Maintenances Around 9 PM and 11 PM Tonight

Egg Cave Maintenances Tonight

UPDATE 11:13 PM: All maintenances have been completed and have been successful. See you at midnight for CRW.

Egg Cave's datacenter will be upgrading our servers with a security patch for the Meltdown and Specter bugs computing devices tonight starting at around 9 PM and then again at 11 PM. The site may become inaccessible, display "database error" for a period of time, and various system tasks may not complete (i.e. things like daily resets).

Unfortunately, our datacenter gives us only a maintenance window and not an exact time of when our servers will be affected. Rest assured that, once the maintenance is completed, we will perform any system tasks that weren't completed during the maintenance (like daily resets). Eggs and creatures will not die when the servers are offline, nor will they lose happiness.

While the maintenance window is scheduled to be several hours, Egg Cave will likely only go offline for a few minutes. If you notice any hiccups tonight, that's why.

Thank you for your patience. This is not a software or site-related update — this is a physical hardware update for our servers.

If there's a hiccup, we'll be back!

5,000,000,000 Creature Views

A few days ago, we passed 5 billion creature views at Egg Cave. We are so thankful and amazed at all of our lovely players who help make Egg Cave such a fun and enjoyable place to hang out on the internet.

The 5 billionth viewed creature was shockingpup the Listrick. The 5 billion views recognition has permanently been installed on your creature's profile. Congratulations to their owner @fluffurry!

Pesky Recent Feeders Issue Fixed

Recent Feeders Bug Fixed

A bug with eggs' "recent feeders" list has been fixed. There was a glitch that accidentally cleared the entire recent feeders list on a creature when a new player fed a creature with 5 existing recent feeders.

You will now have a much, much more accurate knowing of who's feeding and who isn't! Have fun.
