Consider this: Your first day on this site, all of your eggs fail to hatch, even at full incubation, and you're left without a pet for the day. Worse still, this streak of bad luck continues the next day or two.

This is what I experienced, and what others with equally bad luck will also probably will. I wasn't too bothered, but this is an issue the site has to consider as it'd give new players a pretty bad impression and scare some off, especially as the majority of the dailies require a pet, and they're stuck without one for a day or two...

So I propose a 'tutorial egg' that is the most common species of whichever world the player picked. The egg cannot be traded or sold and is a guaranteed hatch, and cannot be released for money upon hatch (I predict that'd be a d'oh move for some too). It can be released or traded afterwards though.

I like the idea of something like this. I don't see how it would have a negative impact and it would help retain new users

Good idea
