Trivia

This Festival of Eggs was also known as "the Glitch Festival".

• At first there were 56 eggs to collect, but one egg glitched and therefore was removed by TJ09.

“

One egg glitched so TJ changed the first post to read 55 eggs.

– Rubyshoes ^{(Forum Post)}

• The egg that glitched was made by TCA. In the Most annoying things that happen on DC! thread on the forums, she posted:

“

Making an egg for the Easter event and having it glitch and be removed because the URL got messed up, and then no confirmation as to whether or not it might get re-added so you don't know if you can post it for everyone to see.

– TCA ^{(Forum post)}

• TCA later posted her egg in the news thread for the event:

“

Since it seems pretty much a thing that my egg isn't getting re-added at this point, I'll go ahead and post it so everyone can see what could have been ;w;



It's a reference to Skies of Arcadia.

– TCA ^{(Forum post)}

• When asked what caused the glitch:

“

I'm not a hundred percent sure, but from what I was told it was a problem with the URL being too long... because it had to have my username in it and my username was too long?

The hexagon was the symbol of Silver Magic.

– TCA ^{(Forum post)}

• Spriters of previous FoE events erroneously received a second, regular badge. This glitch was later fixed.
  
• User PrincessLucy showed that she had a duplicate JOTB's gold egg in her basket, visible by herself and other users. This glitch was later fixed.
