I whine about CC - again :P

anori • 5 October 2011 at 11:55 AM

@silverserpent
I think 90 % users are in the same situation and any newbie also will and If nothing changes site will choke itself without people - because all that cannot afford it will leave and 10 % that remain wont really stand for long.
But I don't believe in it because I saw few sites that overcome problems like that and @Ian always told us that he was not making this CC only.
So I have hope - however I totally understand your fears and believe me not only you would quit If something like this happened - eggcave CC only brrr.

snowbell • 5 October 2011 at 12:01 PM

@silverserpent I really think @Ian should do a CC creature raffle for us users that can't afford to spend their hard-earned money on a creature.

@anori Yes, It's true that without CC Egg Cave just wouldn't be Egg Cave any longer... ☹️

silverserpent • 5 October 2011 at 12:03 PM

@anori

I really hope you're right because right now there are so many screams for freezes and CC eggs in the trading forum but most of them only get bumps in return.
The issue with "junk eggs" weren't exactly solved by stars which is _another_ feature you can buy with CC so it's not even really rare and the Marlay hype didn't last very long. I feel anxious about the future. 😋

(And feels like a bird of doom, singing pure misery. 8P

@snowbell
That would be nice. Or a way to buy them with normal EC instead. They could be _very_ expensive that way but then I'd at least feed like crazy instead of moping about trades not working out.

musicgurl333 • 5 October 2011 at 12:15 PM

I think it would be better if they released one CC creature a month, instead of three. Then it wouldn't cost as much to collect them all, and people would be more likely to buy duplicates to trade. Plus there would still be money coming in from freezes and such.

It would be nice if there was also a monthly LE cave creature as well...or even something at the Science and Research center that you could purchase with EC (like the calla).

@silverserpent

And slowly the kingdom that we built,
On fresh new hope and happy hours,
Comes down with that same sense of guilt,
How could we go so far ourselves?
For just some eggs that cost a lot,
That, traded, can be very rare,
Patience: A virtue not?
Well not for us, thats what we fear.

dustypinkdragon • 5 October 2011 at 12:52 PM

I do agree with the CC...it seems only a regular cave egg comes out once in awhile or three come out at once for a long time.

Then the CC eggs are every month for and there are 3 of them at 500 cc's which is A LOT of cash.

That is basically $27.00 per month for me being Canadian...funny thing is, I like to help others and also get some creatures I don't have. So to do this, I do freezes or buy extra CC creatures, again costing more money. (no i am not a rich one 😉 ) Hubby has his hobby, I have mine 😋

It would be nice to see some LE creatures added that can be bought with EC...the Calla shouldn't be the only critter 😉

Deleted • 5 October 2011 at 1:57 PM

@silverserpent I agree it's getting harder, but I'm not complaining about the price or anything, it's just when it was only a few some of egg cavers, not as many cave le's were stolen, therefore, upping their rarity. Nowadays, with more egg cavers in the community, more and more cave egg le's are stolen. to make it even worse, people now take like a bajillion of the cave le's, hoping to trade them for mucho money cc's. which is not the case at all.

@whimsical

Awesome poem. x)

whimsical • 5 October 2011 at 2:31 PM

@silverserpent Thank you. As my status suggests, I'm on a bit of a poetry spree.

smilies • 5 October 2011 at 2:49 PM

I don't like three a month. How many users now have every egg? *Not many*
I'll just decide which I like best and swap my CC eggs for them that I have lots of or like less 😋 I passes the dream cove barrier LOOONG ago when I got my first onny, and went into the dead and went to heaven barrier when I got Jadore X) so I'm happy, and will pick up Spookcats occasionally X)

cqpkytty • 5 October 2011 at 6:22 PM

@silverserpent
Which is your favorite Halloween CC?
And would you trade me your Leyma/Hallowolf/both for it?
I wanna help! 😃

jazzyleia • 5 October 2011 at 6:24 PM

@sliverserpent

Oh please don't feel like that! Yes we understand CC can't be gotten by everyone, but that doesn't mean you need to feel like that. I get all my special creatures from my friends and very nice people like cqpkytty

lizardfeather • 5 October 2011 at 9:24 PM

@cqpkytty You only owe me one freeze if I remember correctly 😸

cqpkytty • 5 October 2011 at 9:28 PM

@lizardfeather
OK!

@silverserpent
Again, I can offer 1 October CC of your choice for your Leyma/Hallowolf/both.
Could you please let me know the details?

silverserpent • 5 October 2011 at 9:30 PM

@cqpkytty
Sorry I'm slow to respond here, I must have missed the first notification. 😱
I would very much like a Vampyr. Would a Leyma be OK? 😊

cqpkytty • 5 October 2011 at 9:31 PM

@silverserpent
Sure! I'm on it.

silverserpent • 5 October 2011 at 9:32 PM

@cqpkytty ❤️ to you! ❤️

bumblebee13_7 • 5 October 2011 at 9:32 PM

I agree with all you guys. I used to try to collect all creatures, but I don't have CC, so I've kind of given up on that.

cqpkytty • 5 October 2011 at 9:33 PM

@silverserpent

Money can be the source of thriving.

But it can also be the source of a deep downfall.

vampire666 • 5 October 2011 at 9:41 PM

@silverserpent - I don't have any real life friends on EggCave to help w/ buying CC. So far I've been able to convince my parents to put money on my account, but I don't know how long I can keep it up. I originally joined EggCave to have fun, but it has turned into an economic game. :/

lizardfeather • 5 October 2011 at 9:44 PM

Yup learn your economy skills on eggcave xD I'm sure there's more creative ways to generate money for the site but I don't know what >.<"

silverserpent • 5 October 2011 at 9:49 PM

@bumblebee13_7
I went from "I want to collect all eggs there is! 😃" to "Maybe only all LE there is... 😱" and then eventually I gave up.
It's too hard to get them all if you must trade for them. However, these last months I've been in love with all new CCs. Stupid brain for liking cute things. 8O

@balletninja Very well spoken.

celeste • 5 October 2011 at 9:52 PM

@silverserpent
Don't quit! A user has already succumbed to CC! @scorch_cloud222! No! Don't quit! We need normal users here! Normal! I say! NORMAL!!!!

Ok, sorry for overeacting. But it's the sad truth.

"Money is good, but where does it get you?"

carnatate • 5 October 2011 at 9:53 PM

agreed I spent 15$ in CC,just for 2 stars and 3 CC creatures ☹️

balletninja • 5 October 2011 at 9:54 PM

@silverserpent Maybe I have been in one of those condescending moods lately. I should go meditate, it would be interesting to see what my mind would come up with. I am also kinda depressed over something right now, maybe it would help?

silverserpent • 5 October 2011 at 9:58 PM

@celeste
I won't quit that easily. Who would care for my creatures? They would all die. Horrible thought. After all the trouble I went trough to get them all without a single CC. O.O;

@vampire666
I feel for you. :/
If we were to think positive here we could always see it as free lessons in economy, like @lizardfeather wrote. xD

vampire666 • 5 October 2011 at 10:00 PM

@silverserpent - Yeah, and apprently I need it. I'm terrible at trading. XP

silverserpent • 5 October 2011 at 10:05 PM

@carnatate
Isn't 3 eggs + 2 stars = $17? 😉

@balletninja
Well, being depressed does seem to help ones creative side sometimes... If that is what you meant. 8)

@vampire666
I don't know if I'm very good at it. I'm just stubborn and don't give up, but it all depends on me having nothing else to do than to hang around the computer all day and stalk the trade center and haunt people's profiles. It's hard work. (And it's 4 am in my country by now.) 8)

carnatate • 5 October 2011 at 10:07 PM

no I bought 5$=500 CC then a 10$=1,000 CC I have 100 CC left
