For a while now, it has been well-known in the Egg Cave community that many of the site's oldest creatures are virtually unobtainable due to their low supply and consequently unaffordable prices. Many of the site's oldest creatures are often the rarest and they're locked away on accounts that are now inactive or, if the account is still active, will never be traded or auctioned.
When we originally introduced the concept of "Cash Shop Monthlies" years ago, it was shortsighted of us to promise to retire these creatures forever. By promising to retire these creatures forever, Egg Cave is at risk of becoming more of a museum of shiny, unobtainable creatures rather than a living, breathing site that's fun and based on working hard for the creatures you love and want to collect.
The idea of rereleasing creatures has been frequently discussed over the last several years. In years past, it has been met with opposition due to fears that rereleasing creatures would lead to an inevitable collapse in values. While it is a basic economic principle that increased supply will slow the rate of an increase in value or cause it to drop, we do not believe that rereleases have to happen in a way that cause values to collapse. In fact, values cannot "collapse" when there was always a price floor of 500 CC to begin with. With rereleases, the floor will be even higher.
In recent months, players have begun discussing the idea of rereleases again but with more positivity and viewing the idea more favorably. We've been pleased to see this and want to engage with the community. That's why today we're announcing a 6-month trial run for rereleasing creatures on Egg Cave. Worried or wonder what "trial run" means? Please continue reading, as these rereleases will be governed by a lot of strict rules.
Our main goal of rereleasing Cash Shop creatures is to increase their supply but implement strict rules that Team Egg Cave adheres to protect their values. Here's the rundown of what we're proposing and how rereleases would work:
We are proposing a 6-month trial run for these rereleases from November 2020 to April 2021. During April 2021, we will gather feedback and vote as a community if you would like to see rereleases continue (as is or with changes) or be stopped altogether. If we do not have greater than 50% support from the community for creature rereleases, they will be terminated and halted.
November 2020
December 2020
January 2021 - April 2021: To be announced.
The first rereleased creatures will go live on November 6.

Located in the deepest of the deep Caves of the Forests of Ark, Tentaders are an extremely poisonous and large spider creature. They are aggressive toward any other living beings that aren't of their own kind. They, in general, do not leave their caves as they prefer to hoard their belongings deep inside of their protected caves.
The Tentader will be available through October 31 and is a mid-monthly Cash Shop creature available for 200 CC.
After being locked away for 7 years, we're happy to announce that the Fangtharp, Muckle, and Luskrull are making a reappearance in the Prize Shop for a higher price of 5,000 Seeds each—limited to one per account. (Don't visit from your sides!)
The Idola, released at a similar time to these creatures back in 2013, remains retired and unavailable.
These creatures will be available in the Prize Shop through the remainder of the event. Get collecting to get yours!
