FR wont even load for me, you guys are luckier than I. xD
I have to admit, this was not a brilliant idea.
It's well known by everyone that the servers can hardly handle the load of players on a normal day, so to make an event like this that involves the coli wasn't very smart. I never go to the coli but I do now, because dragon. Thats a whole bunch more people on the cvoli that normally wouldnt be and they probably weren't accounted for.
TBH it should have just been done as a one day adoption event, much simpler.
A lot of online sights do this already, CS, Neopets, etc.
Would people have missed out? Yes.
Would they complain? Yes.
But thats with everything, but at least this way more people would have had the dragon, thus making them easier to get through breeding and selling.
