'World Exploration' Idea Suggestion

How about adding in other Islands around the ARK??

So the Idea is, there's a port on one side of the ARK. You can board one of the ships there Once a day to explore a random island You come across. It could be an island filled with caves and waterfalls, Mountains of fire with magma lakes around every corner, or even an underwater coral reef where many Sea creatures can be found.
NOTE :- You've got an hour -AND only and HOUR- to explore and find rare eggs hardly ever seen on the ARK normally.
But you've also got the chance of finding higher level eggs in rarer lands. So, there are Island Ranks, Stars and more.
The higher the Rank, and the More stars each island has, the more chance you'll have finding rarer eggs and finding a higher level egg.

Island Ranks
Common (Ruby Rank, 1 star, level 1 to 10 eggs)
Uncommon (Sapphire Rank, 2 stars, level 11 to 20)
Rare (Emerald Rank, 3 stars, level 21 to 30)
Very Rare (Onyx Rank 4 stars, level 31 to 40)
Legendary (Diamond Rank, 5 stars level 41 to 50)

Hope this Idea is good!

@skyvalia I really love this idea, especially since I saw Ian talking about challenges for creature re-release.

I'm kinda thinking the hour is a long time, where instead of getting one monthly at the cave, people are scooping up fifteen rares at a time. But I suppose that just depends on how many rares are available to find.

Overall I think it would be really fun, I hope it's official.

I think this would be a great addition to the site 😊 I also do think that the time limit should be shortened to maybe 15 minutes? While the site does want to encourage activity, not many users have the time to sit down and play Eggcave for an hour straight everyday 😋
Anyways, I've seen exploration games like this on other sites as well and it's a great thing to do when you're bored 😊 Perhaps add an entrance fee as well? ^^

okay then, how about half an hour? I'll shorten the time limit a month for 30 mins.

@skyvalia I like thsi idead and as @lenamilove said this could be taken under considaration when thinkg about the creature re-release feature.

@skyvalia
Oh I didn't realize you meant for an entire month 😱 Thought it was for a single day 😋

I like this idea a lot, it'd be something new and a fun daily to do. There's a limited amount of things to do on egg cave and between searching for items and travels and creatures there's only a few things to do. Most of the time you spend waiting and this would be a longer activity to do while you wait or when you want something more to do. What if you went exploring and you end up different places at different times of the day. During some hours you'd go farther and get rarer things and other hours you only go a little ways away from the island and get more common things.

The idea is awesome, it would be a very good increase in eggcave!

I love this idea and with all do respect I think we should have a fee and the different times of day you end up at a different place but how bout this every week on a chosen day at a specific 1h time period you can roam around and find really rare ones and only that 1hr spand and you could potentially find like a ticket and you add up those tickets and you can get a really rare creature to special edition ones and the time spand we have to considered school vbecause this is a site most kids are on and they have school so considered after school hours like after 3 or 4 because we have to make it farie to and I have all do respect for your idea and everyone's else's
