@brookie
BINGO man do I feel you on the "Game of Catch-up" bit.
If the site had a reliable way of users being able to get CC, I wouldn't feel like it's a endless coin slot if that makes sense.
CC has drove this site into the ground of a seemingly more 'pay to "win" game' so much that I find th...

@brookie
I agree with your point exactly! If there was more user engagement, trading would be a lot more fun and new users would have better access to older creatures. In general I believe if CC is more accessible it would likely increase the number of people that would want to purchase it and use...

@tryvegan4theanimals

I definitely agree with your points.

I have bought CC in the past, but I don't see a point in doing that now since I feel like it's a constant game of catch-up. I would consider buying more CC if the site was more lively, and that would make it more worth it for the pric...

I'm a newbie to pet sites like this, just started over the xmas holidays and I really love it. Each site has their own brand of creatures/pets that are so adorable. I can't wait till my eggs hatch and surprise me with what I have. I am Canadian, taking college courses and working part time. To help...

tryvegan4theanimals • 19 January 2022 at 4:26 PM

My offer still stands: I'd be more than happy to purchase some CC if this feature is implemented. I personally would also be happy with more ads if that meant that the site was friendlier to players that don't have a lot of money. Thanks again for this post, @prairie, and everyone else who commented...

@cryogenics
There are enough items in the database that I'm not going to page through it an remove the CSP travels/items. As it currently stands there are over 6100 items on the site.

viltuvitrast • 18 January 2022 at 9:42 PM

It seems interesting that Ian once said "EC can be converted into cash to be used at the cash shop... Egg Cave will ALWAYS BE FREE " because the site is very oriented towards the premium currency. I wish this was different. I hope that whoever has the power to implement such a feature (converting E...

You eagerly wait for the egg to hatch... the egg sits there and then begins to crack.
YOU TAKE YOUR MYSTERY EGG SUCCESSFULLY!!! You're overwhelmed with excitement as you gaze upon your brand-new egg. You immediately have feelings of love and care for your creature. You notice that it's a Izalav and...

stellalunagirl • 17 January 2022 at 9:29 PM

@iia

Another good point made. Allowing users to earn CC or at least make CC more accessible would definitely encourage more users to participate in various site events and increase the overall activity on EC. Would then also make trading for re-releases/ acquiring said re-releases more accessible...

Banned bc this site is dying ☹️

iia • 16 January 2022 at 5:11 PM

@autumnal
Completely right! A main reason newbies leave the site is because they don’t want to spend money on cc. A terminal would encourage newbies to stay and possibly buy cc when they feel more comfortable and established. This would also encourage people to spread the word about eggcave, leadin...

@viltuvitrast
Yeah, I find it irritating that EC doesn’t have an option to filter or disable notifications for things other than forum pings. Nearly every pet site I’ve ever played has had this option. Plus I don’t care about the blog.

autumnal • 16 January 2022 at 11:00 AM

I like this idea, too. As a new player, I see that there are big problems with the site being so focused on getting people to spend money. It's like a Chinese finger trap: the more we try to get people to spend money, the worse the site looks to newcomers. But the counter-intuitive decision of letti...

pwuffy • 14 January 2022 at 10:12 PM

@xmidnightstarx haha it feels weird not to say "welcome to egg cave" but i guess that wouldn't quite be appropriate since you're not a new user! nice to meet you though emily 😊 i also love the sims, i've been itching to re-download the sims 4 lately... you might have convinced me to actually go ahe...

Hey everyone, as you can see I am not new. But, I've only just recently reached the point where I am comfortable enough to make a topic in the site intros! So, without further ado, I'm Emily! It's so nice to meet everyone and get to know all the friends I have made so far.

Probably should say a b...

prairie • 13 January 2022 at 12:56 AM

@poserpanda

As someone who's been on the site for awhile, I do love the idea of the player guide getting a "Things to do" and "Events" type guide.
However, I do disagree on a few other points.


On the "500 feeds, 1000 views, 2000 clicks" I think that is just fine, especially on the views b...

poserpanda • 12 January 2022 at 11:13 PM

Thank you. I did check the site's settings and we can turn off notifications. Unfortunately the ping setting is not quite what we're hoping for. If you guys haven't seen this account control already, here's what it says.

"Do Not Ping"

"If you want a quieter Egg Cave experience, you can turn of...

riceboysleeps • 12 January 2022 at 10:31 PM

I stand by what I wrote above. And lexicon put it well:

"I just really would like to see the site more active again, I feel like there's been a lull in both trading and the forums lately and hopefully this idea will make CC more attainable...

Deleted • 12 January 2022 at 5:38 PM

Personally, I find it annoying when I get a notification only to find out that it was just a new Site Blog post. So my suggestion is to have an option to turn off notifications for certain things, such as:
• New Site Blog posts
• Earning daily login rewards
• New CSPs available
• Available steal...

tryvegan4theanimals • 10 January 2022 at 4:20 PM

@nanami I like this design! I would love to have more humanoid creatures on the site. Nice work 😊👍

viltuvitrast • 9 January 2022 at 8:25 PM

CC is so inflated. Not very fun for new users with not a lot of money. A terminal like this would be great! And having a monthly limit would help keep people supporting the site 😊

structuresfromsilence • 9 January 2022 at 7:50 PM

I also think this would help the site and bring more people into the game 😊

sierravashti • 8 January 2022 at 7:00 AM

I don't want anything really ^^' I'm not sure on the rules of cross site trading so I'm fine with users just contributing the resurrection cost 😊 The eggs should be enjoyed and I won't be on here after all the trades are done

dougprishpreed • 7 January 2022 at 8:27 PM

I love all the ideas here. @prairie did a great job laying it out. I also like @iia's idea of putting more rare/valuable creatures in the VEND (since those creatures are obtainable with hard work, EC, and time spent on the site feeding and helping out other players). I haven't done quests yet myself...

doublechin • 7 January 2022 at 11:58 AM

I barely ever go on the forums and I'm so glad I did today. It's my first time hearing about the EC to CC conversion idea and this honestly makes me feel excited about. I could tell that all of the above ideas and suggestions are from players that truly care about keeping the site sustainable and en...

iia • 7 January 2022 at 4:20 AM

I love reading all of these suggestions❤️

As far as money for the site goes, I don’t feel bad pushing to implement this. Eggcave has surely been making a good chuck of cash with rereleases especially considering some of them have a value of 22USD. If they aren’t making money it’s because they’re...

lexicon • 7 January 2022 at 1:04 AM

@prairie

As a veteran player myself I love and support this idea❤️. It's definitely been proposed in the past but I think a cap would be great to make sure things don't get too out of hand! 500CC seems reasonable to me. Not too much to throw values out of wack but not too little because you can...

prairie • 7 January 2022 at 1:00 AM

@riceboysleeps
As far as disincentivizing the purchase of cavecash, I feel like this suggestion - which implements a limit - should keep that from happening. I don't believe the last suggestion had a limit.
I highly agree that bot abuse would rise, though all for what, the ability to get...

@jirachiwishmaker
In all honesty, I literally forgot the click exchange was a thing.
But I think the idea of having the XC center having the ability to turn points into EC is really cool! Something like that would hopefully make the click exchange center more active. (perhaps make or bump a topi...
