I'm trying to find the name of a creature that I know was released last year, but I don't know which month and it would take a lot of time to go through every blog post. Please add the feature to sort by release date (the newest creature in the beginning going to the oldest creature at the end). Tha...

Does Budgie update this anymore? It doesn't seem like she's able to get online much. Should we switch to using another pricing guide? EggCavity has one and I think the mods of that site update the prices more frequently. Just a thought 😊

Pinging a few people that I see on this thread.

@iia @autumnal thanks for your posts 😸 I would love to see the donation center having more stuff in it. I think this feature would make a lot of difference.

autumnal • 29 January 2022 at 3:00 PM

Let's make this happen! Right now The site is too focused on getting you to spend money. It's killing the site imo. Either make a premium website that costs money to get in, or make a free site that's truly free (ie you can get your dream cove without spending money). Spending money will make the pr...

@brookie
I certainly would agree with you that I'd prefer 500cc be the minimum.
400cc is the absolute lowest I'd possibly set it at if I was to choose. But even then its kinda a bit of a jerk move as its just dangling that 500cc mark in front of people who are working hard to collect EC an...

@duckpeas Hi welcome to the site 😊

riceboysleeps • 27 January 2022 at 3:36 PM

I agree with @justagiannamoment about how collecting EC is the main focus of the site. Or at least how it should be the main focus of the site. It used to be, but it seems like nowadays it's more about buying CC. I say this as a brand new player of course, but that's how it seems to me.

dougprishpreed • 26 January 2022 at 11:16 PM

While I agree with @ida92 that more mini games would be nice, that seems like it would be a lot of work to develop. Since I think only one person is doing all the work, that might not be possible at this time. However, the ability to convert 5 million ec to 500 cc a month should be pretty easy to im...

@talialyoko
Welcome to Eggcave!
I'd be happy to try to help you out on any questions you got around the site. 😊
I hope you enjoy your time here.

500cc a month seems fair. Free players can get 1 CSP or save up to get 1 rerelease every 2 months. I think it's a good foot in the door. Lots of people will want more and then will be more likely to spend money. Plus all of the benefits that other people have already mentioned like more activity on...

ida92 • 26 January 2022 at 1:44 AM

@prairie @iia @riceboysleeps I was in bed when writing the previous post and pretty tired already. I haven't taken re-releases under consideration. Now that you have mentioned it, 500CC does seem to be fair, since the overall price of all the CC stuff per month exceeds 4kCC.

Also, I like the idea...

iia • 25 January 2022 at 6:20 PM

@prairie @ida92

Personally, I think it is fair to have a cap at 500cc simply because 2-3(1kcc+ Each) rereleases plus 2 cash shop creatures(1kcc) and 4 cash shop travels(200cc) released every month. For someone that tries to buy everything that’s about 4.2kcc($42USD) of releases PER MONTH. Honestl...

prairie • 25 January 2022 at 4:49 PM

@ida92
I agree that I think in the end there's going to need to be a side account 'link'. It would just make it much more easy for users and mods alike.
while I could see 200cc being a ok cap (if there's going to be a 200cc creature available perhaps, like there once was) however since there isn...

ida92 • 25 January 2022 at 4:33 PM

@prairie On one hand I like and support the idea. Onthe other, I'm worried about the site's economy. I'm aware that there are a lot of kids and people who cannot buy or afford CC for various reasons. Perhaps the limit could be like 200CC a month if 500 would be too much. Also, I agree that this shou...

viltuvitrast • 25 January 2022 at 3:50 PM

This feature would be so great, I would love it. I still think that CC is very inflated these days. There simply isn't enough of it to go around for casual players, to the point where it frustrates them and causes them to leave the site.

greengrassoftunnel • 25 January 2022 at 3:22 PM

I agree too. I hope Ian will read this! It seems like a majority of players want this kind of feature implemented. And I agree that it would bring more activity to the site and get more new players 😊

kayleyh_11 • 24 January 2022 at 11:46 PM

banned for saying this site is dying☹️

noxura • 24 January 2022 at 5:18 AM

How about being able to see which items your customers purchased for convenience sake?

dougprishpreed • 23 January 2022 at 3:33 PM

I agree, the way it is now you basically just pay for creatures. It seems like more of a shop than a game site. I have fun here, but the site seems like shopping with extra steps (purchase CC, finding trades). Is that what the developers want the site to be?

aquafaba • 23 January 2022 at 12:23 PM

Like @brookie said: For a new player since end of 2021, the catching up slog is very intimidating. That and the fact that most creatures are unobtainable without spending money. Allowing everyone access to a little bit of CC every month through site gameplay would bring in more people and more activ...

in all seriousness, the critter i'd be most sad to see go is the mo. i've been here for over a decade (!), and i can still remember being a kid, discovering this little gem of a site, and thinking mos were just the coolest...

greengrassoftunnel • 22 January 2022 at 12:28 PM

@riceboysleeps good point, the site should reward hard work more. The site should also reward spending money of course, but not so obviously and game breakingly.

riceboysleeps • 22 January 2022 at 11:56 AM

I love EC and have spent lots of time on here since I joined, but I'm frustrated by how the real way to collect rare creatures is simply to pay money for them instead of spending time on the site. Someone could spend 2 hours and get almost all the creatures they want if they just spend a ton on CC a...

aquafaba • 21 January 2022 at 12:03 PM

I just joined the site recently so I've never done this before. Sounds fun! hope it happens soon 😊

viltuvitrast • 21 January 2022 at 11:30 AM

I agree with @chapus, letting players get one current CSP with hard work instead of just money would improve the site. Let free players have access to all of the site's features but make it a slog so that purchasing CC is still incentivized.

chapus • 20 January 2022 at 3:37 PM

A bit late to the party, but I also agree with this!! I've been playing Egg Cave for so many years now and I think this EC to CC conversion, especially with a hard limit, would really help bolster activity and the uses for EC. That way if people want a monthly, they can afford to gain one with a lit...

aquafaba • 20 January 2022 at 12:37 PM

I like the idea of 5m ec converted to 500 cc once a month. There are enough CSP creatures, the two monthlies and the two rereleases, that people will want more cc and are likely to buy more. But it's enough to give poor players a good entry into the game. I agree that this will lead to more people s...

structuresfromsilence • 19 January 2022 at 9:26 PM

I remember when I first found this site. The screen that you see before you log in contains a selection of a few random creatures. I clicked refresh a few times just to see what kinds of different creatures I would see. That was a big motivation for me making an account, the idea of there being so m...

Bolgfir is cool, don't see too many humanlike creatures on this site.
