Stage Freeze Error

Stage Freeze Error

essence_of_litsdnats.png

A command was accidentally run on our database server that froze an estimated 40,000 creatures that weren't frozen. Their stages were set to the child stage (stage 2, the one after egg). This command was executed by an authorized user, albeit erroneously; there has been no security breach.

How It Was Resolved

This command has been reversed and creature freezes have been reverted to what they looked like on the November 7 (yesterday) backup. There was only one creature freeze that occurred since that backup; that creature freeze has been corrected as well.

What You Need To Do

In short, nothing. All creature freezes have been corrected and reversed to their previous state before the incorrect command was executed. You may, however, receive evolution notifications since some of your creatures may have accidentally been set to stage 2 (essentially, creatures have to re-evolve to their correct stage).

If you have reason to believe your creature freeze is incorrect or that a creature was wrongly frozen, please contact us by submitting a ticket.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

New Feature: Find Frozen Creatures

To see all of your frozen creatures in your Cove ("My Creatures"), select Frozen from the drop down.

New Quest Types

New Quest Types

Say hello to Sophie at Baked Bun Quests and Keahi at Miserable Meltdown. These two new NPCs are requesting items from the Bakery and Finley's Flavors respectively.

Currently, there are no prize pools that require the new Quest Token types. This will change in a few days when new prize pools are announced that require the new tokens. In other words, stay tuned! (In the mean time, you might be able to have a few day head start.)

Welcome to November

Egg Cave welcomes you to the month of November! We hope that you all enjoyed the Halloween Fair. As a reminder, you can use your remaining, unspent Seeds through November 21 at the Prize Shop.

Find The Gobblers

Find The Gobblers is back and better than ever! If you've never participated in this event before, we'll explain. For the month of November, Gobblers will appear around the site. To collect one, click on it whenever you see one. The top 50 100 collectors will receive 500,000 EC and 500 CaveCash ($5) at the end of the month.

New this year! Instead of the top 50 collectors receiving the reward of 500,000 EC and 500 CaveCash ($5), the top 100 collectors will compete on the leaderboards this year. (Do not participate in Find The Gobblers from side accounts.)

The Halloween Fair

pepita-4.jpgknurrock_1.png

Seed collection will cease around the site at the turn of November 1. No more Seeds can be found after this time. You will, however, be able to use any unspent Seeds at the Halloween Fair Prize Shop through November 21. Don't worry if you have some left over. You have the time.

Witch Hat Cupcakes

These cupcakes are a witch's work of art! Find these spooky cupcakes restocking at the Bakery.

Magic Espressos

Are these drinks actually espresso or are they some witch's magic? You'll have to drink one for yourself to find out... new from the Bean Sack.

The Halloween Fair Feed Count

The Halloween Fair feed count got borked on the Halloween Fair Leaderboards page. We're working to restore that to the correct number.

The Noctiandy

In case you missed it, the Noctiandy remains available through the end of November.
