

Hope this explains it all for ya!

Pardon me if I ask for clarification, but is it that you can have 4 eggs AND 4 hatchlings at any one time - ie, a total number of 8 - or only a total amount of 4, hatchlings and eggs together?

Clarification would be much appreciated!

IIRC: if you have LESS than THREE Hatchlings, you have up to FIVE Eggies after that point. You can grab up to FOUR. If you have less than FIVE Eggies, you MAY be able to breed and keep up to a TOTAL of FIVE. Thus, you can end up with like THREE Hatchlings and FIVE Eggies.

TJ may have a different opinion......

Just to add, things will be changing as TJ gets the updates and changes put in. Some were schedued for this month.....

From the 2010-11-11 "Feature Preview" thread on the DC Forums:

Feel free to double-check your calendar if you don't believe me, but no, it's not April 1st yet. And pinch yourself all you wish, you're not dreaming. These features are really happening. That said, these features are not yet available. (Which might seem obvious, but who knows?)

Egg/Hatchling Limits
Changing to 4 eggs / 12 total, regardless of whether or not you're breeding, grabbing from cave, or whatnot.
With a bronze badge, the limit goes up to 5 eggs/15 total
Silver badge, 6 eggs/18 total
Gold badge, 7 eggs/21 total


Fertility
Purple BSA increases the chance of whatever dragon you choose breeding successfully.
Does not alter the chance of getting a specific breed of egg.
Two week cooldown

Locations
Eggs split up into different biomes
Fewer people viewing each biome means fewer people vying for each individual egg.
Want a water-based dragon? Chances are you'll find them near the beach. Tropical dragons? In a jungle.
Rares will show up in all biomes.

Rare x Rare breeding
Breed gold x gold, gold x silver, or gold x holiday (Or any other combination of rares except holiday x holiday)
gold x gold has the same chance of producing a gold egg as gold x pink, so this won't make rares super-easy to get.

Refusals in breeding list
Once a pair has refused, it will cease to show up on the breeding page.
This will work for all pairs that have refused each other since June 14, 2010.

Renaming
Unlimited, you can rename your dragon as much as you wish.
Currently no option to remove a name, only replace it.

S1 Freezing
Whatever stage you freeze in is where it stays
Existing frozen hatchlings will not be affected.
I may release a tool that lets people take existing "S1 frozen" hatchlings (which are accomplished merely by low views) and "convert" them to proper S1 frozens.

Scroll Pages
Each user sets how many dragons they wish to view per-page.
User setting is applied for all scrolls that user views.

Teleport
Magi BSA provides 2-way trading or 1-way transferring
Up to four eggs/hatchlings at a time

Vampire Lineages
Vampire eggs (and up) show what dragon bit them.
Vampire dragons show what eggs they have bitten.
Existing lineage is unaffected.



Timeframe: Renaming, S1 Freezing, Scroll Pages, and Vampire Lineages should be arriving this weekend, December 10-12.
