Players who did not open their park over the last two days will likely have no Egg History, as the fix did not address their park. In addition, there could be other reasons that contributed to no or partial restoration.

Our team was working hard in the past few days, and we were able to find a fair solution for the situation with the Runic Breeding Caves.
- All claims will be restored - if you have opened 5 Caves and you have not claimed a dragon of any of them, you will have 5 available claims.
- The Egg History will be completely restored - you will be able to choose from all the dragons that have been bred from the beginning of the event.
- You can claim the dragons in your Gifts and keep them safe in your park.
Please let us know if you have any questions! We do apologize for the inconvenience!

Thank you! This is great! I am now going to purchase runestones for my parks. So glad that we still have more than a week to use them. And don’t forget the one that was gifted yesterday too! 😊

For people who spent real money activating caves and had their timers reduced taking a break as suggested, I totally get where they are coming from. They need to do more than just letting you keep the gifted eggs, since they are worthless to most (myself included). I think fair compensation would be an additional rune or a triple day. More so the former since people might have already activated the triple cave.

We have made these and other suggestions for possible compensation. But we don’t know what Deca will decide. Right now, they’re working on the Egg History bug. I have emphasised the compensation issue for those who purchased Runestones, and posted about it several times on this thread. After the bug is fully resolved, Deca may discuss compensation. Sorry, there’s no additional info at this time.

I’m glad the egg history was restored. I’d accidentally clicked to complete a breed and got a Mesmerus, and that accidental egg during the glitch is there with my other eggs. I can’t imagine the stress the poor staff at Deca went through to resolve the glitch. I forgot to redeem my caves once before they went away, was thinking about the end of time to redeem event currency which is not the same as the end of the event, so I was pretty philosophical about this glitch anyway, been there done that. Remember back when Monolith dragons were new and the game went through some glitch where you had to play super-slow or the game would crash, and it lasted about a month before Backflip found the source of the glitch and fixed it? This was less annoying than that to me. Kudos to Deca for fixing this bug quickly!

Keeping the dragons they sent us is nice, but the reality is it was likely harder for them to remove them than to allow us to keep them and I'm sure they wanted to get the fix out as quickly as possible.
I know I received 3 useless hybrid dragons that I already owned, but some could get very lucky just depending on what was picked. I do wish their auto picking algorithms would pick better, there were many choices where I wouldn't have gotten a duplicate and if I ever run into a situation where I can't pick before the end of an event, I'd feel better knowing it is at least getting me something 'new' when possible.
This isn't really compensation, given the above. We lost a couple days of breeding in the RBC for event currency, needed dragons, and some lost RBC time that they either bought or used the free Runestones. I was a little surprised Bumi was removed today, that seemed like a quick and easy little thing to help some players. Their focus needs to be on ensuring all the problems with the caves have been fixed, and looking into problems with the RBC reported by players over the next day or so. Hopefully we hear something soon, but honestly it should not be an 'if', but a 'when'.

We have three family parks that need the egg history restored.

I think I got the best of both worlds with this bug tbh - I kinda kept using using the RBCs so got a few more 100s than I otherwise would, two of the four random claims I want (sorry, rifted Flickerflame and SOly), and I got to keep all the egg history from during the bug. The only thing is I stopped tracking so I’ll have to do a full comparison to work out where to go next

Thank you everybody. I’ve given your Friend IDs to Deca. It’s after hours for them right now, but they’ll likely look at your park tomorrow. Cheers!

I do like the idea of the RBC automatic gift being set to give you new dragons. It could go new dragon > if no new dragons available, twin-traited dragons > twin dragons. They might go into further specification like whether or not the dragon is limited but honestly just having the automatic gifts be in that order would be a great idea.

I really like this idea too, as in case something like this pops up again, the cave would prioritize dragons whicha are yet to be owned.
Here's my idea for a RBC priority list:
Choose at random from all unowned dragons the player breeds in the RBC.
If no dragons are unowned, choose at random a twin dragon in which the player does not already have a twin of.
If all bred dragons are twins, choose at random a (twin) rift dragon in which the player does not already have a Rift variant of (twins are NOT factored here).
If the player already has every dragon with a rift trait, follow standard protocol and pick at random from the pool.
IF the cave was not used at all during the course of the event, randomly give the player a Motley Dragon or Dargon Dragon chosen at random.
The Original One is in all things. The Original One is nowhere at all. From all creations, over all creations, does Arceus watch over all.
Just my two cents... I might be in the minority here, but after all the... rant-y-ness? can't think of a better word... of the subreddit I wanna get it off my chest.
Compensation-wise, the main issues, from what I can see, are people who had to buy Bumi because their Pixie and Flowerhop dragons were in an RBC, because they might have managed to breed it otherwise (hetchy's case being an example of this), and the people who bought Runestones, because real money is involved.
I don't think we need a massive amount of compensation if we aren't in the above categories. Of coursesomething would be nice, but all I see on the subreddit are people saying 'Thanks... but we need more!', sometimes without the 'Thanks'. Here are the reasons why I feel this way...
1. Two days is not a long time of breeding, even with the timings quartered. I doubt that any of us would have gotten more than one - at the most two - dragons we wanted in the last two days if we'd been breeding in RBCs. Mostly because we're so far into the event now; unless they've had horrible luck the whole event, a player will have managed to get some dragons they wanted, in RBCs or otherwise. The dragons we wanted to breed have been decreasing. I don't know if others follow this, but I always try for the dragons with the highest chance fast, hence why I averaged a little more than one dragon per day for the first two weeks of the event. Since then, it's pretty much just been the limiteds, so a little more than one dragon per week. That's a huge difference. 2. At the very, very most, we would have gotten probably between 1k and 2k EC from RBCs in the last two days (taking into consideration the double cave) because we're at a point now that 100 EC bonuses are quite rare since a lot of the permanent hybrids have been gotten. That's definitely a fairly considerable amount for very new players... but it's really not much in the grand scheme of this whole event for most players, especially since we did get the 100 EC bonuses at the start of the event. In my small parks, that I don't bother collecting much EC from (it's basically just Name that Egg since it's fun, and then breeding Rainbows in the RBCs), I already have far more EC than I could possibly need even in my main park. So I don't think EC is a problem here since it's just such a small amount that we've lost. Not to mention that those who were using RBCs in the last two days got the 100 EC bonuses all over again, so they've actually gotten a gain out of this. 3. We got our egg history back. Those who didn't can reach out to support. None of our RBC claims were lost and even if on the off chance they had been, DECA's support is the best. So there is no issue here from what I can see. In fact, we've done better out of it because they kept the random claims, either out of efficiency as someone suggested or because they chose to leave them there as compensation (or a bit of both). Either we got dragons we wanted or as someone pointed out earlier, we have dragons ready for the donations board.
I might have missed something that needs to be addressed, but the TL;DR of my apparent essay is that I feel some people, particularly from the replies to poor VibeLily's posts on the subreddit, are over-reacting. Just a little. I 100% understand the frustration, but I needed to rant a little.
Side note and confession: I KNOW I over-reacted during Mesmerus and I'm ashamed of it. I still stand by the opinion that that was different, because people in my position had to pay 21k EC for Mesmer, the decos, and evolving Mesmer. 21k EC is a lot more than 2k EC and the gift didn't make up for it since we had to buy two Mesmers. Despite that, we could have waited till next year, so unlike this bug it was our choice to lose that EC. And for me personally, I definitely could have toned it down, not a little, a lot. But I don't think this bug is as bad, besides the two categories I named at the start of the essay this has become. And those two categories (at least the second one) will most likely be addressed. I would say 'hopefully' because I do hope for it, but that implies I doubt it will happen, and I don't.
I definitely hope some compensation is given for those who are in either the Bumi or paid-for RBC categories. I'm in neither of them, since I was lucky enough to breed Bumi earlier on and although I'm strongly considering buying Runestones this event I was always going to save it till a few days before the final week. But for those who are begging for more than we've been given when they aren't in those categories... I don't know. It seems a tiny bit... picky's not the word but I genuinely can't think of the right word. You probably know what I mean but my brain's gone to mush since it's so late where I am.
Maybe the reason why it bugs me is because it reminds me of how unreasonably I reacted during Mesmerus? But I just needed to get this off my chest. Obviously feel free to disagree with me if I'm not being considerate to people's situations.
Is there any way to get rid of the heap of gifted dragons in my social collection during the latest runic cave problem? There's no option to 'clear' them and I don't want to have to collect and hatch them all, taking up precious space in my hatchery!

Unfortunately, you can’t clear them, like you can with twins from the co-op. You have to incubate then sell them. I believe Backflip didn’t add the option to clear event and reward gifts because players could accidentally clear them, then there would be a lot of requests to retrieve erroneously deleted items. But I wish they could be cleared. It is annoying.
