@iia Well, you make a good point. But, in my case I don't tend to buy CSP unless they are to my liking. I picked 200CC because, it is enough for one user to get in a month while feeding for EC (busy or not with irl situations). Then, other users come into play. Whether it is another free-to-play use...

@Lucas @laylamocha
For reference: Eggcave releases a minimum of 3.2kcc worth of new (and rerelease) CSP every month. Say we can earn 200cc a month. That means that you could buy up to 7%(rounded up) of CSP as an ABSOLUTE minimum (if they add a 200cc csp or a 3rd or higher priced rerelease 200cc wil...

EggCave has been one of my favored sites ever since 2018, then I could spend afternoons just clicking and feeding for EC.. but overtime it took up too much of my time, not to say that I didn't have the creatures that I wanted by then..

If I couldn't get my hands on CC, a lot of the pretty crea...

I think you don't hear too much about updates because throughout this entire site there are only Ian, Meteoroid, Orderedchaos, jazzyliea and mastergemma. (Also the eggcaveteam bot just send out auto messages I think)
But I think for site development and coding it might just be Ian and Meteoroid????...

@brookie @iia @mr-blue-bones @prairie

I do agree that there should be more transparency on EC about big updates and changes. And I think this thread has had enough attention and input to warrant a response from @ian at this point.

I would say that there is little incentive to implement this c...

mr-blue-bones • 3 February 2022 at 1:38 PM

@iia One of the first things I noticed when I joined was a distinct lack of updates from @ian about what was happening site side or just communication in general.
On all the other websites I use there are frequent updates from the creators and mods about what they're planning, updates on what they'...

prairie • 3 February 2022 at 1:32 PM

@structuresfromsilence
No unfortunately. Ian has yet to reply to this topic or reach out to me in regards to it so best we can do is spread the word by pinging other active members of the community to keep the topic in high talking point.
For all I know ian wants to try to put the sign in plan h...

@watagachi
Running any kind of script/auto feeder/clicker is not allowed. These kinds of things are incredibly hard on the server and can cause the site to slow down for everyone.

lobstertheremin • 1 February 2022 at 8:29 PM

While there are many ideas for improving the site that would take lots of time to code and implement, an EC to CC terminal would be relatively easy.

What say you, @Ian? Don't lose sight of the forest for the trees. It might be tempting to keep the status quo, but look at the site long-term. The p...

autumnal • 1 February 2022 at 8:14 PM

I agree @iia, the benefits outweigh the consequences. Don't worry @ian, the site will be okay. Why not just give it a try? Let us know 😊

aquafaba • 31 January 2022 at 6:17 PM

I want to bump what @iia said near the beginning of this conversation:

"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 is a decline of activity on this site. I find tha...

viltuvitrast • 31 January 2022 at 5:34 PM

I would also like to see this feature implemented 😊 it seems like a standard feature for pet sites, so I hope it will happen.

riceboysleeps • 30 January 2022 at 4:16 PM

@viltuvitrast I also want this feature. I would find it interesting to go through the earliest creatures. And sometimes it's helpful for site trivia as well.

riceboysleeps • 30 January 2022 at 4:14 PM

@sapphire12 I definitely want this. Stocking a shop is currently a bit tedious. This feature would make it much faster and easier to add new items to the shop.

viltuvitrast • 30 January 2022 at 2:28 PM

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...

viltuvitrast • 30 January 2022 at 2:17 PM

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.

structuresfromsilence • 29 January 2022 at 9:52 PM

@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...

prairie • 28 January 2022 at 4:14 PM

@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...

autumnal • 28 January 2022 at 11:41 AM

@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.

quinoafuntime • 26 January 2022 at 3:29 PM

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 😊
