But is it still fun if you don't have to sell your soul for pixels anymore?

People are incredibly nice, tbh, on this site. After I returned, it was just such a breath of fresh air, because everyone was just so kind. 😊 Oh, that's just... ulp. ☹️ But yeah, I suppose--

firedawn • 6 Jan 2020, 6:28 PM

XD Very true! And the song is very intensely good... speaking of, do you have any song recs? ^^

It really would have! But then again, I think it must come with a bunch of regrets... like selling creatures or missing out on some CSPs that end up being worth like, 20kCC now :')

firedawn • 5 Jan 2020, 5:25 PM

Thank you, I need those prayers. xD (They really do grow! o.O I'm scared. Your entire wall and a little more. This is crazy. XD)

firedawn • 5 Jan 2020, 5:24 PM

Honestly, that sounds kind of fun. Donating things and watching it. I should do that someday. xD But yeah... wish it was used more. :\ There was a period when @asi was gifting everyone that everybody was frantically reloading the AC / DC, haha. It was crazy lol.

firedawn • 5 Jan 2020, 5:22 PM

At least the rebirth potion exists lmao, no more stage swaps.

CC Stats are always so bad tbh, cause there's so many that don't fall within the clicks and all that. And it's so easy for mistakes to happen. Ahh! I'm praying for your Faunan too. C'mon. Just a little more. xD

firedawn • 5 Jan 2020, 5:19 PM

Oh, that would be awesome. And my cove could last in perpetual winter. Sign me up! xD

Ugh, yeah. I mean, there is the Turkey thing in November, but it's also such a paltry CC amount that it won't help too much. Eggcave: making living the dream cove's life harder by the minute.

firedawn • 5 Jan 2020, 5:17 PM

Solises are so adorable. I can't even. :'D And thank you, haha. It took too many botched trades and cost me many a creature. So worth it, though. ❀️

Well, if you're not sure which to get... all of the above's always an option. :') But then... y'know. Poor wallet.

firedawn • 5 Jan 2020, 5:15 PM

β€”myself, so I usually just nab the turtle CSPs available (if they are!) whenever possible.

Getting a ton of Trasks sounds like a good plan! 😊 I wish you all the best for your CC count. :') And it'll definitely be worth it, don't worry, it's only at the expense of your sanity.

firedawn • 5 Jan 2020, 5:12 PM

I'm remembering when underoffering was the worst thing anyone could do, and overoffering either meant not knowing your values or just being kind. Now... wow. :\

The new CSPs have my heart, honestly 😊 And maybe! πŸ˜ƒ Are you gonna buy them on your birthday? ^^ I'm a May babyβ€”

firedawn • 5 Jan 2020, 5:10 PM

-- getting their dream creatures as they worked their way up the ladder. But now it's just so rigid it's unreal. Especially w/ CC being the basis of the economy, and rare creatures being so devoid that anyone could set any overprice. :\

And oh, that sounds quite sad. :\

firedawn • 5 Jan 2020, 5:08 PM

Ohh okay. Agh, that's so annoying! :\ I wish Eggcave could circulate some older creatures... effectively, in a way that doesn't rely on quest grinding. I feel like that before, getting older creatures w/ newer ones was a lot more fluid, and so users could have a easier time--

firedawn • 5 Jan 2020, 5:05 PM

Oh, it used to be incredibly active before! Everyone would talk to anyone, sometimes trades, sometimes not. I have 139 pages on my wall backlogged... which says a lot about the time back then. :') You're one of the most I've talked to on here recently too, so. 😊

firedawn • 5 Jan 2020, 5:02 PM

Ah okay. I can see why it can be an anxiety-starter... what with the pressure to finish quests, the reliance on RNG and such. I haven't rolled once on the VEND yet, but it is kind of terrifying to imagine your untold hours of work turned into a... Vitta? xD

firedawn • 5 Jan 2020, 4:59 PM

That's a shame. :\ I feel like EC's turned too much into a "survival of the fittest" game, in a sense that the players have to vy for older creatures, and the ones who do get them persist (and get addicted), and the ones who don't quit. Is it a weird way to think about it? xD

firedawn • 5 Jan 2020, 4:57 PM

β€”things I don't like about EC is that a pixel you love the design of is called a dream because it's so hard to get. I mean. It's just pixels, c'mon EC. :') But that's a really good mentality 😊 I'm content with my cove, too, but my problem's the freezes/rebirths I need... oh boy

firedawn • 5 Jan 2020, 4:55 PM

β€” through everyone's generosity. 😊 But then again, with more people comes a bit more toxicity, so. ^^; Yeah... I feel like it's quite unusual how everyone's so forward w/ putting RL money into this game nowadays. πŸ˜‹ Or maybe it's just me.

And ah, yeah. :\ That's one of the--

firedawn • 5 Jan 2020, 4:53 PM

-- before too. πŸ˜‹ I mean... wayyy back then you could trade a Mo for two Tines, so that was a interesting part of EC history I wish I was part of. :') But it was really funβ€” everyone was super active and was super nice, it was really how I got started on this siteβ€”

firedawn • 5 Jan 2020, 4:51 PM

Don't worry about it! 😊 It usually takes me some time to reply as well. ^^ Haha, I just listened to it again... no song stuck, thankfully(? or not, it's really good, been quite nice having it in my head. xD)

I understand that feeling, tbh, because I've felt the same--

firedawn • 4 Jan 2020, 6:55 AM

(I've also literally filled your wall, I'm sorry. xD)

firedawn • 4 Jan 2020, 6:55 AM

Let's not talk about my sanity. πŸ˜‹ It's not nice to talk about things behind their backs xD

Haha, I'm glad I could make you laugh. 😊 Let's hope that prayer for my sanity works out, I'm gonna need it. πŸ˜‹

firedawn • 4 Jan 2020, 6:53 AM

--spent on special creatures. Nope. That terror's gonna be for another day. XD

Well, you know, the Donation Centre does exist... *winks* Ian, please...

Hey, that's nice! 😊 Changing the feeling of your cove and a money-saver. I should learn from you. xD

firedawn • 4 Jan 2020, 6:47 AM

It's just... bad. And honestly, 1500 clicks for the Huhu to evolve into its last stage?! I can't even manage my Yulilia, what more do I have to do? xD Lol, me neither, I really shouldn't be on this game. I'm so impatient. :')

:') I'm not going to talk about how much was--

firedawn • 4 Jan 2020, 6:44 AM

It's awful. I do not recommend having many creatures. My poor wallet... I'm not even going to talk about my side accounts. XD

It should be worth the CC, but now, if I can actually find the CC... :') And that's very true! As long as you're happy 😊 My wallet won't be.

firedawn • 4 Jan 2020, 6:41 AM

-- hopefully I do manage to find one. 😊

XD Oh my god, I laughed out loud at that. Same, I wish I could wield the coldness in Britain to ice my creatures... I shall pray hard for it. xD Wonder where in the world Eggcave freezes our creatures... hmm...

firedawn • 4 Jan 2020, 6:39 AM

- overoffering, haha. 😊 My favourite creature's the Child Stage Solis, I just... it's so adorable... I can't. :') I'm still shocked that I managed to get one, tbh, it really felt like a four years-long dream creature.

Thank you ^^ Eggcavity's a great help for travels, so--

firedawn • 4 Jan 2020, 6:37 AM

Lontos are ❀️ - and oh, I do get the appeal in Trasks, the Teen Stage is just. 😊 I'll probably just get one, though 😊 (I'm CC-less haha.) And oh, that's awesome! πŸ˜ƒ You can get as much as you want (well, as much as CC permits you) since it's available, and no need for --

firedawn • 4 Jan 2020, 6:34 AM

Wow, that sounds a lot worse than I initially thought. Overoffering... I'm not even going to get started on that, ugh, or else I'm gonna spam your wall a lot more. xD Hopefully it will get fixed. But yeah, pessimistically speaking, unless VEND gets better, likely not ☹️

firedawn • 4 Jan 2020, 6:17 AM

I'm glad there's the VEND, but in some other ways, it doesn't feel exactly... enough. Interactions between users have gone down as well (imo), and that's honestly pretty sad.

Are there really only recent CSP creatures for trade/sale if you're lucky? :\

firedawn • 4 Jan 2020, 6:14 AM

I really do find it sad how there's barely any rare creatures in circulation, and that when there is it sounds like a big event. It sucks how people are quitting because the economy's too hard to break into, and that old wishlist creatures are practically impossible. :\

firedawn • 4 Jan 2020, 6:07 AM

It was a really nice economy back then. 😊 So many more people were active, and trades were abundant. But CC was also pretty scarce back then, because nobody was really willing to pour in RL money for this game. Times have changed. xD
