[Resolved] Service Announcement

March 21, 2010 at 10:46 PM

Hi everybody!

Egg Cave has experienced some massive growth within the recent weeks! It's no surprise that our server eventually had some hiccups today. We got overloaded with visitors! This is a fantastic thing. ;D But we feel bad for our poor server -- it crashed.

We've been down for a couple of hours, but we think the site is stable again (we're back!). :D If we do go down again, everything's safe and fine; just hang tight and we'll be back soon.

Thanks for being a part of Egg Cave as we grow a ton together!

UPDATE: Egg Cave is currently in the process of moving servers. If, at any time, Egg Cave becomes inaccessible don't worry -- we'll most definitely be back. After the move, Egg Cave will be much faster! Thank you for your patience.

UPDATE 2: Move complete!

It's horrible! Server is always very slow.I need sometimes 1 minute to feed one egg. also these big flash-advertisments are making site slow

Totally missed the crash, heh. *steals views*

silverserpent • 22 Mar 2010, 6:29 AM

So it's up again? Cool! That's why EC need moneeeh. To buy server food. 😋

whitefall • 22 Mar 2010, 10:49 AM

I thought EggCave was hacked or something, I kept on refreshing for 2 hours, waiting for the picture but it kept on saying Server Overload.~

whitefall • 22 Mar 2010, 10:50 AM

I thought my pets were all going to die ☚ī¸ Did you guys know that there are around 15 different backgrounds if you come on around 8 EggCave~

whitefall • 22 Mar 2010, 10:51 AM

Time. The background my Macaw Birchheart has is cheaper than the Ark Fields, and it's the forest one, it's pretty on Macaws 😊 Check him out

love23bug • 22 Mar 2010, 12:06 PM

@kitty- I'm sorry...if it makes you feel any better, I didn't buy the Rhinedorf egg, I traded for it. I don't want to spend money on pixels.

deu • 22 Mar 2010, 12:31 PM

Wheeeeeeeee ^^

love23bug • 22 Mar 2010, 1:43 PM

Ian's Reply: At this point, no. EC will not be able to be converted to CaveCash. However, CC will someday be able to be converted to EC.

love23bug • 22 Mar 2010, 1:46 PM

<---- *sob* NOOOO!

elluwah • 22 Mar 2010, 1:52 PM

Gahh, that sucks T__T

love23bug • 22 Mar 2010, 1:53 PM

"EC can be converted into cash to be used at the cash shop... Egg Cave will ALWAYS BE FREE" <--What happened to that?!

sparklefox • 22 Mar 2010, 2:08 PM

It went down? I wasn't there for that, and I wished I was.

smarties2218 • 22 Mar 2010, 2:22 PM

Cool idea Victoria! Some people will appreciate it! 😃 Anywho, I wasn't online for it but some new people sound great! I hope some forums -c
