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.

Great updates! Though, I think eggs are a little too hard to hatch. I know the game should be challenging to make it fun, but none of my
black_storm • 20 Sep 2009, 4:31 PM
eggs have hatched. Not even the clicks or feeds ones.
mcforlife • 20 Sep 2009, 6:01 PM
The new profiles are great! And I think that its great how some eggs are easier or harder to hatch then others! It makes the game fun! đ
luzal • 20 Sep 2009, 7:34 PM
Its pretty easy to hatch eggs. Drakomos are hard to hatch from my part of view. They need many clicks.... đ Anyway, once again great job!đ
xfyrebritex • 20 Sep 2009, 8:17 PM
For me, hatching takes a lot of work. But, I have taken myself out of the adoptables mainstream lately. so it's not all that shocking. xD
_skybranch_ • 20 Sep 2009, 8:28 PM
YAY! the feeding thing is so awsome!
id_24 • 20 Sep 2009, 9:55 PM
Whee, thanks Ian đ But Izzy wants a Bar of Chocolate item she can feed to people's pets m'kay?
id_24 • 20 Sep 2009, 9:56 PM
Oh and for the hatching thing... I find the lots of clicks/feeds ones hard, views aren't really a problem for me *cough* Most of mine are
id_24 • 20 Sep 2009, 9:58 PM
getting there now however đ I can see the views one being hard for people with no-where to put them though, like V's already said.
axiste • 20 Sep 2009, 11:14 PM
i think views are a bit hard for some people. but the clicks/feeds are pretty attainable. gj on the updates! thx. đ
nilsfig • 21 Sep 2009, 5:15 AM
I think that Bunthoff, Drakomo and Aerlo should be easier to hatch
izann • 21 Sep 2009, 6:08 AM
Whew, fed a lot of people's eggs!! Man it's so hard to get views, I've been waiting forever for my eggs to hatch T_T
keyong97 • 21 Sep 2009, 7:17 AM
well i mean, its kinda hard to hatch eggs, like the bunthoff i have a friend, ivar, who is NEVER going to get that thing done, but i have a
n aureil at 84 or something with views
Ian • 21 Sep 2009, 8:06 AM
@id_24: CHOCOLATE! how could I FORGET?!!? @everybody else: thanks for the suggestions -- keep 'em coming!
vixibelle • 21 Sep 2009, 11:44 AM
I 2nd the motion for some uber-rare food item that fills the eggs happiness 100%! I feel bad for some peoples eggs when I'm the only person
vixibelle • 21 Sep 2009, 11:45 AM
who's clicked the poor things in a couple/few days and wish there were some way I could better help them.
eggge • 21 Sep 2009, 1:28 PM
I think you should make Terron eggs easier cause they are already hard to get and people dont even know if its feeds, clicks or views that
eggge • 21 Sep 2009, 1:29 PM
matter so if in the archives you put, it would be much easier!
eggge • 21 Sep 2009, 1:31 PM
and why do Calla`s exist??? no one has one, not even you Ian. and in the archives you should show how Calla`s Mo`s and Terrons evolve.
parfaite • 21 Sep 2009, 1:47 PM
Ian, I think it's pretty cool that some eggs are not easy to hatch.. It forces us to play more and to have more patience! lol!
keyong97 • 21 Sep 2009, 3:36 PM
umm im never gonna evolve shadowstar, never ever EVER, there is no way im EVER going to get 3000 views to evolve him, EVER
cheesy_morgan • 21 Sep 2009, 5:45 PM
Muramasa: I'd be willing to bet the adoption agency comes out before a food like that comes into existence, so you wouldn't really have to
worry about people feeding the eggs you don't want.
cheesy_morgan • 21 Sep 2009, 5:46 PM
And Ian DOES answer questions. It's not like he ignores us.
ivarngizteb • 21 Sep 2009, 6:01 PM
What board is the eggcave thing on on neopets? And I'm the friend of keyong97's, I'll find a way to hatch Ivar.
amers • 21 Sep 2009, 6:13 PM
I think that the fact that some eggs are harder to hatch makes it sweeter when they do. But I've never been fond of easy. Easy = boring ;]
joy • 21 Sep 2009, 9:33 PM
The only thing I implore is to not make any eggs limited or extinct. I think every egg should always be available to the public.
Too many times on different sites I have seen things limited, and it's not fun that way, only fun to the few people that have those eggs. âšī¸
joy • 21 Sep 2009, 9:36 PM
By limited I mean, only 100 eggs in existence and none will ever be made again. Only nice feature to the few that can get those eggs. đ
kopakasheild • 21 Sep 2009, 9:40 PM
@Posts from forever ago I think hatching is hard too because I don't trust those adoptable hatching sites. Too many risks for viruses. D:
andygal • 21 Sep 2009, 9:55 PM
I don't get a whole lot of feeds but my eggs aren't dying, it doesn't take that many feeds a day to keep them alive.
andygal • 21 Sep 2009, 9:56 PM
and I like that some eggs take a lot of work to hatch, it gives you a challenge to work towards.
cprather • 22 Sep 2009, 12:33 AM
wow thank u joy i agree 1000% i say unlimited eggs 4 all
nilsfig • 22 Sep 2009, 4:07 AM
Also I really, really hope that eggcave won't be costing money in the future. It wouldn't be fun..
nilsfig • 22 Sep 2009, 4:08 AM
.. if you needed to pay real money to get ''special eggs''
lion • 22 Sep 2009, 5:05 AM
@muramasa - Ian is a very busy person. Give him time to answer your questions. Gosh, he probably doesn't read these for hours after we post.
Ian • 22 Sep 2009, 8:09 AM
hey guys. đ nobody asked me any questions really, but i can give you guys some info:
Ian • 22 Sep 2009, 8:10 AM
1. callas will be obtainable in the future. 2. we will have a couple of limited ed eggs, but everybody will have an equal chance.
Ian • 22 Sep 2009, 8:11 AM
3. egg cave will never cost any money to play. đ 4. all evolution stages are going to be readjusted. no worries, some will still be a
xepha • 22 Sep 2009, 8:13 AM
@Muramasa : You see in the footer of Egg Cave, there is a 'Contact Us' link. With that, you can send a ticket to Ian just anytime and (c)
he replies whenever he can. But I'm almost positive he won't tell you how to hatch the Terron. It makes the game fun.
Ian • 22 Sep 2009, 8:14 AM
to hatch/level up. we're not going to dumb it down so much that it's too easy. what fun would that be? đ
Ian • 22 Sep 2009, 8:15 AM
@mura: you hatch terron eggs the same way you hatch every other egg... more stats! đ
secillia • 22 Sep 2009, 10:43 AM
I wish we could feed our eggs more than once! They die too fast! âšī¸ How about breakfast, lunch, and dinner? đ
klemicat • 22 Sep 2009, 11:45 AM
Oh yeah thats so annoying. I want like 10 of my eggs gone, but it takes forever.
qwertyqwerty • 22 Sep 2009, 12:24 PM
I think that adult forms should not need to be fed. They're adults, so they are able to live without help, aren't they? đ
naleap • 22 Sep 2009, 12:39 PM
*waves* Agrees with qwerty đ
parfaite • 22 Sep 2009, 1:33 PM
@Ian, did I tell you that you rock today? no? Sorry my mistake, Ian, you rock! LOL!
