Breeding

I know that Egg Cave already has a lot to do, but I think breeding would stop many people from quitting. Many people are saying that once their dream cove is fulfilled, they have nothing left to do. There IS one problem with breeding, though: Many of the rares will become worthless. I say that we can forbid breeding of certain creatures, but that is up to you guys. Or, you could make it more expensive depending on how rare it is... I just think this is a good idea. Things to think about are:

*Costlieness per rares bred
*It should only cost EC... I think 200,000 EC per common egg breeding once
*A certain amount of days you have to join to access this ability
*If there should be a limit to one [or any number] of times per month
*The creature has to be matured fully
*There will be an equal split of the eggs between the owners of the creatures who bred
*You can breed two of your creatures or with a friend's creature

Please consider! 😊

Although I find these regulations reasonable, I don't think this can happen in EC. I mean, in games like Neopets, where you can practically get any creature you want, I suppose breeding's fine. Same with Dragon Cave - the dragons can breed at any time, but there's really no trading system worked out, so they can basically be bred for novelty value. However, in EC, each creature was either purchased or found in the cave, and there is an active trading system. If there are explosions of a certain population, then they just lose value and can upset the whole trading system - making creatures people traded tonnes for as worthless as a Yeep. I have no opposition to doing so with cave creatures - they can be obtained at any date - but I don't think it's really fair to have LEs and CCs breeding. LEs can be gifted, and a diligent feeder may find that they have an explosion of the gifted creature. If CCS can be bred, nobody will actually purchase CC - they can be bred, right?

Say me and my friend both had Onnies. Wow! Different genders! So we breed. Again. And again. And again. Wow! So many eggs! Now Onnies are worthless!

Sorry if that sounds harsh ^^; But this is basically what will happen if we are allowed breeding creatures.

@celeste

I understand! That's actually why I put them down.
