SITE TRIVIA - Master Zhi has returned with the Site Trivia and is located under the Community tab or can be found in Leila. Master Zhi will test your wits and intelligence to the very end...

@daikirai There are plenty of successful pet websites who do not take constant user suggestions, if even at all.
whitefire • 1 Jan 2013, 4:55 PM
@Meteoroid I hope you're being sarcastic. If anything, the ARTISTS deserve to be offended that we're complaining about their suggestions.
daikirai • 1 Jan 2013, 4:56 PM
since people invested money into their coves.. I would hate to be stuck in this kind of business.
daikirai • 1 Jan 2013, 4:57 PM
I would say a lot of people like being able to make suggestions and Ian should actually like it too being able to make the site better.
Meteoroid • 1 Jan 2013, 4:57 PM
@daikirai It's the same risk for any MMORPG you subscribe to or anything else online. Nothing would happen if it shut down tomorrow.
Meteoroid • 1 Jan 2013, 4:58 PM
@daikirai We love creature suggestions. Just don't expect every single creature to be from a user. That's all I'm trying to say.
daikirai • 1 Jan 2013, 4:59 PM
How many artists are there? and how do they know about what the people buying cc want? They would have to take suggestions.
bubblez • 1 Jan 2013, 5:01 PM
A heated debate? D: Where's the love? XD We should just be glad to have creatures. Period. /o/ Dat jellyfish \o\
daikirai • 1 Jan 2013, 5:01 PM
@Meteoroid Well of course I don't expect that. about 1/3 of the suggestions are horrible.
whitefire • 1 Jan 2013, 5:01 PM
@Daikrai Also, the fun should come from designing the creature. Seeing it made should be a bonus.
@bubblez I'm not mad or anything and I hope I don't sound like that either. 😋
Meteoroid • 1 Jan 2013, 5:02 PM
@daikirai There are multiple artists. We just think of creatures appropriate for the month or whatever the artists decide.
Sometimes we even dig into user suggestions. The website is doing fine.
daikirai • 1 Jan 2013, 5:03 PM
And not to be mean to anyone. If I made a creature I would put it in the side of horrible suggestions.
@Meteoroid Yes so the site needs suggestions.
whispers • 1 Jan 2013, 5:04 PM
This is really bothering me; what species is Master Zhi? He looks like an ordinary llama... xD
taunter • 1 Jan 2013, 5:04 PM
YAYAYAYAYA
Meteoroid • 1 Jan 2013, 5:04 PM
@daikirai It doesn't NEED them. User suggestions are just an added little bonus on Egg Cave since not every adoptable pet website does it.
Orderedchaos • 1 Jan 2013, 5:05 PM
@whispers Master Zhi is a Lemac.
Meteoroid • 1 Jan 2013, 5:05 PM
daikirai • 1 Jan 2013, 5:06 PM
I don't spend any CC on this site so I'm fine with it going down but I know plenty of people who spend hundreds on this site.
Meteoroid • 1 Jan 2013, 5:07 PM
@daikirai Egg Cave isn't dying. I am so sorry you feel that way.
harrypotter123698 • 1 Jan 2013, 5:07 PM
Guys, like every month there is a user made creature so why is everybody complaining? 😸
piucca • 1 Jan 2013, 5:07 PM
@Meteoroid Just informing how the artist felt. I didn't care either way.
daikirai • 1 Jan 2013, 5:07 PM
@Meteoroid They might not take in like written suggestion but they would look at what sells best. and try to make something popular.
daikirai • 1 Jan 2013, 5:08 PM
I know eggcave isnt dying. It's probably in it's best shape right now with all the updates but it's pretty hard for newbies to do much here.
daikirai • 1 Jan 2013, 5:09 PM
many people quit and it's hard to bring in new people since it's all about CC
glados • 1 Jan 2013, 5:09 PM
People spend CC on the site precisely because of the fact that they like the creatures here...
Meteoroid • 1 Jan 2013, 5:10 PM
@daikirai We have much in store for this year. Primarily, we're making it accessible to all players. I can't really reveal any secrets
whitefire • 1 Jan 2013, 5:12 PM
@Glados Precisely! XD Now how to get my hands on some...
daikirai • 1 Jan 2013, 5:13 PM
@Meteoroid It's hard to trade CRWs or recent LEs for cc though. like engels from a year ago is worth less than 100cc to many people.
Meteoroid • 1 Jan 2013, 5:15 PM
@daikirai CC is something we're trying to fix. With the new item system being implemented, EC will be much more used.
daikirai • 1 Jan 2013, 5:15 PM
I can't trade my CRWs at all so I just feel like giving them away and it's like this for most new LEs that come out.
daikirai • 1 Jan 2013, 5:16 PM
@Meteoroid That puts me at ease. It sad seeing so many newbies just leave or quit after a few days.
hai • 1 Jan 2013, 5:16 PM
@daikirai You can't expect for something just released to attain much value. 😋
whitefire • 1 Jan 2013, 5:17 PM
@Meteoroid That's going to be awesome! Will CC still be around? Or will people get something to replace it since they spent money on it?
dionaea • 1 Jan 2013, 5:18 PM
My two cents: I liked the art for the Lyrate better than the Squinton, but who cares whether a user or an artist came up with it?
bubblez • 1 Jan 2013, 5:18 PM
@daikirai Things get more popular long after they are released. The CRWs *just* retired. Same with the LEs.
As long as the creature looks nice I don't see a problem...
Meteoroid • 1 Jan 2013, 5:20 PM
@whitefire CC will still be around, but not really a main focus. Ian and the rest of the staff dislikes the CC hoarding as much as the users
whitefire • 1 Jan 2013, 5:21 PM
@Dionaea Agreed. I was only arguing because I'm going to Youth in Government (though I'd prefer not) in the spring and I need to practice.
whitefire • 1 Jan 2013, 5:24 PM
@Meteoroid Ah. When is this new system going to be implemented?
daikirai • 1 Jan 2013, 5:25 PM
@bubblez @hai Yeah I know but like the ones from a year ago is still hard to trade and that's very annoying! D:
Meteoroid • 1 Jan 2013, 5:26 PM
@whitefire Soon enough. It's mainly already here, but still needs to be completely ironed out. Toys, food, and magical items. 😃
bubblez • 1 Jan 2013, 5:27 PM
@daikirai I don't think a lot of the LEs last year are worth CC. They're easy to still get and not worth CC (imo) But people are over ---
bubblez • 1 Jan 2013, 5:28 PM
pricing everything. Especially when they were easy to get when they were released (ie the cave) It's not like you had to do work for them -
whitefire • 1 Jan 2013, 5:29 PM
@Meteoroid Yay! Food. Eating is more fun than making chain-mail jewelry. Ooh, chain-mail jewelry would make a good magical item.
bubblez • 1 Jan 2013, 5:29 PM
just go to the cave! And now people want like 500CC for a Bessy o-o (I'm over exaggerating, but you get my point) People just need to be ---
bubblez • 1 Jan 2013, 5:30 PM
patient and the value will slowly grow. It just might take a few years.
daikirai • 1 Jan 2013, 5:33 PM
@bubblez It's only easy to get because no one(or not many) value them so people must lower the prices. and that's what I don't like.
