[EPF] Overall Site Suggestions

in Site Feedback & Ideas

Should I Close the EPF?




Deleted • 26 July 2013 at 8:00 AM

Actually, this is not a [EPF] suggestion, just thought of adding the group name in it, to promote the EPF threads

^-^

EPF already has some useful guides open up for the whole of EggCave 😊

EPF Creature Guide
EPF Travel Guide

Feel free to add more. Also this topic is free to debates over certain suggestions.

FORUMS ;

• Forums Livepulse having options to filter which section they need to view [Forum Games can be quite annoying]
• While editing a post, the --- / 10,000 limit should be shown
• An increased ping limit for select forums
• OPs can block people from their threads (posting)
• A special option by the OPs, to record post edits to avoid cheating in auctions. If the person is bound to edit their posts, it would be such a option that would show that below the post time, the edit time for the owner of the auction to see the cheating.
• A redirection link on the top of the Problems and Bugs and Help and Questions forum to the FAQ, as people dont know about as they rarely read the last part of the page to see it.
• A masquerade option to hide the fact that this option was enabled. [To record the people who are unfair] [not
to criticize them, but to block them from future auctions]
• OPs can change the topic names.
• New sections; User Shops and Auction Center.
* The User Shops is a new forum in which someone can post their own creatures/travels UFT as the Travels in the TA. If the specific prices are mentioned, then users can do an auto option to sell out their creature on a trade lot directly for an offer of that amount or more. Always remember to do your own research before trades through the EPF Creature Guide
* Auction Center is a direct place in which people have certain lots set up from a certain time period to end at a certain time period. People can bid EC onto it, and their EC would be deducted as if they offered onto it. If someone outbids them, a notification appears that they have been outbid, and their EC which they bid gets credited back. The highest bid so far can be viewed on that itself.
The final bid is stopped and withheld there and cannot be withdrawn. It is the owners option to accept or cancel the auction after the time period.
Withdrawing the bid would cause the previous bid to take its position. Notifications are given on auctions. The owner would not get 100s of bids, but only a single notifications saying x users placed bids on your auction lot #******
Autoaccepts can be programmed to do direct trades. Negotiation via wall posts or PMs.
The log of all bids is with the owner for future reference.
The log of all bids do not get deleted when the lot is closed, but stored in a special Past Auction pages, and can be deleted at the owners desire.
A limit of 100 logs can be given.
This can also be an extension of the trade center.

I have some developed photos as examples if you'd like;

• Search Auctions; http://i40.tinypic.com/2dlq1d3.jpg and http://i42.tinypic.com/s3ivmf.png
• Create New Auction; http://i44.tinypic.com/2qn1i8k.png
• Search Travels; http://i41.tinypic.com/257n953.png and http://i43.tinypic.com/2vbmsm8.png

• Seperate forums for contests, riddles and trivias.
• Seperation of Creature Suggestions and Site Suggestions


TIMS FOOD SHOPPE ;

• You can schedule Tims to activate at a certain time period to another time period for the same cost
• A small decrease in the fee.
• For coves having a huge number of creatures, this option must be done;
* After filtering out the immortals, when you click select all, even the immortals get selected. The update is that after the immortals are filtered out, clicking the select all button would result in only mortal creatures
in the checklist.

COVE ;

• An increase of the creature limit from 300 to 500 or 600 (supporting those creature collectors who collect one of each species)

SITE SUGGESTIONS ;

• Loyal user perks
• Triple feed days in a year, as quarter yearly or per two months.
• New parts of the World of Ark unvealed.
• The links to eggcavern.net and dex.eggcavern should be hyperlinked
• Official references to the CaveDex / EggCavern on the site itself [forum post/FAQ]
• Certain achievements/badges on profiles.
• New section; Travel Center - A place where you can accept and send trades to certain people involving travels only. This place also allows transferring of EC. This place can involve trading of travels. Here, someone can send a travel trade including a travel or EC [no junk travel needed as a junk egg in trades] and trade it for somebody else's travel. Blocked users cannot travel trade with those who blocked them. People can also set whether their travels are for trade or not, and thus can disable their involvement in the Travel Center by turning it off.
Another way is that it would function just like the trade center, and we can offer EC on travels without a need for a junk travel.
• EC can be gifted without requiring a trade.
• Side Account Panel;
* Links all side accounts and restricts all daily activities. Limit of side accounts: 3 (becomes 4 in total with the main account). Opening a daily activity page would show a entry restricted page (if its on purpose or by mistake as well)
* Creatures in side accounts can be managed by the main account without having to switch. Thus, heavy transfers of 200+ creatures can be made easier to go. Linking side accounts would be like linking the accounts on EC with eggcavern (by the verification code posted onto the profiles)
* All accounts can be made into one single email. Only a total of 4 accounts per email.
* If you are in process of making a new account to transfer the creatures, you can get a 5th account temporarily added to your panel for a week. [dailies still restricted] - This can only be done my mods on sending a ticket. If the account limit hasnt reached 4 within a week, the extra account would be deleted and the person would get a
verbal warning.
* Booking of Tims for side accounts by a single main account
* Side accounts can access certain forums for trading, RPs etc.
* Certain topics like raffles, contests and lucky draws would have a filtering option to disable any interference from side accounts. To make it fair and safe.
* It is compulsory to verify all side accounts [upto how much you own] for reference for moderators but it is optional to show all/any of your side accounts in your profile. Those who have secret do not view sides can be kept a secret.
* You can transfer CC from your side accounts to your main, but for this option, you'd have to get a verification that all accounts operate from one single Internet Protocol Address and no illegal CC trade is happening
* Out of topic suggestion, but in the travels inventory, there should be a select all button for mass sending alltravels to a side account. For the ease of large auctions, there must be a selection to tick those which you want to send in bulk to someone who won the auction/is doing the trade.
* Travel inventory and storage of side accounts is manageable by the main account.

TRAVEL AGENCY ;

• Certain periods of discount in the TA. 20% - 70% off on travels.
• Clearance sales at the end of the month, a huge number of travels available in high quantities for sale.
• A direct option to purchase the travel without haggling (requires security code though) - to prevent auto purchasing by bots.

SITE TRIVIA

• Blocked for side accounts
• An increase in the prize pool, perhaps 250,000 EC to 300,000EC.

Deleted • 26 July 2013 at 8:01 AM

THE STRONGROOM ;

• In banks, there should be certain fixed deposit schemes, for a long time, such as a month, or an year. You can deposit your EC, (a few millions) for an increased interest rate of 10% per year. If we close the FD before it matures, then no interest would be given, but at the maturation date, we would receive the additional EC.

* For example, if we deposit 10 million EC for an year, and in between, say 9 months, we close it due to our own needs, and thus loose any interest. But if we get to the date of maturation of the deposit, we get a total of 11 million EC. ^^
Or if we follow compound interest, we get much more.
[Compund Interest = Amount - Principal]
[ Amount = Principal (1 + R/100)^t ]

SITE BLOG

• We can search blog posts by date or key terms, rather than going far back between pages.

INVENTORY ;

• Option in Items Storage to withdraw all travels present inside.
• A select all option which can be either donated, sent, discarded, or stored in the strongroom.
• Main accounts can manage the inventory of side accounts
• Travels can be scheduled to drop by the Donations Center.

DONATIONS CENTER ;

• An automatic travel dropper which may even drop out rare travels.
* People are becoming so greedy that least travels are donated.
• LEs and CSP creatures can be dropped out in the donation center (not junk eggs, even if they are star, frozen and immortal because junk eggs should go to the adoption center)
• Scheduling certain LE/CSP creatures or travels to drop out at specific times.

ARK CITY ;

• Unvealing of Magic Shop, and the Hospital.
• New level-ups available for purchase for EC. [Level up your creatures by 500, 1000 to make immortalising easier]

CASH SHOP PARK ;

• All CSP stones and elixirs made trade-able items in the Inventory/Trade Center
• The "NEW" symbol removed from Resurrection Stone [lol]
• An addition of a elixir which would use up 50CC.
* When someone freezes a creature, and stars the creature and changes its gender, the total used is 450CC. The amount they have originally was 500CC, and they are left with 50 of useless CC. If they cant purchase CC anymore, then there must be a use for this 50CC.
* To be exact with this, a level skip potion [skip a level of a creature evolution to the next stage of the person who is applying this]
• Discount on CaveCash on special events.

THE MYSTERIOUS ASTEROID ;

• Retiring of the Storticai, Pareteorsite and Tenalp (or at least any two)
• Some certain days per month when you can try twice.
• Addition of new good looking aliens in the Asteroid.
• A better and cool artwork for the asteroid.

SAR CENTER ;

• A history of research conducted by the SARC.
• Calla (retire) and addition of new creatures.

PREVIOUS SITE EVENTS ;

• Updating the page.
• Missing information should be filled up. The following events are missing;
* The Mysterious Feather
* Easter 2013 Egg Hunt
* Click the Gobblers Event

TOWN HALL ;

• More name changes per month
• Name changes disabled on sides

TRADE CENTER ;

• When offering EC, there is no need of offering a junk egg.
• Addition of new features (travel, auctions - as mentioned earlier)

LEILA

• Addition of new buildings
• Improved artwork

THE MONTHLY LEADERBOARDS ;

• An EC prize to those who mantain the top 5 creatures in each leaderboard aspect.

ALKUB RACING ;

• The Alkubs here have started to become lonely. The previous site had a link to the Alkub racing on each page. Links to Alkub Racing should be provided below the search category on the right hand side of the EggCave page.
• Increase of the prize as 15,000 - 25,000 to increase interest of people to join the Alkub Racing.
• Blocking of Alkub Racing for side accounts [after verification from the Side Account Panel]

THE ARCHIVES ;

• Unreleased creatures can be viewed in the archives [BUT no creature names would be given out as the fun is there in waiting and stealing the original names on the spot with competition]
• Avoidance of moderators stealing original creature names - If it means that they have access to the creatures beforehand, it does not mean that they can abuse their powers and steal the original name beforehand (before the time the creatures are released)
• Addition of travels archives in EggCave.

MAIL ;

• Increased character count per PM.
• Disablement of mail option to select users, friends, all or none. [though eggcave site staff members can send a
mail, or view your mail at any time]
• Starring conversations according to one's personal importance.

THE CAVE ;

• On days of release of new cave creatures, steal counts resets. And if the 10 cave steal counts were not used, then they get credited onto it and the user can steal a total of 20 for that day. [Note that unused cave attempts dont get carried over to the next day] (not on days of release of cave monthlies)
• The steal time is also mentioned under the creatures with their steal date.

OTHER ;

• Games like Solitaire, Mahajong, Match 3 games to earn EC.
• Introducing a wheel of fortune, giving prizes ranging as 10k, 20k, 50k and 100k EC. Disabled for side accounts, and prizes in EC only.
• Customize Profiles
• Private Forums
• New Cave Design
• New Cave Creatures (and retiring old creatures)

Feel free to instruct me to add new suggestions. I will do so if I see the suggestion as useful. I'll add others as soon as I notice.

IMPLEMENTED IDEAS
• New Cave Design
• Creature Auctions
• User Contests and Giveaway Forum Section
• Splitting of the Ideas and Suggestion forum into 2 seperate ones for Creature Suggestions and Site Suggestions.
• Town Hall modified to gain more name changes.

I like the suggestion of some games here to earn EC...as of now there's only 1 way :-/

Only feeding.
At least games would provide some relief and relaxation and after that we can resume to feeding.

@frosted Ooooh, I love all of these ideas 8D
I asked a mod about changing names on side accounts, and she answered that as long as the name changes are not used for trading purposes, it's ok to use them to ONLY change your creatures' names! ^^
So I don't think it's necessary to have extra name changes 😸

Deleted • 26 July 2013 at 1:35 PM

@frosted

I love all of these suggestions! There is one thing I'd like to add though. I think it'd be great to be able to ping more than five people per post in the forums.
It would make life a lot easier for the role players involved in large group RP's. .-.

EDIT: Ok, scratch that I have multiple things to add.

1) The ability to ping more than five people. (as explained above) I believe that between 10 and 12 pings per post would be a good number. If it's a problem for the forums as a whole because people don't want to be bothered maybe this change could just be implemented for the RolePlay section.

2) Speaking of the RolePlay section. I think that dividing it further into sub-sections would make navigation easier. Divisions like "Literate, Semi-Literate and Open Literacy" would be good examples or if that doesn't work maybe splitting them between "Human, Animal and Fantasy/Other" would be more likely?

karamel • 1 September 2013 at 7:56 AM

I'm going to comment on several ones I disagree with.

An increased ping limit from 5 to 10: Encourages more spam. Why do we need this? You can always use side accounts or get someone to help you ping people.

An increase of the creature limit from 300 to 500 or 600: We're allowed 3 other side accounts. That means 4 accounts in total - we can already have 1200 creatures. Do we really need double that number?

Loyal user perks: Depends what you get.

New parts of the World of Ark unvealed: I'm sure Ian is planning this, but just suggesting this is a little vague. What exactly are you looking for? We know that (from Ian's interview on ECvern) he could be planning a "Magic Shop", "Hospital" and something to do with "scary castles" (although that could be a plot).

The links to eggcavern.net and dex.eggcavern should be hyperlinked: (No need to put the "dex.eggcavern" as well; "eggcavern.net" is the 'original' link.) No; ECvern is not officially affiliated with EC. Same for the other ECvern suggestion.

All accounts can be made into one single email. Only a total of 4 accounts per email: /Only/ if it's used for side account purposes and you have to put in your original account's password when registering the new side account. I can see this being abused.

If you are in process of making a new account to transfer the creatures, you can get a 5th account temporarily added to your panel for a week: You can use your other side accounts. I'm not entirely sure why you need a 5th one...?

Certain topics like raffles, contests and lucky draws would have a filtering option to disable any interference from side accounts: Can this even be done? Unless you ban side account posting altogether or use IP addresses (in which case, people in the same household cannot participate in the same raffle).
Also, raffles/contests aren't officially a part of Egg Cave and the forum cannot automatically detect whether the topic is actually a raffle or not. There's always the option to activate the option but what if you need your side accounts to post in it as well?

You can transfer CC from your side accounts to your main: People in the same household can transfer CC to each other. Maybe we should have something like a side account verification - sort of like a password but for all the /side/ accounts? Or if side accounts are verified for mods, then transferring CC could be moderated. (Or is that too extensive? xD)

(Site Trivia) Blocked for side accounts: It's already against the rules. 😋

Your Strongroom suggestion: I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "close it down" - you can't close down your bank account and it's impossible to go negative because you can't pre-pay for anything (so you don't have bills. Everything is paid for straight; there's no planning).

LEs and CSP creatures can be dropped out in the donation center: That's like a free adoption center. I see why you'd want this ("if we can donate travels, why not creatures too?") but no support from me.

New level-ups available for purchase for EC: I'd rather this be available via CC, or just have less levels.

Blocking of Alkub Racing for side accounts: Already against the rules.

Unreleased creatures can be viewed in the archives: Wait, so we can view the art but not the name? And it would come up in the 4 Newest Species section or what?

Avoidance of moderators stealing original creature names - If it means that they have access to the creatures beforehand, it does not mean that they can abuse their powers and steal the original name beforehand: That's like saying if I make a creature suggestion, since I know the name of my suggestion I can use it. By chance it get released and then it's 'unfair'.
I see what you mean, though. I'm sitting on the fence with this. Technically it /is/ fair because they were prepared. You can prepare yourself by trying to take all the names of the creatures in the Creature Suggestions section. 😉

The steal time is also mentioned under the creatures with their steal date: I don't see the need for this; you can easily look at the time you stole it right after that because there's an ECT clock in the top right corner.

New Cave Creatures (and retiring old creatures): Too vague; we already have cave monthlies that are coming in pretty steadily. If you want more creatures, try suggesting some.

@kittykatty I think that's going too far; we already have travels. ><

Deleted • 6 September 2013 at 10:43 PM

Firstly, the current ping limit is very less, and it needs an increase.
Preferably to 10, for select forums, regarding General Discussion, and Creature Trading, to promote trading.
I can also go with if it is increased to 7, as I sometimes reply to more than 7 people.

There needs a full clarification. You didnt understand it mostly.
You are viewing them from another perspective

How would people know? Even the mods refer to as " Travel/Creature Data uploaded/updated in Cavedex" - If they were to be linked, then the newbies (who don't know much about the site) can easily access them.

There are many people, like @ kota, @ furfur, @ skibaerle and so who are collecting all possible creatures, as 4 (and even more) creatures are added per month, its hard for them to maintain theirs in a single cove (as some of them want all creatures - in a single cove)

All the site activities can still be accessed, but when the Side Account Panel is created, then it can be used to block out pages like the Cave, Mysterious Asteroid, Site Trivia, and Alkub Racing. If then, when the access is restricted, cheating is decreased

4 accounts in a single email; how can that be misused? Clarify your criticism about this topic on that idea.

Raffles/Contest ARE a PART of EC FORUMS. Check this out. By the Side Account Panel, when all people having side accounts (and their data) has been inputted into the database.

A simple one hour maintenance time is enough to input (more than half) of all the data.
Say, if you have 290 - 300 in all 4 coves of yours, and you need to transfer something.. You'd need a temporary 5th one.
If you were to give it to an EC friend, they might even cheat you, and not give your creatures back.
You can only trust yourself. Thats the main fact online.

In Strongroom, the FD (fixed deposits) have increased interest rates, of perhaps 10% - 12% if we deposit for a period of 3 months - 1 year, and do not interfere in between.
If it has to be cancelled/closed in between, you will get your original amount (the principal) but no interest would be claimed, but if you redeem it on the due date (or after the due date), you get the whole amount with the principal and interest.
Thats a way of profit.

The ping limit can be preferably to RolePlays only.


If you have 100 here, and 150 there. You need a freeze. The only thing you can do is wait for a ticket to be responded, but actually, you need the freeze done today, as your creature would evolve tomorrow. With the side account panel, you can transfer the CC from there to your main and freeze your creature.
Accessing all accounts from the main account.
Also, nobody is selling freezes.

Like a CSP per month, and some LEs at the time of release.
Its good to be so.

If that was also to be through CC, then it'd be too much. The current rates for CC would EVEN increase tremendously to 50k EC per 1CC. I dont want to give a platform for that, if you wanted so.

They get it before the release, (the mods). It is UNFAIR if you come to see that your creature suggestion's name taken and they do not give it back.

No the newest species would be for those who have been released recently. There'd be a section, 'Upcoming Species' showing only egg/1st stages of certain creatures (and no name - to prevent the early stealing of original names)
The release date for those creatures also to be scheduled. 😃

Not all have the time. Thats a time saver, as well as something that should have been implemented from the start, so that suggestion is a long shot.

Commons, and retiring commons that have been for years.

I like your suggestions. I think that the max cove size should be the number of unique creatures in existence. So every month it would go up by at least four.

@frosted

Do you always assume everyone is a cheater before you begin?
I cannot believe how far you want to dissect everything and start treating the strongroom like a real bank and refer to the the EPF guide for everything?

I don't even check the EPF guide because there is no real grasp for creature value to start with and from there it goes downhill. For me at least. So to want to incorporate it into everything is, 'game over man, game over'. Unless I have to be liquidated first?


• <--- what is that anyway? Random question.

"LEs and CSPs are for those generous people, not for those greedy and creature-thirsty ones."

I have to say that those kinds of comments show unhealthy contempt. It also seems that you want to impose something akin to martial law and its creepy

I did not end that last sentence with a period. Did you notice that? Did it really bother you? Random questions. I do that.

Now, you think that we need higher limits and more coves because... of all the non creature greedy people that cannot live within the Four Cove Limit & Creature Limit?

This is a game, you do know that right? •


@kittykatty

Travels are not enough and I would like to be able to have a Cove backdrop or theme and add Travels to compliment it. Sounds fun to me 😊

I'm with @karamel except, I don't have the patience to go into that kind of detail over going into that kind of detail. •

@frosted

I wrote short statements and it got you tweaked enough to write all of this?

Ask yourself, why?

Reading your caveats and addendum is long enough without it being littered with emotional outbursts for justification of the caveats and addendum. Its just going too far.

"If you don't check the guide, then you can just go and mind your own business and stop sticking your nose in these affairs if you have a grudge towards the EPF.
I'm already on the verge of quitting, and I might be shutting down the EPF, so certain people can stay happy over that."

I am neither happy or sad about this statement.

Putting emotional statements in the EPF Guide has come through in volumes and it is to this point alone that I have injected myself into the conversation.

Life is life and you cannot control it.

Give a price list and update it. It's that simple.

Players do get ripped off. I am friends with a very young man that got an Ott taken away from him due to a vicious player. He cried and now hates this game.

It does not justify making new players jaded from the start.

You are trying on one hand to give new players tools of defense and on the other hand you are trying to control the behavior of players you deem unfit.

It boils down to drama. You can go to great lengths to justify it, I just don't care to read it. If you focused on prices the EPF would be running strong.

1. You are thorough so stay focused on the goal.
2. Reach out to players that do have a firm grasp of creature value to enhance what is needed. A price list.
3. Once you have a strong and successful Guide, then branch out into another project.

Deleted • 25 September 2013 at 5:09 AM

@mighty-lair
Who do you think you are?
You're just irritating. You are mocking the hard work of the EPF team in making the guide. You can't make one yourself, and you are dissatisfied with the guide. We don't get PAID for doing this. It is just a voluntary service which we are doing.
Please stop your criticism, stop throwing tantrums, and control yourself, or I would have to report you to the authorities.
Stop being rude, else I'll block you from the guide.

Wow, this is huge. I can't read it all in one try. 😃 But I'll add this one to my favourites so I can add my opinion later. Most likely tomorrow. 😉

Well, I'll start with the beginning: Forums suggestions.
They all are great. I'm especially fond of the auction system suggestion. Auctions are kinda painful right now. You have to update them regularly and they can be very confusing (more pages and one person doesn't recognize e.g.). Your suggestion sounds so very easy in comparison. Would be absolutely great if that one could be done.

I love most of the ideas and I like pretty much all the rest. But I'll give a detailed opinion anyway. (No real need to reed it all) I go through them in order and react to almost every claim separately.

Forums:
I don't use them much so I don't have insight to what's good and bad about them. Pings are really limited though... So getting to ping more people in one post would be nice... but maybe also the option to not get notified when people ping you (mostly for people that get pinged all the time cause people know who they are, not people like me in other words)

Tim's Food Shoppe:
Yes, maybe and a big yes to the last one.

Cove:
Yes, if there should be a limit at all it should not be so close to the number of different creatures available.

Site Suggestions:
I don't understand what you mean with "triple feed days in a year" since there is one every month... time to edit?
Better linking to at least a few outside sites would be nice and would of course include eggcavern. Posting eggcave images in the forum would be nice too.
Eggcave don't have to officially link to eggcavern in anyway though.
Badges are fun.
Trading and actioning travels would be nice.
Sending EC would be nice.
I like your take on side accounts almost as much as my own (but since they don't really deal with the same area they can both be implemented at the same time I think)
I would love to have a "select all" option when moving travels from inventory to storage.

Travel Agency:
I would love more action in the TA... it's kinda dull and slow right now.
And I really don't like that I have to specify that I want to buy it for the proposed price. I haven't haggled once in real life and I see no real point to buying something if you think its offered price to expensive. So I would love to jut buy the travel instead of constantly answering the pointless question "What are you offering for it?" (answer always being "Exactly what you asked for it on the price tag. Stop asking.")

Site Trivia:
If we could get side account management implemented it would certainly work better and be more fun (since we would see the ACTUAL number of people who knew the answer and not just the total number of accounts they have)
More 🪙 in the prize pool would be fun since the low payback is the main reason I forget to go there every day.

The Strongroom:
I think a full year would be over kill but it would be fun to double your EC by locking it away for two months or something. I've seen other games where this is used and I like it. It's like a little gamble. "Will I really not need this EC to buy and awesome and rare travel in the next two months?". I don't think it should be possible to cancel the proses though... It takes away the thrill of it.

Site Blog:
I currently use google for this and google is surprisingly uncooperative with it. So I support this idea.

Inventory:
...Withdraw to where? You can already mark a page at a time (30?) and of you withdraw all those travels your inventory will be close to full. I personally have 10 pages of travels and inventory can only hold 50.
I guess #2 is about the inventory part and you already brought up that it needed a mark all in the mass move option... I like the details added here.
Another reason side account management would be nice.
Hm... that could be fun...

Donation Center:
Hm... I don't think this is necessary. Some other way to motivate people to donate instead. Like getting some kind of points (or badge or a ticket ot a kind of lottery or maybe even one CC)... and maybe the one picking up your travel could get a notification about who donated that travel.
I think creatures should stay in the adoption center.
Putting up a plan for dropping travels automatically could be fun. then some players could get together and create that thing you suggested in the first one.

Ark City:
I think they're working on the hospital and magic shop though I don't have the faintest what players would do there.
To pay EC to level up my creatures instead of interacting with people? I ❤️ that idea! I might even get to sleep.

Cash Shop Park.
YES to the first one
Hey. they implemented this.
I think that since they still want to make as mush money as possible it would be a bad idea for them to implement an idea that discourages you from buying more CC. If there was a poll or some other data that indicated that it would encourage more people to but 500 CC than it would discourage people to buy CC again then it would make sense... but research is needed.
Aaaand they implemented this too. Gave me back a dead creature for only 200 CC. I love on-line Christmas.

The Mysterious Asteroid:
I think it's a bit early for them to retire. (A lot of people who want them don't have them despite trying every day. )
It's supposed to be this mysterious and dangerous place. Going there more than once a day could be hazardous to your health.
I think 2/3 is good looking already so I don't get the point. New asteroid creatures? It would make more sense (Look at me wanting sense from an online game page) if a new asteroid appeared.
I think the asteroid page looks fine. You want more travels? (Given the crater is a bit small to the point I doubt the stone is actually from space and not just radioactive)

SaR Center:
That could be fun to read... but someone has to write it. and that's so much work...
They have given us more creatures (and I love them)

Previous Site Events:
I guess it could need an update... I've also forgotten how to find the page... where do they link to it officially (I have it in my bookmarks) ?

Town hall:
They now charge for every change but it's unlimited (Yay!)
... and that removes any reason to disable it for side accounts.
(I also thing you should be able to do dailies with a side or partly whit a side but say you try with your side five times in the cave and then go to your main and have 5 tries left there. It would be great in my opinion)

Trade Center:
That would be great. Have they done that?
And I still agree that travels should be traded around.

Leila:
I disagree... I doesn't need any of those things though I wouldn't complain if they got them. But I just think there are funnier additions to this site that they could work on.

The monthly leaderboards:
Well that could be fun but since it's monthly I think only the one with the top spot at the end of every month should get a prize.

Alkub Racing:
They probably are. I forget about them all the time.
I thin k the reason the price is low is since the chance of winning is relatively high. No real need to alter it since it would throw things out of balance. (5 people all bet on different alkubs making the pot 5000 and then one person wins and takes all the EC the only reason the prize is more than that already is cause no one actually has to provide the money here)
And I still support side account management since I'm a control freak that currently doesn't get sides cause I would forget about them.

The Archives:
But... I like the surprise...
I don't see why people obsess about "Original name" It's not like and English speaking person would name a child "human" or a Swedish person would name them "Människa". It's rather strange to want to do that to a pet. Virtual or not.
I don't feel too strong a need for a travel archives on Eggcave since eggcavern already got it covered. I don't see why I would need to copies of it and I don't see what improvements can be done to the version on eggcavern.

Mail:
Longer PMs!
... what do you mean now? Like blocking them? there is that option under Preferences: Account Controls & Blocks

The Cave:
So double steal counts on days that new creatures get released? That could be used as a first hint. If the counter is set before the creature is released. That would be a little fun...
And I'm interested in the time sometimes... but not really enough to bother...

Other:
Games! I love games!
I don't see why a wheel of fortune would have the restriction to 🪙 prizes only. It could have travels, cave monthlies and maybe even CC is a rare prize depending on the number that participates. (Is the reason that they don't fix side account management because they don't want to "loose" all the extra users that the side accounts have become?)
We can already customize profiles a little. What did you have in mind?
Private? I don't know... Restrict who posts maybe but only is a dislike button for comments is introduced. It's a forum. Why shut people out? Keep it to PMs?
Skipping what's implemented that leaves retiring old creatures and I guess I see the point... though it shines a dark light (... you get what I mean... maybe) on the future of real life animals. They're all going extinct cause they can't adapt to the changes humans invoke on the environment where they live. So I sort of want them to stay... Maybe the alkub needs to get a redraw to polish up the lines.

Things I want answers to (taken out of context):

I don't understand what you mean with "triple feed days in a year" since there is one every month... time to edit?

...Withdraw to where? You can already mark a page at a time (30?) and of you withdraw all those travels your inventory will be close to full. I personally have 10 pages of travels and inventory can only hold 50.

"Disablement of mail option to select users, friends, all or none. [though eggcave site staff members can send a mail, or view your mail at any time]"... what do you mean now? Like blocking them? there is that option under Preferences: Account Controls & Blocks

We can already customize profiles a little. What did you have in mind?

Private Forums? I don't know... Restrict who posts maybe but only is a dislike button for comments is introduced. It's a forum. Why shut people out? Keep it to PMs? Again: what do you mean?

@shinasuki
I dont reed them, I read them.

Site Suggestions:
Somewhat like triple feed days in place of doubles like quarter yearly. It was for the old time when people wanted about 8 million EC for just 250CC.

The Strongroom:
Cancellation is for emergency purpose, it need not be done always, or even implemented.

Inventory:
Select all and mass-send to an account.

Donation Center:
It felt quite neglected and lonely, as nobody except a very meagre amount of people donate anything there.

CSP:
Need to update the list soon...

The Mysterious Asteroid:
They had been here for over 3 years.
A better view.. mainly as people might have been seeing that old asteroid for the years it been there.

SAR Center:
Typing work is no problem for me, a single moderator request, and I'll be to work in no time.
I just need some info on all researches as I can't like /memorize/ every updates there.

Previous Site Updates:
It had been in the footer of EC.
Last Link, Last Line.

Town Hall:
As told, it is implemented, much to the joy of many.

Leila:
Another way to get more EC, and relieve yourself of boredom.

Alkub Racing:
There are hardly 3-4 bets per day on that in my views.
No official link, you need to go to the Leila and visit.

@frosted
Previous site events: Wow... how have I missed that? Thank you.

Town hall: I know. I love it. >.<

Leila: Wouldn't it be more fun to get a new area all together? A beach maybe where you can get to all the games we don't have yet?

Alkub Racing:
I personally don't bet since there is no skill or special insight that can even give me a higher chance to win. It's all chance and I'm not the kind who buys lottery tickets.
Yeah, they did have it in the side bar for a while. I don't know why they removed it...

(Battery low? O.O That's never good. )

Deleted • 17 January 2014 at 5:10 AM

@shinasuki

Got another spare battery put in... 40% here...

The Cave:
Not necessary for that implementation to happen.
I was thinking to remove it from the list.

PM:
Yes. I guess so PM restrictions have got implemented.

//need to update the posts fast//

Private Forums, is not at all needed.
It was for cheaters in auctions who edit their posts and do whatsoever bad play they can. Just to blacklist unfair people, but the Creature Auction Center implementation topped it all.

@frosted
Cave: Hm... something to think about.

PM: So that was all you meant? Oki.

//need to update fast? You better get to it then. 'Like the wind!'//

Well it's nice that it got solved with auctions.

(thank you~)
