The cost of Egg Cave

Up to a month ago I could say that too XD But I couldn't resist... My cave had about $100 worth of CC in it though, before I started buying myself 😸

@crooton1

GAHHHHHH.
This frustrates me so much!

If they complain about prices,
THEN THEY SHOULDN'T BUY.

Simple as that. D:

It keeps this website running, and i know its a pixel, but seriously, live a little!😋 And i know bad economy, but if you save small change and save instead of spend spend spend, then you can easily spend $5 on something thats pretty and unique😋 you dont HAVE to buy a ds game. you DONT have to buy icecream and desserts [A. its not good for you B. Did ya know SUGAR feeds CANCER?(same with diabetes) C.girls and boys, it causes pimples D:] you also DONT have to buy cc. Fair's fair, you can trade for them.

1.High sugar intake doesn't cause cancer. Technically it does feed it though simply because sugar feeds your body! Cancer is pretty much your body freaking out.

2. Sugar doesn't cause diabetes, if you are diabetic you need to monitor your sugar intake, but if you eat more ice cream you aren't going to get more diabetic. Obesity is one of the many factors to type two diabetes, but is in no way a guarantee that if you are a fat piece of lard that you will be diabetic. It has more to do with your genes.


Just sayin.

How did this go onto the topic of sugar? 😋 Lol

How can we judge an economy when we can only trade creatures for other creatures? It's up to the players to decide what everything is worth, if some players think the cost of cash shop creatures is too high, maybe they should think about how much a site like this costs to run. :c

Uh. As for having creatures at a dollar, I already explained why this is un-reasonable. Paypal charges a flat fee PLUS a percentage. I read on another site if they gave things for a dollar, they'd be losing money.

@nkiey

..anything we overtake would cause us to get cancer..

I'm with @elysian on this one.

Paying a host is expensive.. Ian also pays artists as well. So yeah.. He needs money, I do admit monthlies are a bit costly but who says you NEED to get them all? You can also save up your creatures and trade those with someone who's willing to trade monthlies.

So yeah.. Guys stop complaining and enjoy the site. It's a good one and hasn't turned commercial (like neo) yet and probably won't. Yeah, it's in a stalemate a bit but everything has a period like that. Be patient people and join some additional site to keep you busy.

I do agree it would be cool to have one additional monthly as a Cave critter. But yeah, that's up to Ian to decide.

Support.

I would TOTALLY buy CC with my own money. (I have like, 25 bucks right now. 😋 )

BUT MY MOM DOESN'T TRUST PAYPAL!!!!!!

I WISH I COULD REPORT PEOPLE WHO COMPLAIN THAT EGGCAVE IS TOO EXPENSIVE. I MEAN ITS FREE! YOUR NOT FORCED TO BUY "MEMBERSHIP" OR ANYTHING. AND YOU CAN TRADE FOR CC EGGS! ITS TOTALY FAIR DX



and yes i meant to have caps lock XD

meixiaotian • 2 September 2011 at 6:39 PM

@candy_giirl_1298 yeah, i agree, and you're right, you don't NEED to buy membership, like foopets. Have you seen that place? You HAVE to pay now, I couldn't even visit an online card thing when I was logged on. And 5 dollars is NOT expensive. To me.

nkiay • 2 September 2011 at 7:21 PM

@lillia

Not true. 😊

@nkiay my mom's reading this book called:
"Never Fear Cancer Again"
It says sugar feeds cancer[cancer eats sugar basically]
And diabetes is hereditary, but like you said, obescity and stuff[from junk food intake] can cause diabetes.

Everyone has Cancer CELLS.
But people who have actual Cancer has had something wrong with their Cancer cells.

And Sugar can increase your chances of diabetes, that is if you are not active and the sugar just lays around in your body not being turned into energy.

And back to the actual point of this topic:

I agree, even though some of my buddies here do complain, buying something isn't necessary here, and trading is still an option for those who can't buy CC. But I do understand where they're coming from, I mean, it feels nice actually buying your own creatures for once. ;D

I buy CC because I don't play video games or go to movies very often. I guess it's just my form of entertainment. I've spent the equivalent of at least 20 XBOX games here, but that's just where my interests lie.


And this is totally unrelated, @icicle_9510 makes a great opportunity for an analogy with the dessert example. Moderation is key! 😋
