I'm glad the event is gonna be soon over because that will mean way less problems for everybody.
Seems I'm one of the few, but I'm longing to go back to normal.


I don't think giving "free" eggs would be a good solution.
A browsing event is supposed to reward those who are often around, and people with several mules would get more "free" eggs -no matter if they were active or not. Then those who actually tried to hunt them will get mad because they made that effort and others are just receiving plenty of eggs for free :|

Also cuting the prices now that some people already bought items might be a problem, wouldn't it?

I'd personally prefer to have some full sets of those items auctioned by our admins when the event is over, so the event itself would not need to be modified in any way but we would get a chance to get those items we still need.
Just my two cents.

Auctionning would lead to rich people getting all the items. I mean, I won't spend 50k money on one item, and I'm sure a lot of people would. the items wouldn't be equally divided I think.

It seems there's no real solution to this - I hadn't thought about the mule issue x.x And lowering the prices now wouldn't be fair to those who already bought items, indeed.
I have to slightly disagree with you though, when you say this kind of event rewards those who are often around. Given the huge amount of eggs we need to gather, this kind of event doesn't encourage being active on the site : writing and posting something means losing time to browse continuously. I probably lost about 5-10 eggs while writing this. This kind of event tells us to browse without a purpose as fast as possible. I've never been so unactive on the site as I am since the event, and it's not only because of the lags, but because digging/feeding takes a lot of time, and I would rather collect eggs.
So, "often around" just means having time to spend on the computer, clicking continuously without doing anything else. I don't know how that's helping the site ;/
I don't really feel like I'm really on the site, since I'm doing other things while boringly browsing and waiting for eggs.
Browsing events are far from my favourites.

I also don't want to spend money for items I should have been able to get for free. If I'm just too lazy to collect eggs, okay, but not if I'm not able to because of the site.

That's also why I never liked clicking events. It's just many hours of stupid clicking and terribly boring. But for some it's easier than posting and you can get an unlimited amount of eggs (usually), while the amount is limited for others (5 hidden eggs daily for example). So you could collect more sets, which means more food later on. Guess that's why it's popular, but don't know for sure.


I wonder if it would be possible to make something like another part of the event with the same items, where everyone can work for their items, but not with clicking. Can't we just make a posting event or something for another week? Would be long easter, but well... it's also a long winter... ^^"

I actually really like that idea ! I think it would be a good way to make everybody happy, and it will prevent the servers from crashing.

I also preferred the last years Easter Event, when it was limited how many eggs you were able to find on server per day (was it around 5 - 8?).

I just don't get it how so many people have already got like whole another set of the egghunt event. I just a minute ago managed to find my last egg needed for one hairclip, and that's the only item I have bought from the Bunny Den.

*sigh* There's no way I'll find 150 eggs more to buy that light pink brooch.

Thanks, that was also what I thought. I don't mind to work for the items, as long as I get a chance to do so. ^^

Me too. I always liked the egg search, it was one of my favorite types of event and I hope it will come back next year. It makes more sense for an easter event anyway. I think it were 5 eggs per day.

Some people already collected many eggs before the site started lagging.

I agree with Firn - I'm one of the people who's managed to get all the items, and yeah, I've been a bit more active than I usually am, but I haven't been spending hours aimlessly clicking or anything. I just pushed through the lag even when it was at its worst, that's the only reason I got so many eggs. If there hadn't been as much lag I wouldn't even have had to be extra active, I don't think, I could have just been on the site as much as I usually am and that would have gotten me enough eggs. I know a lot of people are upset they couldn't get the items they wanted, but honestly everyone saying that the event wasn't fair or that only cheaters or obsessive people could get all the items is a little upsetting to me. All I did was have plenty of free time and try pretty hard.

That said, I do kind of agree with the people asking for the event to be extended - in a different way than it currently is, like a posting event for a few days or so, to let people who haven't had the chance to earn their eggs actually have a chance. I think we can all agree that this current style of event can't work if we have cheaters (and the cheaters don't seem willing to stop), but I don't think that's a reason to 'punish' people who didn't have the time or patience to suffer through the lag like I did. Giving them a different way to earn eggs is still in the spirit of the event, I think.

This is exactly the point. You would have needed lots of freetime to get all the eggs this time and not everyone can spend the whole day clicking.
Congrats btw for getting the items! ^^


I do agree that the amount of eggs needed is not very high. I was also shocked the first moment, but the eggs pop up very quickly and so it's easy to collect many in short time. I do like it that way. It's true that it's way more motivating if the eggs pop up more often and so I'm okay with the prices. Because of that it's a shame that the event became such a mess.

I also do agree that the amount of time needed is okay. Usually. If all would have worked out fine, it would have been no problem at all to collect the eggs. It should have taken about 1h per day, which is okay.

So, yes, the event was a failure. But what now? Is there any possibility we get another chance to get the items anyway? Maybe with another type of event? Would be such a pity if not. =(

Firn, I don't think anyone blames you for listening to users and bringing back a type of event so many wanted. It's not your fault it didn't work.

Judging by the discussion people have now had about the eggs, I don't find any other outcome to my difficulties to find almost any eggs, than that I just have terribly bad luck. I browse usually very long times (talking about hour or two, sometimes even a little bit longer), but maybe I still don't browse enough to find eggs. After all, I really enjoy making new dream avatars, which is not so much browsing, and writing messages even as long as this one, also takes time from browsing all over. Plus usually I want to read EVERYTHING people have written on some specific topics, so it also takes much time for me, since english is not my native language. It's much more easier for me to understand english, than write it, though.
However, there's so much more english speaking people on KofK, and it is language everyone can understand, that it's not much of a thing to complain, and that I won't do.

I think it is impossible to ever create a perfect event everyone would enjoy. As I previously said, I enjoyed more the last years easter event, with bounded amount of eggs to collect per day. The plantations are also very pleasant, this years even better than the last year's, since this one is a little bit more complicated and thus, a bit more rewarding. BUT, not too difficult.

If I could suggest somekind of easter event for the next year, I have on in mind.
Every easter, no matter where, it is a classic little game for children or anyone, to search eggs from different places. Here on KofK, the searching area have usually been the whole server, where eggs have randomly popped up. My idea is (it may take too much effort from Firn and sarkad) that what if Firn creates some kind of pretty easter themed "wallpaper" where is hidden eggs among different kinds of stuff. The game would be much like "Find 5 Mistakes", but there would be time in which you have to find as many hidden eggs as you can. When time runs out, you can play the game again after 24 hours, and you achieved the amount of eggs you found. The eggs could be hidden in different places every day, the wallpaper could change, or you should for example find specific colored eggs depending on the day.
On Facebook, "The Hidden Chronicles" is much like this game I suggested.

Well, maybe that one is too hard to create, but it sounded like a good idea?
