Updated Version 3 Transition

April 20, 2017 at 6:00 PM

VERSION 3 TRANSITION - Egg Cave will be transitioning to version 3, an updated look and design for the web site, on 24 April 2017 beginning at 9:00 AM ECT. It's the same game and community you love, with a brand new look!

Like the previous transition, we estimate that this maintenance will last between 6-9 hours. During this maintenance, the site will be offline and you will not have access to your account. About 2-3 hours into the transition, your creature images will be back online.

We're back and confident in this transition!


Since the last attempted transition a few weeks ago, we discovered multiple points of failure that we believe we have fixed. We apologize for the downtime on that day and for any inconvenience caused. We're much more confident in this second try at version 3 and are confident that the site will run better than ever.

Thank you!

jello • 20 Apr 2017, 6:22 PM

I just transferred a third of my cove to @honeybadger when it could've been a lot easier with V3.

shirona • 20 Apr 2017, 6:22 PM

If it doesn't work again...just...just...leave eggcave the way it is! xP

bun • 20 Apr 2017, 6:23 PM

Darn, I was hoping it would take longer, lol. I'll miss v2, it looks better. Good lucky with the transition, I supppse!

Orderedchaos • 20 Apr 2017, 6:24 PM

@element It has to change. You want to new features added to the site, we need to update the code, we cant do that in v2.

kat-chan • 20 Apr 2017, 6:25 PM

Well hopefully I guess everything will work out this time Ima miss V2 a lot though :'c

gogetavegito2498 • 20 Apr 2017, 6:25 PM

shirona • 20 Apr 2017, 6:27 PM

@Orderedchaos - I know, I was j/k. I'll have an eggcave withdrawal if the update doesn't happen this time.

jjlapple • 20 Apr 2017, 7:39 PM

GoodLuck eggcave....but I love version 2 I'm thinking of quitting if I don't like version 3 much... (NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO)

tash • 20 Apr 2017, 7:48 PM

Better not leave us in suspense again x_x

mastergemma • 20 Apr 2017, 8:11 PM

@jjlapple Like all things new, it will take some time to get used to. Give it a long, hard thought and a few weeks before deciding.

jjlapple • 20 Apr 2017, 8:12 PM

I know...

jjlapple • 20 Apr 2017, 8:13 PM

@mastergemma I don't really like changes...but I know I have to deal with it in life so 😋 (i'm not quitting)

lykhaos117 • 20 Apr 2017, 8:32 PM

So excited! 😃

novrain62 • 20 Apr 2017, 10:27 PM

I will miss V2, too 😱 I really think it's beautiful. I must have thought that on V1, also, but I don't remember now hahaha Good Luck!

prairie • 20 Apr 2017, 10:43 PM

Best of luck to Eggcave Staff!! 😃 I know you guys can do it!! 😸 ❤ī¸

icymuffin • 20 Apr 2017, 10:58 PM

@novrain62 Sometimes I still kind of miss V1's dark, dark green and grey. Felt a bit like a cave, haha~

jello • 20 Apr 2017, 10:59 PM

The part I am most excited about is more frequent oasis and ts and 20 creature lots.

novrain62 • 20 Apr 2017, 11:00 PM

@icymuffin - definitely! lol

degong • 20 Apr 2017, 11:04 PM

Yay~! 😃 There are so many new, amazing features I'm looking forward too. Go Eggcave Staff~! ^-^

wolfplay245 • 20 Apr 2017, 11:13 PM

OOOOOOOO so excited!! 😃 you guys are great and im glad i came back to this wonderful site!

veritaspunk • 20 Apr 2017, 11:27 PM

@raccoon @element The saying in Arkian society must be "Second Time's A Charm" instead of a Third. 😉

shirona • 20 Apr 2017, 11:30 PM

@veritaspunk - Ooooh, that's perfect! xP Better be or I will really get eggcave withdrawal on Monday if waiting 6-9 hours was just in vain.

thaliel • 20 Apr 2017, 11:35 PM

keeping my fingery crossed it will work out this time.

veritaspunk • 20 Apr 2017, 11:35 PM

@element Then again in a sense that could mean V2 or Attempt 2 at V3 .. or both :shrug" I just hope it doesn't look like St Paddy on LSD 😋

shirona • 20 Apr 2017, 11:40 PM

@veritaspunk - I just want coves and creature profiles to be neat and compact ;.; What do you consider LSD to be? Too much green?

veritaspunk • 20 Apr 2017, 11:48 PM

@element My creature image on right instead of left on my profile was trippy enough 😋

asbe • 21 Apr 2017, 12:32 AM

Still not sure I will like it very much. New auctions are... weird :/

murfijs • 21 Apr 2017, 12:57 AM

some time ago v3 started crashing my browser i hope its fixed

sybil_howlett • 21 Apr 2017, 1:27 AM

YAY I can't wait, I really love V3 😃 but I'll miss V2 ☚ī¸

333 • 21 Apr 2017, 1:51 AM

Wooh! Good luck!

jello • 21 Apr 2017, 7:34 AM

@asbe I don't use auctions that much, so... I'm kinda neutral to that change.

sparklefox • 21 Apr 2017, 11:02 AM

Let's hope it's alright this time.

asbe • 21 Apr 2017, 11:31 AM

@jellifysh Well, I do...

skyfall4 • 21 Apr 2017, 2:46 PM

Dun. Dun. DUUUNNNN! 😃
