The adoption center is HERE!

September 26, 2009 at 10:40 AM

After a much anticipated update -- IT'S FINALLY HERE! Ark City now has an adoption center. Say hello to Linda the Alkub! She's a kind-hearted soul that likes to find abandoned creatures a home; she's running the Adoption Center.

Hello there! You are welcome at the Adoption Center.


Several of you have noticed that something like 100 EC has appeared in the top user bar. You guessed correctly; that is Egg Cave's new currency called Egg Coins. As of right now, you can obtain EC by feeding your eggs and others eggs. If you want to abandon your creature, it'll cost you a hefty 3,000 EC.

A couple of users have expressed their concern with the introduction of a currency. Some worry that some day the Egg Cave economy will become too user-driven, giving certain users too large of an advantage over others (more eggs, more power, more items, etc). Rest assured that we're going to keep a tight reign on the Egg Cave economy to ensure that the game is fair for everybody, including our newer players.

The FAQ page will be updated with information on the latest features soon. Stay tuned for a massive new species release next week. We also have fun things planned for an October bash, including a new species that will only be obtainable during the bash! You won't want to miss it.

I agree. I have 6k already. I just need to start feeding the new people who hoard eggs. xD

luzal • 26 Sep 2009, 11:04 AM

One question, the moment an egg is left in the ?pound? does is appear in the adoption agency instantly?

Ian • 26 Sep 2009, 11:14 AM

There has to be at least 3 in the pound in order for them to display anything.

naleap • 26 Sep 2009, 11:30 AM

So, you dont need EC no adopt that egg?

luzal • 26 Sep 2009, 11:32 AM

amers • 26 Sep 2009, 11:40 AM

This is awesome! Thanks, Ian. I'm glad this will give people incentive to fed.

klemicat • 26 Sep 2009, 11:41 AM

Good idea having no fee to adopt, but a fee to abandon, I s'pose...yeah. But now we need a transfer option! Great to see it finally up Ian.

klemicat • 26 Sep 2009, 11:46 AM

Yeah, I agree with Amers...now my eggs will hatch quicker! Yay. I am saving all the egg names in my head until October, with the special new

kopakasheild • 26 Sep 2009, 11:46 AM

Woo! Thanks Ian. I plan on dominating the EC economy since I couldn't do that with the Neo economy. Only 18.1k so far though.

klemicat • 26 Sep 2009, 11:47 AM

species comes. I am also saving my EC! *Worships Ian*

klemicat • 26 Sep 2009, 11:48 AM

Oh and, will you soon get a pet Alkub called Linda? *Stares menacingly*

kopakasheild • 26 Sep 2009, 11:55 AM

Will there ever be a pet that you have to buy with EC? If so then cool!

valiant_link • 26 Sep 2009, 1:23 PM

This is Awesome! I got this crabbert that no one wanted

vixibelle • 26 Sep 2009, 1:25 PM

Thanks for the adoption center!!! One thing I don't like, though, is that you can only abandon one egg/day. If you have enough coins...

vixibelle • 26 Sep 2009, 1:26 PM

...to abandon 10 eggs, why does there need to be a daily limit?

keyong97 • 26 Sep 2009, 1:37 PM

YYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYy

xepha • 26 Sep 2009, 1:54 PM

secillia • 26 Sep 2009, 2:57 PM

YES! i've reached my goal for today: 105,003 EC !!!! 😃 😃 😃 😃 im rich! This is awesome ian thank u sooo much!

joy • 26 Sep 2009, 4:23 PM

Suggestion: Top 25 Richest people on the leaderboards? 😊 It would change each month, so it would only count how much you earned that month.

dexterr67 • 26 Sep 2009, 4:30 PM

Pay for abandoning eggs? You are joking right? I don't know what i get and i must pay to abandon trash? Geez that's an idiot idea. Just like

kopakasheild • 26 Sep 2009, 5:25 PM

smartie2742 • 26 Sep 2009, 5:32 PM

YAY!! Now I can start getting rid of eggs! And EC is awesome! Now theres more reason to feed other eggs! 😊

smartie2742 • 26 Sep 2009, 5:33 PM

Oh, and why do you get more money for feeding some eggs, but less for others?

luna • 26 Sep 2009, 5:38 PM

I like it 😃 you make me happy with the adoption center feature 😊

jitteuh • 26 Sep 2009, 5:46 PM

OH no but i'm away in octobre!! I want that new species!! 😱😱😱

luna • 26 Sep 2009, 5:57 PM

I'm also excited to see what the new creature is - I'm voting for a Calla 😃

kopakasheild • 26 Sep 2009, 6:05 PM

I wish it was possible to get a billion EC's. Too bad there aren't enough eggs to be able to do that for days. D:

thunderbug9000 • 26 Sep 2009, 7:02 PM
