Still hoping for an answer 😊

@ian What is the feasibility of these ideas? Would it take years to code and program daily missions/achievments that award cc? If it would be a big pain, maybe it would be better to just do the conversion terminal with a monthly cap. If it wouldn't take too long thou...

riceboysleeps • 18 April 2022 at 11:20 AM

@dragrawr That could be interesting (having multiple places where you can earn CC). We could get some in the CC to EC terminal, some via quests, some via daily sign-ins, some via daily missions, maybe some via Wall of Sandrodons, etc. That way, different types of site gameplay are incentivized (feed...

The text in the Strongroom mentions things can't be stolen from there, which implies that things *can* be stolen if not in there, but I can't find any info about how or if that's actually possible. So, can EC be stolen from you, and under what circumstances is that possible?
Also what are the advan...

@myriadium ..."clicking around and giving up for a few more minutes works just fine for me."
That's essentially the same method I used (I was also playing another game at the same time and sometimes had to give my full attention to it for a few minutes at a time. lol.) ...but I click WAY a...

I asked this on the blog post but no one responded so I'll try here -

First time question: is this like the Gobbler hunt where the eggs just show up randomly and you can refresh the same page over and over again until you find one? Or are they hidden in specific spots that don't change and you ha...

@jirachiwishmaker I agree with you 100000000000000000 percent. I couldn't feed last sunday because the site was so slow I couldn't do it because to many users were online so I missed out and Now I am broke

quinoafuntime • 15 April 2022 at 4:35 PM

Thank you for your post @blub. I totally agree with everything you said and I appreciate you taking the time to write out your heartfelt thoughts. @ian, please let us know what the plan is with making this site less pay to play. It is something that so many of us are waiting for.

blub • 15 April 2022 at 2:55 PM

I'm an old player and I've definitely seen how the site got more and more CC focused, and how so most trades have gone CC focused. I used to trade a lot, now I just can't bring myself to it anymore.
For a while I actually had fun to get CC with patience, with EC through feeding, and good trading. F...

greengrassoftunnel • 15 April 2022 at 12:11 PM

I feel a bit frustrated seeing so much attention towards the premium rereleases but that we haven't seen any new updates on making Eggcave less pay to play in a few months (and it was 12 years ago in 2010 that Ian said that [url=https://eggcave.com/blog/mylights-2009-winners-announced?page=1]an EC t...

eeveestar • 13 April 2022 at 4:03 AM

lets see if I can actually put this together HAHAHA its been a good ol 10 years my account on existed on the site and I have felt fairly nostalgic and just baffled at how old my account is (and how old I am T_T)

so today I'd like to give back to this site for being here for so long- I present a c...

quinoafuntime • 12 April 2022 at 6:13 PM

@dragrawr thank you for your posts on this thread and on my thread (about eggcave being too pay to play), I like the way you talk about your opinions. It's very kind and respectful 😊

"But truly being able to convert ec to cc seems like a blessing it really does. I would be able to buy cash shop...

megamisama90 • 12 April 2022 at 11:11 AM

I'm very interested @lbowe_elbow! It's very useful site ^^ and love the creature viewer ❤️

lbowe_elbow • 11 April 2022 at 8:10 PM

@widgetspinner

I changed these and marked them as available. Thank you for your help keeping the site up-to-date!

structuresfromsilence • 11 April 2022 at 3:04 PM

@dragrawr I agree so much with what you're saying and I love your positivity. It is good to have players like you on this site ❤️

@crescentmoons thank you for your input, I like what you're saying as well. "I am a person who does have a bit of money to spare here and there to support the games/si...

crescentmoons • 10 April 2022 at 1:25 AM

I don't want to offend anyone here but like....over the years, any time I've seen a discussion on a website/game where something is clearly broken and needs addressing, there are always some folks ready to talk about how making improvements that involve making a game "easier" or more accessible will...

dragrawr • 8 April 2022 at 6:01 PM

I’m gonna input a quick sentiment. This game is truly lovely, and I have been here since 2015 and I was just a kid. Being able to collect these adorable creatures kept me excited to play, kept me coming back.
💕🌸🌸💕💖💕
The site being too pay to play is a fact, as seen in this forum. And I just...

dragrawr • 8 April 2022 at 5:56 PM

@aquafaba

Yes this suggestion will not work without the cc terminal. And I totally agree with you. Ec needs to not deflate or this game will become practically unplayable. I think instead of tweaking prices too much we could go for getting cove spaces randomly from site trivia.

How do you fee...

@lbowe_elbow @prairie

Thank you so much for the reply. Glad to see that the site is still active.

My WL is actually under kaiserbakura. Will try to log in in check.

Edit: Just checked, the WL is working again. However the link to share your WL doesn't seem to work. It just bring you to a pa...

lbowe_elbow • 8 April 2022 at 1:39 PM

@pet_cemetery howdy! SOrry for the issues. We're in the middle of moving the site to a new host. There are going to be a llot of changes. So please DM me or something any time you run into issues. Idk how those wayback links got there lol. But it has been fixed.

I made a post on the eggcavity hom...

ida92 • 8 April 2022 at 3:11 AM

@myriadium Same as @dragrawr - I absolutely support those two. It's so annoying to have to put half numbers or think of other ways to organise the creatures on the list as I want them to be. It would be much easier just to drag them around. And sometimes I want to find all creatures from a certain y...

prairie • 7 April 2022 at 8:44 PM

@pet_cemetery
It’s currently under major new changes.
@lbowe_elbow would know more stuff about eggcavity. (Sorry for the ping if you don’t want it lbowe) Have seen a few people asking about eggcavity around the site.

pet_cemetery • 7 April 2022 at 5:31 PM

Sorry, I don't know where this goes.

I went to check my wishlist to update it. I copied pasted the link into the bar only for Eggcavity to say the WL doesn't exist.

Confused I logged in to try to get to my WL that way but I can't log in. Then I noticed a way back machine at the top of the page...

errantmountain • 7 April 2022 at 2:21 PM

@sparklefox omg thank you so much! you saved me so much time looking through all the species haha :>

sparklefox • 7 April 2022 at 7:48 AM

@errantmountain - As far as I'm aware (may be wrong):

(Quests)
Manjul = Mirkang
Sophie = Floss
Hamilton = Boarage
Keahi = Pahoehoe
Arkimedes = Minoete

(Shop Owners)
Travel Agency = Chimera
Thief Shop = Doovoo
Kirk (Toy Shop) = Kringus
Marzi (Bakery) = Gingerlion...

errantmountain • 7 April 2022 at 2:56 AM

Hello all!
Is there a species Keahi from Miserable Meltdown relates to? Or, well, if any of the Merchants do.
I couldn't find anything on my own (but I am also a newbie), so maybe it's not actually a thing, I would like to know more about the NPC's so was just wondering ^^

Own findings so far:...

aquafaba • 6 April 2022 at 4:49 PM

I like the ideas here, but I don't think enough attention is being paid to how making cove expansions cheaper will deflate the value of EC, which is already incredibly deflated. Without expensive cove expansions, there will be little use for EC among older more seasoned players, which will make trad...

dragrawr • 6 April 2022 at 4:43 PM

I like the game idea, perhaps every month the max amount of free coves spaces someone can get is 8 or so. For example we get 4 for free each month on ONE account. Then there could be a raffle each week giving away 1-2 cove spaces without expensive tickets- say you can only buy one ticket for 2k ec,...

crescentmoons • 6 April 2022 at 7:44 AM

Everyone's responses here have been wonderful and well-put. I'm just coming back from a very long break and being reminded of all the reasons I signed up. I loved the creature collection and the overall mature and kind nature of the community. Even when I started (several years ago) I found getting...

aquafaba • 5 April 2022 at 10:10 PM

I wouldn't be so sure that it would lower profits! The fact that the site is so geared towards CC right now is causing many players to leave, and new players usually don't stick around for very long once they realize how much money or time (years) it would take to get the creatures they want to get....
