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?!

Is this auction tax an april fools joke too?

immortalraven • 1 Apr 2016, 2:14 PM

@cutie1211 Yeah

houndoom125 • 1 Apr 2016, 2:16 PM

@immortalraven That's what I was thinking

puzzlerunlimited • 1 Apr 2016, 2:46 PM

Monthelies are beutiful as always!

pet_cemetery • 1 Apr 2016, 3:53 PM

What stats does the Prankey evolve? I know it evolves quick

elluwah • 1 Apr 2016, 4:02 PM

I wish the Prankey could be available in the cash shop after this, it's difficult to try and get something at the cave within two days. ☚ī¸

emeraldfirefly • 1 Apr 2016, 4:02 PM

@pet_cemetery mine evolved to child stage with Views=21 Clicks=13 Feeds=10

novrain62 • 1 Apr 2016, 4:05 PM

Still nada for me

immortalraven • 1 Apr 2016, 4:07 PM

@pet_cemetery I believe it's 1st - 1o clicks, 2nd - 2o clicks (I know this one is for sure), last not sure. From what I've observed

izziebee1017 • 1 Apr 2016, 4:18 PM

Gonna make a collection of both cavies. ❤ī¸ 😊

pet_cemetery • 1 Apr 2016, 4:23 PM

@emeraldfirefly @immortalraven thank you both. ^^ such low requirements, i dont think ill be able to keep him from evolving,

iceiceice • 1 Apr 2016, 4:36 PM

Should have known. Prank-Monkey. Prankey. Clever. 😋

spiritkoi • 1 Apr 2016, 5:06 PM

Love the cave monthlies! Also like the Lem. ^^ Hopefully I can get one of them..

raitonchidori • 1 Apr 2016, 5:54 PM

Spunny is so desappoiting. It had everything to be one of the best creatures, but it's one of the worsts. Cave monthlies > CSP monthlies...

piucca • 1 Apr 2016, 7:07 PM

@jazzyleia It's a rodent 😊 Not quite rat though.

piucca • 1 Apr 2016, 7:08 PM

@raitonchidori what would you change?

raitonchidori • 1 Apr 2016, 7:15 PM

@piucca its art style. I don't know how to describe this in English. I guess specially the contraste between dark and bright collors. ~

piucca • 1 Apr 2016, 7:16 PM

@raitonchidori More definition. 😊

raitonchidori • 1 Apr 2016, 7:16 PM

~ and define the border of the creature (not as much as the egg is, the egg is too much). I mean, Corphex 1st stage is similar to this one ~

raitonchidori • 1 Apr 2016, 7:17 PM

if you compare both you'll see what I mean, I guess.

piucca • 1 Apr 2016, 7:18 PM

@raitonchidori thicker boarder and more definition.

raitonchidori • 1 Apr 2016, 7:20 PM

@piucca yeah.

nut • 1 Apr 2016, 7:58 PM

@raitonchidori I agree, there's definitely less contrast on these than in the past. Also, the depth in general; some of the new creatures-

nut • 1 Apr 2016, 7:58 PM

-look really two-dimensional besides some minimal shading.

thehatoffury • 1 Apr 2016, 8:41 PM

aaa how do u get a pranky ?

emeraldfirefly • 1 Apr 2016, 8:48 PM

@thehatoffury You just happen to get it in the cave. It isn't hidden

thehatoffury • 1 Apr 2016, 8:54 PM

:0 thank you !! @emeraldfirefly

raitonchidori • 1 Apr 2016, 8:54 PM

@nyan yep, I feel it too.

emeraldfirefly • 1 Apr 2016, 8:54 PM

@thehatoffury You're welcome 😊

elf • 1 Apr 2016, 8:55 PM

Not a fan of any of them, but I do like their ideas 😊

lucas • 1 Apr 2016, 9:01 PM

...am I the only one who saw just the regular ol' creatures in the cave?

emeraldfirefly • 1 Apr 2016, 9:18 PM

@lucas same here. I only saw commons, monthlies and the prankey

lucas • 1 Apr 2016, 9:19 PM

@emeraldfirefly I havent even seen prankey or monthlies, so ya ☚ī¸

emeraldfirefly • 1 Apr 2016, 9:20 PM

@lucas That usually happens to me as well. Wasn't there supposed to be a prank with retired critters today?

lucas • 1 Apr 2016, 9:53 PM

@emeraldfirefly exactly what I was wondering :c welp missed the prank.... or so it seems

emeraldfirefly • 1 Apr 2016, 9:55 PM

@lucas I guess so.

taffy789 • 1 Apr 2016, 10:24 PM

The auction tax is just another means to service the Eggcave 1%. The working class eggcavers must rise and seize the means of production.

april__ • 1 Apr 2016, 11:12 PM

That Spunny. ❤ī¸

pooh • 2 Apr 2016, 5:56 AM

I knew it. The Cave hates me... ☚ī¸

bot • 2 Apr 2016, 3:08 PM

Yikes. Looks like I'll be saving CC this month. Oh well-- I'm still happy to see something new on the site!

dragon_collector • 4 Apr 2016, 5:44 PM

Not too fond of the CSPs this month. :/ Cave monthlies are okay tho. 😃
