Search feature, wall updates

August 26, 2009 at 3:28 PM

NEW EGG CAVE SEARCH - You can now search through every user and egg in Ark! The search box is located on the right-hand navigation. This will allow you to find your friends easier... or make new ones. :)

Gender and country data are displayed in the search results. If you do not want this data displayed anywhere, you can select "Not Telling" for both your gender and country on the Account Settings page.

WALL UPDATES - On your "extended wall" (i.e. when you click "View All Comments" on your wall), there are now only 25 comments displayed per page. No more endless page loading for extended walls! Hurrah!

As of right now, the most common requests from users are for a trading/adoption center, gender changer, and egg renamer feature. Rest assured that all of these features will be released soon in the coming weeks when Ark City is all done. Since Ark City is a bigger project than we anticipated, it's going to be released in stages. Please remember that we're a new site and still trying to "balance things out" with all of the appropriate features, evolution stages, evolution difficulty, etc.

Thanks for being a part of the #1 fastest growing egg site in the world! Whoot!

oh well thats pretty cool! feed my eggs!

brendan • 26 Aug 2009, 5:07 PM

I have one question should we be reporting comments that say feed my eggs, pets, ect.? I haven't been here for long, but I've been seeing a

brendan • 26 Aug 2009, 5:08 PM

lot of it and its kind of spammy.

Ian • 26 Aug 2009, 5:10 PM

if people are begging, then submit it in. however, people are allowed to ask. 😊

joy • 26 Aug 2009, 5:23 PM

I love the new search and comments features! I'm also glad to hear Ark City will be in stages, it's more exciting that way! 😸

parfaite • 26 Aug 2009, 6:02 PM

Nice new features keep on the good work 😉

bobistaken • 26 Aug 2009, 6:45 PM

along with the adoption, there would have to be an abandon function. and maybe you could like sell your pets?

cheesy_morgan • 26 Aug 2009, 9:37 PM

Glad to hear about the updates. 😃

bobistaken • 27 Aug 2009, 1:31 AM

ooh and maybe you could breed pets?

bobistaken • 27 Aug 2009, 2:48 PM

ooh and a forum too

joy • 27 Aug 2009, 3:11 PM

I just thought of a new feature: A Notepad. A place where you could jot down things to remember, instead of writing it on your profile. 😸

gabyiam • 27 Aug 2009, 3:58 PM

I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!! 😊

gr82bhpy • 27 Aug 2009, 4:23 PM

WOO HOO!

kopakasheild • 27 Aug 2009, 8:27 PM

Ark city will be so great. Is there anyway you could turn the constroction of it into some sort of plot for us? With an uber egg as a reward

kopakasheild • 27 Aug 2009, 8:28 PM

We could somehow battle a giant monster that is destroying Ark city. xDDD

babyblue939 • 28 Aug 2009, 8:43 AM

i honestly think its a great idea!

jitteuh • 28 Aug 2009, 11:39 AM

Hi! I'm new here! I love this site! 😃

chantal07 • 29 Aug 2009, 1:34 AM

i think we should have some kind of monetary system or you could play games for more feeds? something like that

kyrrielle • 29 Aug 2009, 11:23 AM

Does Egg Cave have a Face Book community?

nico • 29 Aug 2009, 1:52 PM

Feeding adults is very likely to put me off in the long-term. A method of freezing them at desired stages might be helpful. 😊

kyrrielle • 29 Aug 2009, 3:26 PM

If we end up having a "freeze" option that'll make this too much like other pet adoption sites. I'd like to see Egg Cave remain unique.

kopakasheild • 29 Aug 2009, 4:18 PM

Yes, but we still need a way to feed adults. I want to feed my other eggs but my adult is getting in the way but I like my adults.

kyrrielle • 29 Aug 2009, 6:28 PM

I'd like to see a way to perhaps PvP matured pets with those of our friends if it were possible. Perhaps each species move it could use?

joy • 29 Aug 2009, 6:35 PM

I agree with kyrrielle. I like the way you have to be active on here to keep your pets. They are living things, of course they need food. 😸

brendan • 29 Aug 2009, 6:40 PM

Personally having to feed the pets in order for them to live is one of the most unappealing aspects of this site for me. What if we're away?

brendan • 29 Aug 2009, 6:41 PM

All of our pets can die no matter how much effort you put into getting them there like for example if for one reason or another I was away

brendan • 29 Aug 2009, 6:43 PM

from the computer; be it from vacation or another reason, I would be upset if Tempest (for example) were to have died while I was away. I'm

brendan • 29 Aug 2009, 6:44 PM

ok with having eggs die, but adult pets are different. I know things need to be fed to stay alive but honestly I would rather have adults

brendan • 29 Aug 2009, 6:45 PM

not being required to be fed. (the 140 character limit needs to be raised o_O) ALso when a pet dies does the name become available again?

kyrrielle • 29 Aug 2009, 7:28 PM

All you need to do is ask someone to baby sit your eggs if you're going away. A lot of people on my friend list are doing that already.

kyrrielle • 29 Aug 2009, 7:30 PM

By the way, I agree with the character limit for messages needing to be expanded, it is way too small.

cheesy_morgan • 29 Aug 2009, 9:30 PM

Brendan, it's just like if you have to leave a RL pet behind when you're on vacation. You get someone to take care of them for you. 😊

brendan • 29 Aug 2009, 11:20 PM

And if they forget to feed it? (there are a lot of careless people in the world) thats just my view on it I don't expect it to be changed.

axiste • 30 Aug 2009, 10:01 AM

Yep, one of my eggs died recently and the name went back to being untaken/free. --- I keep checking back for new updates; can't wait! 😃

kyrrielle • 30 Aug 2009, 1:38 PM

Maybe there could be a hotel function for people who are going to be away and don't trust others to feed their eggs?

bobistaken • 30 Aug 2009, 3:37 PM

ya i like that idea. there should be a hotel thing. that could also be used as a storage box. you can only have a certain amount on hand.

bobistaken • 30 Aug 2009, 3:38 PM

and they wont die or grow and cant be fed while they are in the hotel. that solves a lot of the problems

jitteuh • 30 Aug 2009, 3:58 PM

yeah that's a really good idea!

cheesy_morgan • 30 Aug 2009, 4:11 PM

Well if someone forgot to feed my RL pets while I was away, I'd be severely ticked and make sure they have no credibility left. You should

cheesy_morgan • 30 Aug 2009, 4:11 PM

probably get more than one person to feed your eggs if you're unsure. 😉

dexterr67 • 30 Aug 2009, 5:55 PM

Hey i have a question, only eggs can die?

kopakasheild • 30 Aug 2009, 7:30 PM

No, even adults can die. So I suggest focusing on adults more than eggs. Better if the eggs die than the adults.

xepha • 30 Aug 2009, 11:44 PM

I've a very simple suggestion. Don't adopt more eggs than the amount you are willing to take care.

brendan • 31 Aug 2009, 12:18 AM

well some people may want a certain species/egg so they might need to adopt more and then they may not want the eggs they got to die.

iluv_4ever97 • 31 Aug 2009, 3:19 AM

Im so happy about it~! can there be a function when you can change you eggies to any stage? I really am tired of only having eggies... -.-

Ian • 31 Aug 2009, 8:44 AM

i am writing all of these suggestions down 😃 thanks. remember, we're a new site, so give us some time to implement these features.

kopakasheild • 31 Aug 2009, 8:49 AM

Yayz. xD

kopakasheild • 31 Aug 2009, 8:51 AM

You know what I love? I'm on 3 different sites all making huge and exciting updates currently that everyone is waiting for. I love this. : D

Ian • 31 Aug 2009, 9:41 AM

haha, that is amazing 😃

xepha • 1 Sep 2009, 7:07 PM

Well it's the first time Ian works on an adoption site, but from knowing him, I can tell you he always come around to do updates he promises
