Hey ho, the release has ended. I managed one coal and two of the others. TJ, please can we have 24 hr releases instead of 16? Please?

My Internet isn't particularly slow, but my reactions might be! I really want that coal egg. I live on a (now disused) coalfield where the main occupation used to be coal mining, so coal has been an important part of life here.

By this time of day (about twelve hours in) it usually gets a lot easier to catch new release eggs. Usually. Sigh.

Wait, what? A monthly dragon release a week early? That was a bit sneaky!

Good grief, that was reminiscent of days gone by when a new release meant a mild episode of carpal tunnel pain! Finally got half a dozen, and that'll do for now. I wish the releases would last for a full 24 hours: there are so many more players now, and the increase in biomes isn't doing the trick now.

Penblwydd hapus! Happy birthday!

I got excited too soon. I can't use my candy canes to buy eggs in the market because I already have two cave-born dragons of each breed. Oh well... We need something else to spend candy canes on, if we can't buy market eggs. Wouldn't it be lovely if they could be converted to shards, or used to buy non-event eggs! (Dream on.....)

Finally something to do with all the excess candy canes! Thank you very much TJ, it's a great help. One niggle: the wording on the market page is a little misleading, implying that one may only have two of each breed of holiday dragon. It should be clarified that the limit on holiday dragons applies ONLY to cave-born dragons. Players can have as many bred holiday dragons as they wish or can get.

Flippin' 'eck as like! Trying to get a dino from Jungle is reminding me of the days of slow dial-up! One more hour and the drop will be over. This is getting - has got - silly. Hey ho.

24 hours would definitely be helpful.

@TJ09 thank you for extending the duration of the Hallowe'en egg drop. I very much appreciated being able to relax a bit and enjoy the game. It made a lot of difference to my daughter too. She wasn't able to get any eggs at all in the first 24 hours and was very pleased to find them still dropping later. I'm one of those calling for a full 24 hour monthly release. It gets very frenetic now there are so many more players, and by the time I can get to the cave on a Sunday the release is often almost finished.

Maybe it's just me, but I really wish the new egg drop could last a full 24 hours. I've spent most of today completely lacking any Internet access, as I often do on a Sunday. :'(

I really hope this drop is going to last long enough for those of us in other time zones to have a good chance of catching them. By the time I get online on a Sunday it's usually afternoon my time and a couple of hours later the new eggs stop dropping. Would it really be too much to ask to have a 24 hour drop so we all have a reasonable chance of getting new eggs? Please?

The bell! of course! Thanks Eiren - I can be incredibly dense at times 🙄

This is good news, but I can't find the Notifications page except by clicking on the link in TJ's post. Could someone tell me where it hides please?

Aarghh! Seven new releases and only three slots available! Why do I play this game? I need a life! Oh wait, we're coming up to a drop... I'm going in!

It's only mid-afternoon Cave Time, and already the release drop has ended. 😢 Can't the release drop even last for 12 hours?

Oh. Over already? I was hoping the drop would last for 24 hours to give those of us in different time zones a decent chance, but no such luck. It is apparently 20:15 Cave Time, and the drop has already finished. I've checked at various times during the day and not managed to get any of the larger eggs. There was never any shortage of the pygmy egg, but I decided not to be greedy so I'd have space for the others. Drat.

Also, you don't have to be in the same place. I know plenty of people who play D&D online, and apparently it works well.

Oh I say, two of them! Thanks, TJ

I completely agree. Advent means 'coming' or 'arrival' and is the four weeks immediately prior to Christmas. By all means have an event starting on Christmas day, but must it be called 'advent'?

I followed the link to the egg template (thank you Mewtie), but copy/paste into Paint or IrfanView only gives me a solid black square, regardless of my own colour/opacity settings. Can anyone help please?

I love my son! He's told me how to turn the sound off. On a computer, right click the tab at the top and select 'mute site'. Thanks, Tom!

Oh my goodness, that music! HOW DO I TURN IT OFF?

I take it this potentially affects all those with a forum account, regardless of frequency of posting? Thanks for all the work you do on this TJ. It's a game, and not a particularly challenging one, but it's fun and it gives me a distraction from Life. Thank you.
