Database Hiccups This Morning

September 15, 2017 at 2:40 PM 4 Comments

We apologize for this morning's interruptions!

Our database had some hiccups this morning, which prevented things like feeds and the Site Trivia from resetting. Feeds have been cleared and the Trivia have been rotated for the day. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Other areas that are also affected by daily resets have been updated, too.

We believe that we've been able to apply a fix but will have to continue to monitor the databases to see if it will be a viable long-term solution (i.e. there is a small possibility this could occur again). If the site goes down again, don't worry — we're on it!

There's more of me to go around now!

Cave Attempts Reset

Daily Cave attempts have been reset to 0 due to these hiccups. Enjoy some extra tries on us!

Trade Center and Auction Updates

September 13, 2017 at 4:05 PM 44 Comments

Trade Center Updates

The front page of the Trade Center now lists every trade in the Trade Center much like Auctions do. To view your own created trades, click to My Trades in the navigation.

The Trade Center front pages show 20 trades per page and show the oldest trades first. Newest trades are added to the last page. The Newest Trades page has been removed. "Trade spam", while basically impossible with this new page structure, is still prohibited.

Auction Updates

Instead of the entire auction block being clickable from the listing, auction titles are now hyperlinked in red. Click the red hyperlinks to get to the individual listing page. We found that the "entire clickable block" didn't allow people to launch auctions in new tabs/windows by CTRL (CMD) clicks.

The Auctions Search is brand new, now allowing you to find auctions by item name.

So many updates! So many helpful changes!

On Kanji Characters

Kanji characters and other non-English character sets are no longer allowed in either usernames or creature names in our filters. Existing creature names that contain Kanji or non-English characters may be forced to rename their creatures, depending on the content of the translation.

This is being enforced to ensure that names do not contain inappropriate words in other languages.

Cleaning Out Old Trades

September 8, 2017 at 3:00 PM 8 Comments

Old Trades Are Being Auto-Deleted Again

With the release of version 3, we actually forgot to be cleaning out older trades over 30 day. Starting tomorrow, we'll begin auto-deleting trade lots that are older than 30 days and have not accepted an offer.

Just a heads up!

Have you set your security questions?

If you ever lose access to both your Egg Cave account and its associated email address, there is no way for us to let you back in. This is where security questions and answers come in; we can ask you these questions to verify your identity and grant you access to your account.

Do you have your security questions and answers set? Please check under your preferences at Security Questions. If you see a green box with a checkmark that says "Your security questions are already set" you're good to go.

New and Improved Player Guide

September 7, 2017 at 4:00 PM 14 Comments

Updated Player Guide

The Help & FAQ section is now the Player Guide and all of its pages have been updated and revamped. We've fixed broken links, updated answers with version 3 updates, and removed questions that are basically irrelevant.

The Player Guide serves as an excellent place for both new and old players alike. The newest section is about Transfer Requests, a little-known feature quietly released in version 3 that allows you to initiate one-way transfer of creatures without junk eggs in the Trade Center.

Find any more problems? Please Contact Us with suggested revisions.
