It's called Building Hype - a very common advertising tactic to get people interested and talking. All the talk and chatter about speculation is a desired reaction. They want people to talk about it, argue, think, and ultimately try and see if they were right or wrong.

How many times have you passed a bilboard on the road that had no, or almost no, information on the product, but a very vague promise that More Will Come Later - it's called a Hook.

Works like a charm.

As for the Dark Right, well, the only thing that said it would be 'forever imprinted' was the Rift Egg Edifice. And that became a Rift Egg Light Egg Pedestal - as promise, forever imprinted with the first dragon through.

There's no reason to believe one way or the other that we won't get Dark Rift Dragons, getting an egg pedastal is now our own problem.

Also, the breeding rules are kind of awesome and I'm glad they finally fixed the bug that allowed X+X=X 100% of the time. Makes things interesting, as Wolfie said it was a glitsh they let go for a while. I wouldn't have allowed that bug to stay around for so long personally, but there you have it.
