Trade Center is now OPEN to beta testers!

January 17, 2010 at 3:46 PM

Hello everybody,

If you sent a message to @eggcave on Twitter, you're registered to be a beta tester for our brand new Trade Center (it will appear on the Ark City map soon, but for now, use this link)! If you're not a beta tester, don't worry -- the Trade Center will be released publicly soon.

Give it a go! Please report any bugs via the Contact form.

We're excited for the Trade Center! It will be released publicly in a couple of days!

UPDATE: We've fixed the evil blank page when accepting an offer. It works now! Sorry about that (it was a stupid mistake). :P

OMG YES!!! πŸ˜ƒ *goes to test it*

xsoappp • 17 Jan 2010, 4:02 PM

Ohyes. Can't wait for it to open. >w<

mellyottl • 17 Jan 2010, 4:41 PM

Most eggs have no trades up XD Also can you feed Sylph? She only needs 10 more feeds!

xsoappp • 17 Jan 2010, 4:42 PM

Suprisingly, there aren't a lot of comments on this entry. o__o I was expecting a flood of comments. Maybe people haven't looked at it yet;

dionaea • 17 Jan 2010, 4:42 PM

OMG, it's open! πŸ˜ƒ Is it like only a trading center or can you transfer pets as well (I mean giving someone a pet without getting anything)

dionaea • 17 Jan 2010, 4:43 PM

I've been wondering about this for like forever o.o

dionaea • 17 Jan 2010, 4:46 PM

Ok, thanks, in that case I'll hold on to some of my hatching center pets, they can be abandoned after and I'll just ask the people who are

dionaea • 17 Jan 2010, 4:47 PM

getting pets from me to adopt a badly named Crabbert or Salaslyke and trade that to me πŸ˜ƒ

auraboros • 17 Jan 2010, 4:53 PM

😱 Yay!! πŸ˜ƒ

thursdays_dove • 17 Jan 2010, 4:54 PM

Oops, I didn't get to it right away, I had to do something. I'm gonna ask Pachi89 now! nn;

cheesy_morgan • 17 Jan 2010, 4:54 PM

XD I obviously did something wrong on Twitter.

thursdays_dove • 17 Jan 2010, 4:55 PM

@dionaea - That's what I'm going to do too! Only I'm going to ask people to adopt any of the cats to use for trades 😊 *high five!*

dionaea • 17 Jan 2010, 4:57 PM

So has anyone traded anything yet 😱 Me soo curious 😸

thursdays_dove • 17 Jan 2010, 4:58 PM

Pachi89 and I are working on it right now. We'll let you guys know ASAP! πŸ˜ƒ

dionaea • 17 Jan 2010, 5:00 PM

@ thursdays_dove: *high fives* I guess in this case the cattery and the hatching center are making our lives a lot easier πŸ˜ƒ

dionaea • 17 Jan 2010, 5:02 PM

Wow I should really refresh next time I post something, all my comments are "behind" XD It is kind of funny though πŸ˜ƒ *refreshes and posts*

gemstone • 17 Jan 2010, 5:04 PM

Um, hi. I know this is off-topic, but will somebody please feed my eggs? They keep dying, but I feed them everyday!

thursdays_dove • 17 Jan 2010, 5:05 PM

UPDATE: Can't do it if you have 100 eggs or more. Someone else is going to have to test it. :/

thursdays_dove • 17 Jan 2010, 5:07 PM

Ian, would it be possible to send eggs/creatures instead of having to trade? I'm holding so many that are all waiting for a safe transfer.

thursdays_dove • 17 Jan 2010, 5:08 PM

And that means that I have over 100 eggs total that I can't get rid of in order to use the trading center.

thursdays_dove • 17 Jan 2010, 5:10 PM

I can talk to the people adopting my eggs, but I don't know if they'll be willing to risk the adoption center, especially since it's so-

thursdays_dove • 17 Jan 2010, 5:10 PM

-flooded right now. It's very high risk!

dionaea • 17 Jan 2010, 5:21 PM

I agree, or just make trading possible if you have over 100 eggs as well, it's not like we are getting more eggs by trading...

ginna3525 • 17 Jan 2010, 5:21 PM

well,sure Ian resolve this soon thursdays_dove,it have to let the user whit 100 or more eggs to use the trading

thursdays_dove • 17 Jan 2010, 5:25 PM

Yeah I'm just sad because I can't actually beta test right now because I have too many eggs ☹️

thursdays_dove • 17 Jan 2010, 5:26 PM

And I mean, I feel like in a way I'm being encouraged to abandon eggs. You can steal 10 eggs per day, but only abandon 3, but you get so-

thursdays_dove • 17 Jan 2010, 5:27 PM

-many unwanted eggs when trying to get new eggs, so your cove quickly fills up with extra eggs, and yet you can't just send them off, you-

thursdays_dove • 17 Jan 2010, 5:27 PM

-have to trade and thus your cove remains at the same amount of eggs, or more if they offer more. I know there are a lot of things being-

thursdays_dove • 17 Jan 2010, 5:28 PM

-worked on for this site right now, and I'm not really complaining, just making observations. I hope being able to trade regardless of how-

thursdays_dove • 17 Jan 2010, 5:29 PM

-many eggs you have is implemented eventually. Or just being able to send eggs. Either way, someone else report on the trading center! πŸ˜ƒ

thursdays_dove • 17 Jan 2010, 5:33 PM

That would be really useful! It'd cut back immensely on abandoned eggs and overcrowded coves. I'm confident that Ian is working on it 😊

ginna3525 • 17 Jan 2010, 5:34 PM

well just have to wait to someone report on the trading center. or make our coves for more capacities?

thursdays_dove • 17 Jan 2010, 5:35 PM

Well, I'm patient, so for now I'll let everyone else do all the work. >> xD Back to feedbacks for me! Good luck, guys!

dragonkeeper • 17 Jan 2010, 6:00 PM

ill we can do right now and wait and see for those that have lots of eggs waitinfg for the trading post too open

justbeingme • 17 Jan 2010, 6:02 PM

justbeingme • 17 Jan 2010, 6:04 PM

oh well it will be nice to have anyway's thanks ianπŸ˜ƒ

asa • 17 Jan 2010, 6:13 PM

Worked. I'm trading a female swornt.

xsoappp • 17 Jan 2010, 6:32 PM

Do you HAVE to trade an egg for an egg or can you just send an egg without getting anything back? :x This is confusing. ;sobs

mellyottl • 17 Jan 2010, 6:38 PM

And you can trade 1 for 5? or it's a one for one thing?

mellyottl • 17 Jan 2010, 6:44 PM

Yep to 1 to 1 or 5 to 1?

mellyottl • 17 Jan 2010, 6:52 PM

mellyottl • 17 Jan 2010, 7:26 PM

mellyottl • 17 Jan 2010, 7:49 PM

joy • 17 Jan 2010, 7:59 PM

Wow; it looks great so far. I'll have to give it a try. Wonder if other people signed up for the beta that I need to give eggs to. 😊

joy • 17 Jan 2010, 8:26 PM

I just made 3 eggs for the testing. A Garguaith, Mekii, and Diablos. Can someone offer anything on them to see if the trade is working well?

mellyottl • 17 Jan 2010, 8:29 PM

sure joy, it didn't work for me and pachi though

xsoappp • 17 Jan 2010, 8:31 PM

I'm still a bit bummed that you actually have to trade an egg for an egg. o__e Oh well. At least it came out. 8D

mellyottl • 17 Jan 2010, 8:35 PM
