Is Eggcavity dead?

Haven't been able to go to Eggcavity for several days.

@lbowe_elbow (sorry for the ping but you seem to be the mod of the site?)


Edit: it's been months since the site was up. Changed the title.

Still not working and it's been months. Is eggcavity dead?

Has anyone been able to get on the site from the time frame of first post till now(23 of August till November 8)?

Can someone ping the mods for the site? Was curious because I use the site a lot.

@pet_cemetery
There was a hosting issue with eggcavity several months ago. Unfortunately, due to this issue, all users' data has been lost. Accounts, wish lists, etc. :-( I'm not sure of its current state or if the site will be created again. But for now, it's gone.

Aww... That bites. Hopefully they will be able to bring it back.



Wish we could get word from one of the moderators

You can still access it through the wayback-machine. But you cannot do much with the archived version, you can still use the level calculator and the creature viewer.

The downside of the creature viewer is the last archive was made in March of 2024. So you can only view creatures/travels/trinkets from that year and earlier. (it takes a while to load the items onto the creature)

@poptart

Mostly used it to preview travels on different pets at different stages and to keep track of my WL.

@pet_cemetery

At least you can somewhat preview the travels of the different pets and stages if you use the Wayback machine. It is definitely unfortunate that Wishlists is gone.

edit: Had to check the rules to make sure sharing links was okay

offtopic:
I am surprised EggCave does not implement a Wishlist or Creature viewer option, it would be a quality-of-life update, especially with galleries coming.

@pet_cemetery @poptarts
You reminded me, I actually made a tutorial a year ago on how to use the WayBack Machine for travel previews. XD
