Welcome to April 2016

April 1, 2016 at 12:00 AM

HAPPY APRIL - Springtime is in the air for our northern hemisphere players! Happy April! Many of our Easter-themed creatures are coming out this month due to how Easter fell this year with our release schedule!

CASH SHOP MONTHLIES - These gorgeous Cash Shop Monthlies are now available. Here is the Lem and Spunny! Get yours through the end of this month.



AUCTION TAX - Due to the very high number of creature transactions on Egg Cave and its effect on our database servers, we will begin charging a 47% AUCTION TAX on all Creature Auctions. This means that you must pay an additional 47% upon winning an auction.

Here's the run down:

  • There will be a 47% auction tax for all completed Creature Auctions.
  • This 47% tax will be deducted from your EC balance, even if you do not have the full amount on hand.
  • Because of this, we are allowing for negative Egg Coin balances in the case of auction taxes.
  • However, you will not be able to participate in most activities if you have a negative EC balance (like visiting the Cave).
  • Example: an auction completed for 100,000 EC means that you would pay 100,000 EC + (47% * 100,000) = 147,000 EC!




CAVE MONTHLIES - This month's Cave Monthlies are here: the Chinchilly and Chimmy! Two bunnies to collect!



WHAT'S THIS? - Oh who knows?!

@poof I may have to look into my resolution settings or something, but those eggs are a bit erhm rotund aren't they

xxestherxx • 1 Apr 2016, 12:25 AM

Am I the only one who actually tested out the calculator on the Creature Auction Tax HQ ? x'D

veritaspunk • 1 Apr 2016, 12:25 AM

I would just take personal silent boycott today,avoid the trauma all over again, but I want to try at least for the Prankey.

dragonnn • 1 Apr 2016, 12:27 AM

I recognize the Chinchilly and maybe the Lem as user submitted. Congrats, creators!

megadash • 1 Apr 2016, 12:27 AM

You COULD have made the auction tax more believable if you didn't make it 47%.

poptarts • 1 Apr 2016, 12:27 AM

@xxestherxx Lol I tried it to X3 I tried to make it go up to infinity.

immortalraven • 1 Apr 2016, 12:31 AM

@poof Chinchillas are related to rabbits 😸 /pets my fluffy Chip/ Much softer though xD

veritaspunk • 1 Apr 2016, 12:33 AM

@poof The cave monthlies look much more refined and less like egg cave botanicals edition.

veritaspunk • 1 Apr 2016, 12:34 AM

@poof Chinchilly seems like it arrived late, was meant for Dec or Jan, doesn't it ?

novrain62 • 1 Apr 2016, 12:40 AM

Didn't get anything ☚ī¸

dragonnn • 1 Apr 2016, 12:43 AM

So Eggcave made a sleep-inducing alpaca into a bladed predator. Works for me! 😋

veritaspunk • 1 Apr 2016, 12:52 AM

@dragonnn ... but could it defeat a Viranov 😋 ? We need egg/creature battles 😃

immortalraven • 1 Apr 2016, 12:52 AM

@poof Ahh mmk. I didn't know they had those xD I just know chinchillas and that there are different types of rabbits but I

immortalraven • 1 Apr 2016, 12:52 AM

don't know any of em. xD

immortalraven • 1 Apr 2016, 12:56 AM

@poof Ah, mmk. x3

dragonnn • 1 Apr 2016, 12:57 AM

@veritaspunk Yes. >8) If the Lem couldn't use its wings, I think a Viranov would win. The wings are just too close to the Lem's body though.

heather519 • 1 Apr 2016, 12:57 AM

I got a prankey ^^ Excited to see it when it evolves :0❤ī¸

orchids • 1 Apr 2016, 1:01 AM

I got a Prankley... what is ittt. What I want to know most is.. when does it retire from the cave.

veritaspunk • 1 Apr 2016, 1:01 AM

@dragonnn The ability of the Viranov isn't clear;y stated though, and using wings doesn't guarantee defense or offense. We need a battle sim

veritaspunk • 1 Apr 2016, 1:02 AM

... weighted around individual creature stats that a player has 😃

nap • 1 Apr 2016, 1:04 AM

Omg Chinchillllaaaa ❤ī¸ ❤ī¸

_piano_pokemon_ • 1 Apr 2016, 1:05 AM

Guess I'll be saveing loads of money on this months cc 😊 lol and what was this years joke the tax thingy?

veritaspunk • 1 Apr 2016, 1:10 AM

@_piano_pokemon_ I would hope/think so, it does nothing but deter buyers rather than actual spammers, there's no listing fee.

cosmia • 1 Apr 2016, 1:15 AM

@orchids Not sure what stage this one is, but here http://eggcave.com/egg/1776247 and it retires April 2nd according to the archives.

orchids • 1 Apr 2016, 1:24 AM

@cosmia thanks for the info 😊 It's a really cute creature!

cosmia • 1 Apr 2016, 1:24 AM

@orchids Welcome 😊

asi • 1 Apr 2016, 1:37 AM

Ha ha ha Eggcave C'X Also really loving the pets this month, thanks~!

sparklefox • 1 Apr 2016, 2:32 AM

Auction tax? I think my sides have reached orbit.

bunnyshadow • 1 Apr 2016, 2:55 AM

I demand a riot, Eggcave is taxing us more than the British people did to the colonists back in the day. No taxation without representation!

mrsgiggles • 1 Apr 2016, 3:00 AM

I WANT A PRANKY BUT THE CAVE DOESN'T WANT TO GIVE ME ONE! EC is become so stressful these days... *sob*

cutie1211 • 1 Apr 2016, 3:08 AM

Does the Prankey look like a Prankey egg or does it look like something else?

veritaspunk • 1 Apr 2016, 3:19 AM

@bunnyshadow I was like is the Bern in office already 😋

bunnyshadow • 1 Apr 2016, 3:20 AM

@veritaspunk LOL! I'm laughing way harder than I should be, I'm such a nerd. x3

sakura-ironoyume • 1 Apr 2016, 3:44 AM

I hate you guys I fell for it so hard ._. I literally screamed when I found a Roo egg and I just renamed it to "ThisIsALie"

sakura-ironoyume • 1 Apr 2016, 3:47 AM

I literally cried when I saw a Tawny egg Oh well its OK though at LEAST it was a Chinchilly I'm NEVER coming back to the Cave EVER.

jeanne • 1 Apr 2016, 4:03 AM

will it be free to abandon the eggs taken today? why can't I rename the eggs and free the names I want for eggs I actually want to take?

vos • 1 Apr 2016, 5:13 AM

Darn! I didn't take the Chimmy cos I thought it was another April fool joke! :/

izziebee1017 • 1 Apr 2016, 7:27 AM

animegirlalways • 1 Apr 2016, 7:57 AM

piucca • 1 Apr 2016, 11:27 AM

Woot! I got two Prankey on the first four tries! I thought it may have been... a prank lol. Love all the creatures ❤ī¸

piucca • 1 Apr 2016, 11:41 AM

Oh and congrats to @smailly for the Lem! Luck you it is a CPS ❤ī¸

clockz • 1 Apr 2016, 11:54 AM

just remember that under the tine egg might be a chimmy...they are sneaky lol

jazzyleia • 1 Apr 2016, 12:26 PM

So honest question: Is the Chimmy a cat or a rat creature
