@spectaclenest



i'm for the rerelease! 😋

and i thought they could use the advent tree to do so, on one day we could get a random old pet like from start to 2012 for exemple.

in that way, i'm pretty sure they will be able to control the releasing! 😃

gogetavegito2498 • 7 December 2016 at 8:18 PM

@element you are almost basically giving the value of a Onny to the value of a abet! That is so not fair if anything only LE's should be released and on top of that giving people time to get these creatures? It should be sudden for a little bit of time so people can't horde these creatures 😱 and pl...

gogetavegito2498 • 7 December 2016 at 7:26 PM

@Ian I respectfully agree with the monthly rerelease but I believe that is should be only 1-3 years old like you can't have a foo or tine or something that valueable. The reason so is because some lazy people just need luck and they could win a time or foo. It's not fair for the hard-working people...

gogetavegito2498 • 6 December 2016 at 8:27 PM

@everyone who supports re-releases, so basically there a people who have spent hmm 150$ for a NYM and if you rerelease it, what's it worth? 5$ or even less ☹️ this is insane/crazy, you gotta work for your creatures, if you can't get them then just suck it up and find something else 😱 that's what ha...

As I posted on the V3 thread:

I see both sides of the argument. I am a long(ish)time player. Honestly, a lot of my cove is the result of being here at the right time (i.e., when certain popular creatures were released or at least relatively new and as a result not totally unobtainable). My Onny, on...

As a new user, I support the idea of a very limited and controlled re-release. Part of the fun is having retired and unobtainable creatures, yes, but what happens if nine, ten years have past since a release and all the creatures end up on inactive accounts and it goes virtually extinct? People work...

@spectaclenest

Hi guys!

I saw something about purging, and I for one am quite a bit against it. I've been on Egg Cave for 6 years now and am one of the older users. I got busy and left my account for 1-2 years, but I DID come back because it IS possible to come back. It would be very down-putting...

spectaclenest • 3 December 2016 at 1:15 PM

ah i'm absolutely over the moon that this has so much discussion in it ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ thank you all from the bottom of my heart for putting so much time and thought into your posts everyone, your politeness and intelligence proves what an incredible community we have!
so many wonderful suggestion...

@despair

Hmm...not sure if I understood the part where you mention a change in guidelines correctly, but if purging was to be done, I would like and actually appreciate it if the option was given to users whose accounts predate the changes in those rules & guidelines to choose whether we conse...

despair • 3 December 2016 at 12:46 PM

@element

Glad it didn't sound like crazy talk. xD

Yeah, that's totally understandable. The account purging situation, as I stated previously, is something I'm not quite sure where I stand on.

Edit:


But, I have one thing to add. You say the rules and guidelines are subject to change. Let m...

shirona • 3 December 2016 at 12:17 PM

@despair
No, you're making sense. 😊

Eggcave has gone back on its word before. There was a lot of outrage, but it did happen. Now, there's the Oasis. I consider that as a type of subtle re-releasing, even though it's just the endangered species.

Also, site rules & guidelines are subject to ch...

despair • 3 December 2016 at 11:52 AM

I have shared my opinion on this discussion several times, and, attempting to get the point across was...challenging, to say the least. I don't have it in me to express my full thoughts again, but I'd still say I'm against the idea of re-releasing. Essentially, however, I agree almost completely w...

shirona • 3 December 2016 at 11:32 AM

@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...

kalessin • 3 December 2016 at 9:10 AM

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...

burn • 3 December 2016 at 7:41 AM

@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!

burn • 2 December 2016 at 8:59 PM

@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...

darexxis • 2 December 2016 at 2:52 AM

@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.

@lily...

lily- • 1 December 2016 at 3:24 AM

@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...
