Ok, here's the problem is. A player abuse this bug by packet sniffer.
It makes the player to be able to spawn lots of pets, consuming eggs. But the pets cannot be controled (feed/action/follow the owner).

Here's how it probably does:

Record the packet when using the pet incubator (not hatching the egg yet).
Then, when hatching the egg, send the packet.

It causes the egg selection menu (which egg to hatch) to be opened.
Then keep repeating the whole process to abuse pet hatching.

It cause the server laggy with full of pets (players thought ti was mobs).
We cant kick the pets until server restart.

I'm not really sure/remember well the method. It was a long time ago bug but kept underground-ed by abusers.
