A few hours, working with three computers, has only put me at 1750! This is terrible! I want them all but this is exhausting. I'm on a movie and a half now, trying to fight boredom.

3200 eggs 1 to 5 with mostly 1 and 15 seconds delay? No thanks. i'll work for the oreo guard. The rest can burn for all i care.

I guess they wanted to make it harder to finish this without using FEEz.

You have three computers that you play this game on? *raises an eyebrow*  I would think that would make it confusing. I just did the 'search for player" with 3 letters, like "ann" and went down the list.  But even doing it that way, the new 15 second rule made it harder and after all day of only getting 800 eggs... I went ahead and bought the rest with feez.

Most likely.

Possibly they also want to reduce the number of calls to their server. OMD may use small graphics most the time, but when you consider that some dolls have hundreds, if not thousands of items in a loft, and a lot of dollz visit that one doll, well, still a lot of server overhead.

Reducing the number of dollz page loads with a time restriction should work in theory - but I think rather fails when we have to go back and reload the page.  If they could program this event to do pop-up a message like when we work, that would cut a lot of page calls right there.

And if they are going to do a cool down period, it would be nice if they displayed it somewhere!

That doesn't mean I like this anymore than anyone else.  I just despise a few other pet peeves more with this style of event.  And I still wish we had pretty Easter baskets/trunks instead of grubby halloween ones to open.

The only less boring way to collect eggs for me is while I watch some random/funny videos on YouTube or 9gag.. it's not that bad and you can see in a video how many seconds have passed and be sure it's more than 15 seconds. It's not that bad when you get used to it and I don't really think about it anymore and just click it almost automatically. So far I've got 2 prizes for 1600 eggs and 800 eggs, probably gonna finish it tomorrow.

Don't give up guys, it's possible, you can do it!

6 hours (a little less) with three computers to get 3000 eggs. This is a test trail. Meaning they are seeing how many people will just dish out real money. And since so many people have, this will probably be the future of the hunts. :/

so you pause the video every 15 seconds? wont that make it... um... not really funny?

well, not necessarily

I mean, it literally takes like 2 seconds to click for egg hunting when you already have a few different tabs opened :D

I got 2400 eggs for bigger 2 chests,  but next time I don't think I'll bother. Very frustrating.
I discovered (when I was way over half way done) that if I log on on chrome and firefox at the same time, I can avoid waiting 15 seconds if I alternate between them. Similar idea to Aluralegend's 3 computers. I only used 2 browsers so I had to wait 2-3 seconds in between, but it was still much preferable to 15. :) I hope that helps someone if we get  another hunt with delay.

I found that when using Chrome, switching into incognito mode can also help. I had the equivalent of 3 computers by having 2 Chrome windows (1 incognito, 1 normal) and one Safari browser open. This meant I didn't have to wait 15 seconds at all.

The multiple browser idea seems easier. Haha figures I would do things the hard way. And most people don't have as many computers so this idea is good for more people if they decide to keep this timer idea again.

It's terrible that so many had to miss out because of that time restriction!! I really really hope they don't do this again!
