Version 3 Transition Complete

April 24, 2017 at 5:58 PM

Maintenance Completed

Whew! Our second try and transitioning to version 3 is complete. That was quite a long time for a maintenance, wasn't it? We know, we know! You miss your creatures but rest assured that you can see them all now. We're back!

Continued Updates

We have brought eggcave.com back online, but there is some auxiliary data that we are still importing. Over the next little bit, we'll be importing the following account data from version 2:

  • Your version 2 private messages (mail) conversations (~6 hours)
  • The Forums search (~24 hours)
  • Your version 2 profile wall comments (both sent and received) COMPLETE
  • Your dead eggs or creatures for resurrection (this affects the Resurrection Stone) COMPLETE
  • Your old notifications (in the mean time, you'll still receive new notifications) COMPLETE

The reason this data is still pending is because it takes a lot of time to import. We will post another Site Blog update all four of these items are completed.

What's new?

Well... everything! We've put together a list of the biggest changes on the What's New page. It might feel a little long, but it's packed with tidbits to help you unlock the full power of the new site!

Bugs or problems?

We've tested version 3 for quite some time, but things can still break. Please report any pages that you receive an error at in the Forums. If the glitch ends up specifically affecting your account data like items, EC, CC, or any creatures (like a loss of something), please submit a ticket.

Stay tuned!

Stay tuned for more updates, including many more new creatures, things to do, and collect! We have an action-packed summer planned for Egg Cave and we can't wait to share everything with you all. We love you!

A giant space at the top O.o plus the text in blog comments overlap the profile creatures

degong • 24 Apr 2017, 6:23 PM

@ian The site blog looks like this on mobile: https://i.imgbox.com/qxW1eaCf.png

Ian • 24 Apr 2017, 6:23 PM

working on blog comment pings. sorry about that!

Ian • 24 Apr 2017, 6:24 PM

@skyfall4 what are you browsing on? iPad? Mobile? Web desktop?

Ian • 24 Apr 2017, 6:25 PM

@degong thanks! Working on this.

ufo • 24 Apr 2017, 6:25 PM

@ian can we please put the cove back to 5 per row on desktop please? The extra spacing is not visually appealing.

meg • 24 Apr 2017, 6:27 PM

Awesome! It is loading very slowly for me though on safari... but looks great! 😊

dafni • 24 Apr 2017, 6:28 PM

Meh, I don't like the style. Everything is too big, especially the space between the creatures in the cove.

Ian • 24 Apr 2017, 6:28 PM

@meg the load is spiking a bit, but we're thinking that it'll even out! Crossing our fingers! ❤ī¸

mami • 24 Apr 2017, 6:29 PM

@Ian Using a samsung phone, the mobile site will use about twice the space it actually needs; everything is going on to the left and --

Ian • 24 Apr 2017, 6:29 PM

@dafni we're working on this! Thank you for your feedback. Would you prefer creatures to be closer together?

lucas • 24 Apr 2017, 6:29 PM

Well, everyone is logging in and checking what's new rn, not a surprise it's having a few spikes x)

mami • 24 Apr 2017, 6:30 PM

the right is just empty space, only the background showing. Basically the same as it has done since testing. 😱

dafni • 24 Apr 2017, 6:30 PM

Also 5 creatures for rows was way way better...

skyfall4 • 24 Apr 2017, 6:31 PM

@Ian IPhone 5 😊 Also, I didn't get your ping OwO

mami • 24 Apr 2017, 6:31 PM

Also @Ian I know this wont have priority, but going back to five Creatures a row on profiles would be appreciated. Reasoning on page one.

Ian • 24 Apr 2017, 6:32 PM

@mami could you take a screen grab and then upload it for me from your phone? I'd like to see what's going on.

skyfall4 • 24 Apr 2017, 6:33 PM

@Ian, also not to mention, V3 is just really slow O.o It took approximately 2-5 minutes loading

Ian • 24 Apr 2017, 6:34 PM

@skyfall4 right now, we're having a bit of a server spike since everybody is wanting to log in! We're working on the load issues as we speak

crowvict • 24 Apr 2017, 6:34 PM

Oooh! V3 is looking rather lovely so far ❤ī¸ Although I do have to say I kinda miss the time stamp on the profile statuses ;w;

mami • 24 Apr 2017, 6:38 PM

@Ian Took some figuring out how to do it haha, but here: http://i64.tinypic.com/ajxs2a.png Thats how any page looks, whether logged in/not.

netherling • 24 Apr 2017, 6:38 PM

The mobile version looks weird but the desktop version looks nice ❤ī¸ gonna go look around when things load faster for me

skyfall4 • 24 Apr 2017, 6:41 PM

@Ian ah! Ok! Thank you! 😊 Only thing is..... I never got your ping? 😱 On this blog post, that is .-.

cclynn2855 • 24 Apr 2017, 6:43 PM

woah... this is pretty cool! ❤ī¸ Very different

dafni • 24 Apr 2017, 6:43 PM

@ian Yes, closer creatures gave the sensation of the cove being a collection 😊 Also feeding is quite slow, the rest instead seems fine ^^

leafmelody • 24 Apr 2017, 6:43 PM

@Ian Yay 😃 I've been refreshing my page for ages LOL I was tryina log in XDXDXD Good job! 😃 I suck at computer work so it looks hard X3

Ian • 24 Apr 2017, 6:43 PM

@cclynn2855 so glad that you're liking it!

iris1929578 • 24 Apr 2017, 6:44 PM

This is different.... I wonder f I may find my way to things again 😸 haha I still ❤ī¸ egg cave

meg • 24 Apr 2017, 6:46 PM

I would really love still 5 creatures per row!! I think the auction center is cool how you can include items!!! 😊

raccoon • 24 Apr 2017, 6:46 PM

Wow, what a big change. Time to get used to the new layout~ 😊 Welcome V3!

pet_cemetery • 24 Apr 2017, 6:48 PM

How do you go to your cove?

Ian • 24 Apr 2017, 6:48 PM

@iris1929578 so glad you're liking it! ❤ī¸

skyfall4 • 24 Apr 2017, 6:48 PM

I also realized.... NOOOOO 4 NEWEST SPECIES IN THE ARCHIVES HAVE GONE AWAY ;-;

Ian • 24 Apr 2017, 6:49 PM

@pet_cemetery click "X Creatures" on the sidebar. Do you see it?

Ian • 24 Apr 2017, 6:49 PM

@skyfall4 I can put that back. I'll add that to my list. Sorry about that. 😱

veritaspunk • 24 Apr 2017, 6:50 PM

@Ian I've been loading pages "ok" considering everything 30seconds-1minute, but I've gotten an authentication script error in inventory ???

silverserpent • 24 Apr 2017, 6:54 PM

*joining the crowd* Spacing in coves: 5 in a row was _much_ better. Also: The background image with the Onny is still squished. 😋

degong • 24 Apr 2017, 6:55 PM

@ian My V2 wall comments from this month haven't uploaded yet. ;n; Is it still uploading, or is it my computer?

Ian • 24 Apr 2017, 6:56 PM

@skyfall4 newest creatures on the front page of the Archives is back.

Ian • 24 Apr 2017, 6:57 PM

@veritaspunk what does the error say? What does the authentication error say?

alewolf • 24 Apr 2017, 6:57 PM

I made this account a day ago and seeing the new update is really nice. I think I picked a good day to join

Orderedchaos • 24 Apr 2017, 6:59 PM

@degong Old wall comments are still transferring.

Ian • 24 Apr 2017, 7:00 PM

@alewolf so glad you like it! ❤ī¸ Thank you SO much!

raccoon • 24 Apr 2017, 7:01 PM

@Ian Hey Ian! I know you're swamped right now but I was wondering if a seprate livepulse page would be making a return? Thanks!

veritaspunk • 24 Apr 2017, 7:01 PM

@Ian I only encountered it once, chrome blocked it and and unauthorized scripts were trying to run on the page. *loading is quicker*

pet_cemetery • 24 Apr 2017, 7:03 PM

Not on my mobile. I can see it on my tablet. On my tablet the text bar to add comments on this blog is not showing up

degong • 24 Apr 2017, 7:08 PM

The Eartha's in the Cash Shop! O.o ...that might be a problem.

ethereality • 24 Apr 2017, 7:08 PM

Eartha is in CSP!

skyfall4 • 24 Apr 2017, 7:08 PM

@ian Yay!!!!! 😃

icesparkle22 • 24 Apr 2017, 7:13 PM

@Ian bring back 5 creature per cove space? 😱 it messed up my cove lists. Also, notifications are no longer working for me ☚ī¸
