@autumnal Unfortunately from the devs standpoint creating such a system would likely lower their profits. (in comparison creating the re-release system people were asking for is likely increasing their profits)That alone makes it unlikely to be implemented. Sure I'd like a conversion terminal as wel...

autumnal • 5 April 2022 at 4:33 PM

I have to agree with @dragrawr and @aquafaba on this one. @storm-sage, here are some quotes from older players (who have had time for their creatures to increase in value) who still feel that it would be beneficial to increase the amount of opportunities to acquire CC through the site:

"When I st...

aquafaba • 5 April 2022 at 4:00 PM

@dragrawr I agree with you. So many people are constantly asking for CC, which means that there is too little of it to go around. For me, the fact that people only want CC for creatures takes the fun out of the game. A way to earn CC by being here and feeding coves or doing quests or something seems...

@lobstertheremin
I personally haven't spent any money on the site.

The real trick is patience. Collecting as many of the limited time pets as possible and holding them as they go up in value. When I first joined I collected a lot of Cerberus pets as they were cool and free at the cave. Today t...

@ian Thinking about this thread this morning and hoping that the problems with the site being too pay to play are fixed soon. I like the CSPs this month and would love to earn them through hours spent on the site. As it stands, I'm discouraged from spending real money here because of how necessary i...

@ida92 - perhaps the EC to CC convertion and cove expansion price revaluation could be implemented together?

Ida, I like your idea of implementing a way to get CC through site gameplay (such as Prairie's idea of an EC to CC conversion terminal that is capped at 500 CC per mont...

@kataclysm @viltuvitrast @spacecowboy79 @riceboysleeps @lobstertheremin @laylamocha @aquafaba

Thank you for all your thoughts! I'm happy that I'm not alone in feeling frustrated by the inability to acquire so many creatures without spending money here.

@ian, any new developments? I'm sure you'...

structuresfromsilence • 4 April 2022 at 1:28 PM

@dragrawr It's nice to see older players and newer players having the same opinion on this. @ian, please let us know what the status is on making this site less 'pay to collect' when you can. We're very excited about it 😊

pwuffy • 3 April 2022 at 11:55 AM

@dragrawr totally agree with what @/senkou said, making it your profile creature is a great way especially if you comment on site blogs/walls/are active in the forums so your creature will get a lot of exposure that way!

you can also put up several creatures on yarold's click exchange which i fou...

aquafaba • 1 April 2022 at 12:44 PM

@laylamocha Nice to read your thoughts 😊

I agree with you that getting CC is the issue. Even if we want to bug other players for it though, it's still hard to find players who are interested in trading CC for EC (whenever CC voucher trade lots come up, they're offered on and closed very quickly...

lobstertheremin • 31 March 2022 at 12:54 PM

@spacecowboy79 I like your idea of adding CC to the VEND pool, and I also like @prairie's idea of an EC to CC terminal. Both of those seem pretty simple to implement.

I keep wanting to bring this up because I'm missing so much great content on this site (monthly CSPs and rereleases) that I want t...

riceboysleeps • 30 March 2022 at 12:44 PM

Very well put, @quinoafuntime @kataclysm and @spacecowboy79 😊

First things first: the site is too pay-to-win/pay-to-play. Almost any creature you want can be yours quickly if you pay. You can freeze any stage you want if you pay. You can get loads of EC within the hour if you buy and trade CC vo...

@firemoondragon Hi 😊 welcome to the site. I'll send you a friend request and feeds

firemoondragon • 29 March 2022 at 5:34 PM

Hi I just made a new account couple days ago this eggcave site looks interesting and I enjoy getting eggs from the cave and the fun it brings to me.

spacecowboy79 • 29 March 2022 at 1:16 PM

@viltuvitrast
thanks for the ping!

I completely agree, Eggcave seems to be very much a pay to play site and could use a huge improvement in that regard. I’ve bought CC once (admittedly not a lot, only 500) to make an offer on a creature I REALLY wanted, because there didn’t seem to be any other...

kataclysm • 29 March 2022 at 1:06 PM

Thank you for the high praise! That means a lot to me.

I know Ian is listening - he's a good staff member. I was recently griping about not being able to purchase items from a blocked user's store, despite their items showing up in search results, and he popped in and agreed and fixed the issue....

greengrassoftunnel • 29 March 2022 at 1:00 PM

Really bummed that I'm going to miss the Onny and Squearth rereleases because I'm too poor to avoid CC. I spend hours a day on this site and love being here but it seems like if I don't pay, I don't really matter.

Hope there will be more progress on this soon. I like the EC to CC Conversion Termi...

viltuvitrast • 29 March 2022 at 12:45 PM

I completely agree. I feel very left out because I don't have much money to spend on this site. I spend a lot of time on this site and enjoy it but I feel like they don't care very much about players like me ☹️

Today is another day when we might hear something 😊

@kataclysm I always enjoy reading your eloquent and well-reasoned posts. Thanks for your support ❤️ I'm really hoping that we'll see an increase in inclusivity in the content on this wonderful site. The pay to play nature is a source of sadness to me right now, but there's a potential for it to get...

aquafaba • 28 March 2022 at 12:49 PM

Thanks for the ping @quinoafuntime. I definitely agree with you that Eggcave is pay to play, and it's sad because I like the site a lot. I hope that @ian and the team is working on it.

@kataclysm said it well: "Making cashcave ONLY attainable via actual money is a poor business plan. Hopefully th...

You create a storage account the same way you created your main account. You will need a different email address than you used for your main account.

If you do create a storage account please make sure to read all the rules for them in the [url=https://eggcave.com/guidelines]Site G...

quinoafuntime • 27 March 2022 at 3:20 PM

Nice to see so many people posting on this thread. I'm glad that it's not just me who feels this way. I'll keep asking for updates because I'd love to see this site become even better than it already is 😊

autumnal • 27 March 2022 at 3:10 PM

Sorry to ping you, I won't do it any more 😊

But I think it's wishful thinking to just hope that things will change without pushing. Maybe in some cases it works, but not in this one (judging by how long this has been a problem). And I think it's dangerous logic to threaten not to listen to someo...

nathreok • 27 March 2022 at 2:13 PM

I also read up on what @Orderedchaos said.

I agree with them, so please just let Ian do what he can for the site and just be patient with him and the rest of the Eggcave staff and developers.

dougprishpreed • 27 March 2022 at 1:45 PM

I agree with you @greengrassoftunnel. Unfortunately, I don't think it's realistic to just be silent and hope that a company does what we want them to do. We need to vocalize our desires in order for there to be a chance that we are heard. I hope Ian doesn't feel stressed out by this, though. It's no...

dougprishpreed • 27 March 2022 at 12:14 PM

@nathreok Ian has too much of a life to do what he said he would do 12 years ago? With respect, I don't buy it. This is also Ian's job, since I'm sure he makes a good deal of money from it.

Plenty of other site changes have happened in those 12 years, but not this one? That's why I want to put pr...

greengrassoftunnel • 27 March 2022 at 11:59 AM

@nathreok "It will take a bunch of time, but everything that comes to coding a site, takes time and users patience. Regardless if most are already anxiously waiting for something to be done now/soon."

You might know this already, but @Ian stated back in 2010 that [url=https://eggcave.com/blog/myl...

viltuvitrast • 26 March 2022 at 9:26 PM

@quinoafuntime I completely agree. I feel very left out because I don't have much money to spend on this site. I like my time here but I feel like they don't care very much about players like me ☹️

autumnal • 26 March 2022 at 9:16 PM

I don't think that implementing an ec to cc exchange would take as much time as making an achievement system from the ground up. It would just be a page where you spend increments of 500k ec for 50 cc with a cap of 500 cc per player per month. Sounds pretty simple.

Judging by how quickly recent q...

nathreok • 26 March 2022 at 3:45 PM

@quinoafuntime ,

Yes the achievement/milestone would take time, but implementing an Exchange would also take time (and possibly the same amount of time). I used have a coder/website owner as a friend and honestly it's hard to code something new into a site like here.

Especially if the coders...
