The new Today's Feed area has been improved. Now, instead of displaying a list of creatures, the page displays a list of users who have been doing the feeding. Click the number next to the user to see the list of individual creatures that user has fed for the day.
In addition, the Total Feeds Today count is now fixed (it was displaying a maximum of 100, which was wrong). These stats reset every day at 12:00 AM ECT.
Check it out and let us know what you think!
These scary vampire plushies are now restocking at the Toy Shop... be careful! They want to suck your blood!
The legendary Gobbler and Knitten return next month in November! The legendary Gobbler will be available for 1500 CC each and the Knitten will be available for 1000 CC each. These two are the most voted-for creatures to be unvaulted from this month's poll!
The results are as follows:

@Ian will be any restrictions about hoarding re-realizes? something like 1 critter per user to help EVERYONE get a chance to buy them? or things stays the same for minorities with cash? just curious, no negativity 💓
mindwhiper • 16 Oct 2023, 7:48 PM
@daisycat cmooooooon, guys want our money, nothing more)))
Ian • 16 Oct 2023, 8:21 PM
@mindwhiper already addressed. There's a limit of one per user per minute for rereleases. This helps give everybody an equal chance so that you can't button smash to obtain 24 unvaulted creatures in 2 seconds.

The Today's Feeds update is beautiful, thank you for working so fast on that!!
Ian • 16 Oct 2023, 8:25 PM
@mythisea glad you like it! Of course! ❤️

Knitten! :0 I may have to finally cave in and get this one
heatherm19 • 16 Oct 2023, 9:22 PM
Given that the more popular rereleases can sell out each 'wave' within *seconds*, I don't think anything more than the one minute cooldown is needed. I do like that there is a cooldown though, if only because I fear the site would crash from the strain of the button-smashers! lol
Ian • 16 Oct 2023, 11:14 PM
@heatherm19 exactly. A larger cooldown isn’t needed. Everybody gets a chance to get one.
chaotictreat • 16 Oct 2023, 11:22 PM
OMG KNITTEN AND GOBBLER AAAAAAA TAKE MY MONEY
Also loving the improvement on the today's feeds page! Would it also be possible to add a way to view all feeds for specific creatures?
snowywinter • 17 Oct 2023, 12:05 AM
I'm confused about something & debated not saying anything because I don't want the Gobbler to get taken away as many of us have been asking for its return for years. but it wasn't even an option on the poll so was this a posting error or was my poll glitchy? (Forum? Ticket?)
dragiigy • 17 Oct 2023, 2:40 AM
@Ian, is it possible, that in strongold only Toys or only Travels or... are shown? And why we cant see voting results?
sprite • 17 Oct 2023, 9:15 AM
Good changes for feeds. Love the new Vampire plushie. WHOAH Gobbler!
mindwhiper • 17 Oct 2023, 11:12 AM
@Ian this is an interesting solution, thank you. and what about the users who will be able to negotiate with each other to sit and catch creatures every minute? it seems to me that people will quickly understand that this is a good way to abuse the system.
mindwhiper • 17 Oct 2023, 11:20 AM
@Ian also (if it possible, if not - just tell us) - it would be great if we CAN see some results of our votes during the month. I don't know how difficult it could be to release on site, but right now we just believe you on words, and it's... not pleasant for some reasons.
mindwhiper • 17 Oct 2023, 11:22 AM
I also apologize in advance for the straightforwardness of the questions, but it's time to start asking them more often, such as about the implementation of galleries or a list of purchased items in user stores (because it's relevant for now).
daisycat • 17 Oct 2023, 12:15 PM
@snowywinter I saw it listed in my poll. 😱
jlya • 17 Oct 2023, 12:32 PM
Surprised for the Knitten already but I was pretty sure about the Gobbler 😊 Glad I've actually got both from their original release! ❤️ @ian I actually appreciate the price bump for extremely rare creatures. I think it protects their economy. Thanks for listening to feedback! ^^
jlya • 17 Oct 2023, 12:34 PM
"Legendary Gobbler" ❤️ Wanted to also put my support for showing all feeds for one particular creature. Like to see how many users fed your profile critter today 😊
snowywinter • 17 Oct 2023, 1:53 PM
@daisycat I had Goblar (Entirely different creature, but 1000% cute & Awesome!) Even took screenshots of the list.
sapphire12 • 17 Oct 2023, 1:58 PM
@snowywinter @orderedchaos (?) Maybe a clarification on why the Goblar was ineligible?
snowywinter • 17 Oct 2023, 2:07 PM
@sapphire12 It was the Gobbler that was supposedly ineligible. Ian said in years past but I have no idea if in a blog post or Forums. / The Goblar would still get my money but I am REALLY hoping they don't backtrack on the Gobbler unvaulting. (maybe a 3 release exception?!)
Ian • 17 Oct 2023, 2:14 PM
@snowywinter why would the Gobbler be supposedly ineligible in your view?
daisycat • 17 Oct 2023, 2:18 PM
@snowywinter I recall seeing both the Gobbler and the Goblar in my options. 🤔
sapphire12 • 17 Oct 2023, 2:19 PM
@snowywinter just to make sure youre not confused, gobbler is turkey csp; goblar is halloween dragon that was first available in the cave , hence not rerelease eligible i think
@daisycat I also glimpsed both I think
taunter • 17 Oct 2023, 2:20 PM
@snowywinter Perhaps it was an individual issue as I was able to vote for the gobbler (the first stage is so adorable).
snowywinter • 17 Oct 2023, 2:22 PM
Sent a ticket. I think things were getting too confused here. (But yes, I'm SURE I only had Goblar, the Halloween goblin on my list.)
Orderedchaos • 17 Oct 2023, 2:23 PM
@sapphire12 The Gobler isn't ineligible. It was originally released in the CSP, so it's eligible to be unvaulted. And I'm pretty sure Ian has never said that there was a CSP that couldn't be unvaulted.
Heck, the Doovoo and Macbot got unvaulted.
sapphire12 • 17 Oct 2023, 2:23 PM
@Orderedchaos the Goblar T ^ T with an a
Orderedchaos • 17 Oct 2023, 2:24 PM
Urg, Gobbler (turkey) not Gobler (gremlin), stupid double letter
Orderedchaos • 17 Oct 2023, 2:25 PM
The Goblar (candy gremlin) was a released initially in the Cave as part of the Halloween Bash of 2010. The same event as the Hallowolf. If the Goblar comes back it will be in the VEND, just like the Hallowolf.
Orderedchaos • 17 Oct 2023, 2:27 PM
Voting pulls its lists from all creatures of a particular month that have the CSP tag in the Archives. That means that sometimes things that would actually be relased in the VEND show up (like Goblar, Hallowolf, ect). So if you saw both Goblar and Gobbler that's why
Ian • 17 Oct 2023, 2:28 PM
@daisycat Gobbler was in the options, just confirmed.
snowywinter • 17 Oct 2023, 2:28 PM
(main point is being lost among the eligibility qustion.) 100% sure Gobbler (turkey) was NOT on *my* poll list anywhere to be able to vote on. Goblar (goblin) was.
Ian • 17 Oct 2023, 2:30 PM
@snowywinter Gobbler was in the options list. top vote tally was for: Gobbler, Knitten, Mummar, Halldrag, Hallowolf, Orciel, Copioat, Goblar, Autuwl, and Peeturk. The Goblar, Autuwl, and Peeturk had a low number of votes.
Orderedchaos • 17 Oct 2023, 2:30 PM
Ian just confirmed that it was. It is possible that because the two names are so similar that your eyes skipped over the one.
snowywinter • 17 Oct 2023, 2:32 PM
(well, with Ian confirming Gobbler was there... I'll have to send screenshots. Bug found.)
snowywinter • 17 Oct 2023, 2:57 PM
After another visit to the porcelain bowl of scrying I got some clarity. Snowywinter derped again. The system is working as it should. *headdesk* Carry on. (I only seen the list *after* the choices were made, thus they were no longer eligible >.<)
Ian • 17 Oct 2023, 3:04 PM
@snowywinter 😊
Ian • 17 Oct 2023, 3:05 PM
Feel better soon!
snowywinter • 17 Oct 2023, 3:07 PM
(I so wish I could go back and delete today's derpy posts. SO embarrassed... but this has already been so seen. SO, so seen. Thank you to the whole Eggcave team for your patience. And Ian for that detailed explanation in the Ticket. Apologies to my fellow players. ❤️ )
redflipflap • 17 Oct 2023, 9:00 PM
HOW did the autuwl get low votes T-T I just wanna talk y'all, we can work this out
dragiigy • 18 Oct 2023, 3:43 AM
Why we cant see results of voting? I want some democracy 😃 😃
dragiigy • 18 Oct 2023, 3:45 AM
From Today's Feeds: Deleted 13 . What does it means? I believe, there is no player "Deleted" 😊 Thanks for answer.
daisycat • 18 Oct 2023, 9:25 AM
@dragiigy I have a side account with that name, but I didn't feed your cove with it. And when I do feed your cove, I typically feed all (from this account). Maybe it's possible it's a user that is now deleted? *shrug* Idk, that doesn't seem to make sense, either.
sparklefox • 18 Oct 2023, 3:37 PM
@dragiigy - I noticed a "Deleted" user yesterday and today as well. Part of me is wondering if it's maybe logged out users, since I have some creatures on Yarolds.
Orderedchaos • 18 Oct 2023, 4:54 PM
@dragiigy @sparklefox I just tested this, "Deleted" shows up when someone who is not logged in feeds your creatures.
Ian • 18 Oct 2023, 5:01 PM
@Orderedchaos @sparklefox @daisycat @dragiigy changed to "Unregistered guests" on Today's Feeds (instead of Deleted)
