The Choco Exchange Continues

The 2018 Chocotravaganza Exchange continues an extra two days (due to server lag and downtime) through February 21 at 11:59 PM ECT. Continue collecting chocolates through then from feeding!

After February 21, you will no longer be able to receive chocolate boxes from feeding but you will still be able to exchange with other users and buy prizes. Will you be a top collector and giver?

After reviewing lots of CDWC entries, the Sidris has arrived as a special Cash Shop creature through March 31 for 200 CC. Get yours today!

Many thanks to @spell for writing the winning entry. The first Sidris of its kind has been added to your account, free of charge (perks of being a CDWC winner!).

Stabilizing Egg Cave

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).

Valentine's Day: Chocotravaganza Exchange 2018

Update 9:54 AM: The "number of chocolates" field to send now works correctly.

Chocotravaganza Exchange 2018

It's Valentine's Day at Egg Cave and you know what that means — the Chocotravaganza Exchange has returned for another year! Whoohoo!

Feed creatures, get Chocolate Boxes, and buy your favorite exclusive prizes! It's all new this year.

chocobox4_large.png

How It Works

  • Get Chocolate Boxes from feeding creatures around Egg Cave
  • Head over to the Exchange HQ and send Chocolate Boxes to other players and your friends
  • Using the Chocolate Boxes that you have received from others during the Exchange, get exclusive love- and heart-themed prizes from the Prize Shop
  • Use the Exchange HQ to keep up to date on who has sent you what (so maybe you can return the favor!)

In other words: to get the prizes you want, you have to give a little to get a little!

The Exchange will be open to collect Chocolate Boxes February 14-20.

New Prizes This Year: The Sweetoth

@skyfall4's CDWC entry was chosen to be the description for the Sweetoth. Being the winner, this user has been awarded the first creature of this species.

This creature is available as a brand-new prize from the Prize Shop.

New Prizes This Year: Travels

Four new themed Travels are now available from the Prize Shop. They will never be restocked in the main shops and are exclusive to the Chocotravaganza Exchange.

New Prizes This Year: February 2018's Cave Monthlies

If you couldn't get enough of them from the Cave, find February 2018's Cave monthlies available as prizes from the Exchange. There is a limit of one for each monthly per account. Do not participate in the Exchange from side accounts; side accounts used to purchase additional monthly creatures will be penalized.


Strongroom Bank Updates

February 13, 2018 at 12:00 AM 24 Comments

Withdrawals and Deposits Double Verified

Strongroom EC withdrawals and deposits are now being verified by the server in a different way to prevent "double" withdrawal and deposit submissions. As a result, withdrawals and deposits are now time delayed by a few seconds before your balances are updated. If you see a "transaction pending" after doing a withdrawal or deposit, don't worry. 99% of Strongroom transactions will clear in under 2-3 seconds and can be seen by refreshing the page.

The reason why this is being implemented is because, under rare circumstances, users exploited a bug with Strongrooms whereby they submitted the same request to the bank on multiple devices, allowing them to withdraw or deposit more EC than they actually had.

All user accounts found abusing this glitch have had their improperly obtained Egg Coins taken away from them.

Find a glitch like this in the future? Stop everything and report the glitch to us via Tickets right away! Your account won't be penalized for reporting a glitch or getting something from a glitch; it will be penalized for abusing a glitch knowingly after discovering it.

As always, thanks for helping us keep Egg Cave fair for everyone!
