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...

@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...

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...

@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

lenamilove • 6 December 2015 at 10:50 PM

Don't go accusing people, buddy. Won't get you any friends in most if not all arguments. I wouldn't come right out of the gate saying how greedy the site is, it's not a very mature way to get your point across. You win more flies with honey than vinegar. Heck, even neutrality is better.

Just for f...

iceiceice • 6 December 2015 at 7:33 PM

@questions
Hmm, I think they listen. They implemented many user suggestions. The creature re-release is a touchy subject.

Have you read the topic? It's understandable why they didn't. There are many factors hindering the rerelease of the creatures.

They closed it because the debate was going no...

Orderedchaos • 26 October 2015 at 4:01 PM

Thank you everyone, we appreciate all your opinions on this topic. Seeing that this topic has been open more than long enough for closing comments and in order to keep the same arguments from being rehashed over and over this topic is now closed.

metaphor • 26 October 2015 at 3:53 PM

@mrsgiggles

Yes, that is just the thing! It makes no sense to fret over a lot of these scarce creatures "flooding the market" because 1. a lot of people who will buy them will probably keep them for themselves and not trade anyway, 2. If the creatures stay in as high demand as they are n...

mrsgiggles • 26 October 2015 at 1:23 AM

The rarest pets belong to people who will never trade them, although they may be tempted to do so if you cough up an unhealthily large amount of real life money. The majority of Doovoo, in fact, belong to a single account, so good luck getting one.

I don't see why EC can't re-release retired pets t...

kschr26 • 26 October 2015 at 12:26 AM

@dionaea

I really like this idea, I think it would be a fair way for people to achieve their dream pets by putting in enough work to get them^^

tetraethylammonium • 25 October 2015 at 10:30 PM

@dragonnn
Like falling_silence said, that would be helpful in evolving creatures but it may also tempt users to break the "clicking from only one IP" rule.

umbris • 25 October 2015 at 8:22 PM

@dragonnn

I like that idea, it would help people's creatures evolve/immortalize faster at the same time which would be super helpful to a lot of users

dragonnn • 25 October 2015 at 7:03 PM

A thought inspired by @dionaea 's post:

The rare creature shop's currency -(could be a special egg coin)- could be received from clicking in the Click Exchange, with a very low drop rate. I recall a system like this from the click critters website.

This incentive could motivate more people to use...

netherling • 25 October 2015 at 2:12 PM

@leafyos
We've talked about a raffle before, and yeah, I like the idea. I just wish some users wouldn't be so....closed to the idea. Like there's a way to make it fair for everyone.

dionaea • 25 October 2015 at 12:29 PM

I still think there should be a special shop which has all the retired creatures available at all times, but you'd only be able to buy them using special points you accumulate by visiting the website every day.

Creature prices would be based on how old the creature is and how it was released. The...

leafyos • 24 October 2015 at 3:03 PM

What about a raffle? xD Every once in a while, 5 or so active people will be chosen to be able to obtain a retired (not a CSP) creature from some options. ^-^ It's a nice way to help the users build up to their dream cove or whatever.

PS: This wasn't really thought out, it was kind of just an idea...

iceiceice • 24 October 2015 at 12:59 PM

If anything, I think this will help what balance the value.

Rarity and value are also somewhat different (imo, and they may have a small correlation).

Rarity might drop because there will be more creatures.

Values might be affected, but if it's a popular creature, it will still be wanted.

The...

dragonnn • 24 October 2015 at 11:41 AM

@firedawn Dropping its rarity down to a value that's affordable is something I'd like to see.

firedawn • 24 October 2015 at 4:46 AM

@falling_silence @madscienced
I agree with all of you. I support rereleases. But when a rerelease happens, the rarities of the rare and sought after species will drop down dramatically. For instance, let us take the Balrogipuwet. The Balrogipuwet used to be only available for completing the...

netherling • 20 October 2015 at 10:10 PM

@falling_silence
Oh I know 😋 I'm hoping there's a wat to make everyone happy. One that maybe hasn't even been brought up yet.

umbris • 19 October 2015 at 10:29 PM

@ami_utsukushii

I know, it's just something to consider 😊

netherling • 19 October 2015 at 10:21 PM

@falling_silence
I think they are planning on re releasing some older cave creatures. But with the cash shop creatures, that's a no or a topic to be discussed further.
