Holy crud I just noticed that a user spends 11,000cc or $100 - $110 every year if they buy 1 of each 500cc CSP every month. O_O

Well there goes any additional income from selling my Wisoki.

silverserpent • 17 Dec 2017, 3:49 PM

Huh. Ok... Saves me the trouble of trading, I guess. xD

immortalraven • 17 Dec 2017, 4:29 PM

I still dream of older retireds coming back for a short time lol. Definitely not like this cause this would be too easy. Been trying to get Pixgog for like 3 to 4 years now ;-;

lucas • 17 Dec 2017, 4:31 PM

Cool! Not sure if I should save my CC or just go and buy one critter... ugh @_@

purgatory • 17 Dec 2017, 4:42 PM

OH MY GOODNESS!! :'OOOOO

immortalraven • 17 Dec 2017, 5:36 PM

UM, are these supposed to be in the lottery ... Cause they are? Should I send a ticket? Not sure if there's a glitch in tickets since I haven't gotten a response to my other one and there have been bugs so wasn't sure if they just don't have a ton of time or it was bug and can't

immortalraven • 17 Dec 2017, 5:37 PM

see it or something o3o

cosmia • 17 Dec 2017, 5:48 PM

Awesome o.o

Orderedchaos • 17 Dec 2017, 6:19 PM

@immortalraven I've let Ian know about the lottery. Our ticket response time is going to be a little slower than normal due to the holidays.

immortalraven • 17 Dec 2017, 6:54 PM

@Orderedchaos Mmk, thanks for letting me know x3

vampire666 • 17 Dec 2017, 7:37 PM

Oh wow, I could get a few of the things I missed while I was gone. 😃

saturna • 17 Dec 2017, 10:49 PM

Welp, I guess I can stare at all the creatures unobtainable to me due to having no CC all over again TuT

metaphor • 18 Dec 2017, 3:35 AM

Wow, this is neat. Thinking about getting a couple of the ones I missed when I was just floating around here.

metaphor • 18 Dec 2017, 3:43 AM

In all honesty, while I do feel for those who spent more than 500 CC for some of these creatures--I don't think any of them were realistically worth more than 1k CC? The popular ones, anyway, as there were still plenty in circulation. Then again, you pay for something what you

metaphor • 18 Dec 2017, 3:45 AM

think it's worth. It was worth more than 1k CC to you, that is fine. But I don't think these creatures coming back for a brief time for those who missed them is such a terrible thing, because it's not as though they are just being given out and flooding the market. You still have

metaphor • 18 Dec 2017, 3:46 AM

to spend the 500 CC to get any of them, and most people who take advantage of this likely are just trying to get creatures they missed for themselves, not to resell/trade. So again, they won't be sitting in the trading post saturating the market. I promise, those that are truly

metaphor • 18 Dec 2017, 3:48 AM

well sought after and considered valuable by the market will return to their respective value in the new year, once scarcity is created again. No need to get too overwhelmed. 😊

takabakun • 18 Dec 2017, 4:46 AM

Thank you 😊 As a broke creature I have to be very selective what I'm buying but I bought one I really wanted. ❤️

veritaspunk • 18 Dec 2017, 5:33 AM

@metaphor Yeah but as a person who does look to obtain and resell a bit this makes me zero-in on the LE's all the more while putting off CC monthly buys until the end of the year. Unless a date is important why prioritize CC monthlies now ?

thedarkarcher • 18 Dec 2017, 5:50 AM

@veritaspunk i prefer it this way makes it fair for new users and people who missed things . the price will still go higher after the year it just prevents it go crazy before!

veritaspunk • 18 Dec 2017, 5:54 AM

@thedarkarcher If this is not a one-time occurrence then it definitely dulls the need and pressure for those CC monthlies, just treat it like Christmas shopping and save then buy towards the end. They could do this with the LE's down the road too

veritaspunk • 18 Dec 2017, 5:56 AM

@thedarkarcher I still prefer the way they've done the Cave creatures and the monthly drawings for a few winners ... nothing really is exclusive anymore especially post 2016 eh ?

thedarkarcher • 18 Dec 2017, 5:57 AM

@veritaspunk i think they should personally leave le csps as they are personal to the month also in for a shorter time

thedarkarcher • 18 Dec 2017, 5:58 AM

@veritaspunk well i personally hate the lotterys as the chance of wining is so low and it costs so much each time and the toy drive should have some sort of leader board or something so people know what they need to donate to win!

veritaspunk • 18 Dec 2017, 5:59 AM

@thedarkarcher Well the proverbial genie is out, let's hope it doesn't get too volatile 😉

thedarkarcher • 18 Dec 2017, 6:02 AM

@veritaspunk haha i guess it did seem that way sorry. i meant its a great idea but i think it does need a lot of work especially the toy drive (being so new and all). i have to say your comment make me chuckle 😋

mrsgiggles • 18 Dec 2017, 7:00 AM

People who are griping about "resell value" should remember that this is a pet site and not a stock market. The owners are not obligated to create a platform for you to make a profit. This is supposed to be about entertainment and fun.

paige • 18 Dec 2017, 8:02 AM

@mrsgiggles Bless !!

promise • 18 Dec 2017, 9:22 AM

Interesting, I'd spent some extra CC on some of these but this sale saves me a lot too so 😊

stagfire • 18 Dec 2017, 9:45 AM

Yeah, I agree. This isn't a stock market site, it's a pet one and even though it's hard to get CC, at least people have a chance to get some critters they missed.

mami • 18 Dec 2017, 11:26 AM

Yeah lets make finding any pre 2017 CSPs even harder shall we lmao

chiroptera • 18 Dec 2017, 2:50 PM

@mrsgiggles You're right, but some users find pleasure in trading and earning profit and that is how the game entertains them. It is also frustrating as a free to play to save up for one of your dreamies and then have it go on sale again after you buy it.

mrsgiggles • 18 Dec 2017, 5:37 PM

@srx2002 It's what they chose to do here, so it's on them if they take losses now and then.

musicgurl333 • 18 Dec 2017, 6:43 PM

I don't really see it as anyone taking losses. You spent 1k CC to get one of those creatures when you could have bought it not for 500 CC? Sure, that's a bummer, but the value is going to go back up to 1k again, and eventually even higher.

musicgurl333 • 18 Dec 2017, 6:46 PM

This isn't going to flood the market with CSP creatures. They're still 500CC. Also, it's not like any of them are going for thousands of CC and this will tank their value. They're all a year old or less.

lucas • 18 Dec 2017, 10:09 PM

Phew, this will not 'flood the market' nor 'ruin the economy'. Please, think for a moment. I don't know if its just me, but some people are exaggerating on the free, pointless and most of all, selfish criticism over here.

chiroptera • 19 Dec 2017, 1:31 AM

@lucas I assume you're directing your insults toward me. Although this does not affect me too much, I can emphasize with the free to play users who spend a lot of time to grind some 1000cc to obtain a creature they want, and then have it be available for 500 a couple of months-

chiroptera • 19 Dec 2017, 1:33 AM

-later. It's extremely disappointing to think that they could have bought two of them or saved up some cc. Some of you take cc for granted, but as a free to play, I understand how important a couple hundred cc is to some people.

lucas • 19 Dec 2017, 1:39 AM

@srx2002 No, it was not towards you. Plus, enlighten me if I'm mistaken, but all critters that were relaunched were also available for 500cc, so the price is still the same. I also have never bought CC (even though I would very much like to), and I know how important a couple CC

lucas • 19 Dec 2017, 1:45 AM

is, but that still doesn't make most of the cimplaints here valid at all.

chiroptera • 19 Dec 2017, 2:11 AM

@lucas I meant saving up to buy an earlier csp creature later in the year. I myself was pretty close to buying a janot and celehiro for 800 cc each last month. I do agree when you say the market isn't going to crash. It isn't, but 2017 csps are still going to be worth at least-

chiroptera • 19 Dec 2017, 2:12 AM

-a bit less than if this didn't happen. Also, typo of the year goes to me, i spelled "empathize" as "emphasize" oops

veritaspunk • 19 Dec 2017, 6:31 AM

@lucas I don't really see "complaints", but rather feedback, concern, and/or disappointment. I also see no invalid contribution here. I'm sure in general egg cave values all responses that are in a civil manner. Nothing has a 100% approval rating, Majority seems to like it.

caylith • 19 Dec 2017, 9:27 AM

Fantastic. Make it a yearly deal! Thanks;)

dragonkeeper • 19 Dec 2017, 11:38 AM

I got some I missed wile I was away I am supper happy

redflipflap • 19 Dec 2017, 11:51 AM

Best thing that eggcave has done yet

lucas • 19 Dec 2017, 12:41 PM

@veritaspunk I beg to disagree. I have so much to say about this issue, but I'd rather not get in trouble and stay quiet. Have a nice day.

sybil_howlett • 19 Dec 2017, 2:43 PM

I love the idea to get every Csp at the end of the year, I would love it more when they would do it every year from now on xD

wigglytuff • 19 Dec 2017, 10:30 PM

I FEEL SO BAD FOR THE PEOPLE WHO WANTED TO MAKE A LITTLE PROFIT FROM TIME OF SELLING RETIRED CSP FROM THIS YEAR
