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.

Glad there's no cruel owners abandoning their pets. I tried for hours and couldn't find a single egg.

secillia • 26 Sep 2009, 7:46 PM

YES! i reached my EC goal for today. 202,439 EC ! can you beat that?

axiste • 26 Sep 2009, 7:54 PM

everythings great but i agree with the user who said, what's the point on only abandoning 1egg/day when there's an abandonment fee. D:

axiste • 26 Sep 2009, 7:55 PM

unless of course we have other stuff to spend our money on and just not the adoption center. πŸ˜‰ ---- and dexter, the fee is probably to

axiste • 26 Sep 2009, 7:58 PM

prevent those who hoard eggs & just want a quick route out in getting rid of unwanted eggs. 3kEC isn't hard to obtain. πŸ˜‹

axiste • 26 Sep 2009, 8:01 PM

on 2nd thoughts perhaps a restriction on abandoning pets is good. look @ how messy the pound is on neo 😱 but perhaps increase it to 3/day?

secillia • 26 Sep 2009, 8:36 PM

Top left where it says, Hello and Welcome "your username here"

secillia • 26 Sep 2009, 8:39 PM

Somebody should adopt toilet and rename it... the poor thing! ☹️

cprather • 26 Sep 2009, 8:45 PM

aww poor toilet☹️

xfyrebritex • 26 Sep 2009, 9:09 PM

I hope that we'll have something other than abandoning eggs to spend EC on. ^^ I have over 20k and don't plan on letting go of any eggs. xD

vixibelle • 26 Sep 2009, 10:45 PM

I wish there was a better way of picking up eggs from the cave. I mean, it sucks when you're aiming for one specific type but end up with..

vixibelle • 26 Sep 2009, 10:49 PM

...10 eggs you don't want. I wanna go for Mo and Terron eggs but I iz skeered of all the duplicates. lol

rayray • 27 Sep 2009, 12:53 AM

suggestion:trading centre where you can trade egg for egg ?????

cprather • 27 Sep 2009, 12:57 AM

rayray: thats already an upcoming feature

atmbbwu5 • 27 Sep 2009, 5:00 AM

Great job with the new feature Ian. I can't wait to see whats next.

klemicat • 27 Sep 2009, 5:51 AM

Ian, what's with the message at the Adoption Center? (We should just call it the AC. Pound sounds evil.) But, would you rather we let our

klemicat • 27 Sep 2009, 5:52 AM

eggs die? Honestly? Plus, what abou you can see which eggs you choose, from the 5 ? eggs?

cookie • 27 Sep 2009, 5:58 AM

Gahhh! Can't resist the eggs! I keep adopting them!

cookie • 27 Sep 2009, 7:21 AM

suggestion: an advertisment blog so that we can advertise which pets are up for adoption?

jitteuh • 27 Sep 2009, 9:49 AM

i never gonna get a mo or terron... ☹️ only eggs i already have.

mumbling • 27 Sep 2009, 9:52 AM

I like this 😊 Now I can make space for some prettier eggs and leave all those triples out.

klemicat • 27 Sep 2009, 11:12 AM

Meh. I think I will abandon an egg. Hopefully someone will take it soon! 😊 BTW I am not crazy or evil, I just don't want to have to kill my

klemicat • 27 Sep 2009, 11:12 AM

extra eggs. Go to the adoption center, everyone!

parfaite • 27 Sep 2009, 1:11 PM

Ian, I think nobody will complain anymore about the feeds and clicks because everybody wants their EC to increase so they feed their friends

keyong97 • 27 Sep 2009, 2:04 PM

suggestions: colored pets, forums

keyong97 • 27 Sep 2009, 2:08 PM

suggestion: if forums, icons for hatching and other achievements

qwertyqwerty • 27 Sep 2009, 2:21 PM

I don't like this 'you abandon your egg so you are evil'. I mean this site, unlike others of this kind leaves to us no clue about species of

qwertyqwerty • 27 Sep 2009, 2:23 PM

the egg, so after some time you have a lot of unwanted eggs. it's impossible to keep them all alive, without spending hours exchanging feeds

qwertyqwerty • 27 Sep 2009, 2:24 PM

with other users. if I were evil I would let them die.

jitteuh • 27 Sep 2009, 2:30 PM

Maybe should be a way to not have so many unwanted eggs.

secillia • 27 Sep 2009, 5:35 PM

I have 264,396 EC. I earned 200,000 yesterday and 64,000 today! πŸ˜ƒ

keyong97 • 28 Sep 2009, 7:14 AM

argggg why shadowstar why, why are you so freaking hard to hatch? btw my new mission guys is to save as many eggs from the pound as possible

mumbling • 28 Sep 2009, 11:07 AM

Shadowstar shouldn't be hard to hatch. Just put her into signatures on any forum you're on and put her on your blog/website etc. 😊

dreamerofdreams • 28 Sep 2009, 1:40 PM

Yay!Thanks Ian!This site is AWSOME!Thanks!

dreamerofdreams • 28 Sep 2009, 2:00 PM

Cool!Cant wait for the october Bash!I wonder what the species will be!Only 2 more days!πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜±

jitteuh • 28 Sep 2009, 2:57 PM

omg 2 days!! aaaaaah zuper!πŸ˜ƒ

chatial • 28 Sep 2009, 9:27 PM

Two more dayyys! Also... I love Linda the Alkub. She has so much character ;D

xpaws • 29 Sep 2009, 2:04 AM

i hope the new october egg is the calla

axiste • 29 Sep 2009, 7:11 AM

obtw, can eggs still die? some of mine haven't in a while and i was wondering whether having the AC prevents eggs from dying anymore..? xD

keyong97 • 29 Sep 2009, 7:21 AM

mumbling see, the problem is i dont use forums >.>. which is why its hard, AND I GOT A DRAKOMO EGG YAY.

keyong97 • 29 Sep 2009, 7:23 AM

i hope the new egg is gonna be some freaky cute egg

mumbling • 29 Sep 2009, 1:38 PM

Okay, well... You could also put it on sites like Facebook or other sites or something πŸ˜ƒ You're doing pretty good though 😊

keyong97 • 29 Sep 2009, 3:31 PM

again, I dont have a facebook or anything like that, which is really the problem...

joy • 29 Sep 2009, 5:19 PM

It says '3 name changes per 30 days'. So you have to use up all 3 requests before it starts the 30 day countdown. So use all at once. 😱

Ian • 29 Sep 2009, 7:58 PM

no worries, eggs will be easier to hatch coming soon. πŸ˜ƒ that'll be along with the species update.

jenjen • 30 Sep 2009, 4:48 AM

ohyeah ohyeah!longlive adopttion centre!

klemicat • 30 Sep 2009, 10:26 AM

Oh, thanks for the heads up, Ian! I know, don't complain about hard to hatch eggs, but don't go on any forums/facebook/ect. AND I don't have

klemicat • 30 Sep 2009, 10:27 AM

a heap of time to feed eggs. So sad. *Sniffs* But, go Adoption Center!

vixibelle • 30 Sep 2009, 2:48 PM

*still wishes there was some way to know what I'm picking up from the cave instead of getting a gazillion of the same thing* ☹️

keyong97 • 30 Sep 2009, 6:40 PM

suggestion: what if lets say you had a female and male Yeep could you make them like married and then like every month give you a yeep egg?
