I liked the way they used to do the eggs, they were on certain pages and there were only a certain number a day per account, so botting wouldn't help you, and there wasn't a lag problem.

I haven't even been trying for the eggs, I gave up, I've just considered myself lucky if I can log in to collect my troth tokens and not have my eggplants wither and die, but I'm getting server refused connection and internal server errors or just pages that never load without giving me an error message, and I can't sit around all day trying to get into the site most days.

I'm glad Firn and Starkad decided to add the captchas, but there's sadly still some serious lag going on. :(

Right now, the lag is insane. I was able to feed my knuffel and dig last night because it cleared up a bit, but it's as bad as ever, now.

I really don't think that bot events are fair to regular users, since they ruin the game for people that aren't even participating, and if you don't run a bot, you basically can't play, since the prices for everything in the shop are so high now. I actually like the items, but what can I get with 12 easter eggs? Half the time for some reason I fail the captcha, too, and I'm *not* a bot!

The captchas aren't working.

If you keep failing the captchas I don't know what anyone can do - they seem pretty easy to me if you put a small amount of thought into what you're doing, so all I can say is try paying a little more attention? It's the same test the materials have always used, which works fine for most people.

I do agree though that the lag is not much improved. At times the site seems to be much faster, but just as often it'll slow to a crawl again. I don't know what can be done about that, though.

However, the idea that you can't do well in the event without a bot is just silly. I have over a thousand eggs, and I've gotten them all without even the smallest amount of cheating, just steady clicking throughout the day while doing other things; I haven't even been that dedicated to it, I'll often go wander off for a couple of hours and not get any eggs at all. You can play this event just fine without a bot, I think it's a little unfair to all of us who are doing so to say you can't.

I do not know how you are supposed to get the huge amount of eggs which is needed to purchase items in the bunny den.

I got 14 eggs and 6 days left.
Most of the time the website was too laggy to joyfully search for eggs.

It is kind of understandable why users cheated for this event.

(I hope you can understand my English)

Granted the really bad lag that started a few days ago has made collecting eggs hard, but it wasn't an impossible task. I believe it was only around 100 eggs per day needed if you were here from the beginning. That's totally achievable.

These events are just some added fun, something extra for people to do. It's not an invitation for those too lazy to try to resort to cheating. It isn't understandable at all. Those that have that mentality and cheat to get things are the ones that ruin things like this for everybody else.

Cheaters suck and the lag is annoying. Seriously, is it really that hard to collect eggs on your own without using some dumb program? Sorry, but this pisses me off. I love these kind of events and if cheaters are spoiling it for me and others that makes me angry!
I've been trying to do my regular stuff on KofK, but because of the lag even the Eggplantation is hard to manage because I keep getting errors. I just failed a captcha test because of the lag. The test reloaded for some reason after not loading the page 4 times. I don't think I'm going to try to collect more eggs because I'm afraid I'll fail more captcha tests and get banned for something I can't help.
I'm sorry things turned out this way Firn with the Easter Event! Good luck with your thesis!
