Introducing Eggnite

April 1, 2019 at 12:00 AM

Egg Cave Is Becoming Eggnite

Egg Cave is excited and proud to announce that we, as a site, will be transitioning away from being an adoptables creature site and are instead becoming a new battle royale game! Egg Cave is becoming Eggnite.

What's Eggnite?

At its core, Eggnite is about the last creature standing. Starting tomorrow, users will have the ability to kill other users' creatures. If and when your Cove is completely wiped out, your account will be automatically closed (your username will be freed up). To participate and hop back into the game again, you'll be able to register a new account. When a 1st place winner is crowned, the entire game resets (all EC, all items, and all creatures).

We will mention that you'll always be able to reach for Resurrection Stones as long as your account has at least 1 creature alive. Bringing back creatures means your account can stay in game longer, of course!

New with Eggnite: Cave Crates

Eggnite will now introduce randomized loot boxes into the gameplay called Cave Crates.

Cave Crates are Eggnite's new way of obtaining creatures. It will eventually replace the current Cave approach and steal system tomorrow. Users find crates and need to open them to get a creature hidden inside at random.

Starting today, you can begin collecting Cave Crates when you see them around the site (similar to our annual Find The Gobblers event). When you see one on the page, click it to collect it for your account!

Open Cave Crates with Keys

Crates don't just open themselves, of course! You'll need Cave Keys to open the Cave Crates. Here's what keys open which crates (they have to match):

  • Bronze Key » Emerald Cave Crate
  • Silver Key » Topaz Cave Crate
  • Gold Key » Ruby Cave Crate
  • Platinum Key » Amethyst Cave Crate

Each crate will contain an assortment of creatures with the type of crate determining the rareness of it. For example, an Emerald Crate will mostly reward you with Cave commons with the possibility of slighter rarer creatures. The rarest crate, the Amethyst Cave Crate, may reward you with the rarest of the rare creatures including the Doovoo and Tine. (You heard us right!)

How do you get keys, you ask? These will be exclusively Cash Shop items only, beginning at 100 CC. They launch and will be available for purchase tomorrow, April 2.

Eggnite Recap

Prepare for the conversion to Eggnite tomorrow—the battle will begin and no creature is safe from being targeted. Today, collect Cave Crates around the site as they appear on the page. Beginning tomorrow, you can purchase your Keys in the Cash Shop to open them for creatures.

We hope you enjoy this exciting new change. We're moving away from only adoptables to something with a TON of ACTION!

inkpelt • 1 Apr 2019, 12:44 AM

Love the style of the new creatures!

witika • 1 Apr 2019, 12:44 AM

Happy April Fools!

kytten • 1 Apr 2019, 12:45 AM

Heck yes i have like, 6 crates already! GIMMIE GOODIES! ((Yes i know it's April 1st, shh xD))

starflight767 • 1 Apr 2019, 12:46 AM

Wait...it's a JOKE? SO not funny. i almost had a heart attack.

carcharhiniformes • 1 Apr 2019, 12:47 AM

@starflight767 I'm pretty sure it's just another April Fool's joke and isn't real. However if for some reason it turns out to be real, I would have to agree with you. The whole thing is still pretty hilarious though

starflight767 • 1 Apr 2019, 12:48 AM

@carcharhiniformes i STILL don't think it's funny. not when i have 200+ Eggs/Adopts.

murfijs • 1 Apr 2019, 12:50 AM

XD nice joke. actually i knew its a joke.

carcharhiniformes • 1 Apr 2019, 12:51 AM

I think this year's joke post is so much better than last year's crypto currency one. xD

netherling • 1 Apr 2019, 12:55 AM

*insert ISSA JOKE meme here*

armageddondoll • 1 Apr 2019, 12:55 AM

75 crates. I'm having way too much fun with this XD

therosedragon • 1 Apr 2019, 12:56 AM

I actually lowkey forgot today was April 1st mainly because I'm hoping this one Overwatch League player was joking about leaving but it's probably true (at least he left to do something he loves). I hope these crates actually do something since I have like over 20 of them so far

orchids • 1 Apr 2019, 12:56 AM

Hehe. The cave monthlies are lovelyy.

froot • 1 Apr 2019, 1:00 AM

@prairie Thanks for the description! ❤️ OMG I hope Eggcave doesn't turn into a Fortnite thing I sure hope this is April fools XP

kalessin • 1 Apr 2019, 1:01 AM

You've outdone yourselves this year eggcave team, sorry, eggnite team! This is really funny ^^ (for people getting upset - it's april fool's, it isn't real, EC would never take your creatures like that lmao)

alastrine • 1 Apr 2019, 1:03 AM

I swear this always gets me! I know the date! I should expect this after 4 years!

armageddondoll • 1 Apr 2019, 1:05 AM

"You have found a total of 100 crates. Keep collecting! Don't worry. We'll keep track of which type." It is so satisfying to find them. Crate madness aside though, I can't wait to see what Easter brings to EC!

disney • 1 Apr 2019, 1:12 AM

Gunna buy 100 of dem platinum keys. SO CHEAP!

disney • 1 Apr 2019, 1:14 AM

Also spawn rate of crates is too high. I'm gunna be too OP by the time tomorrow comes.

megadash • 1 Apr 2019, 1:33 AM

Best j-yolk yet!

doobla22fluffy • 1 Apr 2019, 1:33 AM

@kalessin you mean my babys are safe?

senkou • 1 Apr 2019, 1:43 AM

This may sound rather depressing but eggcave had been a huge part of my life since i was in primary school so if this turns into 'eggnite' and my pets get targeted and killed it's going to break my heart and I'm most likely going to quit, crawl into a hole and diem

groen • 1 Apr 2019, 1:45 AM

This has to be April Foolery!

senkou • 1 Apr 2019, 1:45 AM

Absolutely in love with the new monthlies though ❤️

amethyst_elf448 • 1 Apr 2019, 1:49 AM

Me: this is a terrible idea Also me: but think if the tine...

katrinwolf • 1 Apr 2019, 2:00 AM

These new CC monthlies. I think. I need. BOTH. And my predator-oriented cove is gonna shred in Eggnite, I tell you 😈

superunloved • 1 Apr 2019, 2:13 AM

As if I don't believe anything today it april fools But that would be a ace idea like goatling battling method

kudo • 1 Apr 2019, 2:15 AM

@raregem1996 relax, it's a prank. ever heard of april fools?

kudo • 1 Apr 2019, 2:20 AM

@wild_wonders aw don't worry, it's a joke (a really convincing one too) and it happens every year xD my first year, i got convinced and i created the most embarrassing rant post to boot and i fully regretted my existence xD at least now i know better xD

thedarkarcher • 1 Apr 2019, 2:21 AM

Sounds like great fun! I so wish this was real it sounds super eventful ❤️

senkou • 1 Apr 2019, 2:24 AM

@silvershadow yeah, you'd think that i'd know better since i've been playing eggcave since 2015, but i don't recall any pranks like this from previous years (besides the classic retired monthly duds in the cave 😋) what did they do last year again? 😱

kudo • 1 Apr 2019, 2:26 AM

@wild_wonders oh my really??? xD haha last year was the bitcoin spinoff right?

senkou • 1 Apr 2019, 2:28 AM

@silvershadow ohhh yup that does ring a bell x3 i know i wasn't convinced though, that must have been why i forgot about it 😋

kudo • 1 Apr 2019, 2:29 AM

@wild_wonders haha xD i wasn't convinced either (but that was probably cause my brain didn't understand what i was reading xD i just found an amethyst chest 😱OO

iia • 1 Apr 2019, 2:31 AM

😱 I love the new creatures but accually don’t like this idea of a battle royalty game!!!

senkou • 1 Apr 2019, 2:31 AM

@silvershadow ooo nice, i got two so far but i doubt anything would happen, even if they were made real (i can't afford 10,000💵 for a key 😋)

kudo • 1 Apr 2019, 2:32 AM

@wild_wonders that's a pity xD me getting all excited over nothing and ikr!!! keys!!! i ain't rich!!!

mrsgiggles • 1 Apr 2019, 2:59 AM

Please let me keep the pretty loot chests. Did I mention they are pretty?

sartre • 1 Apr 2019, 3:00 AM

Hahahaha very funny April Fools day prank 😋

mrsgiggles • 1 Apr 2019, 3:16 AM

Look at my adult pets and their lovely backgrounds ❤️ https://eggcave.com/egg/2335613 https://eggcave.com/egg/2341916

dragonborn • 1 Apr 2019, 3:25 AM

this had better be a april fools day prank becus if it isnt i hate ithe ppl that did this

iia • 1 Apr 2019, 4:06 AM

Wait... it’s april fools...

lendulka • 1 Apr 2019, 4:07 AM

Nice joke. Where do you get these ideas every year?

thedarkarcher • 1 Apr 2019, 4:10 AM

@wild_wonders haha thinking about it though you obtain lets say a macbot for 10k if it dies just pay 200cc to bring it back its still much cheaper then actually buying it rn 😋. Why are people against this again lol 😋

senkou • 1 Apr 2019, 4:26 AM

@thedarkarcher i just feel like it would be so sad watching your dream pets that you worked hard for die... and most have sentimental value, yunno? 😋 i'd rather keep my cove right now than get a tine, onny, macbot, doovoo, etc then watch that die too.

sparklefox • 1 Apr 2019, 4:46 AM

I JUST ABOUT DIED WHEN I SAW THE EGGNITE LOGO. Please, everyone but me is asleep right now and I don't want to wake everyone up! ...I like the new monthlies, though.

leafmelody • 1 Apr 2019, 5:30 AM

april fools huh... xD

caylith • 1 Apr 2019, 5:34 AM

April's Fools Day! Although I do wish, that the crates and keys will stay, TOGETHER with their rewards;)

murfijs • 1 Apr 2019, 6:11 AM

the thing about crates and keys is actually good.i wish that wasnt a joke .

mastergemma • 1 Apr 2019, 6:33 AM

@playermocha345 I lowkey want to see some sort of Eggnite happen now and @murfijs I hope something does happen with the keys and crates, they are really well designed and could be an amazing addition in some sort of way.
