@Ian

Yeah, I may not have seen the site 2 years ago, but I am sure it has greatly improved

Ian • 9 July 2011 at 1:38 PM

@nogardragon indeed 😊

nogardragon • 9 July 2011 at 2:03 PM

Can you imagine what people would have thought if we suddenly showed them this modern eggcave 200 years ago? The probably would have killed us because we were witches 😱

@ian Egg cave used to be sooo small and nice 😊 Now its BIG and nice 😊 as long as it doesnt become to big 😸 Thank you ian for creating such an amazing site 😊

*is an oldie* 😃 😃

Haha I liked it when we basically all knew each other and there was not really anything and everyone was nice😊 but I guess sites like these have to grow😊

I remember trying to get a Mo.😊 I'm not exactly an oldie, but I came on around as soon as "Sketch City was released. At one point, as was at 100 creatures, and the message on all my Lots were "1 egg only!"😃 I made it to 50, but now I'm at 70, and people still don't trade stuff for Easter eggs. >.<😋

Not that old but the oldest thing I remember is the need to donate for the calla and when there was no CSP and the 1st CS creatures released was the onny I got so excited when the 1st egg hunt was released 😊

candy_girl_1298 • 23 July 2011 at 7:16 AM

i wish we had something else like the calla fund... i remember it needed 50billion ec XD

Great topic! 😃

It's fun to remember how much has changed. Egg Cave has come a long ways since it first began. Here are some images I have kept of my two year journey in Ark:

@joy

Aww I miss old Rosse xD It was creepy without a face 😊

joy • 23 July 2011 at 8:47 AM

Haha yeah. I actually liked the old Rosse. It taught people that beauty is only skin deep. 😋 The new one is much better though.

evolutary • 23 July 2011 at 9:09 AM

The new Rosse is so slimy. I don't really like it. Except the egg looks cool xD

christened_moon • 23 July 2011 at 9:50 AM

....So, I've been gone for a while, but recently got back into eggcave. Do I still count for the geezers club?

wolfmilk • 23 July 2011 at 9:21 PM

I missed the old Archives. It was waaaaay more convenient because you didn?t have to click through so many pages looking for a certain egg. All you had to do was hit Ctrl F.

I remember when my friend @cindy made her account a few years ago on her computer (I was standing behind her, watching) and her first egg was named Padfoot. We had trouble finding out how to feed Padfoot so it died a few weeks later. Lol.

lizardfeather • 23 July 2011 at 10:37 PM

I remeber when Ghosties for rare. And I was happily collecting eggs, searchig for the Ultra-Rare Mo... And then someone was like I'll give you a Mo for your Florn. And then people kept comenting wanting it. I'm like "Oh when did this become rare 0.0" Yea I didn't even know those creatures were rare XD

dragonrider • 24 July 2011 at 1:13 AM

@pipkitten

yeah.... i remember when all I wanted was a whoon, and I was so sad I didnt have one.

the good ol' days

metaphor • 24 July 2011 at 1:18 AM

...names. Seriously, I could forget I was stalking one for days and then finally go and find it's cleared, but still get it. Now, I have to be right there, or it'll probably be snatched up within hours. But I do love the competition, so it's not that bad. I miss a good name, shrug, and move on.😊

trolololol

pipkitten • 24 July 2011 at 1:55 AM

@Dragonrider: It's so nice to remember the golden days, eh? 😊 I remember my newb days when my creatures were almost always right on the brink of death because I couldn't feed them often... I don't know how many times my Mo almost died. XD

dionaea • 24 July 2011 at 5:49 AM

I remember when I could steel 10 random 'invisible' creatures and I'd get a christmas pet once or twice each day. I got over 3 full sets that way... And now I still haven't gotten a Flaren or Roasen from the cave myself...

@pipkitten

I also remember having to pound transfer a Krah with a really nice name because Thursdays_dove's account was so full that she couldn't use the brand new trading center XD And then I missed that Krah, but fortunately the person who got it was kind enought to trade it back to me 😸

And I remember the awesome Halloween plot of the first year, I was pretty darn quick at getting through the plot, though I did get some help 😊

I also remember having to give up creatures I liked because my cove was too full...

pipkitten • 24 July 2011 at 11:47 AM

@Dionaea: Oh! I remember that Krah! His name was Heero, I believe. Haha, I was the one who got him and sent him back to you! 😃

Unfortunately, I joined after the Halloween plot was over, but I remember wishing I had a Balrog soooo much. 😈

Getting rid of creatures is so sad! I got rid of quite a few, and now they're all dead... ☹️

hvernon • 24 March 2013 at 5:32 PM

Most of the people who won the Christmas light contest have quit. ☹️

@hvernon

[It's still green, just much lighter. Not as easy on the eyes as the dark green but eh.]

hvernon • 24 March 2013 at 7:38 PM

Well... sorta green. It's more white and gray than anything.

That link has pictures of old Eggcave.
