I think one year is plenty but I wouldn't object if it was 2 years but no more than that.

despair • 30 July 2015 at 9:09 PM

@immortalraven

I like that idea. 😸 Gives even more chances than just obtaining the creature by itself.

immortalraven • 30 July 2015 at 9:07 PM

@despair
Yes, the names just become available and the critters is like ones from the Christmas Events and Asteroid and thief shop.

Also suggested that since if I do come back from that if that happened there is bigger chance some of the names I love aren't taken and I can get some back. Yeah I kno...

@promise

I was going to say that myself. 😊 2 years seems more reasonable.

Although I can see a problem if someone spent like $500 on the site and just happened to come back and saw all of it gone. xD

@bluewolf

3 years seems even more reasonable. x3

So you're...

immortalraven • 30 July 2015 at 9:02 PM

2 years is more reasonable. I haven't met one that had been gone that long.

I think that the names and critters shouldn't come with another giving bigger chance to everyone. If I so happened to be gone for that long and my critters were taken I'd not want the same person to get the name with. They...

I like the idea of the creatures being back in circulation. I also like purging the account (for deleted accounts). There were some people who's creature were deleted along with their accounts. The creatures just poofed .-.

Not sure if we should purge accounts that are just inactive though. I'm a b...

okami • 30 July 2015 at 8:58 PM

I honestly feel like 3 years would be a more reasonable cutoff if a purge happened. I like that idea a lot though.

Then they get to start over again! I really don't think it's unreasonable, all you would have to do is sign in and then sign right back out again to fulfill to policy and kee...

promise • 30 July 2015 at 8:52 PM

I think an account purge would be fine. It can be done reasonably. If you are gone for say 2 years there is a good chance you aren't coming back. You can take 5 minutes of your time to log on once in 2 years if you actually wanted to ever return to eggcave.

despair • 30 July 2015 at 8:51 PM

@fakeworld

I agree. Which is why I think people need to understand that just because re-releases work well on other sites, that doesn't mean it'll work here. 😊

fakeworld • 30 July 2015 at 8:50 PM

@despair
I believe people have to realize that Egg Cave is a website of its own. It's a different community, vibe, theme and scheme. What works on other sites may or may not always work here.

despair • 30 July 2015 at 8:45 PM

Another thing people seem to flock to is "other sites do this it'll be fine here."

I've heard of other sites doing the account purge thing after a year of inactivity and noone seems to have a problem with that on these sites.

dawnfur • 30 July 2015 at 8:43 PM

That idea is slightly terrifying. o_o

I don't think any of us would like it if our stuff got given away because we needed to take a break

Sometimes people have to do that because of personal reasons, don't believe they should have their creatures taken because of it.

immortalraven • 30 July 2015 at 8:39 PM

I think if we take from accounts that have been inactive is unfair like how that was suggested for taking names from accounts that haven't been active for awhile even if there are some names I'd die to have like the name Chris but if that person ever does come back it'd be a terrible disappointment....

despair • 30 July 2015 at 8:38 PM

@jrtalon

Agree with this 100%

budgie • 30 July 2015 at 8:29 PM

Personally I'm against the whole idea of rereleasing creatures no matter the limited quantities some might be in right now.

It's a real honor to own some of Ark's more valuable and scarce creatures. And although nothing in my cove can add up to the higher tiers of rarity, I've worked hard to get w...

fakeworld • 30 July 2015 at 8:14 PM

@jrtalon
Your alternate solution sounds cool, but scary. What if someone or you for instance, decides to return after a year+ hiatus (I have seen these massive breaks happen before) and someone else all of sudden owns one of your favorite creature(s)? I don't think a lot of people would enjoy this...

jrtalon • 30 July 2015 at 8:03 PM

No, I definitely don't support re-releasing people bought these with the idea that they would be "retired forever" that's grossly unfair to people who supported this site by spending their hard earned money to get a creature that's suppose to be unique and special. Off course people who...

Lol yeah well, I meant month long xD I found a "Goblar" and I had a panic attack I was so happy lol then I saw the blog post and that "goblar" turned into a Suckerlop

metaphor • 30 July 2015 at 4:34 PM

I'm happy that this has overall been a pretty friendly debate. 😊

I would also like to chime in that I would not want to see old LEs released into the cave for several days in large numbers. I don't think that that would be beneficial to anyone. I just think that there is some way--a raffle, conte...

elf • 30 July 2015 at 4:29 PM

(Mainly Focusing On Cave Creatures NOT CSPs)
I think a re-release could be beneficial if done rarely and in small amounts ^^ I remember when the Eggcavern Raffle was going on, many users were more active, (Or stalking the Account) and it helped people to be able to get some of their dream creatures....

- I would :-), but more around CRW once a year for cave only creatures.

maleficent • 30 July 2015 at 3:06 PM

Back then there was not even a vote about if re-releasing should not happen. Was that fair??? Nope so at least this time there is some talking about it. At least those who don't support get that. So it's not always fair so lets keep that in mind when talking about fairness 😊

Just think if it kept...

netherling • 30 July 2015 at 2:28 PM

@despair
I've stated before that I understand where you're coming from being a non supporter. I get why you don't want it to happen. But since I'm a supporter, though I am open minded, I still see good in this happening.

despair • 30 July 2015 at 2:04 PM

@ami_utsukushii

You can still be a firm non-supporter, no one is telling you not to be.

Well, to be fair, you do keep saying to have an open mind. 😋 From our perspective, we could ask you the same thing. 😋

netherling • 30 July 2015 at 1:57 PM

@rosaline_kaye
Everyone who's a supporter has been stressing that there would obviously be work involved in getting these creatures. Of course effort will be put into it. It's not like all we'll have to do is buy them and *poof* dream cove in a...

rosaline_kaye • 30 July 2015 at 1:51 PM

I could get what I wanted by trading. ._. Just because I couldn't get what I wanted doesn't mean EC should re-release it so I can get it without much effort.

Stop telling us to be open minded about this. I'm a firm non-supporter.

EC should just release some events so newbs can get some trading fod...

netherling • 30 July 2015 at 1:43 PM

@kollais
I mean, the population of users is growing and the population of certain creatures is dwindling... No one is saying do the April Fools joke again but real this time. No one wants that. People just want a chance to get these creatures at a reasonable price. So yeah, you're right.

Everyone...

kollais • 30 July 2015 at 12:35 PM

First of all, I'd definitely say YES to re-realises.

I think we need it. Community is getting bigger, everyone is in love with Onny\Tine\Macbot etc., but we still have so little of them, while number of people, who want to have them is growing. My opinion is that re-realises are a good thing if imp...
