Hi,

I'm still trying to find my way around here. Just wanted to say hi. The game told me to make friends, which makes this a little bit awkward, but maybe someone here wants to be friends with me?

And I was told to say something about myself: I loved the game Creatures when I was younger. I was trying to find something like it. Ended up here.

@mohya - Welcome to Egg Cave! If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.

If you are replying to someone, you should ping them. Otherwise, they won't know that you've done so. To ping someone, either click the bell icon under their username in the forums, or type an @ followed by their username (e.g. @sparklefox ). You can only ping up to five people per post. Sorry if you knew this already.

Checking out the Forum Rules and the Site Guidelines would be an easy way to start. Other useful links are the FAQ and eCode.

A common mistake from newbies is that they'll ping and reply to people using their own wall. Pinging does not work out of forums and the blog, and to reply to people's comments you go to their wall instead.

I don't think I've heard of Creatures before. Was it like this, or totally different?

@sparklefox Thank you!

Creatures was different. It wasn't a browser game. You had a whole world with things growing in it and small critters and sometimes dangerous thinks like an oceans, in which your creatures could drown. The creatures were called norns. They walked around in the world, you could teach them a few words and sometimes they listend, when you told them to eat a plant or something. They mostly did what they wanted and you mostly hoped they wouldn't die and would mate the way you wanted them to ;-)
I played it for hours and drew genealogical trees for my norns. I don't think there is anything like it anywhere.
