The Halloween Fair Is Back In 2016

October 1, 2016 at 12:00 AM

SITE DECORATIONS - Happy October! Welcome spookiness! Isn't it your favorite time of year? We've decorated the site to be spookier than normal, just like we usually do.

OCTOBER CASH SHOP MONTHLIES - These scary slimy creatures are available through the end of this month in the Cash Shop Park! This is the Mucustropod and Dytoroko.



HALLOWEEN FAIR 2016 - The Halloween Fair stands are back open for business all this month, including our annual Pumpkin Seed event. Visit the Halloween Fair stands and feed creatures around the site to gain Seeds, then spend them in the Fair Prize Shop.

It's my biggest prize offering of any Halloween Fair EVER!


NEW FAIR PRIZES - The Ocktin (user concept by @poptarts) is the newest seasonal creature to be added to the Prize Shop! And then some! Check it out.

TRICK-OR-TREAT PRIZE BAG UPDATES - Instead of bags containing a limited prize pool that doesn't change, you can receive any unretired item(s) within a certain rarity range from trick-or-treat bags in the Fair Prize Shop. Rarity ranges are listed below the item name. We hope that you find these bags even more valuable than before, since they offer so many more items!

FAIR LEADERBOARDS FROM 2015 - Want to view how players stacked up in last year's Halloween Fair (and Stargazing Leaderboards)? Check out the Year 2015.

OCTOBER CAVE MONTHLIES - These spooky Cave monthlies are now available through the end of this month. Get collecting! The Mefisto and Kernell have been found on Ark.



Thank you to @wererage and @hellhound for their concept for the Mefisto species.

HAUNTED DOLLHOUSES - If your creatures like to play with spookier things, perhaps they will like these haunted dollhouses. New from the Toy Shop.

    
Black Haunted Dollhouse Blue Haunted Dollhouse Orange Haunted Dollhouse Green Haunted Dollhouse 


EGG CAVE VERSION 3 - Did you know that we're crazy awesome into Egg Cave version 3 development? Follow previews on Facebook and Twitter. As we progress further through development, we will eventually hold a public forum with our players, asking them for their top suggestions that they'd love to see implemented. Stay tuned for more details!

A NOTE ON BOTTING - Using any kinds of automated programs or bots to increase your feeding is strictly forbidden, especially during this month. Human feeding only — that's the fun of the game! It also is really easy for Team Egg Cave to spot, so expect swift bans for all linked accounts if you bot.

@sunfire103 I think not 😊 as it doesnt automaticly feed 😊

Ian • 1 Oct 2016, 9:54 AM

@leafmelody bottling is using an automated program to feed creatures. If you don't know what that is or how to do it, you have nothing (...)

Ian • 1 Oct 2016, 9:55 AM

To worry about 😊

Ian • 1 Oct 2016, 9:55 AM

Thanks for your feedback on the art style this month -- it was a little bit of experiment and it's not our favorite to date either!

Ian • 1 Oct 2016, 9:56 AM

Long story short, November's and December's creatures will be much better and back to normal 😊

thedarkarcher • 1 Oct 2016, 10:22 AM

@ian im having a bit of issues loading some of the pages i dunno if it a glitch or not though (just on the fair events)

ethereality • 1 Oct 2016, 11:33 AM

@ian yes yes I love the 5 new creatures but am upset the #bowla didn't get made... And so happy for EC 3 Thread!!! Yas! But another seasonal

ethereality • 1 Oct 2016, 11:34 AM

...? Please EC staff no more Seasonals, it's no fun! ☚ī¸

metaphor • 1 Oct 2016, 11:56 AM

The first thing I thought when I saw the Mucustropod was that Spongebob's Gary had been possessed.

mooki • 1 Oct 2016, 12:14 PM

I love them all.

spell • 1 Oct 2016, 12:21 PM

Not a fan of the new creatures but I'll be trying to get some travels ^^

pipkitten • 1 Oct 2016, 12:28 PM

I think I'll be spending the majority of my seeds on travels. I'm not big on any of the creatures this month.

Ian • 1 Oct 2016, 12:29 PM

@motivecat we're keeping track of user suggestions -- rest assured! ❤ī¸

Ian • 1 Oct 2016, 12:29 PM

@motivecat really? But seasonals are available only for a time, then you have to wait for them to come back around! I think that they're fun

Ian • 1 Oct 2016, 12:29 PM

@mooki glad you like!

Ian • 1 Oct 2016, 12:30 PM

@pipkitten sorry to hear that -- art styles will be returning back to normal next month's release 😃 (as far as creatures go)

pipkitten • 1 Oct 2016, 12:37 PM

@Ian I'm looking forward to seeing next month's creatures! 😊

ethereality • 1 Oct 2016, 12:40 PM

@Ian there's no point of collecting them bc they will always be there the next year, and it makes devoted Eggcave players who can't buy cc

ethereality • 1 Oct 2016, 12:40 PM

A much harder time to get there dream coves, bc Seasonals from plots don't increase in value

ethereality • 1 Oct 2016, 12:41 PM

It's fun with one or two, like the Kinump or whatever, but there should atleast be 1 or 2 year exclusives

ethereality • 1 Oct 2016, 12:47 PM

I loved loved Halloween Fair '12 with the Gryp, Fangthatp, and the ghost horse thingy, and I fed so much bc I knew they would retire!

bill_nye_the_nazi_spy • 1 Oct 2016, 12:50 PM

back with this art style? disappointing since october is the month most people look forward to.

terron • 1 Oct 2016, 12:53 PM

@motivecat I think that new users who missed it from last year would look forward to it. Personally, even though I don't collect them

terron • 1 Oct 2016, 12:53 PM

it's nice to see them return in the cave every year.

momokie • 1 Oct 2016, 12:54 PM

@Ian,Just know there are people who really like the art style, the Snail Baby is precious and I adore the style/colors I want a full set ❤ī¸

momokie • 1 Oct 2016, 12:55 PM

I really like having seasonals 😱 Its like something to look forward too 😃 ❤ī¸

lykhaos117 • 1 Oct 2016, 1:21 PM

@piucca Mind sending me the links to the dA images? I like looking at the high resolution art. 😊

lykhaos117 • 1 Oct 2016, 1:27 PM

I'm personally okay with this art style except I wish the Dytoroko egg was shaped more like other eggs and the outlines were a bit bolder.

animegirlalways • 1 Oct 2016, 2:13 PM

To those looking for seeds, feel free to feed as many in my cove as you like and post on my wall if you'd like me to feed back. 😊

piucca • 1 Oct 2016, 3:24 PM

@lykhaos117 http://www.deviantart.com/art/Little-Critters-625081389 I think they are the same size :/ She did the art for last years.

lykhaos117 • 1 Oct 2016, 3:26 PM

@piucca Thank you! ❤ī¸

mooki • 1 Oct 2016, 3:34 PM

There is something wrong with the fair. The time left is 0:00 and it reloads rapidly.

maleficent • 1 Oct 2016, 6:18 PM

Halloween is always my favorite creatures to get. Unfortunately a huge miss this time around for me personally. Do like the travels!

leafmelody • 1 Oct 2016, 6:39 PM

@Ian Ok, thank you very much 😊 I don't use those, I hand feed ._. XD But I'm in the middle of a immortalising service someone is giving me

sunfire103 • 1 Oct 2016, 11:00 PM

I think if they want to re release seasonal perhaps should cost double for next year making them worth while to stock up on them...

sunfire103 • 1 Oct 2016, 11:06 PM

If in cave more rare each year. I'm finding it hard to bother trying for extra, so don't see point in crazy feeding like last year

sunfire103 • 1 Oct 2016, 11:13 PM

Plus more things to buy in the fair since more games/ways to win seeds.

dragonnn • 2 Oct 2016, 12:19 AM

The Site Trivia is messed up for today. :C

ambivalent • 2 Oct 2016, 1:04 AM

Not really a fan of the new creatures, hope they get nice trinkets! The new travels, along with the other prize shop travels, look amazing!

mrsgiggles • 2 Oct 2016, 3:01 AM

@Ian I actually like the art style. It is good to remember that complainers can be a vocal minority, so it may not be good to knee-jerk

mrsgiggles • 2 Oct 2016, 3:02 AM

change things just because a few people disagree. You should do what you think is best for the site as you can't please everyone.

veritaspunk • 2 Oct 2016, 4:26 AM

@mrsgiggles It's a wise business move to offer variety though rather than one and only. Referring to feedback as "complainers" is off base

veritaspunk • 2 Oct 2016, 4:26 AM

@mrsgiggles especially because the site encourages/solicits feedback

veritaspunk • 2 Oct 2016, 4:29 AM

@mrsgiggles It's eggcaves job with what they offer to convince me to engage with it

veritaspunk • 2 Oct 2016, 4:30 AM

@mrsgiggles The "minority" & "majority" should have equal place at the table not marginalized as the "complainers".

mrsgiggles • 2 Oct 2016, 5:05 AM

I disagree. Businesses are not democracy. The management decides which feedback to consider.

tash • 2 Oct 2016, 5:55 AM

I have to admit, i am really disappointed with these creatures, and i was really looking forward to them ☚ī¸

possiegal • 2 Oct 2016, 7:06 AM

Not too happy with the monthlies but will still hoard a few. I like the meifisto best

veritaspunk • 2 Oct 2016, 8:49 AM

@mrsgiggles At the core if they ask for feedback, it's nonsense to treat respondents as "complainers"There is usually a workplace democracy

veritaspunk • 2 Oct 2016, 8:51 AM

@tash I like experimental approaches, but as with cooking if I experiment with a new sauce I don't apply it to all meats. 😊
