To the residents of Ark City and all of the wonderful inhabitants of Ark: today is a day of historic proportions. Today is a day that, I believe, will never be topped so long as this beautiful island exists. I am here to announce that, with the help of the successful funding from thousands of Ark residents, we have genetically reconstructed a full, living Calla creature from the mysterious Feather that once puzzled us.
Today is not only a day where we can marvel at nature's wonders, but a day where we commemorate the gift of science and its power. Science is not simply an understanding of the world around us. Science is a tool we can use to advance good. However, we must recognize that science can also be abused and that we may overstep our bounds. The good that we advance with science today is the Calla: a creature that will add to Ark's biodiversity and human enjoyment.
For those of you who do not know, on November 11, 2009, the Science and Research Center discovered a mysterious Feather we believed may be linked to the Calla. After 500 million EC in graciously-given funding, we purchased the appropriate equipment to analyze this feather. Thankfully, our hunch was correct. Contained within the Feather are chromosomes and DNA that are extremely similar to both eagles and horses. After extracting this DNA from the feather and injecting this DNA into a living animal cell, it grew and grew into a full Calla that The Archives told us existed.
Calla are a majestic cross between an eagle and a horse. They are able to soar high to dangerous elevations; elevations where humans would normally die due to the scarcity of oxygen. Not only can they fly and transport humans by air from their eagle heritage, but they pack an extremely dangerous punch with their back hooves if an attack occurs. Calla are loyal only to the first human it lays its sight on.
The Science and Research Center have made 5 functional Calla. More can, and will, be made. This process, naturally, is extremely costly and expensive. Only the most privileged of Ark citizens will be able to afford to own a Calla.
Join us, Thursday, May 27, at 5:00 pm ECT for the release of the first Calla into the wild. You will see it in all of its splendor. After the release, Calla will be available for purchase at the Science and Research Center (for EC).
This Feather is magnificent. It's the Feather that changed it all.
(not a Cash Shop item, available for EC)

Dark Castle in stock! Someone go get it! Only one left!

It's really nice that the Calla will be bought with EC. Totally unfair if it was real cash. 😋

The Terms of Service defines spamming as "repeatedly posting the same message". It doesn't say that posting something once is illegal.
I just sent Ian a ticket about what's spamming and what's not. Hopefully we'll find out soon.

sunshine4562 • 21 May 2010, 10:35 PM
I don't like Facebook,Myspace or Twitter.
Orderedchaos • 21 May 2010, 10:37 PM
I agree emerald. But anonymity does tend to bring out the worst/dumb in people. For example 4chan, specifically /b/.
dragon_lvr_4_life • 21 May 2010, 10:41 PM
@sunshine: now I'm glad I'm not allowed to register on them. XP
Orderedchaos • 21 May 2010, 10:44 PM
Facebook wasn't bad back in the day. Back when you could only get an account by being in college and having a college email address.
snowyball • 21 May 2010, 10:44 PM
What should I name my Calla?
sunshine4562 • 21 May 2010, 10:45 PM
The only thing im spending my EC on is Tim. But im going to try & feed my eggs/creatures everyday so i don't spend that much on tim.
dragon_lvr_4_life • 21 May 2010, 10:46 PM
@snowyball: I'm going to most likely name mine Starfall. 😸
sunshine4562 • 21 May 2010, 10:46 PM
@Ordered: Yeah, I actually used to have one then i deleted it because i figured it was pointless & it bugged me because it would always--
sunshine4562 • 21 May 2010, 10:47 PM
mess up & be all weird.
dragon_lvr_4_life • 21 May 2010, 10:48 PM
Hy, don't you think that on May 27th with the calla the new site version will be released! 😃

lynncrow • 21 May 2010, 11:04 PM
it's not a cash shop egg...you have to buy it with EC ^^
Orderedchaos • 21 May 2010, 11:06 PM
@dewpaw They aren't going to be cash shop eggs. It clearly says that you can buy them with EC in the S&RC;. Not in the Cash Shop with CC.
stellalunagirl • 21 May 2010, 11:06 PM
if anyone wants me to put up their feeds list on my profile post on my profile ^^ but you have to do the same with my list
stellalunagirl • 21 May 2010, 11:07 PM

dewpaw • 21 May 2010, 11:08 PM
Ohhhhhh. I thought that they meant Egg Cash.*Goes and hides behind a chair in embarrassment*
lynncrow • 21 May 2010, 11:09 PM

dewpaw • 21 May 2010, 11:12 PM
