Egg cap? Can it be increased?

I've noticed the egg cap is 5, but I see some users have more than 5 (unfrozen eggs), is it because they're donors or they've been given an increased egg cap? How do you get your egg cap increased if it is possible? >.< :srs:

Egg limit has been raised to 5 for everyone - it used to be 4 in the past. It is sometimes upped during events too. Donors can have up to 7 but the last 2 they get have to be donor eggs - they can't have 5 eggs and then pick up 2 stream eggs. Or if they want to they can buy 7 donor eggs in one shot.

There isn't any extra way to increase your egg limit right now. I'd love it if the egg cap were 6 and then the two doni eggs but they do that more for events right now and that's how it's been done for a long time.

Personally, I'd love it to be 6 normal eggs (stream, bred, or shop) and two doni eggs. And I would have loved a quest for that extra sixth slot to be able to attain it. Then during events they should increase the normal egg limit by two extra, which means you'd have a total of 8 (stream, bred, or shop) and two doni eggs for a grand total of 10 eggs....of course that's me dreaming and I really thought we had been doing this by now but it hasn't happened and don't know if it ever will.

This sounds absolutely perfect. With the huge number of creatures we now have, a 6 egg limit/8 events just makes sense.

You do have a 6 egg limit, if the 6th egg is from the Taggelisk daily quest.

Like Danafox, I mean 6 regular stream/shop/bred eggslots, not counting the egg you get from the Taggelisk quest. I don't really count that as a sixth egg slot since the only eggs it's good for are the three taggelisk ones.

It's actually more like having a "floating" eggslot *just* for those eggs, because you can actually do the quest and get the egg whether you are egglocked with 5 stream/shop/bred creatures, or egglocked with the whole seven (5 regular/2 doni) and end up with EIGHT eggs total.

At Solstice, I was able to get a Taggelisk egg even when I was was locked with the full eight eggs (5 regular + 1 extra holiday slot + 2 doni slots), giving me a total of nine eggs, so I am pretty sure it is designed to give you an egg no matter what number of slots you happen to have filled.

I'm going to test it at Magiversary (as I am assuming that is the next gifting event) and see if the quest will give me an egg after I have filled ALL my available eggslots, THEN opened my gifts too. :devil:

I'll chime in and say my choice would be to raise the total to 6 catching/breeding/shop slots + 2 donation slots.
Then getting 8 + 2 for events.

I might as well join in as well :lol:

At first I was thinking that people are always going to want more slots, and even If its raised they will just want it raised again.. its just human nature. But then I've been reading and Danafox and Graveworm are right. There have been SOOO many new creatures added, and there are hundreds of different ones in the stream. Why hasn't the egg limit been increasing with all the new additions? Unless you are a fast hatcher and not working, you can't get all your daily quest creatures, stream, shop, and breed (ect). To me I actually think it seems silly there has only been one increase.

All in all, I think its not far off to be asking for another slot increase. I do agree we need another one now.

But of course that's just my opinion! I hope I don't step on anyways toes being so forward *hides from conflict*

Like I said in my previous post, I'd love a sixth egg slot, and I think it would be cool if it were a quest we'd have to complete as a community as a whole, so that in the end, everyone gets the 6th egg slot. I think that would be really fun to do together.

It's true that we have almost 1000 creatures and we've seen very little increase in permanent egg slots (only one in what ten years?) but to be fair, we have had temporary increases through out the years for events and I know that everyone in the community has appreciated that and enjoyed it, so thank you to the staff for that.

I don't think asking for a 6th slot is too much. We have soooo many critters here and such a small capacity for them with limited slots.

Not to be like, "well this other site does this, so we should too" or anything, but VoU gives players 100 egg slots. Which I think is fair for that site, considering how many different creatures they have on there and that their event creatures are handed out/handled differently than on here (on there, you can't get 100 rare event critters and end up devaluing them that way).

I'm in no way saying we should have that many slots here, cause that would cause things to devalue quickly, especially if everyone could have that many event eggs at one time. :lol: Stream grabbing would be a nightmare too.

But 6 egg slots would be fair and a nice even number. ^_^

Just my two cents. xD
