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...

@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. 😊

@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...

@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?

@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...

iceiceice • 22 July 2015 at 12:25 AM

@mintyminny98 Rerelease had happen in the past, but received a mixed response. Many people believed it lowered the values of old rares.

Heyo! c: Welcome to eggcave ^-^

Answer one: Yeah, pretty much ._.
Answer two: collect and look for whatever creatures you want 😊 some will be a lot harder than others, but there's no one who can tell you what you can or can't have in your cove 😉

I'm relatively new myself (I joined in February), and there are so many cute creatures that I would love to have, but know I most likely will never have. I don't have a lot of real life money to spend on CC, so any creatures that are traded for CC will never be mine, and I just hit my first million...

newlife • 25 December 2014 at 10:39 PM

@kiryko @despair @mishababy

No, totally against this idea.

Values of creatures will go down, and I know many people who have spent a lot of real life money on Eggcave to obtain rare creatures.

If this comes into play, a person with a last stage Tine could get a first stage Tine like THAT.
Especi...

sparklefox • 19 October 2014 at 8:11 AM

@dionaea - I love this idea~ I personally wouldn't really care if any of my creatures became 'easier to obtain', it would just mean less people bugging me for my rarer things. I read through the posts on this, and agree that the rarer the creature, the higher the price. Also, there could be double/t...

immortalraven • 10 July 2014 at 12:07 AM

@lilkeykey14
It doesn't say they are still available that I can see. But it does state from what time they had been available and where they had been able to be obtained when they were available.

And them being endangered means they aren't available anymore in the cave. I don't know if they'll be...

immortalraven • 19 June 2014 at 4:09 PM

I like the idea.
I don't care either way if things are rereleased but seeing as they are so expensive (pretty unfairly so also) and hard to get for some people I think this is good. Though maybe make it a bit harder.
The old rarer creatures mostly only users from that time they were released got t...

immortalraven • 8 May 2014 at 6:30 PM

@gabbyq
It's worth 75o,ooo to 1 Mil EC so 75 to 1ooCC so you'd have ta add. I don't trade CC critters for travels at all unless they are offering an old LE(s) worth a good amount or another CC critter(s) with the travel(s). The LEs I have UFT for travels aren't the greatest since travels are easier...

awkolicious • 14 April 2014 at 3:14 PM

@eva_

I guess rereleasing is neutral on me.

To be honest if they rerelease, it lowers the rarity of many, many creatures, but it does give some of the new people a chance to fit in, if you know what I mean 😸

So as for reason opinions:

1. That I definitely agree with.
2. I actually like the rar...

immortalraven • 9 April 2014 at 7:57 PM

Eeh probably won't happen but if it did I'd be fine. There are some old ones I like and would love ta see rereleased but people would complain and whine too much though they already do that. And I think I saw somewhere that Ian said he wasn't gonna rerelease anymore.
Other sites have no problems wi...

mrsgiggles • 3 September 2013 at 9:51 AM

@Meteoroid

Ultimately, Egg Cave isn't a democracy - it shouldn't be, so if Ian thinks a rerelease is fine, I don't see why not.

Those people who traded a lot for those rare creatures did so willingly. No one forced them to. Begrudging others for the possibility that they get those pets "easi...

mrsgiggles • 3 September 2013 at 9:33 AM

@Meteoroid Are there THAT many older users around anymore to get outraged over a rerelease of practically extinct species like Doovoo, Macbot, Onny?

I don't see the harm of doing it during a special event, like, say, Egg Cave's 5th birthday or something.
