QUESTION OF THE WEEK: Do you think it's currently too hard to hatch eggs and/or level up your creatures? Please post your response to this blog post; we're considering re-adjusting evolution points for each species.
Egg Cave's newest update involves CREATURE PROFILES! Your creature's profiles have been completely redone with exciting new features! First off, they've been more streamlined and look a lot more like your regular user profiles (with a couple of exceptions, nonetheless). They don't look so boring and bland now! Actually, the old creature profiles (that just went offline) were from 6 months ago, back when Egg Cave was in development and barely operational! At that point in time, I can't exactly say I was concerned with the design. :P Time for an update, 'eh? Secondly, you can now add profile text for each and every one of your creatures. A whole 500 characters! If you're a writer or just like dreaming, add a little "backstory" to your creatures! Where did they come from? What adventures have they had? It'll make things a lot more interesting and exciting for your friends to read! To update your creature's profile text, go to their profile and click the button. A text box will appear, where you can edit your creature's profile. Third, eggs/creatures can now be fed REAL food! A little message/blurb will also be displayed (directly from the egg) after each feed (i.e. "Mmm! Yummy!"). More food concoctions will be released later! :) Fourth, due to popular demand, Egg Cave now tracks the last 5 feeders for each of your creatures (excluding guests/non-registered users). This will help a lot of people know who actually *returns* feeds. ;) UP NEXT: Adoption agency! Thanks for being a part of Egg Cave.

WOW! Thanks Ian, this is amazing! You weren't kidding when you said you were gonna make a big update! =D
kopakasheild • 19 Sep 2009, 9:48 PM
A food shop would be cool, btw. Where we can buy cool foods that raise the happiness of the egg more when you feed it to them. =D
Ian • 19 Sep 2009, 9:52 PM
thanks for the suggestion -- got it đ
kopakasheild • 19 Sep 2009, 9:55 PM
Yayz. xD -Makes descriptions for pets-
smartie2742 • 19 Sep 2009, 9:57 PM
I love it! Especially the cute little messages that the eggs say when you feed them. Can't wait for the adoption agency! đ
xepha • 19 Sep 2009, 10:06 PM
Ian, it's full cute ;D
parfaite • 19 Sep 2009, 10:08 PM
No Ian, it's awesome yes, just want I wanted (and not only me), now feeding is going to be for real or for the truth good job! đ
geministar • 19 Sep 2009, 10:25 PM
Im feeding eveyone some cheese! đ And I dont think they are too hard to hatch. It might get boring for the 1337 people if its too easy
joy • 19 Sep 2009, 11:00 PM
Wow! You have really outdone yourself with this update. It looks amazing!! Each day the site gets better and better! đ Thanks Ian!
cheesy_morgan • 19 Sep 2009, 11:59 PM
Awesome! Now I don't have to worry about cheating feeders! đ I love the cheese's description, and I've taken full advantage of pet
profiles. Thanks for continuing to make this site rock, Ian. đ¸
cprather • 20 Sep 2009, 12:37 AM
finnaly i can kill...i me kill(jk) the people who feed my eggs that i dont want fed .........shh.....<.> <.>....theyre watching lol
cprather • 20 Sep 2009, 12:38 AM
only the bunthoff drakomo and aerlo need to be easyer to hatch
izann • 20 Sep 2009, 12:48 AM
It's really hard to hatch the eggs...I mean my Diablo died cuz I went on a trip T_T
cheesy_morgan • 20 Sep 2009, 12:49 AM
Aww, sorry izann. Next time, try asking a few people to watch your eggs so they don't die. đ
xjamiexoxmariex • 20 Sep 2009, 1:30 AM
i think its kinda hard 2 hatch the eggs considering none of mine have hatched yet âšī¸ but i love the food options đ
megan • 20 Sep 2009, 1:34 AM
Wow, I really love this update! *finished all profiles* I can really tell who has been feeding too. Awesome job! ^^
niunia885 • 20 Sep 2009, 1:52 AM
I think hatching eggs is hard, but it should stay that way. đ
naleap • 20 Sep 2009, 3:49 AM
Drakomo and the Bunthoff should be easier to hatch âšī¸ *pokes Arya* She's getting bored each day being trapped into the egg =(
izann • 20 Sep 2009, 4:00 AM
I'm quite new so I'm not sure how this works...but if you feed other people you level up your own pets? O_o
seakill • 20 Sep 2009, 4:18 AM
it does take alot of time to hatch an egg, when not many people are feeding it
lion • 20 Sep 2009, 5:01 AM
ah, yes. good idea Ian. now i know what you're talking about on your profile when you said "if i don't appear on the last fed list" đ
*goes to edit egg description* character limit cut that part out đ
matt • 20 Sep 2009, 6:16 AM
Awesome =] It seems a little difficult, but hey, what fun would it be without a little challenge?
matt • 20 Sep 2009, 6:17 AM
As for the food, does it make a difference what you feed it?
luzal • 20 Sep 2009, 6:57 AM
Ian, this is totally awesome!!!
mumbling • 20 Sep 2009, 9:04 AM
Lovely update, I really think the feed the pets to level up thing is a bit hard sometimes!
tivsy • 20 Sep 2009, 9:06 AM
Hey Ian! Cool system with the food and all. đ *thumbs up*
luna • 20 Sep 2009, 9:23 AM
awesome idea, and I can't wait for the adoption agency, it would be good to be able to have eggs that others would discard - it'd feel good!
dragonfriend • 20 Sep 2009, 9:44 AM
WOW! But none of my eggs have hatched. ):
amers • 20 Sep 2009, 9:55 AM
This update is more than I dreamt it would be. XD *claps*
jenjen • 20 Sep 2009, 10:00 AM
COOL THANKS!
xepha • 20 Sep 2009, 10:38 AM
Overall it isn't hard to hatch eggs, but for some people, eggs that need views are really hard because they have nowhere to post them...
icedapple • 20 Sep 2009, 10:51 AM
Wow ian, this awsome! now can you plz let the drakomo hatch easier? its so hard to get 750 clicks!
Ian • 20 Sep 2009, 10:59 AM
yay -- thanks so much for your support guys. i really appreciate it. i've taken the suggestions into considering thus far. KEEP EM COMING
lillyann25432 • 20 Sep 2009, 11:10 AM
*SCREAMS* TNX TNX TNX YOU IAN!!!!!!! I'M A BORN WRITER THIS'LL BE PERFECT! I think 500 is a little to small but, that's only cause I could
spend 5 pages on writing easily. XD
kopakasheild • 20 Sep 2009, 11:22 AM
A "completely fill up the eggs happiness" food would be awsome. But it would have to be super rare.
mumbling • 20 Sep 2009, 11:39 AM
Uh I know Muramasa, I meant evolve đ to me leveling up means the same, since levels don't say anything.
dreamerofdreams • 20 Sep 2009, 12:33 PM
Wow!Thanks Ian!I also think an adoption center and a food shop is a good idea too!
parfaite • 20 Sep 2009, 1:10 PM
Muramasa: Yes but if you are not on Neopets (like me old 45 y old mom) or any other forums where ??? can you have your eggs viewed?
parfaite • 20 Sep 2009, 1:12 PM
Muramasa: Ok, I was lucky to have Xepha and Nonstickglue to advertise my eggs. Otherwise all my Sauriens would still be eggs. Thanks!
xepha • 20 Sep 2009, 1:34 PM
@Muramasa : oh because you think I don't know about tdnforums. o.O
xepha • 20 Sep 2009, 1:35 PM
Parfaite's point was that she isn't on any forums so she can't rely on views from people OUTSIDE of eggcave.
And when that happens, it take a long time to hatch eggs COMPARED to feeds/clicks ones.
Which makes it unfair, in a way. But this is only OUR opinion and you don't have to AGREE with it. We are saying it to IAN. kbyethx.
parfaite • 20 Sep 2009, 1:46 PM
Muramasa: I told you that without Nonstickglue and XEPHA my viewing eggs would be eggs not hatched creatures. thanks for reading me.
cheesy_morgan • 20 Sep 2009, 2:12 PM
I think that's enough, people. Can we get back to enjoying the site? >_<
valiant_link • 20 Sep 2009, 3:06 PM
This is so great! You rock Ian!
valiant_link • 20 Sep 2009, 3:10 PM
And as an answer to the question yes, my garguaith hatched, but none of my others will
