Remember When...?

EggCave certainly has come a long way . . .

Remember when you could only do three name changes a month, and they didn't reset at the beginning of the month like they do now - they would reset once 30 days had been reached.

candy_girl_1298 • 8 July 2011 at 10:04 PM

@thursdays_dove lol😊 and now all the oldies are quitting and there's too many newbies... ☹️

remember the mylights competition, and how ian said the rhine would come out in the "cash shop park" and we were all searching for a csp... but it didnt come out until half a year later?

thepells4 • 8 July 2011 at 10:09 PM

I liked the old days better, though. I mean, I love all the features now. But there's so much drama, and everyone's quitting. I wish it was as simple here as it was... Say, a year ago. ☹️

thursdays_dove • 8 July 2011 at 10:09 PM

@candy_girl_1298 - Yeah!!! I also remember when Ian said that there would be an EC to CC converter... That obviously has never happened. >.>

And I remember when Drakomos and Bunthoffs were common haha. They still seem "common" to me because they were for so long. O_o;

silver_winged • 8 July 2011 at 10:12 PM

Gosh, if only he hadn't thrown out the idea of the EC to CC converter. That would have been fantastic.

I agree with @thursdays_dove . It hasn't really set in yet that they're rare/endangered. XD I remember adopting my drakomo back when they were as common as alkub, solely because I didn't want to have to hatch one myself. They were all over junk egg lots.

Arg. The Mylights competition. XD I'm actually not this old on THIS account, I have an older one I gave to my sister.. So currently I'm 1 year, 8 months. But anyways, the Mylights competition was awesome. XD I didn't enter, but, the entries were amazing. ^^

candy_girl_1298 • 8 July 2011 at 10:16 PM

i know😊 too bad i joined right after😊 i like the old days wayy better😊 too many eggs now DX

in the olden days where there wqas no trade center, everyone was nice and when they got something from the ac they would give it to the right person😊

Deleted • 8 July 2011 at 10:17 PM

I entered :'D

I got like, 28ish place - I fail hard core XD

silver_winged • 8 July 2011 at 10:17 PM

I didn't enter either, but I'm personally acquainted with the person who won 2nd place and, for several months, the only female rhinedorf in existence.

I remember when I had to take October off and completely missed the Y1 ghosty plot thing. I was so completely devastated that I didn't get a balrog. It took me months before I finally traded for a CC one- I was shocked out of my mind when I saw that his name was untaken. c:

evolutary • 8 July 2011 at 10:18 PM

I remember when I only had 2 eggs and I didn't come on often and they kept dying since Tim's didn't exist yet! I also remember when I adopted my first creature Tea ❤️ I was like, OMG OMG ADOPT IT QUICKLY!! Well, not really. I was just amazed because it was fully evolved. I also remember when people had hatched eggs that needed views and were considered pro! The good times 😊 but not all of the oldies are quitting! I'm still here!! Also, lots of people joined on the 1st of August 2009. I think there are at least 5?

thepells4 • 8 July 2011 at 10:18 PM

I remember when the Mysterious Asteroid travel was realllllly rare. I got one one day and started freaking out. XD


I also remember all of the older users. The ones that I made really good friends with, until they just disapeared. Squirrelvader, Purplerooster, Katli12345, etc. T-T I miss them.

There was some drama around Halloween too. Sicne there was some glitch and people found mummars in the cave. Then Ian 'executed' all of the cave Mummars and people wwere all upset because their cave Mummars got killed. X3 I bought and frozen my Mummar, so I wasn't too happy about the glitch. But I did get to keep my Mummar AND I got a refund! X3

PELLS!

Deleted • 8 July 2011 at 10:22 PM

I didn't like how he handled that..

Because what if someone traded an Onny for a Mummar that came from the cave [But they didn't know] and then that one got deleted.
So, they lost an Onny and a Mummar.


I sent him a ticket of how he should have handled it differently.

thepells4 • 8 July 2011 at 10:30 PM

@Victoria_the_wolf Yeah, but if people bought mummars with their own cc, which they bought with their own money, but saw that people were getting mummars in the cave, they'd feel cheated. It did happen, and we did feel cheated. I bought my own mummars, along with lots of other people. And, honestly, I think people took advantage of the glitch. I mean come on! People were OVERNIGHTING mummars, and most of them knew it was a glitch, but they still wanted them for trading advantages. And Mummars aren't extremely rare, coveted creatures right now, so we're not in a huge need of them. He could've handled it differently, but he couldn't let the cave mummars stay on ec! It'd be unfair for the people who BOUGHT theirs! 😱

Deleted • 8 July 2011 at 10:33 PM

@thepells4

That's what was in my idea of how he should have handled it differently :]


Made the mummar a cave creature, and refunded the people who paid for the mummar PLUS they got 500 CC [Worth a Mummar] and 500 extra, to buy a new CSC

thursdays_dove • 8 July 2011 at 10:34 PM

Remember when you could use the Overnight Method? Oh wait, that wasn't that long ago. 😋

crescentfeather • 8 July 2011 at 10:36 PM

I'm a fail oldie.

I just HAD to find egg cave AFTER the christmas creats were retired. And I was offline when the Halldrag was released, and the cove rejected my Tinewanting. Got one eventually, but ;_;

But I'm an oldie anyways. I remember when Taigrins were first released, everybody was desperate for one... 😃 And Tasmas! Don't forget the Tasmas! I arrived after the Ghosty/Balrog competition and the MyLights. ☹️

Deleted • 8 July 2011 at 10:38 PM

Also, not everyone who had bought a mummar was innocent of going to the cave :'P I saw some people buy one, see it was in the cave, and go crazy in there.

It's like putting a cookie jar infront of a child, they will try to sneak a cookie x3

thursdays_dove • 8 July 2011 at 10:49 PM

I can't quite remember, but I think I used the extra CC I got from the Mummar glitch to buy one and give it away or trade it to someone for a common creature.

crescentfeather • 8 July 2011 at 10:55 PM

@victoria_the_wolf

I wasn't here for the Mummars, I was headdesking at school ☹️ When I came back on, I was all "WHAT HAVE I MISSED TToTT"

Deleted • 8 July 2011 at 10:57 PM

I remember one of my friends kept there CAVE MUMMAR!! I was so angry!

Deleted • 8 July 2011 at 10:58 PM

@crescentfeather


Do you know what happened?

crescentfeather • 8 July 2011 at 10:59 PM

@victoria_the_wolf

Yep yep ☹️ I'm glad I wasn't part of it, but still TT^TT

@chloekins Who??? D:

Deleted • 8 July 2011 at 11:00 PM

I think he should have given the one's who gave up their cave mummars CC or a reward >-> Because they didn't keep them and make him sift through data by giving theirs up, or making the mummar open to the cave and refunding the people who bought them + an extra 500


Cause some of the people who did purchase them //did// get some from the gave [I saw it] so they got rewarded for doing the same thing >->


But meh, the past is the past and cant be changed.

crescentfeather • 8 July 2011 at 11:01 PM

@victoria_the_wolf

Ahhh, that's why Mummars are so rare!

*confuzzled* So who is valid and who's not? ☹️

Deleted • 8 July 2011 at 11:04 PM

The one's from the cave were deleted. So, all that exist are valid. The one's who bought Mummars, the one's that you see now, got 500 CC extra, as a reward. [Forgot what for.]

hvernon • 8 July 2011 at 11:19 PM

I remember the Gosty comp, they were rare then, and everybody freaked out when they came avalible in the cave!

candy_girl_1298 • 8 July 2011 at 11:43 PM

when the ghosty's became available in 2010 i was sooo mad. they're not even considered le anymore!! but i missed the 2009 plot, so im glad i got one😊 i remember the doovoos and macbots were available for ONLY NINE HOURS and i was going to get one but by the time my mom got hom they had retired DX (they retired at 9 pm ect the day they came out DX)

Deleted • 8 July 2011 at 11:46 PM

By a glitch, I ended up getting 4 Onnies and spending all my money, so Ian gave me a refund for two and deleted the two I asked him to - and I was happy

If I knew the Macbots and Doovoo's were that popular I would have gotten one, rofl
