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!

wouldnt be REAL money . would it ?

Meteoroid • 28 Jan 2010, 7:25 PM

"Best of all, it's completely FREE!" - the old Neopets homepage. However, they have the Neocash Mall. Things change, is all I can say, 😋

frescotux1o1 • 28 Jan 2010, 7:45 PM

Does anyone else thing that the Calla will come out in the Cash Shop when all the funds are done?

Meteoroid • 28 Jan 2010, 7:52 PM

I sincerely doubt the Calla will be Cash Shop-only. We already are practically paying for it. 😋

icedapple • 28 Jan 2010, 8:18 PM

i know this is off of topic but does anyone have a spare honk?I really want one! but according to my horrible luck i cant! can someone help?

inkdweller • 28 Jan 2010, 8:30 PM

@silverserpent I think the idea of Ian posting about what to expect would be a great idea! 😊

inkdweller • 28 Jan 2010, 8:32 PM

It would stop a lot of these arguements. I don't really like argueing, It's stressful.

ginna3525 • 28 Jan 2010, 8:33 PM

good night everybody,SL is so far to the 500,000,000

3heartbreaker3 • 28 Jan 2010, 8:52 PM

ya that would be good if he posted about the cash shop and explain everything cuz then ppl wont keep arguing about whos right about the ec

wen • 28 Jan 2010, 9:09 PM

nyxulfur: I got my mo at 3 am, remembers since I was looking for a terron. I think mos are completely and utterly random

wen • 28 Jan 2010, 9:10 PM

Also everyone, I think we should stop demanding so much of him, he has a life if he did alll that we asked him he'd be nothing but a machine

3heartbreaker3 • 28 Jan 2010, 9:48 PM

3heartbreaker3 • 28 Jan 2010, 9:49 PM

sammynina19347 • 29 Jan 2010, 12:17 AM

I'm not really excited about the cash shop, but I am for the chat boards! I love to chat. xD

sammynina19347 • 29 Jan 2010, 12:17 AM

Anyways, does anyone mind feeding ragamuffinsundrop's eggs? They have 2 ghosties and the ghosties are about to die...

ravenstar_1997 • 29 Jan 2010, 12:51 AM

Hm, I feel poor. I only have like 20,000 EC because i dont like clicking on eggs a million times. 😋

ambsie • 29 Jan 2010, 3:16 AM

anyone think its a good idea to trade 2 terrons for a mo? idk if the trade is to much or something,

ambsie • 29 Jan 2010, 3:22 AM

oh and im looking for a ghosty egg heres my lots number 18100982

rayray • 29 Jan 2010, 6:50 AM

I wonder where the cash shop will be held?hmm......

bazoo • 29 Jan 2010, 7:54 AM

Balrogipuwets should not be in the Cash Shop for me... I think. It would be unfair to those who worked hard to finish the plot...

bazoo • 29 Jan 2010, 7:55 AM

Another thing, I hope the forums won't weaken the comment thingies. D:

lucyc2000 • 29 Jan 2010, 8:39 AM

i wonder if a mo or calla will be in the cash shop

lucyc2000 • 29 Jan 2010, 8:40 AM

if there is its probably going to be really expensive. ☚ī¸

dragonkeeper • 29 Jan 2010, 9:01 AM

I hope the calla will be at the cash shop would make it a bit easier too get one intead of pulling eggs from the cave

dragonkeeper • 29 Jan 2010, 9:02 AM

and than having too flood the adoption center with more unwantted eggs

michi2276 • 29 Jan 2010, 12:07 PM

Cash shop sounds cool =] can't wait. I better start saving ECs

sparklefox • 29 Jan 2010, 12:24 PM

@Everyone I think you should stop worrying about the Cash Shop.Its a surprise,and you should just save and donate and save more for it....😸

sapphire12 • 29 Jan 2010, 1:38 PM

I agree with nle1998, I mean we all already payed for the Calla. a whole 500 million EC. and we have to pay for it again? ridiculous!

sapphire12 • 29 Jan 2010, 1:39 PM

I'm still as excited as everyone bout the Cash Shop tho! ^-^

dragonkeeper • 29 Jan 2010, 2:52 PM

yea thats ture well maby they will resle them in a defretnt why I just dont to like pounding eggs for no good reason thats all

ginna3525 • 29 Jan 2010, 3:44 PM

thats right

ginna3525 • 29 Jan 2010, 3:53 PM

feed Yakarel only 6 more feed to evolve to the second stage

silverserpent • 29 Jan 2010, 4:10 PM

@kitten That would actually be very nice if all donators got a Calla in return. That would mean the egg cave keeps track of all who donates.

silverserpent • 29 Jan 2010, 4:11 PM

Don't know if it's likely, but I'll keep my fingers crossed because that was a sweet idea. 😸

silverserpent • 29 Jan 2010, 4:13 PM

And now a commercial break: Lot #18101041 *whistles innocently*

inkdweller • 29 Jan 2010, 5:10 PM

A lot of posts here :/ hmm... I suppose that just means we have a lot of ideas! 😃

3heartbreaker3 • 29 Jan 2010, 5:20 PM

i honestly doubt ian would make an egg 50,000 ec, thats really not much at all. if they were that much i would be able to buy 21 of that egg

3heartbreaker3 • 29 Jan 2010, 5:22 PM

and probably the ppl who donated the most would get one cuz if u just got one for donating, then a person could donate 1 ec and then get it

lynncrow • 29 Jan 2010, 5:32 PM

.....wow....there are a lot of comments XD...the callas are still going to take forever ><

dragonkeeper • 29 Jan 2010, 5:34 PM

yea thats a good point 50,000 is not a lot

sammynina19347 • 29 Jan 2010, 7:01 PM

50,000 is 1/3 of how much EC I have. 😋

cookie • 29 Jan 2010, 8:48 PM

Maybe the Cash shop might be in the store with the wizard hat and wand on it in ark city?

cookie • 29 Jan 2010, 8:49 PM

They probably would cost more than that because they are -currently- unavailable.

asa • 29 Jan 2010, 10:07 PM

here is a lot: Lot #18100647 not much, but the eggs have higher levels 😊

dragonkeeper • 29 Jan 2010, 10:07 PM

I agree with cookie I think they will be more than 50,000 since no one one has them but the winners

ginna3525 • 29 Jan 2010, 10:46 PM

thats sure

sammynina19347 • 29 Jan 2010, 11:03 PM

@ jamiegurrl - I kinda disagree, because some people didn't bother doing the plot. Well, the people who joined Eggcave later-

sammynina19347 • 29 Jan 2010, 11:04 PM

- that's a different story. :/

erik3030 • 29 Jan 2010, 11:12 PM

AWESOME! Please Add Me!

3heartbreaker3 • 29 Jan 2010, 11:27 PM
