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!

OMIGOD I'm dying

Are headshots on profile messages gone? Aww

Ian • 24 Apr 2017, 8:43 PM

Hey everybody! I'm checking in on comments occasionally here. 😊 Thank you for your feedback.

Ian • 24 Apr 2017, 8:43 PM

With regards to errors and bugs, please submit them at the forums. More updates coming tomorrow!

idol • 24 Apr 2017, 8:48 PM

The page looks a lot nicer and less.. huge when the sidebar got moved over again =) I kinda like it. But it will take getting used to.

orchids • 24 Apr 2017, 8:49 PM

I don't know if I mentioned earlier but it bothers me how there is so much space between the eggs

orchids • 24 Apr 2017, 8:49 PM

and how you do not see many eggs in the cove at the same time.

piucca • 24 Apr 2017, 8:51 PM

Looks great! Some bugs here and there, but they will all be fixed up by the team 😊

333 • 24 Apr 2017, 8:52 PM

Whoa! Good job! My brain's going to take a while to get used to this. 😋

novrain62 • 24 Apr 2017, 8:57 PM

Return to 5 eggs per row. Cove list tabs are stacked on top of each other now with only 4 creatures. Miss the head shots in comments.

novrain62 • 24 Apr 2017, 8:59 PM

Also, when commenting on someone's page, does it really have to reload and give us a confirmation box? I lose my place in feeding

novrain62 • 24 Apr 2017, 9:00 PM

because sometimes I take a break from feeding then post a comment. It's too much. Go back to simply posting and stay on same page. Thanks!

novrain62 • 24 Apr 2017, 9:01 PM

It did take me awhile to find the CAVE, believe or not. Overall, I commend you folk in charge for doing a bang up job ❤ī¸

333 • 24 Apr 2017, 9:06 PM

Whoa! Look at all those gender options! Great!

eggcaver666 • 24 Apr 2017, 9:09 PM

Where's the Private message? Seems to be "Deleted"?

dragonnn • 24 Apr 2017, 9:14 PM

Generous, indeed. Thank you! The site looks amazing. Excited to try things out.

idol • 24 Apr 2017, 9:16 PM

@doyoueverwonder it is working now. I was just trying to tell Ian in case it was a bug or something.

lucas • 24 Apr 2017, 9:18 PM

@eggcaver666 top right of your screen, there's a mail icon, next to notifications 😊

eggcaver666 • 25 Apr 2017, 12:17 AM

@lucas thanks, so much things to get used too

eggcaver666 • 25 Apr 2017, 12:21 AM

I still miss some of the old stuff and how simple it used to be. :/

inkpelt • 25 Apr 2017, 12:21 AM

@momokie I totally agree. I'm always on my kindle fire and the site is not easier/ more compatible with mobile. The cave especially, it's

inkpelt • 25 Apr 2017, 12:22 AM

@momokie annoying to scroll down so much. But some of it is nice, like the trades!

cartel • 25 Apr 2017, 12:27 AM

"We've raised character limits in various places across the site." lol really? which places? bc I'm still seeing 140 for comments etc.

prairie • 25 Apr 2017, 12:46 AM

@ian, just saying, but on the mobile, I feel like Eggcave is 10x harder to use than what it used to be. 😋 I use a lot phone, and I see

prairie • 25 Apr 2017, 12:47 AM

Quite a lot of text going outside the white zone of what Eggcave is. Also some overlapping text. The reloading of the page each time I post

prairie • 25 Apr 2017, 12:49 AM

Brings me to the very top all over again, thus causing me to have to scroll way way down (super long).

skyfall4 • 25 Apr 2017, 12:57 AM

I miss headshots .-.

veritaspunk • 25 Apr 2017, 12:59 AM

@skyfall4 It's missing personality, It's just cookie cutter now ☚ī¸

skyfall4 • 25 Apr 2017, 1:05 AM

@veritaspunk I guess we'll have to live with it for now .-.

veritaspunk • 25 Apr 2017, 1:09 AM

@skyfall4 :/ Yep ... The added options in Auctions & Trading should keep me distracted to a point, like I said Halloween Fair is my gauge

skyfall4 • 25 Apr 2017, 1:10 AM

@veritaspunk Yup .-. At least they added transfers *i think*

sorrow • 25 Apr 2017, 1:35 AM

Oh its kinda alarming at first to long into the game and get surprised like this! Congrats, everyone! We made it this time 😋

little • 25 Apr 2017, 10:28 AM

woooaaahhhh, the site looks all cool n stuff 😃

carcharhiniformes • 25 Apr 2017, 11:24 AM

I really appreciate how the Click Exchange looks now; the links automatically disappear as I click so I don't have to keep scrolling down

asbe • 25 Apr 2017, 11:46 AM

To go to the Cave I need to click 2x now. Where's "adopt" button?

senkou • 27 Apr 2017, 12:05 AM

When you delete a comment it leads you all the way back up and u have to go back down for each comment? Pretty annoying if you ask me. :/

ushafuse • 29 Apr 2017, 2:56 AM

Where's the version 3 guide book?
