Any time I click on Gallery I get a 404 error page. Is this something that comes online seasonally or for a specific event?

I’m also curious about how often creatures appear in the oasis. I check it daily but it always says the same thing, that it’s empty.

The donations center is also always...

@heatherm19
I have this same issue with Flight Rising because they also require a whole page reload for every single creature (when interacting with your pet’s familiar) and it heats up my computer and my phone just as Egg Cave does. I have never had this issue with Pokefarm and I suspect it’s due...

It would be nice if there was a button called Begin Feeding or something, that brought up maybe 10 creatures in one window you can click (or drag over) and feed each one in that one window, then hitting a Next button to bring up 10 more from your cove. My phone and computer get hot having to load ev...

@auvember This is frustrating for sure. :-/ I've found almost all pet site banks to operate this way. There's a few possible reasons why.

Each new day, the site calculates your current balance (once) and provides an interest amount (once). So if you change it by withdrawing or depositing, the sys...

@heatherm19 i also spent money on this site, but definitely not as much as you haha, but the money i spent was not insubstantial since it's not like i'm raking in the big bucks, i'm still just a student.
i remember a strike or something was attempted to be ran but apparently ian barely noticed, wh...

@myriadium When I first joined this site I was absolutely in awe of how responsive staff was, quick to fix issues, quick to answer questions, active in the forums (and apparently at that point the site was already stagnating compared to what it once was, but coming from another site I was so impress...

myriadium • 17 March 2026 at 8:34 PM

bringing this back up again since we've been seeing some issues with the site recently: the cloudflare and site lagging issues that took quite a while to address, the whole dragold's den fiasco that occured earlier today, which has been a total mess and shouldn't have happened since this is an expec...

Once again, this is not at all about lack of trust towards anyone running EggCave. At all. Breaches happen, if it were to happen here it would not mean I distrust anyone who keeps this site running, as the breech and abuse of data is not being done by people from EggCave. Not having a datebase of pe...

@jarsha
The power guy was an independent contractor for our main (and possibly still only) power supplier. As in part government run, state wide provider, None of the information he had I gave to his company. The phone call and sms from Jason about ensuring our dog was secured so they could replac...

heatherm19 • 11 March 2026 at 11:52 PM

@Ian That'd be a nice alternative I think... Admittedly I've never used Discord but it seems relatively straight forward and I know tons of people here already use it (I believe Eggcave has a Discord server/whatever). That's something I wouldn't mind using in this context.

(For what it's worth, I...

minnie298a • 11 March 2026 at 11:24 PM

@Ian
As an added or alternative option, sure. If it helps others have better access.

However, personally, I don't use Discord or pretty much any social media. I've looked into Discord, but wasn't an immediate fan. Also from what I saw I don't see the point for a site like EggCave which has an o...

nut • 10 March 2026 at 9:31 PM

I feel like the events are the main source of games :') like halloween fair, easter egg hunt, find the gobblers, etc. the main gameplay here is really feeding eggs and chasing wishlists so if you're looking for clicky, zoomy, dashy, thinky, slidey type games I doubt this site will ever be that?

jarsha • 10 March 2026 at 9:11 PM

It’s definitely something unique to this site I feel, as I have never been asked to provide my personal phone number to verify my identity on any other pet collecting site. It’s good that they want to maintain account safety and security as I assume that’s the reason for it, but surely there are oth...

heatherm19 • 10 March 2026 at 9:01 PM

@jarsha You are not alone in wanting some other verification method, it's been requested since the very beginning of the verification feature. Besides the (completely understandable) wish to maintain your own privacy, some people simply do not have reliable access to a text-capable phone.

The is...

jarsha • 10 March 2026 at 8:50 PM

I didn’t realize the site has ads as I use uBlock on both mobile and PC, so I don’t see them. I know ads help keep a site funded, but if they are obtrusive then I agree they should be altered for people who don’t block them. Ads shouldn’t be obtrusive. Put them on a side bar or on a banner on the bo...

jarsha • 10 March 2026 at 8:19 PM

I am fairly new (started Dec 2025) so I do not intend to stir any trouble suggesting this, however I want to give my input on the Verify Main Account action. Since it locks you out of certain activities on the site to not be verified, it is obviously a good idea to be verified if you want full acces...

jarsha • 9 March 2026 at 11:47 PM

I started recently and stopped for a while because I had the same question, I did not know for the longest time that I can feed other people’s creatures! Being able to do that has certainly opened the site up for me.

heatherm19 • 9 March 2026 at 3:47 PM

@Ian Hmm, does the site often have issues with a lot of auto feeders and scripts and such? Is there a way to track where it's originating?
(I'm realizing maybe feeding scripts and such aren't actually against the rules here? Playing another petsite game for over a decade that had strict rules again...

Reminder
Daylight Savings Time begins in a few hours
(for anyone new, time change usually causes a few glitches around the site. Don't be alarmed, Ian the site owner usually has it worked out in a day or two.)

dragongirl02 • 6 March 2026 at 9:40 PM

The bot check appears to have stopped on EC for now, in my case too, but I'm not sure it's fully over. Still, as others have said, the site has become so laggy (which hasn't happen before and I know it not my network as other simallair type sites load 100% fine) that when I do the click task(s), the...

veritaspunk • 4 March 2026 at 4:08 PM

@Ian @tehuti88 If only the site could be defended from bots without bogging down the site. :/

tehuti88 • 4 March 2026 at 3:59 PM

I use Brave browser and get the bot check multiple times per session, not every page load but if I go idle or to another site for a few minutes (while Egg Cave is still open in another tab), I get the verification again. Sometimes I have to check a box, sometimes not.

Yesterday I got the bot chec...

Ian • 4 March 2026 at 3:59 PM

@snowywinter of course!

The site is holding stable after turning "under attack" mode off. This means that whatever the attack was, it's likely over. But if bot checks return, it's because they're attacking again.

veritaspunk • 4 March 2026 at 3:39 PM

@Ian I randomly interact on the site throughout a 24 hour period it seems every time I need to take a break for more than a few minutes it bot checks again but in general the site is a lot slower within the activities like cove, feeding etc. Yesterday it was even slower for me, but if the Valentines...

snowywinter • 4 March 2026 at 3:38 PM

Thank you Ian for letting us know! < 3

Here's hoping for the longevity of the site; we can get through this together.

@snowwall
I hate getting messages like that. But Literally my preferred browser works so much nicer, the mainstream ones are soooo slow or display things weird with each new...

veritaspunk • 4 March 2026 at 3:31 PM

Yeah, I noticed the site running with 7 cookies, whereas It is usually 6 for me. At least most of this has started between events, as it has slowed things down on this site where it's just annoying to use rather than relaxing and engaging. ☹️

granitore • 4 March 2026 at 2:38 PM

Hm, so this bot check is probably why my site is so slow today ... and yesterday too, my click speed slowed to a crawl (or what feels like it) ,

also i can SEE the check when i visit the site / popping up ever so often when i change to a new part of this website, fact is: in the week itself i do...

gngdia • 4 March 2026 at 9:01 AM

They implemented/updated cloudflare. Probably did it last night/yesterday and that's why the website was so slow for everyone (me included). The cloudflare messages popping up so often are indeed annoying. I get one each time I come back to the site or whenever I turn back on my internet.

kataclysm • 4 March 2026 at 5:41 AM

@Ian - Please read this thread, if you haven't already. Your userbase is crying out for updates and pointing out the stagnation of a site that they love and want to support. Why do we not hear from you more frequently in these spaces where we're supposed to be brainstorming with the staff?

I app...

dragongirl02 • 3 March 2026 at 10:52 PM

I know this is being looked into, but I wanted to mention I saw it anyway incase anyone is counting how many players saw it, and I wanted to add my concern: I've been seeing this on other sites too, and it’s causing a real headache. I often have to move quickly—it's a combination of racing against t...
