Hi! 😊

That is how I should start out, right? First time post, but then again, there is a first for everything. I was a bit iffy on if I wanted to join Egg Cave; I wanted a virtual pet site that I could play and relax with and many I have come across were uncompleted and weren't appealing. I was pulled in when I saw the art. They are so cute and I love the idea of hatching them.

Please forgive my rambling, but I am a total newb. I am particularly interested in what kind of roleplaying I can join in, or what kind of games I can play, and what else can I do here. I am totally free, other than when I am painting so here I am. I would love to have someone show me around(well, mail me around?O.o Lol I make no sense).

I hope we can get along and be friends. Cause that would be awesome.

Welcome to EggCave @kodaina ~
Yes, EggCave does have great art and some of it is even made from user creature suggestions

If you need help feel free to ask because nearly everyone here will he happy to help! You can ping people by writing @ in front of their username and that person will receive a notification saying that you have pinged them on a topic. Why don't you try pinging me?

Other ways of communicating is on a person's wall, you cannot ping on a wall. The Wall is located on the person's profile and if someone writes on your wall you reply to them on THEIR wall, not yours. This is a common mistake seen XD

Another common mistake is seeing players not feeding their own creatures, you CAN feed your own creatures!

Creatures gain levels by gaining feeds, clicks and views. You will notice that even if you have clicked and fed a creature, the level won't increase straight away. This is because levels and views only update once a day, around 3am ECT

Hide your EC (EggCoins) that you get from feeding your pets and other's everyday in your Strongroom and gather the interest every day.
When unable to go on EggCave for a while leave your pets at Tim's Food Shoppe and keep an eye on the Laws of Ark (site guidelines).

To gain some friends take a look at the forum. But make sure you do not revive a 'dead' topic. A topic that has not been active for quite a number of months! There are many threads that are active and many are always happy to chat to new players!

Cave Monthlies are creatures that are only going to be obtainable for this current month, take a look at recent blog posts to see which critters are the current monthlies.

A note, please be careful with trading, many will try to get a better deal out of a newer player just because you are new. Before trading for creatures, please do a little research first!

With the list of creatures, #1 on Eggcave IS NOT the rarest, it is the most common.

Messages that only have a smiley/emote (whatever you call them where you live) are considered spam and are not allowed

Some common things you will see
CC-Cave Cash
UFT- up for trade
TUFT- Tentative up for trade
UFA- up for auction
EC- EggCoins or sometimes EggCave

I hope you have fun 😃

@kodaina Welcome to Egg Cave! 😊 referring to your question, it depends on what types of roleplays people make. all of them are open to the public, but joining them is based on your interests. ❤️ currently there aren't any games to play (like on Neopets) but there is the Wall of Sandrodons (http://eggcave.com/leila/sandrodons) in which you try to guess a number in order t win exclusive peizes, or the Site Trivia (http://eggcave.com/leila/trivia). 😸

there are also shops you can go to like the Toy Shop. c: it increases the creature's happiness like feeding, but cost 🪙. some people like to hoard toys/give them to a certain creature only to increase it's chances of getting on the Site Leaderboards. 😃

feel free to send a friend request! ^^ i'm open for questions as well. ❤️

@kodaina - Welcome to Egg Cave! It seems people have already helped you out a little, but I guess I'll join in.

There are many games to play in the Forum Games section of the forums. Most are pretty fun, and rather addicting if I must say. Other than that, there are no actual/flash games here at Egg Cave. Pfft, like we need 'em anyway. There are also many RPs, including some new ones. I have two RPs on my profile, open to new members. You can check them out, if you want. One hasn't been too active these days, and the other is in desperate need of new members. .-.
