What is DragonCave and why do people play it?

Answer 1

If you are talking about http://dragcave.net, then here's why.

Dragon Cave is a game where you can adopt dragons and try and care for them until they grow up. There are three stages: egg, hatchling and mature. An egg is the first stage, and this is how dragons come in when you take them from the cave (thus, dragon cave). For it to grow into a hatchling, you must accumulate views, unique views and clicks. A combination of these, when there are enough, will hatch the dragon... into a hatchling. For a hatchling to mature, it takes the same method as a egg, with more views/clicks. Finally, when it is mature, you can just collect views and things... because it's awesome for your dragon. =) However, if the hatchling/egg does not reach the required clicks/views by the end of a timespan, it dies. v.v The REAL challenging part of the game is getting all the dragons(this is virtually impossible, as some dragons are already removed from the site, and new ones come on the site every year)

People play it because, well, it is an adoptable sort of game, and you can post it on various forums (tag it on your signature for example), and you might make friends. Also, anyone would want dragons to care and investigate, right?

It's just something cute to do in your spare time. If you don't understand that, then, well, try it for yourself!
