A Message from Cathy

Hello! This is Cathy, lead researcher and creature scientist on Ark.

The Science and Research Center in Ark City has bought out today's Site Blog post to advertise our ongoing Imovsa research fund. We cannot finish this creature and make it available to Arkians like yourself until we reach our goal.

We understand that this round of funding has been very ambitious but we think the people of Ark are generous enough to propel us forward. Will you consider partnering with us?

Thank you,

Cathy

opalspirit- • 10 May 2016, 10:12 AM

Yep, I'm donating. 😊

mrsgiggles • 10 May 2016, 10:25 AM

Dear Cathy: no.

christened_moon • 10 May 2016, 10:30 AM

It's really hard to donate a lot when you see how far we all still have to go...I'll donate though.

Man, because of life I totaly forgot about that bunch-of-love. Q)~(Q

I really wish the funding goals weren't so high. I know they don't want someone to just pay for it all in one go, but 250 mil is a lot to

noah • 10 May 2016, 11:26 AM

contribute towards when people have no idea what the creature is going to look like.

noah • 10 May 2016, 11:33 AM

And they then have to pay again for the creature itself when it does get released. Based on the price increments so far, this creature will

noah • 10 May 2016, 11:33 AM

cost a user another 2.5 mil EC.

pooh • 10 May 2016, 12:22 PM

@noah Yep.

pooh • 10 May 2016, 12:23 PM

And I don't like the idea of Imosva.

spelunker • 10 May 2016, 12:34 PM

I donated some, but I just don't care for this particular creature. Sorry.

arcticwonders • 10 May 2016, 12:40 PM

You researchers, always so greedy. If the users want it, they'll donate. Prompting is just making yourself look bad.

Ian • 10 May 2016, 1:26 PM

donated 15m! 😃

Ian • 10 May 2016, 1:27 PM

zomg new stage 😱

iceiceice • 10 May 2016, 1:32 PM

lmfao. SAR be like, "guys, we've been stuck at 25% long enough. Get on it =_=;;"

iceiceice • 10 May 2016, 1:33 PM

I think there should be some reward for donating. I get that the reward is the creature itself, but many people will only donate --

iceiceice • 10 May 2016, 1:33 PM

-- if they like the creature. The research itself is costly, and people probably donate an average of 50K ec a day. The amount of --

iceiceice • 10 May 2016, 1:34 PM

-- people who donate isn't, whether because it is because it's very costly or cause they don't like the creature enough to donate. --

iceiceice • 10 May 2016, 1:35 PM

-- It cost money to donate. And once the research is done, the creature is what, about 1 million EC? It's simply too much and the incentive

iceiceice • 10 May 2016, 1:36 PM

-- to donate is too little. I would say that the people who donate enough should get the creature once the research is completed. --

iceiceice • 10 May 2016, 1:37 PM

-- For example. The Barbat costs 3M ec to buy. If the user donated 3m EC to the research center, then they get the creature. The user --

Ian • 10 May 2016, 1:37 PM

@iceiceice thanks for the suggestion! I've got it down. I think we should have more incentives for donating, yeah.

iceiceice • 10 May 2016, 1:38 PM

-- wouldn't have to buy the creature again (after research is completed). The cost of the creature does not have to be revealed during --

iceiceice • 10 May 2016, 1:39 PM

--- researching. This way users could "guess-donate" how many EC they need to give to get the creature.

iceiceice • 10 May 2016, 1:40 PM

Side note. Cool creature. I really like the design/art. I might get one 😃 The monkey has a super bushy tail o-o could use it as a duster 😋

Ian • 10 May 2016, 1:58 PM

possiegal • 10 May 2016, 2:03 PM

yo Cathy lets make a deal ill donate (i dont have much EC so it might be small) and you make the last stage look really good got it?

metaphor • 10 May 2016, 2:29 PM

Totally forgot about this! I actually think the art for this creature is really stunning, even if it's not my preference. 😊

Ian • 10 May 2016, 2:53 PM

@metaphor so glad you like it!

cosmia • 10 May 2016, 3:07 PM

Hmm, seems like the Imovsa lost an arm. o-o

dragonnn • 10 May 2016, 5:17 PM
