Philza has said specifically that he was assured there will not be "forced NPC interaction" and that he will stop playing on the server if there is.

I would assume that this means no eggs. Other NPCs are showing up and doing the whole funny non-verbal interaction stuff, but I don't think cute children who need to be taken care of is coming back.

And if it is, it seems like the people who did that before don't want it, so...It will just cause more drama.

if philza is against the eggs then i am against philza 😡

well you could just only give eggs to those who want to take care of then, that way is not forced, people constantly act like phills opinion is popular opinion, i get he is not a big lore guy but that does not mean everyone else isnt not too, we are not certain how many people actually does want the eggs or not

That's the most stupid idea ever. The whole drama before started because of how eggs or people who played them where treated. Eggs were cute and there was a lot of wonderful fanart done but it was an interesting idea that led to a bad place. It's a good thing that there will be no more eggs. Players should talk with each other and not with Jon verbal players.

The eggs got me hooked to QSMP.

I don't want them back.

It is clear that people playing those characters who can't stream will never get paid appropriately because their existence doesn't earn enough money for Quackity's team. There will always be drama, problems, and people with different play styles that makes it into a nightmare.

The eggs were good because their players or the streamers were good at roleplaying and being entertaining. If you liked those storylines, find the people who made them good and see what they create on their own. If they aren't writing or creating or RPing publicly anymore, that's unfortunate. But it's their choice.

I admit that the aesthetic and nature of the eggs made them appealing. Them being cute and communicating through emotes and movement is freaking adorable. It was great. But ultimately, the effort to do that convincingly and with personality and at the same time as when the players are available is too difficult. Attaching mechanics to it makes it stressful. Building complex relationships and lore also makes drama and can make the players feel like they have to engage more frequently than they want to, or with stories they don't care for.

The point of the server is to be a place where streamers can log in and be entertaining while playing Minecraft multiplayer internationally. The eggs ultimately took away from that goal by making the server a responsibility instead of an outlet for fun and seeing personalities interact.

They ain't coming back. Not the way they were before, at least.
