I'm CanadianKitty. I just joined and was wondering why I can't really name my creatures!!! I have to give them weird names.

@canadiankitty
Egg Cave is a fun adoptables web site where you can adopt creatures, share them, take care of them, and make new friends. Mainly, you can collect and raise over 500 different creatures. You can get creatures daily at the cave. Creatures can die if you don’t feed them, but they will turn immortal at level 2000+, meaning they will not die. You can level up and grow creatures by getting them views, clicks and feeds. Feeding creatures is the most effective way to gain EC or eggcoins (the site’s currency). You can use EC to buy creatures, items and backgrounds called travels.

Words to know:
UFT: Up for Trade
NFT: Not for Trade
TNT: Transfer not Trade (do not offer)
UFA: Up for Auction or Up for Adoption
EC: Egg Coins (Currency - free)
CC: Cave Cash (Currency - costs real money)
CSP: Cash Shop Park Creature
TA: Travel Agency
PM: Private Message

When starting to trade, make sure you read peoples’ profiles and the creature profiles before asking them if something is UFT. I recommend learning how much a creature or item is worth before trying to trade for it.

How to feed quickly:
Follow these steps:
1) Ctrl+click all the eggs (that your computer can handle without lagging)
2) Click the first tab
3) Feed the egg
4) Hit ctrl+w
5) Keep your mouse in the same place (feed) and continue clicking then ctrl+w
6) Repeat

To get started, I would check out the Help & FAQ section at http://eggcave.com/explore/faq
Rules can be found here: http://eggcave.com/guidelines

If you have any questions feel free to ask!

Make sure you reply to people on THEIR wall and reply to people on the forums by clicking the bell or putting an @ symbol in front of their name so they get a notification called a ping. You can practice pinging me.

Have a great time on Egg Cave!

Hey there! And to why you can't name your creatures is because somebody in EggCave already has a creature with that name. I'm not sure if it still not available when the creature dies (Yes, if your pet's happiness drops, then they are in the risk of dying), so that's why you create weird names. For me, I usually pick names using my native language (Chinese) and translate the English to Chinese. Since you're new here, I'll be your first friend and get you started on hatching your creatures.

Tips:
Click on XC under ''Your Account'' to visit the Click Exchange. Click on ''Manage Your Creatures'' to add those who you want to have feeds, clicks, or views, and select how much you want.
(You can see when your egg hatches or creature evolve by scrolling down and clicking ''Read more about this species --->'' under any creature profile.)
There are many places to get eggs. All are the Egg Cave (Clicking Adopt), Mysterious Asteroid (May have a low chance of getting any eggs), the Thief Shop (Eggs are pretty expensive), Adoption Center (Pay $4,500 EC to adopt), Cash Shop Park (Virtual cash is payed with real money), Creature Trading, and Creature Auctions.
Just like @promise said, you can feed quickly by pressing CRTL on your keyboard (Only for computer and laptop users), and clicking on which eggs you want to feed while still pressing the CRTL key. It may take a while to get all the tabs loaded up and may result in lag.
If you're ever away from Internet or on vacation, go to ''Tim's Food Shoppe'' under ''Shops'' and you can ask him to take care and feed your eggs while you're away. But be careful, it does cost a lot of EC.

I hope you have a marvelous day in EggCave, CanadianKitty!

Sincerely,
Binakin
