Very Merry Holiday Travels Now Available

December 3, 2020 at 4:44 PM

New Travels Available

These brand-new Travels are now available in the Cash Shop for a limited time.

Lizard Cash Shop Travels Retiring

These lizard-themed Cash Shop Travels will retire on December 7 at the end of the day. If you'd like to pick up a few extra, do so before then.

The Cropler

The Cropler is now available for purchase for 200 CC through the end of December 31.

Dead Creatures

On December 1, Egg Cave experienced extreme lag with its database server and, as a result of this, there was a backlog of "decrease creature happiness" jobs that built up in the background but weren't being processed. More and more of these tasks were being thrown on the queue because the system had thought that these jobs were unsuccessful (partially true because of the lag!).

As a result, after the database server stabilized, these backlog of "decrease creature happiness" jobs were executed all at once which lead to a rapid decrease in creature happiness. A fix has been applied so that this does not occur again in the event of site lag.

Users with a Leaf Of Vaka on their accounts were and have been unaffected. All creature happinesses have been set to 100 site-wide.

We sincerely apologize! ALL CREATURES LOST BETWEEN NOVEMBER 30 TO THE TIME OF THIS BLOG POST HAVE BEEN AUTOMATICALLY RESTORED TO YOUR ACCOUNTS SITE WIDE (REGARDLESS OF USER ACTIVITY). Please check your Notifications for any creatures that may have been restored to see the full list. Thank you!

Thanks so much! I guess I no longer need to worry about anything potentially dying overnight. The first and last travels also look pretty peaceful.

@ian That was terrible timing for site problems! Thank you for resolving it so quickly. I hope the rest of your move goes smoothly, it can be a stressful, chaotic time. YAY for the Cropler being available. It's such a creepy lil dude, I have to have one & couldn't hunt this year.

Ian • 4 Dec 2020, 11:42 AM

@poserpanda thank you so much! We appreciate that. ❤️

Ian • 4 Dec 2020, 11:42 AM

@pouncessoftly thank you! Happy to help! 😃

hinokazes • 4 Dec 2020, 7:56 PM

I'm lucky I had a leaf of vacka for my 2 accounts, but that was probably scary to others who just watched their pets die without being able to do nothing :c Also, can someone please tell me what was the advent gift for the third day ? I forgot to log in and so missed it... :'c
