Hey the markings on the egg is on the Tarsier #ILLUMINATICONFIRMED @icesparkle22 (<---- Totally need you to see this exposure)

icesparkle22 • 30 Jan 2017, 6:34 PM

@common_hoard. ooooh #EXPOSED OMMMGM WE FOUND THE ILLUMINATI

@megadash Yeah, It'll be a logical adjustment "next time". It would not be fair to those who paid at current price this time.

poptarts • 30 Jan 2017, 8:18 PM

@megadash He has to make money somehow to keep the site up an running. X3

megadash • 30 Jan 2017, 8:21 PM

@poptarts I know. As I said, I usually defend him on this, but it's starting to get out of hand. If he keep this up it can kill the site too

shale • 30 Jan 2017, 8:26 PM

Looks great!

lunar • 30 Jan 2017, 8:36 PM

I personally find it appealing to have the option of buying a 200cc creature. Its easier to get more off, and feels like you are spending...

lunar • 30 Jan 2017, 8:36 PM

your money for more. Rather than 500cc for one creature, and maybe 200 if you want to freeze.

poptarts • 30 Jan 2017, 8:56 PM

@megadash Hmm, I don't see how it can kill the site. Plus it never stated whether the whale would be in the Cash Shop, unless I missed (1/2

poptarts • 30 Jan 2017, 8:57 PM

@megadash something. X3 But regardless it's better than ian making everyone pay a monthly membership to be able to play on this site. 😸

megadash • 30 Jan 2017, 8:58 PM

@poptarts 1.) I'd wager you that it's going to be. Most SE eggs are. 2.) Watch the Extra Credits videos on YT on F2P sites and you'll see.

poptarts • 30 Jan 2017, 9:04 PM

@megadash Not sure what SE means? ;-; I'm not up with the new slang words. XP I'm getting old. But regardless I'm sure people will buy it.

poptarts • 30 Jan 2017, 9:04 PM

@megadash And I think it's nice that eggcave seems to be listening to peoples wants on making the whale? And that chicken I think?

poptarts • 30 Jan 2017, 9:05 PM

@megadash Thought I saw a post on the chicken somewhere in the forums not to long ago. Might be my imagination though? Can't remember. X3

megadash • 30 Jan 2017, 9:08 PM

@poptarts SE = "Special Event," YT= YouTube, and F2P = "Free-2-Play." I only have 140 in these posts.

spell • 30 Jan 2017, 9:20 PM

I don't really think its really being greedy ^^" On certain other sites they might only release 2 new pets each month that you can buy with

spell • 30 Jan 2017, 9:21 PM

real money but those sites typically have less free material as well, on Eggcave there are a lot of creatures being added all the time

spell • 30 Jan 2017, 9:22 PM

for everyone as well as CC buyers ^^ Plus the CRWs were all available in the cave 😋

novrain62 • 30 Jan 2017, 9:54 PM

Someone has to support Egg Cave with their hard earned money to keep this site going. In 7 years it's come a long way. I'm proud to support!

novrain62 • 30 Jan 2017, 9:56 PM

CRW was 7 days long 24/7 FREE. So can't complain there either. He even gave us 25 tries instead of 10 and yet someone has to complain.

novrain62 • 30 Jan 2017, 9:57 PM

Can't please everyone, but I'd say over all, he deserves all the credit and non of the complaints. He even lets us give feedback about V3.

novrain62 • 30 Jan 2017, 9:58 PM

So really, in the grand scheme of things we all win win in one way or another. Thank goodness for CC buyers!! This creature is Adorable!

commmonsdragrawr • 30 Jan 2017, 10:43 PM

Is this creature going to be a CC creature? Or cave? @ian @orderedchaos @jazzyleia @april_ ?

commmonsdragrawr • 30 Jan 2017, 10:44 PM

@megadash i don't think he's greedy i think he's running a hard running site. he has to keep CC creatures in, or YOU wouldn't be here ☚ī¸

icymuffin • 31 Jan 2017, 12:00 AM

@megadash But CRW creatures have always (barring the first one) been put in the CSP afterwards? Plus it used to be 250?

icymuffin • 31 Jan 2017, 12:01 AM

In addition to 2 CSP only CRW creatures? Ian reduced the price by 50CC and removed CSP exclusive creatures

icymuffin • 31 Jan 2017, 12:01 AM

so I don't think it's fair to say he's getting greedy.

yoyolee • 31 Jan 2017, 12:41 AM

Gonna chip in here and agree with @megadash. I think he's not talking about CRW specifically but the increase in 200CC creatures in general

yoyolee • 31 Jan 2017, 12:42 AM

I remember lots of free limited edition creatures, but these past few months were I started playing again... nothing.. just 200CC releases

leafmelody • 31 Jan 2017, 2:26 AM

I don't think @Ian is getting greedy at all 😱 Compare how many creatures from the cave there are and how many in the CSP: Clearly there are

leafmelody • 31 Jan 2017, 2:27 AM

many more creatures from the cave o.O Plus, how many users are on this site?! It must be so hard to manage already >~< But as a non đŸ’ĩ

leafmelody • 31 Jan 2017, 2:30 AM

buyer, like many others on this site, I can't really say anything as I cannot relate 😋 But as @novrain92 said CRW was basically for free 😱

leafmelody • 31 Jan 2017, 2:30 AM

This is really good already and I honestly can't complain bout that o.o It makes it nice for us non đŸ’ĩ buyers like me 😋

thedarkarcher • 31 Jan 2017, 4:43 AM

am i the only one who feels bad for @ian he still is a person after all 😋 people complain about the lack of creatures one minute than they

thedarkarcher • 31 Jan 2017, 4:44 AM

complain about having too many......really. i mean look at the new creature out that was definitely csp worthy but he probably thought of

thedarkarcher • 31 Jan 2017, 4:45 AM

the amount already in the csp already just give the guy a least a little credit 😃

shirona • 31 Jan 2017, 7:05 AM

Seriously? It takes money to keep a domain running. Guess some people would rather not have an eggcave at all than spend time

shirona • 31 Jan 2017, 7:06 AM

feeding for EC to trade for CC to buy a 200cc creature. Rates dropped to nothing during glados & others' auctions so if non-CC

shirona • 31 Jan 2017, 7:08 AM

buyers failed to take advantage of the situation that's their fault. I got 4k CC for 10mil btw. Also, there's plenty of "free" creatures

shirona • 31 Jan 2017, 7:10 AM

that retain their "value". Had an amazing plot last year, just finished CRW, got Choc exchange, easter egg hunt, and Halloween fair

shirona • 31 Jan 2017, 7:11 AM

now to look forward to. Remember that this site is a business to Ian while it's just a game we play for fun and can quit at any time.

asbe • 31 Jan 2017, 7:27 AM

C'mon, what's wrong with CSP critters? I like the idea of supporting the site. And it's not greedy on their part.

asbe • 31 Jan 2017, 7:28 AM

Greedy are users getting CSP creatures for cheap from naive and/or kind people and selling it later for CC. I had an experience with 'em.

asbe • 31 Jan 2017, 7:33 AM

Any time my CC is going to the CSP directly, I feel I did a good job, helped to keep this site running, and not some greedy users to thrive.

novrain62 • 31 Jan 2017, 8:56 AM

Correction: it was 8 days for crw, free! he gave us an extra day on top of 25 tries!

shirona • 31 Jan 2017, 9:38 AM

@asbe - the currency you use to buy CC with goes directly to the site, regardless of where it is traded or spent.

asbe • 31 Jan 2017, 9:48 AM

@element I don't spend CC to trade with other users, I only buy smth at CSP. I can sleep well ^^

shirona • 31 Jan 2017, 9:50 AM

@asbe - Oh, I see. Still supports the site whether you're buy CC for yourself or to trade with other users though.

asbe • 31 Jan 2017, 9:58 AM

@element I prefer to buy it for real money and spend at CSP. I explained why. I prefer it my way ^^

shirona • 31 Jan 2017, 10:25 AM

@asbe - I know 😊 To each their own.
