@armageddondoll
O.O This is such an amazing and well-thought out idea! It sounds so fun!

I didn't vote though as I'm on the fence.
- In and of itself the concept is a lot of fun and sounds totally like something I'd be into on one of the old virtual pet sites I used to play (*coughNeopetsneez...

Yoooo, I remember you! Though I might've still been under my old account Clbr6117..
Happy to see you back!! I hope you've been good.

If you ever have any questions about new things/general values/stuff around the site feel free to mail me!

This definitely sounds like a huge undertaking and something that would take awhile to test/implement... But I LOVE the idea!

So, as a still-sorta-newbie coming from another (extremely different) adoptables site, I feels like this idea fits right in with what I've discovered Eggcave to be. Eggca...

We already know I'm down to clown when it comes to increasing interactivity, so I'm already behind this notion. Being able to do something with my pets instead of letting them chill out in a cover forever would be super fun.

In theory, it also wouldn't need to be too code heavy - especially if it...

armageddondoll • 14 September 2022 at 11:59 AM

So, this is an idea that came about from a previous suggestion I've made, with some incredibly helpful feedback and suggestions from @kataclysm , so consider her the co-creator of this.

There is a font of potential for Egg Cave when it comes to interactivity. We have coves full of creatures, we...

@prairie *nods* I see it both ways.
I just started another virtual pet game less than 48 hours ago... and let's just say I was proverbially kissing the simplistic ground when I got back to Eggcave.


Ian just announced on the blog that the colored symbols were never meant to go away and that he'...

prairie • 13 September 2022 at 5:25 PM

@snowywinter I know I've seen many breeding topics before.
But as I stated before, I don't think breeding should be a schematic in this game. This is due to rarities and then - the bigger bit - CC creatures. With the VEND, and re-releases, I think this isn't a aspect that's needed.
While I do agre...

snowywinter • 13 September 2022 at 4:56 PM

@sinthr "I'd prefer If our creatures had no gender symbol at all, so people could simply interpret a creature the way they want."
Perfectly, simply, eloquently stated! Agree 100%

@prairie "But I think by this point, since they have gender changes in the CC shop, that they can't necess...

heatherm19 • 13 September 2022 at 12:09 PM

I've seen this mentioned before, don't remember where. But yeah, it's really frustrating having to have a separate email for each account, especially now that we can formally link our sides. If the site itself recognizes that these multiple accounts belong to the same person, why do they require dif...

lbowe_elbow • 10 September 2022 at 1:22 AM

Hey there! I tried so many times to get this to fit in a blog comment and just couldn't. I will still try to keep this brief.

I would like to start this forum post by saying I am plenty well off when it comes to EC. I have been playing for 12 years, and I have the financial freedom to be able to...

snowywinter • 9 September 2022 at 6:16 PM

just wondering about the people using the new fancy emojis around the site...

wondering if most of the people using them are on mobile devices, looking them up on emoji lists via desktop/search engine (regardless if you are copy & pasting or using the code,) or you just have them memorized?

snowywinter • 9 September 2022 at 6:08 PM

@Ian This was absolutely WONDERFUL! I'm so relieved/happy about it I'm almost crying. < 3 I know other players were quite frustrated by it. Some people will still complain, but it IS an immense help. Much better to do something now than wait for figuring out what will work going forward a...

heatherm19 • 9 September 2022 at 3:52 PM

I can't believe how quickly this was implemented!! My goodness, @Ian you run a wonderful site here!

minnie298a • 9 September 2022 at 2:15 AM

@heatherm19
The old blogs can give an interesting insight into the development of the site, especially those old days. That increase to 100 was before you could abandon/adopt or trade your creatures. The only way to get rid of a creature you no longer desired was to let it die.

Those 200 slots...

heatherm19 • 8 September 2022 at 11:09 PM

@minnie298a Oh wow, I've been delving into the blog archives just to learn more about the game but I never went back that far!
"Put into perspective how the site has grown to accommodate things." I completely understand what you are saying, but it could also be seen the opposite way: In over a dec...

minnie298a • 8 September 2022 at 10:46 PM

@heatherm19
In the past I know the Advent Calendar which runs all through December occasionally gives out Cove Spaces. But as mentioned above it can also give out feeds, clicks and views which can evolve creatures. Seasonal creatures, items, activity resets and ec are also part of the prize pool,...

Ian • 8 September 2022 at 4:09 PM

@heatherm19 @calenlass

I think that dropping the EC requirement completely to upgrade Coves would be disastrous for EC values. It's important to have certain site features continue to require EC. This is a core feature of the game. It takes time to acquire your favorite creatures and expand your...

snowywinter • 7 September 2022 at 3:22 PM

@mr-blue-bones I probably would still just put up with paying full price for the cove expansions. I don't use the click exchange as I'd be afraid that people would think I wanted the rest of my cove fed. I knew a lot of people that used the CE when I first joined and they said it was a great way t...

snowywinter • 7 September 2022 at 1:54 PM

SOMETHING HAS to be done. We're at nearly 1000 creatures now, buying new cove spaces can be daunting when at least 4 new creatures are introduced per month.

Instead of the amount of EC being adjusted, what if they added at least one free cove space per every two creatures introduced? (Personally...

heatherm19 • 7 September 2022 at 1:03 AM

I like the idea of a site-wide increase to the 'standard' cove size, but that doesn't really help with the issues this suggestion would. Only users already under the standard cove size, or just a little bit over, would really benefit from that (unless the increase was really substantial, like up to...

chapus • 6 September 2022 at 11:04 PM

I think honestly instead of reducing the price as it would indeed sink the value of EC, why not give a site-wide cove increase? This has been done before since with time, 4-5 new creatures a month adds up very quickly... and it's been a looong time since we got a site-wide free expansion of coves....

snowywinter • 4 September 2022 at 9:42 PM

Ctrl + left click reallllllly saved me a lot of time today in figuring out the answer to Site Trivia.
Definitely plan on utilizing it in some feeding going forward.
(Don't know why I never adopted it before.)

(I really like using right click but for some reason today it was putting "ope...

Hi @leafire89
Those are some of my favorite animals too. (I like a lot, but wolves are my absolute favorites. And of all the cool things and good news that can be found online, I think foxes jumping on trampolines win the internet. - Sorry cats. lol.)

There aren't a whole lot of games on the si...

snowywinter • 27 August 2022 at 6:27 PM

I'd second this. Even if it wasn't long term and only the buyer and seller could see it. A week maybe. (I know this stuff takes server storage space.)

But I like to keep records of what I've bought and sold (and Thank people for trades/auctions once they are complete.) Unfortunately, th...

@ida92 I wish this site had the option to bookmark/star accounts. That is a beautiful collection. : )

@galaxydragonzz

I find that just being active on the site works. If you feed other player's pets, they'll feed yours back 9 times out of 10. And while the click exchange works somewhat, with so many people using it, it's not the most effective. Literally just posting on forums can net you views o...

hi, everyone, i saw this game in cs and decided to join, I don't like click games a lot but this site seems cool!
