Updated Cave Functionality

The Cave functionality has been changed greatly.

You can now see the species of the creature before you decide to steal it from the Egg Cave. This will help cut down on the number of unwanted eggs in Ark (since the Egg Cave staff does not support the abandonment of creatures).

Instead of being able to adopt only 10 eggs per day, you may now only make 10 attempted steals per day (regardless of whether or not you adopt the creature).

We hope you enjoy this new and amazing feature! Fun and cool new species are up next!

OMS Ian this update is awsome! I got a honk on my first try! I ❤️ this site, going to try for rare eggs now 😃

accat • 30 Jan 2010, 2:40 PM

Hehe, does anybody else already find it fun to keep approaching eggs just for the fun of it? xD

joy • 30 Jan 2010, 2:40 PM

I see different ones as well. This is almost as great as the trade feature. Now I can hunt for a Mo and not make tons of extra eggs. 😃

auraboros • 30 Jan 2010, 2:45 PM

Sweet!

auraboros • 30 Jan 2010, 2:51 PM

Hrm. I see only Unhemns...

smarties2218 • 30 Jan 2010, 2:53 PM

FANTASTIC!!

amers • 30 Jan 2010, 2:53 PM

I see different ones too. Must be some kind of cache issue for some people?

smarties2218 • 30 Jan 2010, 2:54 PM

@Accat. Yess. There is a sort of thrill, isn't there?

3heartbreaker3 • 30 Jan 2010, 2:56 PM

how do some ppl see different ones? i keep seeing the same ones...and my friend said she has to keep logging out to see different ones...

smartie2742 • 30 Jan 2010, 2:56 PM

Yay! I got two eggs I needed! Thanks so much Ian!!!! Now every day I can try getting that mo!

smartie2742 • 30 Jan 2010, 2:57 PM

@users seeing the same eggs- are you clicking the "refresh" button at the bottom or are you clicking on "The Cave" tab on top?

smartie2742 • 30 Jan 2010, 2:58 PM

Cuz I clicked on "The Cave" to return to the front page. So if you haven't, try doing that.

smarties2218 • 30 Jan 2010, 3:09 PM

We hope you enjoy this new and amazing feature! Fun and cool new species are up next! Oh! I can't wait!

neo428984 • 30 Jan 2010, 3:10 PM

I don't understand people seeing only one type of creature, I tried (more than 10 times, btw) and got a different egg every time. What I

neo428984 • 30 Jan 2010, 3:11 PM

wanted to say was that I was able to see more than 10 eggs today...is that right?

silverserpent • 30 Jan 2010, 3:13 PM

New species on the way! Yaaay! More birds, please!!! 😸

accat • 30 Jan 2010, 3:21 PM

I like that we can continue approaching even after the 10 attempts, I feel like I`m taking a walk in the cave and staring at all the eggs xD

accat • 30 Jan 2010, 3:22 PM

Of course after seeing more than 10 eggs an invisible force will stop me from stealing any egg, but at least I can still see them, lol

lilones • 30 Jan 2010, 3:28 PM

Love this, but after we have attempted 10 times could you stop us from attempting. I would just die and cry if I attempted and saw a Mo

lilones • 30 Jan 2010, 3:29 PM

and couldn't get it . Please I don't want to cry!

dragonkeeper • 30 Jan 2010, 3:34 PM

cool update

dragonkeeper • 30 Jan 2010, 3:37 PM

I just tried it I only saw only one kind of egg no matter whare I chose

dionaea • 30 Jan 2010, 3:50 PM

Wow, this is awesome, this will definitely mean less unwanted eggs 😃 Thanks Ian, you're the best 😊

solaris • 30 Jan 2010, 3:53 PM

That is a great idea! Way to go!!! 😃

thursdays_dove • 30 Jan 2010, 3:58 PM

Excellent idea! This makes me very happy. Thank you so much, Ian! 😃

hellogoodbye • 30 Jan 2010, 4:02 PM

brilliant. 😊

dragonkeeper • 30 Jan 2010, 4:10 PM

so far for a defernt egg to show up for me I have too wait a bit and then go back too the cave

3heartbreaker3 • 30 Jan 2010, 4:12 PM

ya i mean it is a good idea but when i refresh it still shows me obarns and i do not want a ton of obarns!!!

turkishdelight • 30 Jan 2010, 4:32 PM

I have tried refreshing and clicking on The Cave tab, but all I see are Mekiis! Is there another trick I can try?

auraboros • 30 Jan 2010, 4:39 PM

Like dragonkeeper I only see different eggs if I wait a while before going back to the cave.

turkishdelight • 30 Jan 2010, 4:43 PM

I logged out and then logged back in again, but I still only see Mekiis. I guess I should have waited longer. I'll be back in an hour then!

dragonkeeper • 30 Jan 2010, 4:44 PM

it dosent aways work for me thou I wated 10 minutes before going back and it still the same egg

silverserpent • 30 Jan 2010, 5:03 PM

That doesn't sound good. Think about Terron time. I don't want to get stuck with just one type of egg then. :/

ambsie • 30 Jan 2010, 5:13 PM

i tried to approch again, and i still see alkubs and i have also clicked refresh the page and on top of that i also f5 refreshed.

cricketory • 30 Jan 2010, 5:26 PM

YAY thanks ian!

smarties2218 • 30 Jan 2010, 5:38 PM

Weird. I get all sorts of eggs. I use the refresh thingy at the bottom of the page. 0_0

asa • 30 Jan 2010, 5:42 PM

@smarties2218 same here, i havent got the same one twice O_o

galewinds • 30 Jan 2010, 5:42 PM

I tried it, just to see how it worked. It worked fine for me, I got a different egg each time I tried. Thanks Ian, it works fine.

auraboros • 30 Jan 2010, 5:49 PM

@ silverserpent: Unless all you see are Terrons. xD

yoshidanezumi • 30 Jan 2010, 5:54 PM

all i see are savarabs...

silverserpent • 30 Jan 2010, 6:00 PM

@ auraboros That would be totally awesome! xD

tirian • 30 Jan 2010, 6:30 PM

YESSS! I love this feature 😃 I vote a sheep for the next animal. 😊 btw can people feed my priorities? I'll feed back 😃

dragonkeeper • 30 Jan 2010, 6:41 PM

I tryed it again just now it seams like I have too wait like an hour or so too get a defrent egg

dragonkeeper • 30 Jan 2010, 6:44 PM

I vote a unicorn for the next pet

converse • 30 Jan 2010, 6:56 PM

mellyottl • 30 Jan 2010, 7:06 PM

Wow, got a honk. Thanks 😊

mellyottl • 30 Jan 2010, 7:07 PM

oh, and all five eggs are the same. I have clicked gone back and clicked a different one but all same species 😋

iceiceice • 30 Jan 2010, 7:12 PM

ooo cool...

smartie2742 • 30 Jan 2010, 7:23 PM

I wonder if it's the web browser you guys are using (those who keep getting the same egg). I'm on Safari and all is well.

wen • 30 Jan 2010, 7:31 PM

wow this thing is amazing o.o I can finally stop getting too many eggs
