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!

I cannot edit forum posts and there's no longer a way to sort your creatures by species, perhaps it's a mistake? It was a useful feature.

I dont quite need a pop up message saying Ive posted, or one after confirming that yes, I want to delete a post. xP

han • 24 Apr 2017, 7:27 PM

hmm i miss the 5 creatures per row layout, the extra space doesn't look as nice 😱

crazyfeline • 24 Apr 2017, 7:31 PM

So far the new update looks good to me! Looks so much neater!! 😊

icesparkle22 • 24 Apr 2017, 7:33 PM

@Ian im so mad! ☚ī¸ v3 completely ruined my profile links, and now links arent working for me! So i'm stuck with a bunch of random code >☚ī¸

icesparkle22 • 24 Apr 2017, 7:33 PM

i tried to do the Auctions links but they ARENT working D:

lunar • 24 Apr 2017, 7:34 PM

I personally like it more compact, all this large space feels goofy comparing to the regular text.

ethereality • 24 Apr 2017, 7:37 PM

I don't like 4 creatures in a row... a why are _ underscores in front of dashes and regular letters? please change this back

icesparkle22 • 24 Apr 2017, 7:39 PM

look how bad the links turned out: Ian's profile! ☚ī¸

ryu28000 • 24 Apr 2017, 7:41 PM

First off the site just got loaded so there will be some hiccups here and there and secondly I think version 3 is just fine.

raitonchidori • 24 Apr 2017, 7:41 PM

So now creatures and items lots will appear together? Nice. And only the 15 newest will display? I thought this would be improved, but no...

petowner12309 • 24 Apr 2017, 7:53 PM

I, um, sort of like it? It's crowded... um... I like how you can have multiple creatures in auctions though. That's the only good thing.

prairie • 24 Apr 2017, 7:56 PM

@petowner12309 I agree, definitely on mobile too. 😋 I don't really like the scrolling profiles either. X< I liked it all laid out.

prairie • 24 Apr 2017, 7:59 PM

Awww man!! D: I just noticed the town hall is not really in use at the town hall page. ;_; I kinda liked it not being on the creatures page.

vibrancy • 24 Apr 2017, 8:01 PM

It looks nice on a computer, but I find myself despising the way it's laid out on my tablet, which is what I use most of the time. Guess I..

vibrancy • 24 Apr 2017, 8:02 PM

Just have to get used to it. Oh well. :/

momokie • 24 Apr 2017, 8:08 PM

Please make underscores at the end of the cove again...and bring back 5 to a row, the images look so small compared to everything else --

momokie • 24 Apr 2017, 8:08 PM

The profile creature on the Right is so weird for me I dont like it, the comments on my profile are HUGE and I hate that my profile needs

momokie • 24 Apr 2017, 8:09 PM

to be scrolled to be read... I am excited for V3 but im mainly a mobile user and @Ian I just hope it gets easier. There is wayy to much

momokie • 24 Apr 2017, 8:10 PM

empty space. I miss time stamps on statuses and stuff. Livepulse needs an extra page... ohman this is so much to get used too.

momokie • 24 Apr 2017, 8:10 PM

Im very overwhelmed. I really want Desktop mobile back..

momokie • 24 Apr 2017, 8:10 PM

Also please bring back starring comments in forums and blog posts 😱

idol • 24 Apr 2017, 8:12 PM

I think it looks better overall than how it did originally. =) I had to go to someone else's profile to see the 4 creature thing since for -

vibrancy • 24 Apr 2017, 8:12 PM

@momokie I agree and second your statements and opinions about use on a mobile. Really hope it improves as well.

idol • 24 Apr 2017, 8:12 PM

some reason my profile will not load? I sent a ticket about it just in case. Overall I still feel everything is very large but overall will-

iris1929578 • 24 Apr 2017, 8:13 PM

OMSC everything is so big all of a sudden 😱 @Ian this is great, but please PLEASE bring sort by species back

idol • 24 Apr 2017, 8:14 PM

adjust to it. I don't much care for creatures and Items being together but oh well. BUT I LOVE the new Archives. Much easier to browse now!

idol • 24 Apr 2017, 8:15 PM

Thank you @Ian and everyone else. This must have taken a lot of time and of course there are still bugs and things. (Also I don't understand

idol • 24 Apr 2017, 8:15 PM

why if we click our coves happiness if it will take us to our creatures.. but in the boxes below.. we could just click on our creatures. So-

idol • 24 Apr 2017, 8:16 PM

having both there is a bit pointless if they do the same thing? Though I like the idea of showing the creature happiness level. =)

sky • 24 Apr 2017, 8:16 PM

@Idol I was about to say, because I've been trying to reply to your comment on my wall and I was wondering why your profile wouldn't load!

idol • 24 Apr 2017, 8:17 PM

lastly with @doyoueverwonder's comment..it seems to have broken the desktop page here. So now the side things are at the bottom of the page

lykhaos117 • 24 Apr 2017, 8:17 PM

*tests blog post*

idol • 24 Apr 2017, 8:21 PM

sorry for continuous posting. But will we be able to go on someone's account and mail them? I just tried to look @Skys profile and there -

idol • 24 Apr 2017, 8:21 PM

seemed to be no option on her page to mail her. And if we will be able to control our pet profile image sizes again? Because now they are

idol • 24 Apr 2017, 8:22 PM

The full creature instead of just a cropped out version. Which is fine.But I was just curious.I liked customizing my profile creature image.

lucas • 24 Apr 2017, 8:23 PM

I think you all should calm down and breathe. They'll work and fix what's wrong, chill people 😊 You're all overreacting~

ellasparkle • 24 Apr 2017, 8:24 PM

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT. Ah, but I've only been on for 5 seconds so far XD

momokie • 24 Apr 2017, 8:25 PM

@Idol I agree, the customization I miss a lot.. its so unappealing that our profile creature is on the right :c and our statuses have that

momokie • 24 Apr 2017, 8:26 PM

Icon there now... aesthetically its in the way..I dont like profile scrolling it looks so messy and huge and the creature images appear so

momokie • 24 Apr 2017, 8:26 PM

small 😱 Dont get me wrong, Ian and everyone did an AMAZING job and we needed it but im very overwhelmed

lucas • 24 Apr 2017, 8:28 PM

It's just a matter of time to get used to the new layout 😃

jello • 24 Apr 2017, 8:28 PM

@ian Can you reduce the text size a bit, maybe 6-8 pts?

sky • 24 Apr 2017, 8:29 PM

@Idol Just tried replying to your message. I don't know if you got mine because I ended up with an error and now my messages are no longer

sky • 24 Apr 2017, 8:30 PM

appearing.

thursdays_dove • 24 Apr 2017, 8:31 PM

I'm sorry - the new layout is not really my cup of tea. Everything is huge. :/

aedia • 24 Apr 2017, 8:32 PM

I can't read the comments on here very well because the profile picture is in the way. ☚ī¸ I'm on my phone mostly when I visit here.

idol • 24 Apr 2017, 8:33 PM

@Sky No I did not get your message. I guess my profile is broken ☚ī¸

rosewolf09 • 24 Apr 2017, 8:33 PM

momokie • 24 Apr 2017, 8:35 PM

@aedia Mobile is so awful I would try all this on a desktop. Im a mainly mobile user and I hate it
