Day 7

[alicit]

The new egg is dropping in the Volcano:

This plain-looking egg has faint speckles.

ETA: I have clicked on the Breed action of the new Bloodscale dragons (mine just grew up), and the old Splits appear on the list, yay!

Ah! Quote from Fiona Bluefire on the rarity of the coppers:

"I"m just going to go on record now and say these are not classed as rares. They were never intended to be rare, despite what some think they remember seeing. They were intended to be fairly common (not cave blocker common) and I checked with TJ to make sure I was allowed to say that THEY ARE NOT RARE! Cuz they're not. A bit uncommon, maybe.

I can't control how hard they become to catch due to popularity, but they are not gold/silver rare."

Whew! That's a relief!

Oh, good to know! Thanks - I'm a lot more relaxed now.

[alicit]

Definitely a relief! But I'll still try to catch them as soon as possible.

[ragdoll]

Oh, that's great to know! I just hope they're not Blusang Rare either. I swear those are harder to come by now than Silvers or Golds!

I am afraid that, being spread through all the biomes, getting them will be more difficult than if they were all in one place. I tried today for two and a half hours and didn't even see one. The Coast is still blocked, TJ doesn't seem to understand that to make this biome more dynamic, what he needs is to reduce the amount of caveblockers, either change the ratios so they are not so abundant, or move some of them so they show somewhere else too; the Jungle moves slightly faster, but I didn't see any Coppers. The Desert is as fast as usual, but no Coppers there either. Today's new eggs are falling in the Volcano and, though there are other eggs mixed with the new ones, not a Copper to be seen. No luck in the Forest either (very slow) or the Alpine biome so, in the end, I just grabbed another of the new eggs.

Also, the lag! It improved slightly after I installed the add-on "NO Google Analytics" for Firefox, but it was still annoying.

Ugh, yeah, that's probably going to be the problem over all. I just tried to look for one for my mom (we just swapped a Day 7 egg for her sole green one), and didn't see one anywhere. The coastal area was moving a bit -- saw several black caps and several saltys, but I got her another Day 7 in the Volcano area since I don't have much patience today.

I hope that, if nothing else, the Coppers might yield different colors when bred, kind of like the Stripes or the Dorsals. Otherwise...ugh. Nightmare.

I'll try the No Google Analytics on my FF too.

The cave is lagging like no one's business though. I can't even check my scroll without having to wait like 15-30 seconds between refreshes. *kicks it*
