@promise

Being someone who has returned to a site (neopets) after a TEN YEAR xP hiatus, I can not fathom taking creatures from inactive users as a fair way to get older creatures circulating again.

In the 3 years that I have been on eggcave, I have seen countless players returning from year long,...

promise • 3 December 2016 at 9:41 AM

Being an older user, I disagree with what many users are suggesting on this forum. I have spent countless hours and countless amounts of CC waiting for rare creatures to appear and to try to trade for them. Every rare creature I have I had to sacrifice for. I remember being a new player and feeding...

I just wanted to support @element 's idea of the re-releasing:

1) Being left up to the discretion of the eggcave team to decide what/when/how, as they could then control the economy and keep it in check (re-release in SARC maybe?); and

2) Having colour variations / art variations to set them aside...

@fainne_24

As @novrain62 has said above, Eggcavern was basically kind of a Click Exchange site, where you could earn different colored raffle tickets randomly from clicking on creatures. After that, you could then buy entries for creatures.

Sadly, the person/people who hosted it decided to close...

@burn what happened with Eggcavern? I dont know what it was...

momokie • 2 December 2016 at 9:21 PM

@jellifysh Mutated rereleases are a really good idea ❤️ @Ian I like this idea. But I just hope that the original art/mutated versions stay the same art style. The reasons we want a rerelease are because we love the creatures as they are now!

@spectaclenest

I don't think that creatures will be rereleased - even the Rebirth CC potion got a lot of backlash from the people who collect Egg stages of creatures, and decreased the value of Jester Eggs significantly.

It's a nice idea, but I feel that it should be executed more better. Maybe s...

@spectaclenest


i support the re-release completely ❤️

some usres would get mad if it happens but most of them would be happy ❤️

poptarts • 2 December 2016 at 12:54 AM

I don't like the idea of creatures being re-released. In my opinion collecting creatures on eggcave knowing that they are limited is what makes the game worthwhile and fun.

I feel that even re-releasing a small amount of creatures will destroy the value of that creature and be unfair to those who...

jello • 1 December 2016 at 11:14 PM

I personally don't want any rereleases, as it takes away the value of creatures other people spent valuable time and money for.

fainne_24 • 1 December 2016 at 5:28 PM

Thank you everyone for the discussion around here! I really would love this to happen around here. Maybe some old players would even come back. It is everything @spectaclenest already wrote 😊

Also I was thinking about the "values" of the creatures decreasing and thinking about the re-rel...

shirona • 1 December 2016 at 2:07 PM

@spectaclenest
Once a year might not be long enough though :/ Some players might take advantage of the Onny's, Gobbler's, Macbot's, Doovoo's, & Tine's astronomical values and vote for them every year to be re-released ...which may or may not be a problem, depending on how you look at it.

@spectaclenest
Nice discussion. I find the voting part weird; but I like the idea of bringing them back the way they were first introduced, so maybe that can be combined with voting. And if they do come back I think they should have time limits on how long they'll be available according to how rare...

spectaclenest • 1 December 2016 at 3:07 AM

@element something we discussed to prevent the same creatures reappearing constantly was a time limitation: a creature couldn't be rereleased more than once in a year. we also discussed reserving the month of december for 4 creatures that had received lots of votes over the year but never enough to...

shirona • 1 December 2016 at 2:53 AM

@spectaclenest
I think the decision to which creatures should be re-released should be left to the discretion of the eggcaveteam. Voting could result in unfavorable results, like the same creatures always being chosen over and over again due to their popularity.

And thanks @sony for finding that...

spectaclenest • 1 December 2016 at 2:53 AM

@sony hence unofficial discussion ;D
i don't have much fun trading, so it's good to hear from someone who likes it! hopefully the periodic reintroduction of retired creatures keeps trading fun and helps new users feel relevant in the trading game 😊
spam is totally a huge risk for submissions, i tho...

sony • 1 December 2016 at 2:17 AM

@spectaclenest
I think it's too early to call anything official now, but we should keep our hopes up. xD And yes, I think reintroducing them the way they were initially brought to the site would still retain the excitement and demand for the creatures, but in a more approachable way for all users....

spectaclenest • 1 December 2016 at 1:52 AM

@novrain62 i'm so sorry for wording my question unclearly! what i meant was if egg cave implemented this type of idea with users voting on what creatures would return to the cash shop would you want to participate in suggesting creatures to be rereleased and voting on suggestions?
i'm completely in...

sony • 1 December 2016 at 1:52 AM

I'd like to thank @element for giving awareness regarding this topic. And to @spectaclenest I believe I was the one who asked about the re-releases lol.
The topic you both are looking for is here. Opinions vary, but looking at the poll, an overpowerin...

shirona • 30 November 2016 at 8:41 PM

@spectaclenest
Just saying that there has to be compromise between supporters and non-supporters of re-releases. If you search, you might find an official (I think?) locked topic from a few years back where we were allowed to discuss whether re-releases should happen or not. Things got heated prett...

novrain62 • 30 November 2016 at 8:39 PM

I already voted, of course.

I just think that if it continues to be impossible to get older creatures, then Egg Cave loses players. Why bother if you cannot attain what you'd like? I understand the frustration for some. There are many many empty coves on this site; many! I wonder if those will be...

spectaclenest • 30 November 2016 at 7:56 PM

thank you both so much for posting!

@element i absolutely agree that we have to consider the older players, but if we only consider one group the game's player base will have trouble growing and retaining new users. i'm looking forward to hearing from older users and why they might be wary of rere...

novrain62 • 30 November 2016 at 6:11 PM

Hi. I support re-release of old creatures, too. On Dec. 11, I celebrate six years here and I still don't have that Onny, I so very much want, while there are coves that I could name that sit unattended for three, four years with those rare creatures just forgotten.

I wish they were ALL in the Oasi...

shirona • 30 November 2016 at 5:51 PM

@spectaclenest
Nice, thoughtful post 😊

I've been around for a few years now and have seen this topic come up time and time again. I support re-releases and still do, if they ever do occur. However, the more I think about it, the more I can see why it's such a controversial issue to begin with....

spectaclenest • 30 November 2016 at 3:22 PM

@ida92 thank you so much!!! i hope this discussion sees lots of participation too 😊 looking forward to hearing what ideas you might have!

ida92 • 30 November 2016 at 3:00 PM

@spectaclenest wow, I honestly love what I just read. You and @fainne_24 did a lot of thinking and planning there. I support everything you wrote and if I come up with any ideas, I'll surely post them in this topic. I'm a big supporter of the creature re-release and I hope that @Ian and the moderato...

spectaclenest • 30 November 2016 at 1:52 PM

@ian rather than a ginormous comment here i've posted a proposal for creature rerelease from myself and @fainne_24 over here 😊

spectaclenest • 30 November 2016 at 1:49 PM

with the staff posting their official Q+A for egg cave V3 it seemed like the perfect time to post something @fainne_24 and i have been working on for a while. in the Q+A someone asked about creature re-release and the answer was DEFINITELY NEVER AGAIN...

jazzyleia • 29 November 2016 at 7:20 PM

@sony

In regards to the questions you have asked:

1) As far as it is concerned, I believe Ian is very much against doing a big rerelease of creatures. Although the quests might (and keyword MIGHT) be able to give you a chance at a new creature or old. We are still working that out.

2) I guess I'...

questions • 8 December 2015 at 5:17 AM

The staff are so greedy they only care about money they dont care about users so they never rerelease because they are greedy
