for those of you who have dragon cave eggs,
who has been collection stuff for the trick or treating event? I already have 30
does anyone know what happen when you collect all (rumored to be 92) of them?
-
I'M not sure, I never heard of that thing. I got an egg, but I do not follow the Dragon Cave community that much.
-
it's not the community -- you can click on some images on the site (such as creepy eyes, candy canes, dragon fetuses in jars (relly creepy)) and they get added to yur trick or treat bag. It has nothing to do with the community in general, but I'm sure they're wondering about it too
here's a screenshot of what a trick or treating bag looks like:
-
I can't find that page anywhere ???
-
You have to click on the candy and stuff that shows up on the site to start your bag.
-
Ah I see now, I found it. Now to manage to add stuff...
-
I've gotten a couple of things, but haven't been actively clicking them.
-
Goddamnit that site is slow...
-
Yeah, it is. It makes the images in your sig load slow too.
-
Yeah, hence my comment earlier. If it becomes too hectic (like the server taking 30 seconds to respond most of the time), I'll have to remove all eggs from people signatures, since it messes with OmnomIRC. I guess the site might just be on a slow server or a shared hosting. Omnimaga had slow loading speeds when it got slashdotted and had 1800 people at once.
-
As long as people keep the number of eggs reasonable it shouldn't be a problem. Or maybe we could upload the images to {AP} Image Uploader.
-
I wonder if that would be against their rules, though (or break the script)
-
Well, as long as we link it back to them...
I don't know. We should really find out the copyright rules on it.
-
Well my concern is that maybe when you click an egg, a script is executed on their site that goes check the HTML code where was linked the dragon egg and if it's different, maybe it will report you
-
that's sounds like it might be true, but this sight seems relatively simple...
so {AP} might work. Who wants to test this?
/me runs and hides
EDIT: also I have like 50 trick or treating things now
-
Hmm, does the trick-or-treat thing change once a day or something?
-
no, there's a new item to pick up every 5-10 minutes
-
heres all of them: ;)

-
kk, it looks like I've got 9 out of 15 rows so far...
what does it give you if you complete it?
-
no idea. ??? I only have liike 5. :P
-
Wow, 5 for me only as well. I hardly find any X.x
However, I am sorry but I had no choice but to end the whole Dragon egg craze on this forum. They are hosted on a server that is so incredibly slow that it caused extremly slow loading times on the forums, preventing several things to load and when they did, it took nearly 30 seconds. The worst part is OmnomIRC. I checked the page loading and those eggs loads at 2 KB/second.
Until they fix their host, it's over. It's all fun but it's gonna scare away A LOT of members at this point, who will get tired of the loading problems.
I added a bad word filter that breaks images from their server.
-
well as long as links allow us to get views/clicks, and we can show off our dragons in the dragopn cave thread, I'm fine.
People just want views and clicks -- nobody cares about how many eggs you have anyways, just what type of dragons you have.
-
Yeah, and maybe they won't mind too much if we host the images externally, especially when the dragon matures.
-
Darn, trick-or-treating seems to be over. I only got six...
-
Same here :(
