Egg Cave Maintenances Tonight

UPDATE 11:13 PM: All maintenances have been completed and have been successful. See you at midnight for CRW.

Egg Cave's datacenter will be upgrading our servers with a security patch for the Meltdown and Specter bugs computing devices tonight starting at around 9 PM and then again at 11 PM. The site may become inaccessible, display "database error" for a period of time, and various system tasks may not complete (i.e. things like daily resets).

Unfortunately, our datacenter gives us only a maintenance window and not an exact time of when our servers will be affected. Rest assured that, once the maintenance is completed, we will perform any system tasks that weren't completed during the maintenance (like daily resets). Eggs and creatures will not die when the servers are offline, nor will they lose happiness.

While the maintenance window is scheduled to be several hours, Egg Cave will likely only go offline for a few minutes. If you notice any hiccups tonight, that's why.

Thank you for your patience. This is not a software or site-related update — this is a physical hardware update for our servers.

If there's a hiccup, we'll be back!
