The Trade Center is now open in Ark City!

2010_01_tradecenter.jpg


The day has finally arrived... THE TRADE CENTER IS NOW OPEN to the general public. We hope that this assists you in trading and swapping creatures SAFELY. :) We know it will!

Although the Trade Center has went through extensive testing, please submit any bugs you may find via the Contact form. We appreciate it! :)

The Frequently Asked Questions page has been updated with all of the information you need to know regarding the Trade Center. We're going to redo the page altogether soon, but here's what you need to know:

What is the Trade Center? Where is it located?

The Trade Center is where Ark citizens can trade their creatures. It is located in the northeast part of Ark City, behind the Town Hall and Adoption Center.

How many creatures can I trade at a time? How many can I offer?

You can trade as many creatures as you'd like. However, each trade lot can only contain 5 creatures. Also, each offer can only contain 5 creatures.

Not all of my creatures are being shown on the "Create New Trade" page!

That is because that creature is either in one of your other lots or you've offered it on another lot. Each creature can only be in one lot at a time.

What's up with this "exceeding 100 creatures" message? What does it mean?

Each user on Egg Cave can only have 100 creatures at any given time. This rule has been in place since of the beginning of the site (it's nothing new).

If you're offering on a lot and receive this message, you need to change how many eggs you're offering. If you have 100 creatures and lot you're offering on a lot that contains 5 eggs, you need to offer 5 eggs to stay within the bounds of the "100 Creatures Rule." If you had 100 eggs and offered only 4 creatures on a 5-creature lot, in the case that your offer would be accepted, the resulting amount of creatures you would own would be 101!

If you're trying to accept an offer and receive this message, you simply cannot accept offer because of the number of creatures you currently own. To solve this, you need to contact the "buyer" asking him or her to adjust their offer. Egg Cave does not support the abandonment of creatures to maintain this rule.

Do backgrounds transfer with creatures that are traded?

Yes.

What happens if the creature I am trading currently has services booked at Tim's Food Shoppe?

The services will continue and be transferred to the new owner of your creature.

Can creatures die if they are being traded?

Yes. If they die, they will simply be removed from your trade lot or offer automatically. It is important to feed all of your creatures daily!

Do my creatures' views increase for being in the Trade Center?

No.

How long can my trade be up?

Thirty days. If you do not accept any offers within 30 days, your trade will be automatically closed.

NOTE TO BETA TESTERS : All trade lots and offers have been cleared from the Trade Center as there was a major bug. ;D

ENJOY!

good morning

lizardfeather • 27 Jan 2010, 11:04 AM

Anyone got two Mos and two Terrons? That will get you a Balrogipuwet! 😉

thursdays_dove • 27 Jan 2010, 11:35 AM

Well, I asked Ian if there was a way people who weren't around for the Ghosty plot to get a Balrogipuwet, and he said he was thinking-

thursdays_dove • 27 Jan 2010, 11:36 AM

-of ways for everyone to get every kind of eggs, so.. we'll see! All I know is that I really want one, but I didn't join until November. D:

losorlaugh • 27 Jan 2010, 12:07 PM

honestly Ian has probs forgot about Rhinedorf as he released almost a month ago and still hasn't properly released them...

ladyneptune • 27 Jan 2010, 1:31 PM

Rhinedorfs went to the lucky folks who did well on the MyLights competition. Gamekatt101 has one cuz she WON the competition!

dragonkeeper • 27 Jan 2010, 1:33 PM

yes if you had a terron and a Balrogipuwet someone would trade you their mo thats how I got mine

ladyneptune • 27 Jan 2010, 1:33 PM

I'm loving the Trading Center! It gave me a Terron (Even though I traded my Balrogi for it), and it gave my stepdaughter, SparkyGameNut...

ladyneptune • 27 Jan 2010, 1:39 PM

... got a really great start on her egg collection cuz I was able to send her a bunch quickly.

ginna3525 • 27 Jan 2010, 2:04 PM

Mo are realy rare to find,more rare of the terron,i want a male Mo,but is hard to find

sparklefox • 27 Jan 2010, 2:15 PM

Hey anyone(And I mean NEWBIES!)want to trade for this? Lot #18100611

xxxmahiruxxx • 27 Jan 2010, 2:39 PM

I'm so glad the Trading Centre has finally opened! 😃

silverserpent • 27 Jan 2010, 4:23 PM

Since the Rhinedorf showed up and Ian said it was going to be in the cash shop it's no wonder people wants it as fast as possible.

silverserpent • 27 Jan 2010, 4:24 PM

There's only 3 Rhinedorfs at the moment. Talk about RARE! 😋

3heartbreaker3 • 27 Jan 2010, 4:34 PM

ya i want the rhinedorf extremely badly!!! does anyone know how much its going to cost???

dragonkeeper • 27 Jan 2010, 5:22 PM

no not yet we wount know how much they will be till the cash shop oppens

3heartbreaker3 • 27 Jan 2010, 5:34 PM

aww ☹️ i wish i knew cuz i need to know how much to save up, right now i only have lik 1 million ec, which i majorly doubt is enough

inkdweller • 27 Jan 2010, 6:10 PM

It's definatley a good start though @3heartbreaker3 ^^ I'm sure it was meant to take awhile but... well it's taking awhile!
