Earth Day Celebrations

April 22, 2015 at 9:37 AM

HAPPY EARTH DAY - Happy Earth Day from all of us at Egg Cave.

THE ARA - This limited-edition, exclusive bird is now available in the Cash Shop Park through April 26. After that, it'll retire forever.

It's estimated that Ara's can only successfully reproduce in captivity, which makes the Ara a focal point of environmental conservation in Ark.

@tash I don't find it different enough to be more unique, PERSONALLY. They're still fairly similar to me. I know there are differences, but-

shelby • 22 Apr 2015, 10:54 PM

I'd like to see more diversity with our creatures. There are still endless possibilities, but we just keep getting repeating themes. :\

shelby • 22 Apr 2015, 10:54 PM

I suppose I'm just disappointed we aren't getting more unique creatures and that we're getting repeating themes and colors and creatures...

tash • 22 Apr 2015, 11:10 PM

@shelby I understand, but hopefully egg cave will be around for a long,long time yet & we will see new creatures appear. Guinea pig please!?

crazianimul • 22 Apr 2015, 11:25 PM

No cave creature, Eggcave has officially sold out.

shelby • 22 Apr 2015, 11:26 PM

@tash Hopefully, but with the way things have been going lately, I'm worried it won't be around for a long time.

iceiceice • 22 Apr 2015, 11:32 PM

Wait, is there really no cave creature for sure....? o.o

shelby • 22 Apr 2015, 11:34 PM

@iceiceice It appears to be that way; if they didn't announce one in this blog post, it's highly unlikely that there will be one at all.

shelby • 22 Apr 2015, 11:34 PM

It'd be silly to release it AFTER Earth Day. It just wouldn't make sense to do that. The only logical conclusion to be drawn is that there-

shelby • 22 Apr 2015, 11:35 PM

is no Cave Creature for Earth Day. As unfortunate as that is, that just appears to be the way it is this year.

shelby • 22 Apr 2015, 11:39 PM

@iceiceice I suppose Egg Cave needs the money and they couldn't "afford" to make a free Cave creature for Earth Day this year.

shelby • 22 Apr 2015, 11:52 PM

@iceiceice There have been CC creatures before for Earth Day, but they normally have a Cave Creature for every "event" or holiday --

shelby • 22 Apr 2015, 11:53 PM

But I agree that the creatures were nice for that time period. I just wish we had some more diversity! "real" animal based creatures that -

shelby • 22 Apr 2015, 11:54 PM

HAVEN'T been done yet would even be amazing, like a ferret, coatimundi, axolotl, hamster, rat, opossum, etc etc etc

iceiceice • 22 Apr 2015, 11:58 PM

@shelby I see what you mean. I'm actually really surprised there hasn't been a dolphin yet XD Personally, I prefer creatures that look--

iceiceice • 23 Apr 2015, 12:00 AM

--abstract or "legendary-like." I think they've been attempting to expand, but I yeah agree with you. XD We'll just have to wait and see 😸

shelby • 23 Apr 2015, 12:05 AM

@iceiceice I like creatures that resemble real animals, but I also like legendary looking creatures as well. I'd love to see a steampunk-

shelby • 23 Apr 2015, 12:06 AM

inspired creature. That would be pretty awesome; bronze with gears. But I kind of doubt anything like that will pop up ever.

iceiceice • 23 Apr 2015, 12:10 AM

@shelby Oh, I think if we were to continue this conversation, it should be moved to PM (before we take up this whole blog... o.o

iceiceice • 23 Apr 2015, 12:11 AM

Edit: Wrong one http://eggcave.com/forums/topic/51476

shelby • 23 Apr 2015, 12:16 AM

@iceiceice I'll take a look and yes, feel free to pm me to continue, I was just about to suggest that! ❤️

I don't mind another macaw, tbh. There are many kinds of macaws after all. The original Macaw is modeled after the Blue-and-Yellow Macaw

metaphor • 23 Apr 2015, 6:34 AM

This macaw is more of the "quintessential" macaw if you will: the scarlet macaw. Heh, I'd even go as far to say as I wouldn't mind seeing

metaphor • 23 Apr 2015, 6:34 AM

other macaws like Hyacinth (my favorite! So beautiful, and absolute characters!) and Hahn's. Of course I would like to see a Cockatoo and

metaphor • 23 Apr 2015, 6:35 AM

some finches or smaller parrots (conure, yes!!!!) first. But really, I really don't think we can ever have too many birds, period!

tash • 23 Apr 2015, 7:00 AM

@metaphor agreed with everything you stated 😃

tash • 23 Apr 2015, 7:00 AM

@metaphor your favourite stage of the Ara?

dragonkeeper • 23 Apr 2015, 10:25 AM

I am not sure if I like this one

dragonii • 23 Apr 2015, 2:05 PM

If only I had a thing called money. Q-Q

chiroptera • 23 Apr 2015, 5:59 PM

@dragonii whats money? never heard of that.

dragonii • 23 Apr 2015, 6:04 PM

@srx2002 Its a thing that's nearly impossible to get unless people love you enough to give it to you. I heard that its color changes from-

dragonii • 23 Apr 2015, 6:05 PM

Green to silver to a orange color. at least in my region.

chiroptera • 23 Apr 2015, 8:18 PM

@dragonii wow! sounds amazing! I wish i had some

dragonii • 23 Apr 2015, 8:19 PM

@srx2002 Don't we all. .-.

immortalraven • 24 Apr 2015, 12:37 AM

/sigh/ And eggcave has become extremely slow for me now too >.>

gabrieltaft • 24 Apr 2015, 2:10 AM

cute

shelby • 24 Apr 2015, 2:44 AM

@immortalraven Oh yeah the site has been lagging for like the past week for me really bad. But only Egg Cave!

cricket • 24 Apr 2015, 10:42 AM

It's Arbor day today right?

immortalraven • 24 Apr 2015, 1:22 PM

@shelby It's only eggcave for me right now too. But hasn't been the past week, just started for me >.> Hope it doesn't get

immortalraven • 24 Apr 2015, 1:23 PM

as bad as it'd been a little while back, forgot when but not too long ago was really bad ;-;

shelby • 24 Apr 2015, 5:03 PM

@immortalraven I think it would really help if they'd delete accounts with no eggs / some dead topics in the forums.

Orderedchaos • 25 Apr 2015, 2:42 PM

@shelby Old accounts and old topics are not what causes the site to lag, deleting them actually wouldn't help at all.

Orderedchaos • 25 Apr 2015, 2:43 PM

The site slows down depending on the amount of traffic it gets. i.e. people visiting/using the site

shelby • 25 Apr 2015, 6:15 PM

@Orderedchaos Ah really? Is there any way to help fix that? The site seems to lag all the time for me, so much so that I can't do much.

Orderedchaos • 25 Apr 2015, 7:13 PM

@shelby If you are experiencing lag that bad, please send in a ticket. It will help Ian determine if there is something on the...

Orderedchaos • 25 Apr 2015, 7:14 PM

...site that needs optimizing or if the problem is something on your end.

shelby • 25 Apr 2015, 8:11 PM

@Orderedchaos Ahh okay. I've seen a few people complain about the lag being that bad as well. I'll send in a ticket now. 😊
