EVOLUTIONS IN REAL TIME - After one of the biggest improvements on our stats system, Egg Cave is proud to introduce creature evolutions in real time and 100% live creature stats, including views.
We're most excited that there will be no more delays for any daily stat resets. Gone are the days of "my creatures didn't evolve today!" or "feeds didn't reset." A NOTE ON CREATURE LEVELS - Since creature images are still generated only once per day, the Creature Levels printed upon the image can become outdated as the day progresses. Rest assured that, despite this, the system still recognizes and uses the live Level of the creature (not the printed image Level), particularly with creature immortality. CONSIDER THE EFFECTS ON FREEZES - Since creature evolutions are now occurring in real-time, don't procrastinate with things like freezes, as you do not have until ~3:00 AM the next day to complete your freeze. "Buffer time" for freezes is a thing of the past.
WE'RE UPDATING DOCUMENTS - Since real-time evolutions haven't existed in the history of Egg Cave, allow us the next week to update our documents about creature evolutions and stats.

Whoo!

Whoo! Looks like the Macbots are finally up to speed again 😃
silverserpent • 19 Feb 2015, 6:20 PM
Okay, cool. 😸
metaphor • 19 Feb 2015, 6:21 PM
Wooo, I love this! Gotta keep on my toes about freezes now, though!
laurel_wreath • 19 Feb 2015, 6:21 PM
oh cool!
jonghyun • 19 Feb 2015, 6:21 PM
how cool! way to go, eggcave~
Orderedchaos • 19 Feb 2015, 6:22 PM
Look at all this awesome! 😃
dionaea • 19 Feb 2015, 6:22 PM
This explains why my Staga just evolved...
lykhaos117 • 19 Feb 2015, 6:22 PM
THIS IS WONDERFUL! THANK YOU, IAN!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ 😃
Ian • 19 Feb 2015, 6:23 PM
@dionaea if you were intending on freezing your creature and have the CC on-hand, submit a Ticket and we can perform that manually
@lykhaos117 wheeeee so glad 😊 yay.
@poof right?! it's all so fast-paced now. 😱
shirona • 19 Feb 2015, 6:23 PM
Hmmm...kinda not sure how I feel about not having a grace period to freeze my creature. :/
veritaspunk • 19 Feb 2015, 6:23 PM
Great business move to compel purchases/speed up procrastination of freezes hehe.
whatever • 19 Feb 2015, 6:24 PM
it's a double-edged sword, now I gotta watch out for my creature's stats more.
Ian • 19 Feb 2015, 6:24 PM
@element instead of a grace period, you now have the ability to watch their stats in real time. 😊
Ian • 19 Feb 2015, 6:25 PM
@veritaspunk haha, not a biz decision. it was because of the consistent "feeds/evolutions didn't go today" probz that we did this!
izziebee1017 • 19 Feb 2015, 6:26 PM
YAY!!!!! THANKS @IAN!!!!!
Ian • 19 Feb 2015, 6:26 PM
@izziebee1017 whoooo
vampire666 • 19 Feb 2015, 6:27 PM
Cewl. ^^ I never liked procrastinating about freezes anyway. 😋
shirona • 19 Feb 2015, 6:27 PM
@Ian What if I'm alseep and miss the opportunity, say for a creature that doesn't need much stats to evolve between stages?
silverserpent • 19 Feb 2015, 6:27 PM
I never wait until the last minute to freeze so this doesn't change much for me. As long as the notifications work it should be fine. 😊
Ian • 19 Feb 2015, 6:29 PM
@element which species specifically are you concerned about? most evolution stages have decent cushion.
@silverserpent yup, evolution notifications still work as expected. you'll receive them in real-time.
lykhaos117 • 19 Feb 2015, 6:30 PM
Are death times changing, too?
nanami • 19 Feb 2015, 6:31 PM
I love the the real time evolution idea, but people who wants to freeze their eggs must be more careful now xD
silverserpent • 19 Feb 2015, 6:31 PM
@Ian "Real time" as in I have to be online when it happens to get the notification (like with immortality) or will it show up when I log in?
zero_chaos • 19 Feb 2015, 6:31 PM
@lykhaos117 Nope! Death times have remained untouched 😊
Ian • 19 Feb 2015, 6:34 PM
@lykhaos117 no, death times are the same.
@silverserpent notifications will be delivered to you at the exact moment your creature evolves, whether you're online or not
nanami • 19 Feb 2015, 6:38 PM
This is really awesome, my Kaihon Tanuki-Bocchan evolved just now xD
dionaea • 19 Feb 2015, 6:38 PM
@Ian Thanks, but it's okay. I forgot to freeze and both my stagas evolved today X) It's kinda cool he managed to evolve before this post 😊
shirona • 19 Feb 2015, 6:39 PM
@Ian Just in general, but mainly creatures that evolve with views since I'm using a site to immortalize that generates views quickly -
nomadic • 19 Feb 2015, 6:39 PM
Cheering intensifies!
Or if something like the Jester comes around.
spiritkoi • 19 Feb 2015, 6:41 PM
Good! And no downside for me! So glad for secret side.
lunar • 19 Feb 2015, 7:00 PM
Honestly, I prefer creature evolving the following day, what if a user cant get a freeze in time and it skips the stage in the hassle of,,,,
lunar • 19 Feb 2015, 7:01 PM
....getting CC. Sure its great for those with high view rates/clicks. Not missing a stage evolve. But this now requires CC beforehand.
iceiceice • 19 Feb 2015, 7:05 PM
Cool! Interesting to see creatures hatch!
univea • 19 Feb 2015, 7:36 PM
Awesome! I wasn't expecting this 😊
siberian • 19 Feb 2015, 7:37 PM
Haha I was thinking how could be possible my Fiamma to evolve around 6 pm! Thought it was a bug. Now it's explained 😋
darexxis • 19 Feb 2015, 7:38 PM
this is cool Vleermus evolved and now its back to a egg XD
novrain62 • 19 Feb 2015, 7:40 PM
Cool new change
faybaybay • 19 Feb 2015, 7:41 PM
This is a great update ^^
bubblez • 19 Feb 2015, 8:03 PM
I am not a fan of this. This will ruin things for people that cannot afford CC and have to work for freezes. Or if you plan on freezing --
bubblez • 19 Feb 2015, 8:05 PM
a creature that only has a couple of stats needed and someone "views/clicks/feeds" just before you freeze the creature. --
bubblez • 19 Feb 2015, 8:06 PM
Or if it gets too many stats before you have the chance to freeze. Not everyone can just buy CC, right then and there. --
bubblez • 19 Feb 2015, 8:07 PM
If it's not broken, don't "fix" it.
shelby • 19 Feb 2015, 8:07 PM
Ah man I think this is great. I think this is a great improvement, now we don't have to worry about creatures not evolving. 😸
shelby • 19 Feb 2015, 8:08 PM
@bubblez It was kind of broken. Feeds not resetting, Views not Updating, Creatures not evolving. It did need to be fixed.
