Sorry for the delay... Bob the Server isn't used to having this many people online at once. :) Nonetheless, all of the errors we were encountering earlier have been fixed. Egg Cave is here to stay.

If you completed The Mystery of Ghosty plot, you may now claim your Balrogipuwet here. THERE IS NO TIME LIMIT to claim your Balrogipuwet. We'll leave that link up until every eligible, active player has claimed their Balrogipuwet.

..... ..... .....

Thanks for playing! We still have LOTS more in store (including a totally cool Christmas competition coming next December)!

Up next: Callas :o

We hope that everybody had a safe Halloween. And CONGRATULATIONS to everybody who completed The Mystery of Ghosty -- you will be able to receive (tomorrow, November 3, 6:00 pm ECT) your very own Balrogipuwet (the species discovered as a result of The Mystery). This creature will be limited edition and will be available only to those who completed this year's plot. Take a look at your beautiful discovery:

In light of recent events, Cathy at the Science and Research Center has commented on all of this:

Wow, the Balrogipuwet is a rather incredible species! Congratulations on your discovery, Ark citizens! We have received stories from multiple residents explaining their weird encounters with this "Ghosty" creature. Although we denied the existence of such ghosts, the number of stories is overwhelming.

We sincerely apologize and will never doubt the existence of ghosts again!

For those of you who did not complete The Mystery of Ghosty plot, the plot solution is now online and located here.

Thanks again for playing!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN
from the Egg Cave staff <3

PLOT UPDATES - The Mystery of Ghosty plot has now closed. More updates and plot solution tomorrow! ;) Welcome to November.

After you've found the eggs, I have a question for you.

NOTE - If you could, please don't post the answer publicly. It's ok if you want to help your friends, but please don't ruin it for everybody. :)

Ark citizens have united to help solve the Mystery of Ghosty. No one knows what has been going on recently with Ghosty, nor what any of his random blabberings mean. To help solve this mystery, head over to the Plot Headquarters, where thousands of Ark citizens are joining together to get to the bottom of this. It seems that you must find twelve eggs hidden around the site...

Oh, that sounds like a challenge. Ho hum.

SPOOKY! Unhatched eggs are randomly appearing around Ark... but get this: these eggs aren't appearing anywhere near the Egg Cave! Who could be possibly responsible for this mysterious misplacement of eggs around Ark?

WHAT'S GOING ON?! THE NATURAL ORDER IS BEING DESTROYED!

A ghost has been spotted by multiple Ark citizens; although, the Science and Research Center denies their existence!

Tim's Food Shoppe is now open for business in Ark City! He'll keep your creatures 100% happy while you're away, when and if you're away. ;) That way, your creatures will never die. Currently, Tim is the only Egg Cave creature that can COOK! Mmmm... something smells delicious...

Hi guys! I'm now open for business!

QUESTION OF THE WEEK #2 - Check out the question of the week on Facebook or Twitter.

A number of users have contacted me and made a very strong case against our ban on link exchange services (if you don't know what this is, don't worry), even in light of my goal (which I posted earlier). As these users have spoken up (which I am thankful that they have), I have discovered that community on Egg Cave can still happen, even with people using these "link exchange services."

Therefore, since I realize that my goal can be accomplished in spite of the use of link exchange services, link exchange services have been unblocked and will be counted towards your creatures stats.

I am leaving discretion in the hands of our users. It should be our users that make the choice. If you don't feel link exchange services are right, then don't use them. If you want to, you may.

Egg Cave shouldn't be a site where users are told everything they can't do. It's up to you. You spoke -- I listened!

On another hand, Tim is preparing to open his Food Shoppe (coming soon):
