    Since I have no interest in the hidden chests I assumed that is where the other color dragons also came from.

    Now that I know that only matriarch and chests have 83 and 84.  All those other color dragons running around are from Nest Maps which yall are here claiming that it is too difficult to get mature eggs from them.

    I can see why the devs are like they are.  Yall saying the nests don't give mature eggs and they are all over the game!!!  I'd call BS on this also.

    Call it what it is, yall are posting because you expect the drop rate to be where you play an hour you get a rare prize.   What about players who can play 6 to 10 hours a day?  They should be getting 10 rare items a day?

    You are not posting about anything broken, you just want the item you want to be not rare.

    The devs have to balance a game with a diverse player base.  Players have different skills, different styles of play, different physical abilities, and stubborn players who still wear the Mage suit on the clean up vendor and use EVs, and many other considerations.
    I don't care about or focus on the rarity of items; all I know is that for the past two weeks I've been playing for 5-7 hours every day, using a character with 5000 luck points to farm Dragon Nest and Dragon Queen too , and the result is still the same: I haven't gotten a single mature egg of any color. Now I'm thinking of praising this server and game every day, just like you, so maybe I'll have a chance to get a mature egg. And You also mentioned that players riding dragon mounts are everywhere in the city, but you didn't say that some of them whom bought them with in-game currency or real money. At least I bought mine with in-game currency.

    If you have been playing that much you've made enough in just looted gold to buy egg..

    Can you accumulate 500-600 million game coins to buy mature eggs by relying solely on the 2000-3000 game coins from each dragon queen? The ripe egg I bought cost all the in-game currency I had painstakingly accumulated from multiple game events—it was only enough to buy one ripe egg.

    Sell drops for gold is what he meant.   

    I agree with your karma take.   I got the obelisks from Mistas , every deco drop in NL. All because I chose a game to play in which I also find fun.  And I am a great person in general, who can make up a handle that is not stupid.
    Focus on what you can do, not what you can't.

    Depends on what shard you are on. 

    But, realistically no. With RMT, duping, and a lack of enforcement though the years, the UO economy is broken, probably beyond repair. Your best bet to buy one (without buying gold) is to build up a character farm something like Fan Dancers hoping for a good drop while getting decent gold (bring bags of sending with extra powders) or get with a good group and farm the Roof. 

    I am not sure if they are still selling for much, but, early on I was selling even drops for a decent amount.

    Even when there are no events, if you go to a champion to farm skill scrolls, red-named players will immediately raid the champion. How can you make money?

    I have to agree.

    First clarifying point is that "all those color dragons running around" isn't really a ton. There are by far 2-3x more blue/purple dragons out there compared to the other colors. The botted matriarch eggs are way more prevalent than other colors. Considering the mature eggs have been out 2 months now, I don't think there are many other colors at all.

    I've gone back and forth on the drop rate. My initial thought is that I do think it's too low considering all the different colors and wrestling ranges, but I guess it would be no different than trying to get a cameo from the roof... some people just seem to be luckier than others.

    That said, that's when I go back to thinking the drop rate needs to change because even when talking about the roof; the drop rate isn't too bad for a general drop (it might just not be a cameo). Doom is the same way but there is that guarantee drop system that after you build X points a drop is forced... I think that is how the eggs should be since that's pretty much what this game has turned into for almost everything else. 

    I have shifted over to doing chests (really out of boredom) and I've gotten 4 effigies in probably around 20-30 hours of dungeon crawling and no mature eggs yet. That just seems a bit backwards to me... I'd think that I'd probably should have gotten at 2 (half the amount of effigies) in that time period.
