The Macbot And Doovoo Are Returning

April 15, 2022 at 12:00 AM

Macbot & Doovoo Returning

Take a deep breath. Breathe in. Breathe out. Don't have a heart attack. The highly-coveted Macbot and Doovoo creatures are being unvaulted in May of 2022. Both of their prices will be 1500 CC. These creatures were last available 12 years ago in 2010.

As a reminder about rereleases... to protect creature values, a species population can only be doubled at most. Stock will be very low on these two creatures, as there are simply not that many of them on Egg Cave. Get ready!

@riceboysleeps To me, (perhaps cause I'm a old player) the tine seems to be at a good resting spot of 4k-5kcc atm, which is about what I'd consider a good amount. That value is achievable with hard work. It was the huge value drop at first was alarming, some went for 500cc.

I'm all for re-releases, but at the same time, the fun of trading and values does need to be savored. I do agree that with the re-releases for CSPs there is a big pay to collect system, and I'd love it if there was a way for dedicated, hard-working players to earn CC.

Wow.

riceboysleeps • 15 Apr 2022, 6:13 PM

@prairie Yes exactly! I am excited and willing to work hard and over many hours achieve millions of EC, but it means nothing when people won't accept it and they're only looking for the premium currency.

Sorry, don't mean to be a downer. Love that unobtainable creatures are being rereleased. They're still unobtainable for a lot of players who aren't able to spend tons of money here though. IMO it should be money AND hard work that gets you what you want. Not just money.

@riceboysleeps Totally! I think if would be a great thing for Eggcave to implement a system that rewards loyal, dedicated, and hard-working players of the site. Also it improves site relationships with its players.

While I absolutely do love the gobbler hunt and such; I personally don’t have the time to be on the site as much. So something such as weekly tasks/punchcards (a task a day), sign in rewards, birthday gift, etc would be nice

dang this is going to be tough

This is super cool! I kinda want to grab one for trading purposes if possible because I have some other creature goals. And if I can't trade for them then.... *patiently waits for the Nym and Spookcat to be re-released* xD

amberwater • 15 Apr 2022, 11:38 PM

@netherling I was actually thinking trisk+nym XD

whoa excited about macbot and doovoo, but uhh are my eyes failing or do eggcave colors look a little undersaturated? like overall?

netherling • 16 Apr 2022, 1:34 AM

@amberwater That would be great, I'm not sure what the Trisk's release month was but I think the Nym was in August. Since they re-release them by their original release months

amberwater • 16 Apr 2022, 2:37 AM

@netherling wait, really? I didn’t know that XD thanks!

Oh boy

random unpopular opinion but i feel like it would be nice if some pets were kept retired forever~ i'm not saying i don't support rerelease but this would help to keep trading fun and pets rare. personally, i'm scared to trade for old pets now and have turned down offers

senkou • 21 Apr 2022, 12:05 AM

because i'm scared they will get rereleased and lose half their value, and just in general, i don't see people interested in trading for old pets anymore since everyone thinks they will be rerel one day. this is coming from an old player who found ec fun mainly bcos of trading

senkou • 21 Apr 2022, 12:07 AM

and i've seen quite a few players leaving because of this/talking about the trading implications of rereleases.

prairie • 27 Apr 2022, 6:56 PM

@senkou While I do agree that re-releases deter trading somewhat at first, I will say the thing that is just as much fault to that is what value offers traders make after the re-release. I've seen offers for re-release creatures, but only of 1000cc-2000cc value.

prairie • 27 Apr 2022, 6:58 PM

I think certain popular CSPs that are re-released (like the doovoo and macbot: due to rarity if nothing else) will be up in value again; I already see the onny climbing more than others, just due to demand. I know I personally had missed crystar, so want to find one.

prairie • 27 Apr 2022, 6:59 PM

'Value Guides' also don't help much with the value of things being re-released, as it'll set the new sell price as a value but doesn't count for the up rise as soon as they run out.

prairie • 1 May 2022, 2:00 PM

Well this is going very interesting so far. I was all for the re-release of these 2, but it seems that the "population can only be doubled at most" went straight out the window. Ian said "about 30" doovoos are on sight. SO FAR as of round 2, at least 60 doovoos are sold.
