A number of users have contacted me and made a very strong case against our ban on link exchange services (if you don't know what this is, don't worry), even in light of my goal (which I posted earlier). As these users have spoken up (which I am thankful that they have), I have discovered that community on Egg Cave can still happen, even with people using these "link exchange services." Therefore, since I realize that my goal can be accomplished in spite of the use of link exchange services, link exchange services have been unblocked and will be counted towards your creatures stats. I am leaving discretion in the hands of our users. It should be our users that make the choice. If you don't feel link exchange services are right, then don't use them. If you want to, you may. Egg Cave shouldn't be a site where users are told everything they can't do. It's up to you. You spoke -- I listened! On another hand, Tim is preparing to open his Food Shoppe (coming soon):

That is nice- now everything is back to normal
silversimplicity • 13 Oct 2009, 7:08 PM
I'm excited for the food shop! And I'm glad that the controversy over the link exchanges has finally been resolved.
joy • 13 Oct 2009, 7:22 PM
I love how you listen to the players, just one more reason why this site (and you!) rock. ❤️ We all appreciate the work you do. 😸
maryummy • 13 Oct 2009, 7:38 PM
Aw good job on making the decision.. 😊 Can't wait for the food shop !!
egglover10 • 13 Oct 2009, 8:06 PM
Joy-I know right? There are sites where people don't care about complaints!!!
chatial • 13 Oct 2009, 8:23 PM
Joy;; I third that. :'3
vixibelle • 13 Oct 2009, 8:26 PM
I agree with Joy! Thank you so much for this change, Ian!
valiant_link • 13 Oct 2009, 8:45 PM

tiger21 • 13 Oct 2009, 8:58 PM
Well i really cant wait for the food shoppe!! One question when is the tradeing center opening????
joy • 13 Oct 2009, 9:02 PM
@valiant_link - Lol. He owns a food shop and probably eats healthy, unlike most of our Mekii that eat Cupcakes, Hamburgers, & Chili Dogs. 😋
vixibelle • 13 Oct 2009, 10:23 PM
Vixi has a question that doesn't pertain what-so-ever to this update. lol Why was the abandonment fee raised from 4k to 5k?
xepha • 13 Oct 2009, 10:32 PM
I still won't use them. Not to offend anyone but I still feel it's not the right way to play this game.
cprather • 14 Oct 2009, 12:39 AM

guardianofthedragon • 14 Oct 2009, 1:22 AM
Thanks for all you do Ian. Im excited for the October Bash and Food shoppe.
roamingphantom • 14 Oct 2009, 6:19 AM
Food shoppe and October Bash!! XD This site is sooooo awesome~!! XD
bazoo • 14 Oct 2009, 6:47 AM
I'm happy I'm with Egg Cave 😊 Not like other sites out there, which don't give a duck about user feedback... 😊 And I still don't get what
link exchanges are!
haylin__19 • 14 Oct 2009, 7:31 AM
Did I get it right that link exchanges are really cheating cause they make your eggs hatch faster but they are allowed?
axiste • 14 Oct 2009, 8:29 AM
I'm sorry but what's the point then of even having v/c/f if you can generate them artificially to literally, cheat the system? ☹️ I'd like
axiste • 14 Oct 2009, 8:31 AM
to see different individual users hatch new eggs and not the same old person who's cove is obviously rigged by such links, steal the show.
axiste • 14 Oct 2009, 8:43 AM
EC's bread and butter is the process of evolving eggs and keeping critters alive. By allowing such programs, it's as if you're forsaking
axiste • 14 Oct 2009, 8:45 AM
the user's participation. Less people interacting, more link exchanges doing their thing - I don't see the community you envisioned. ☹️
vixibelle • 14 Oct 2009, 8:48 AM
Link exchanges do NOT generate views artificially!! It's not different than you putting your eggs in a forum sig really. Seriously. Ian..
haylin__19 • 14 Oct 2009, 9:09 AM
But can I create a side account if I promise to create only one?
axiste • 14 Oct 2009, 9:09 AM
But it gives an unfair advantage over those who don't use the link exchange services and unlike eggs in a siggy, it hardly contributes to
axiste • 14 Oct 2009, 9:11 AM
the advertisement of this site. Lol, sorry if I upset you or anything, you seemed quite peeved. I was just expressing my opinion just like
axiste • 14 Oct 2009, 9:12 AM
how those supporting link exchanges have so adamantly expressed their views. ^_~
mumbling • 14 Oct 2009, 9:28 AM
Hmm gees. Why did the price of pounding pets go up to 5k now... It's really getting bad now.
egglover10 • 14 Oct 2009, 9:53 AM
Hmm gees. Why did the price of pounding pets go up to 5k now... It's really getting bad now I'm not sure but this site is pretty exiteing
vixibelle • 14 Oct 2009, 10:11 AM
@ axiste: Sorry if I seemed to be attacking you personally. *hugs* I'm just sick of [everyone] going on about cheating when Ian himself...
vixibelle • 14 Oct 2009, 10:12 AM
agreed that it wasn't cheating. And I don't see how it's an unfair advantage when anyone can use a link exchange. Also, Ian has said this
vixibelle • 14 Oct 2009, 10:13 AM
is, and I'm paraphrasing here, a "competition free zone" so to speak, so what does it matter if we (exchange users) have "an advantage"?
axiste • 14 Oct 2009, 10:33 AM
Oh sorry. Jst that the words 'cheating' and 'artificially generated' were thrown around so often in the previous blog posts regarding this
axiste • 14 Oct 2009, 10:37 AM
matter, it had me thinking otherwise, heh. ;P Oh blah, I'll just try not to get annoyed whenever I have some same kid ruining the surprise
axiste • 14 Oct 2009, 10:42 AM
of the hatching process, haha. 😉
vixibelle • 14 Oct 2009, 10:48 AM
lol I understand how you feel as far ruining the surprise! Glad we can agree to disagree on this civilly. Just 1 reason I love this site!
losorlaugh • 14 Oct 2009, 11:33 AM
Hey Ian i'm confused that the other day the adandon price was 4,000 EC and now it's 5,000 EC but you havn't put it on the blog ...
mumbling • 14 Oct 2009, 12:42 PM
Yea it's an amazing site, though since you never know what egg you'll get it's kind of annoying with the high pound price...
andygal • 14 Oct 2009, 7:19 PM
heh don't think the pound price is that high. I can make at least 5k EC in a day. And I'm looking forward to new ways to spend EC. Got lots.
converse • 14 Oct 2009, 7:31 PM
*claps for ian!*Yay!Your awsome!
hedwig715 • 14 Oct 2009, 9:30 PM
Why did u make it 5000 EC?!!?! thts a lot! i prob only make tht much in 1 day!! why keep increasing the price?!?!
hedwig715 • 14 Oct 2009, 9:31 PM
first it was 3000 then 4000 and NOW 5000!! are u gonna keep doing this?!!?
brendan • 14 Oct 2009, 10:06 PM
You do realize you only have to feed 50 pets to get 5000 EC? Really if its that much of a problem don't abandon them let them die.
vixibelle • 14 Oct 2009, 10:27 PM
For me the problem isn't the cost: it's the fact that we weren't "warned" that it was increasing again.
_neokinzpet_ • 14 Oct 2009, 10:50 PM
What is Hydra? I can't seem to find that site.
xepha • 14 Oct 2009, 10:50 PM
Ian probably forgot to write it in the update... not a big deal. He's forgetful like that. 😋
brendan • 14 Oct 2009, 11:14 PM
Its a link exchange.
