I thought the egg slots would be for normal eggs,not for doni eggs.
That would be like "If you buy a doni you'll get more egg slots for other eggs!",and that's not cool at all.
I'm glad I understood it wrong. I already disappointed myself with other adoptables websites,and I really didn't want that to happen with MS.
But the problem of being egg-locked is not just for people who buy donis,but every user! I mean,you can only get 4 eggs at a time,in a website that has so many,and new ones coming out almost every week. People get frustrated,because they want to catch more. Why is so difficult to rise the eggslots for everyone?
Instead of 4,we could have 6 or 8. I think that would be enough and people will got satisfied.
Oh, I see then. Though it's quite clearly stated in the first post that it's for doni eggs only and in the sentence you quoted earlier is a word 'donation'... :srsly:

Anyways, in my opinion it's nicer when we only have four slots for normal eggs. There's a little more challenge in the game then. It surely isn't hard to rise the number of eggslots but I don't see why it should be done. If you want something (that is, more eggs) you have to do something for it (hatch your current eggs). And besides, people are never satisfied. If we had 6 eggslots, people would ask why we can't have 8. If we had 8 eggslots, people would ask why can't we have 10. And so on. Four is a good number. ^_^

English is not my mother language,so probably I didn't get it right :sleep:
Yes,people are never satisfied,but my point is that,in a website with so many creatures,and more coming out every week,It would be good to have more eggslots. Limiting the game wouldn't make it funnier. This is only my opinion.

To be honest, I kind of agree with increasing egg slots in general. Simply because the number of creatures we now have numbers in the 300s.

And not all of these hatch fast.

It makes sense to increase the number as the variety available increases. Four was great before. It's less great now, even with faster hatching what with Yarolds, etc.

And on topic with feature: I like it :D

That's great for people who can actually donate using Paypal :/

Are we ever going to get the other egg slots, Tristan? This is severely frustrating for other members who cannot afford it, are not old enough, or are too busy trying to afford it to actually play the game enough to hatch the eggs. I think I've clocked 4 eggs a day every day since HiddenMystic got tied up. I shouldn't have to rely on other people to play a game decently for myself either :/

Please Tristan. We might not be all that special because we don't pay yet... but I know many of us will at some point or another. And this is frustrating us to the point where we don't want to donate. Please. Egg Slot Gold Sink! I've got nearly ten million gold waiting to blow on that should the opportunity ever arise.

I'm begging :/

Edit:
Institute an Account Upgrades shop that is purchasable with gold. Huge goldsink.

I actually agree with keeping eggslots at four. If you look at the numbers, then there are by a good margin plenty of donation creatures - 108, if I did it right. That leaves us at 299 creatures otherwise - around 40 of which are unobtainable without purchasing them from other players or something of the sort.
The number of creatures is still overwhelming, but that makes it a 'challenge'. I've seen other hatchable sites that have it too easy; I don't even register.

Also, if you take a look at the recent money problem, then this makes a good incentive for people to donate. There's nothing 'wrong' about that - And ESPECIALLY since so many new creatures come out, Tristan wants people to maintain the ability to donate. It makes sense.

Also, source for those creature numbers is The Emerald Hatchery. XD


On topic, I love the idea! Like I said above, I'm far more likely to donate.

As that doesn´t seem to be clear to everyone: this new feature just allows it to buy two more donation eggs when one is already egglocked, those two slots cannot be used for regular eggs. In fact if you´ve got 4 regular eggs + 2 donation eggs and two regular ones hatch you still cannot catch any more regular eggs, just buy new donation creatures. So this does not really allow you to catch more regular creatures than someone who does not donate.
It´s already ridiculously easy to catch and hatch large amounts of creatures in little time if some effort is put into it, raising the regular eggslots would just make things boring in my opinion. :t-shrug:

I wouldn't mind a single extra guy-able eggslot (for gold), because hatch ALL the eggs, but 4 seems sufficient, really. Although there's been more creatures released and all, there's also been an increase in users, etc. so it's easy to hatch things.

As a non-donating member I fully support and agree with this new feature. People who donate should have those extra eggslots for their donation pets. I don't see at all how this would effect the non-donating players, since we don't but the Donation Pets, anyways. I think this is a wonderful new feature, even if I never get to use it! :t-swoon:

I think this is cool. =) I don't donate, but I see how it would be convenient for people who did, as it lets people keep their eggs AND be able to buy the doni's. And personally, I think the egg limit is fine. Four is a good number, and although more would be nice, it's not really necessary. I mean, I can hatch a party of four eggs in thirty minutes on click threads. Also, I find it kind of funny that now we have a new feature to make egg slots more convenient for buyers of donis, and we're expressing our displeasure about something else. XD Not being mean, just poking a little fun! :P
