It's March

Welcome to March 2018 at Egg Cave! Thanks for being with us. You know what that means, right?! Dragold's Den will be returning this month around St. Patrick's Day with exclusive prizes and creatures. Until then, we have a bunch of new monthly stuff coming your way!

We apologize for the early morning downtime between 1 AM and 8 AM Egg Cave Time this morning. We've been back!

Last Day of February

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Exchange! We hope you were able to get the prizes and creatures you want.

Many Retiring Creatures

In addition to it being the last day that you can get February 2018's monthly creatures, we'd also like you remind you that it's also the last day to get the Shengxiao and Lan from the Cave.


Updated Auctions Look

Like the Trade Center, Auctions have also been updated visually today. The biggest changes include:

  • Improved mobile responsiveness
  • Ability to CMD (CTRL) click auction titles to open them in new windows
  • More design consistency between your bids, your auctions, and auction listings themselves
  • Creatures and Items selector version 2.0 have arrived to Auctions (like Trades)
  • The ability to search by auction title on the search page

Returning March 2018

Dragold's Den returns around St. Patrick's Day this year in 2018! Stay tuned.

Updated Trade Center

Trade Center Visual Changes

The Trade Center has been visually updated to be faster and cleaner. In addition, the Trades Center is now more responsive and accessible on mobile devices like tablets and phones (Egg Cave is still best on desktop browsers, however!).

You had me at "faster."

Here's a more specific list of things that have been updated...

  • Clearer text and placement of who is the lot "owner" versus "offerer"
  • More consistent action buttons, text, and icons
  • Greatly improved mobile responsiveness
  • An updated Items Selector when creating/offering
  • An updated Creatures Selector when creating/offering (both will be rolled out to more areas soon!)
  • Default EC points value of "0" (i.e. the form is filled in) when offering (eliminating "the points field is required" errors)
  • Removed the ugly _token field from search query strings
  • Updated pagination look (navigating through pages)
  • A quote icon and gray text denotes the "lot descriptions"

If you run into any errors regarding the Trade Center, please submit a ticket directly with the page URL and we will take a look! Thank you.

Stabilizing Egg Cave

sweetoth_4.png
Who knew I'd be this popular?!

The following issues should be fixed:

  • 502 gateway errors
  • Slow Click Exchange and creatures where the "click" doesn't go through
  • Slow creature images
  • Overall slow response times and server lag

We sincerely apologize for the incredibly hectic and laggy 48 hours. Enjoy a faster Chocotravaganza Exchange! Due to the rough last 24 hours, we will be extending the Chocotravaganza Exchange by 2 days (48 hours).
