Hi Finch,
Glad to hear that you have been enjoying Res so far. I just would like to answer some of your questions so your mind will be cleared off with this.
[Monopoly in Names]
Though it seems like old players have an advantage with pretty cool names, there are still unknown names there which are still pretty awesome and haven't been used yet. And besides, you can always buy names from old players if you really want to. Saving up for a name can be fun goal in Res.
[Hatching Limit]
When I also first started on Res, I was kinda sad with the hatching limit as well. Come to think about it, the hatching limit was imposed in order to maintain the value of the pets on site and to NOT have a lot of them running around here. On a completely technical note, if we have unlimited hatches, it means more pets and more data storage to be allocated for them.

[Changing Planet of Residence]
As of the moment, there is no way for one person to change the planet where he is living. Yes, there are some planet exclusive things on site like the fishing hole but you can access that when you buy an Atquati VISA, however, this item is not being sold on site and is now being sold by older players at a really high price.
Hope these responses have resolved some of the questions on your mind. Welcome to Res.
