@rosaline_kaye I forgot to ping @despair too sorry.

I don't want to start any controversy, but if you don't mind, I'm going to counter your point about "destroying values." Please note that I am not making any personal attacks, and you are as entitled to your views as I am mine. I just wa...

@despair
I can understand where you're coming from, and I don't think you're selfish. Though I have to disagree on whether or not some creatures should be re-released.

The Oasis has lowered the value of those creatures, I'd say.

The only reason the change isn't as noticeable would be due to the fact that they were available for such a long time.

There's a far greater number of them. You could find them in the cave for a couple of years.

Orderedchaos • 29 July 2015 at 2:12 PM

I have a question to those who say re-releases will destroy a creature's value.

Has the Oasis destroyed the value of endangered creatures like the Drakomo, Aerlo, ect.?

I ask as someone who does not trade often and thus does not know what people value these creatures and wish to know if the implem...

rosaline_kaye • 29 July 2015 at 2:07 PM

I completely agree with despair.

The creatures that you will re-release will completely destroy their value, and people will be hesitant to trade when they know that the critter they want will be re-released.

Getting rare critters is an achievement for me. I feel excited and lucky to finally have...

despair • 29 July 2015 at 1:07 PM

Personally, I'm not a huge fan of the idea of creature re-releases. Usually I'm bashed left and right when I voice my opinion on the matter, but nowadays I couldn't possibly care any less what other people think.

For one thing, I like the thrill and challenge of trying to obtain some of the harde...

iceiceice • 29 July 2015 at 1:02 PM

/CELEBRATES/ THANK YOU FOR REVISITING THIS IDEA. ;u; I'm so happy.

Now to gather my thoughts and think of a plan.

All I really want right now is a chance to get the creature. I don't expect handouts. I really just want the trade center to be more active. It doesn't seem to be doing much,...

spiritkoi • 29 July 2015 at 12:43 PM

I agree with dawnfur, fakeworld's idea sounds really good.

metaphor • 29 July 2015 at 12:23 PM

@dawnfur

I certainly didn't complain. I traded in my Florn for a Foo and was ecstatic. haha.

dawnfur • 29 July 2015 at 10:57 AM

I'm still for it.

I may have been the only person not complaining about the 2011 one.. lol

Foo/Roo/Florn's are so hard to get, that it was nice getting a chance, without y'know, paying thousands of cc for it. (which i couldn't even get at the time.) The main arguement was "it'll mess with the...

lykhaos117 • 29 July 2015 at 10:55 AM

I support the idea of rereleases and like many of the above ideas, though I think there should be some sort of time limit before a creature gets rereleased so that users will still have a chance to trade creatures once they gain some value.

For example, if the Meganox were to get rereleased in the...

jirachiwishmaker • 29 July 2015 at 10:36 AM

Oh yay! I was hoping really for the rerelease of any of the older LEs and CRWs from the past. And no nothing should become ever completely extinct either.

fakeworld • 29 July 2015 at 10:01 AM

I wasn't to fond of this idea at first, and it wasn't due to selfishness or anything of that nature, I just thought it would kind of take away the specialness of owning such a rare creature. I have to say that I would definitely support the idea of re-releases now, I just truly hope it's done correc...

metaphor • 29 July 2015 at 10:00 AM

@mastergemma

I actually didn't have a limit in mind, tbh. I think that if you have the CC and you want to pay that extra for two creatures, then it should be fine. But that's just me. 😊

Ian • 29 July 2015 at 9:59 AM

@yileen

Nice. Noted that suggestion. Similar to Creature Release Week, in your mind, yes?

yileen • 29 July 2015 at 9:52 AM

I really like the idea.

I think a limit would be nice, ex. a special week where you can get 1 random extinct creature a day.

As for the CSP I have no idea's.

Ian • 29 July 2015 at 9:42 AM

@mastergemma

Specifically for Cash Shop creatures? I wasn't thinking there would be a limit for those (in terms of an account cap). But I was thinking that they'd only re-appear in the CSP for a small, limited time once per year.

mastergemma • 29 July 2015 at 9:26 AM

@metaphor
Would there be a limit to the amount of the creature that you would be able to purchase? E.g. limited to one or maybe 3 per account?

metaphor • 29 July 2015 at 9:23 AM

I'm happy to see that this is being revisited and that you are including the community in the decision. I really appreciate such openness!

Anyway, I don't have any really mind-blowing suggestions, but I have always thought that maybe there could be a place in the cash shop where every month or so a...

ushafuse • 29 July 2015 at 9:19 AM

@wizard Oopsies, I'm wrong. Last year (i think), the top 50 finders will receive 100,000 EC plus a 500 CaveCash Voucher. Sorry for saying wrongly 😋

I think you mean something else perhaps?

ushafuse • 29 July 2015 at 9:02 AM

@Ian

Yes, that's incredibly great if it really happens!

Of course, some special creatures should be re-released on EC's b-day. And maybe some not so special ones for the other events (Christmas, Halloween..). And like the CRW, maybe there should be one for the re-releasing thing too.

And some re...

You should consider these:
Macbot
Onny
Doovoo
Gobbler
Tine

... speaking of which hardly one is traded every 2-3 months.

Ian • 29 July 2015 at 8:25 AM

@scorch_cloud222

Awesome. 😊 So glad to hear that you're in support.

By the way, if you have posted your suggestion in another topic, feel free to re-post it again here in the official discussion.

scorch_cloud222 • 29 July 2015 at 8:25 AM

Oh my gosh, yes!

I've seen a number of people propose some pretty brilliant ideas for it, but I'll let them post here so I don't get the details wrong. Just stopping by to say that re-releases have my total support!

Ian • 29 July 2015 at 8:12 AM

Hello!

Over the last several weeks, I've been reading more and more topics on Egg Cave about potential species rereleases and I've been seeing growing support for it. I thought that I would open an official discussion here, where players can share their suggestions for a fair and reasonable way for...

Honestly, I'd love it. But like @iceiceice said, everyone got upset and Ian said it would never happen again.

I believe greediness is the whole thing. I was here back in.. I can't even remember. I've been back and forth, but i remember it being not nearly as bad. (I traded a 1st stage Tine for a Rh...

sparklefox • 22 July 2015 at 2:44 AM

@mintyminny98 - I personally don't give a crap that rereleases cause someone's precious little pixels to "lose value". So, I have always loved for something like this to happen. But of course, the community nowadays focuses only on how much they can show off and throw trade around t...

howrsetoo • 22 July 2015 at 12:36 AM

@mintyminny98
I love the idea. Especially since I did the same thing but it was only for a year. But I joined egg cave a couple years ago, so I didn't have access to all of the creatures either.

@iceiceice
That's kind of sad. Because I know personally I would love it if I could have creatures tha...
