The day has finally arrived... THE TRADE CENTER IS NOW OPEN to the general public. We hope that this assists you in trading and swapping creatures SAFELY. :) We know it will!

Although the Trade Center has went through extensive testing, please submit any bugs you may find via the Contact form. We appreciate it! :)

The Frequently Asked Questions page has been updated with all of the information you need to know regarding the Trade Center. We're going to redo the page altogether soon, but here's what you need to know:

What is the Trade Center? Where is it located?

The Trade Center is where Ark citizens can trade their creatures. It is located in the northeast part of Ark City, behind the Town Hall and Adoption Center.

How many creatures can I trade at a time? How many can I offer?

You can trade as many creatures as you'd like. However, each trade lot can only contain 5 creatures. Also, each offer can only contain 5 creatures.

Not all of my creatures are being shown on the "Create New Trade" page!

That is because that creature is either in one of your other lots or you've offered it on another lot. Each creature can only be in one lot at a time.

What's up with this "exceeding 100 creatures" message? What does it mean?

Each user on Egg Cave can only have 100 creatures at any given time. This rule has been in place since of the beginning of the site (it's nothing new).

If you're offering on a lot and receive this message, you need to change how many eggs you're offering. If you have 100 creatures and lot you're offering on a lot that contains 5 eggs, you need to offer 5 eggs to stay within the bounds of the "100 Creatures Rule." If you had 100 eggs and offered only 4 creatures on a 5-creature lot, in the case that your offer would be accepted, the resulting amount of creatures you would own would be 101!

If you're trying to accept an offer and receive this message, you simply cannot accept offer because of the number of creatures you currently own. To solve this, you need to contact the "buyer" asking him or her to adjust their offer. Egg Cave does not support the abandonment of creatures to maintain this rule.

Do backgrounds transfer with creatures that are traded?

Yes.

What happens if the creature I am trading currently has services booked at Tim's Food Shoppe?

The services will continue and be transferred to the new owner of your creature.

Can creatures die if they are being traded?

Yes. If they die, they will simply be removed from your trade lot or offer automatically. It is important to feed all of your creatures daily!

Do my creatures' views increase for being in the Trade Center?

No.

How long can my trade be up?

Thirty days. If you do not accept any offers within 30 days, your trade will be automatically closed.

NOTE TO BETA TESTERS : All trade lots and offers have been cleared from the Trade Center as there was a major bug. ;D

ENJOY!

I'm lucky that I found my Balrog in the adoption centre, but I agree with others; if it comes to the trading centre, is should be expensive.

Also, I would love it if those of us that has donated EC, gets a Calla for free. But I thinks it's best if there is a limit, so that you...

nyxulfr • 30 Jan 2010, 10:01 AM

..don't donate only 1 EC and gets a Calla. Would not be fair to others... 😋

silverserpent • 30 Jan 2010, 10:32 AM

Ahh, poor Calla, still so far from being genetically reconstructed. I just made a 50k donation and it's like a drop in the sea. *sigh* 😋

sparklefox • 30 Jan 2010, 10:49 AM

Years,that is like forever! 😱 ☚ī¸

silverserpent • 30 Jan 2010, 10:58 AM

@sparklefox On the Internet years indeed seem like forever. xD

frescotux1o1 • 30 Jan 2010, 11:02 AM

Yup, I agree with you.

silverserpent • 30 Jan 2010, 11:02 AM

Question: Why did the Calla become extinct to begin with? The Terron is still around, is it not? Did the Terron kill the Calla or what? 😋

sparklefox • 30 Jan 2010, 11:04 AM

@silverserpent No-one knows what happened to the Calla.

silverserpent • 30 Jan 2010, 11:20 AM

I see. Then my theory will be that the Terrons killed the Callas. Or that the citizens of Ark ate them all. 😸

asa • 30 Jan 2010, 11:42 AM

nyxulfr • 30 Jan 2010, 12:35 PM

Here in Sweden, you can buy slices of meat from horse to put on your bread. NOT from any black market. 😋

Horse meat is actually really good, it's a very dark meat. And it's totally legal here in Sweden. I didn't know it was something unusual. 😋

miomar • 31 Jan 2010, 2:47 AM
