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!

i mean it wouldnt really be fair for other ppl to get it since they didnt do the plot but yet its kind of not fair cuz then those ppl could

3heartbreaker3 • 29 Jan 2010, 11:28 PM

never get it unless someone has on and gives it to them so idk...

thursdays_dove • 29 Jan 2010, 11:30 PM

All I know is that I asked Ian if there would be a way for people who joined after the Ghosty plot to get a Balrogipuwet, and he said he was

thursdays_dove • 29 Jan 2010, 11:30 PM

thinking of ways for everyone to have all pets.

rayray • 29 Jan 2010, 11:37 PM

I don't think the Balrogipuwet should be in the Cash Shop.If it is it should be extremely expensive something like over 500,000,cause people

rayray • 29 Jan 2010, 11:37 PM

tried really hard for that egg.๐Ÿ˜ƒ

killberry • 29 Jan 2010, 11:47 PM

Please don't let the Balrogipuwet be in the Cash Shop!

dragonkeeper • 29 Jan 2010, 11:50 PM

yea rayray has a good pont if Ian decides too put the Balrogipuwet they sould be very expensive

3heartbreaker3 • 29 Jan 2010, 11:50 PM

ya i agree with rayray, though i think it should be more expensive then that cuz for some ppl it would be easy to get that much money

3heartbreaker3 • 29 Jan 2010, 11:51 PM

i think it should be lik 10 million or 5 million ec though i'm sure a lot of ppl wont agree with me

rayray • 29 Jan 2010, 11:57 PM

@3heartbreaker3:I don't think it would it be that harsh if there was a Balrogipuwet.๐Ÿ˜ƒ somewhere in the millions๐Ÿ˜ธ

3heartbreaker3 • 30 Jan 2010, 12:00 AM

ya the balrgoipuwet i think should maybe be 3 million or 5 million and the rhinedorf lik 10 million, or at least thats just my opinion ๐Ÿ˜Š

3heartbreaker3 • 30 Jan 2010, 12:01 AM

i guess 10 million for a balrogipuwet would be a lot...but idk ur right, somewhere in the millions

killberry • 30 Jan 2010, 12:03 AM

If it were in the millions then I guess so... It would stop people from donating to the Calla fund though!

thursdays_dove • 30 Jan 2010, 12:07 AM

Oh well I agree that the Balrogipuwet should be really expensive if it's in the Cash Shop. I just want to be able to get one because I-

thursdays_dove • 30 Jan 2010, 12:07 AM

-joined after the Ghosty plot ended. If I could fairly complete the plot myself, I would. :/

dragonkeeper • 30 Jan 2010, 12:11 AM

it depend how fast you can save for the cash shop and donate too the callas at the same time

3heartbreaker3 • 30 Jan 2010, 12:18 AM

ya, but i guess ian intended the calla to take a really long time so i guess...actually well the cash shop might come out after the calla

thursdays_dove • 30 Jan 2010, 12:21 AM

I think.. honestly, somewhere between 10,000,000 and 30,000,000 would be fair. It sounds like it's too much and unfair, but I don't think so

thursdays_dove • 30 Jan 2010, 12:21 AM

Yes it would take a long time to get that much EC, but it would make it harder to get, which is how it should be. I would so save for it!

wen • 30 Jan 2010, 12:33 AM

We better not have to buy the calla TnT I mean everyone's literally already paid quite a lot to the research institute. Sighs I want a

wen • 30 Jan 2010, 12:34 AM

balorgipuwet to be in the cash shop though, couldn't get the time egg no matter how many clciks I did >.<

sapphire12 • 30 Jan 2010, 1:04 AM

maybe the Balrogipuwet WOULD be in the cash shop for the people who joined after the Ghosty plot ended. Ian would know who did and who -

sapphire12 • 30 Jan 2010, 1:05 AM

didnt cuz we have those ''Date Joined'' thingies on our profile page rite?

sapphire12 • 30 Jan 2010, 1:07 AM

and the Calla, as I said before, we ARE already paying for it. So i hope those who donated will get 1 for free. XD

thursdays_dove • 30 Jan 2010, 1:11 AM

I have to say that I hope I get one for free.. >.> But I'm willing to pay more for it. I enjoy working hard to collect 'em all. x]

thursdays_dove • 30 Jan 2010, 1:12 AM

And yeah, Ian would definitely know who joined when and if they did the Ghosty plot or not. I would ask someone if they have a Balrog-

thursdays_dove • 30 Jan 2010, 1:12 AM

-but nobody is willing to part with theirs or they're asking for a Mo, which I don't have, so... yeah. I'll do what it takes to get one!

sapphire12 • 30 Jan 2010, 1:38 AM

Exactly ๐Ÿ˜ธ

rayray • 30 Jan 2010, 2:02 AM

there were 251 balrogs what if in a few years time they go extinct!๐Ÿ˜ฑ

accat • 30 Jan 2010, 2:40 AM

-off topic?- Aaah!! There`s 3 backgrounds that I NEVER EVER saw in the travel agency and I keep checking at all kinds of different hours x.x

wen • 30 Jan 2010, 2:51 AM

ughh don't talk about trading for a balorgipuwet =-= is still sad I didn't manage to get one, I wish those with 3 of them would trade with

wen • 30 Jan 2010, 2:51 AM

or at least let me adopt one if they quit

wen • 30 Jan 2010, 2:52 AM

@accat- bgs restock based on rarity, it's just badluck if you can't see the rarer ones :/ I haven't managed to see about 6 of them

sapphire12 • 30 Jan 2010, 3:09 AM

well maybe the balrogipuwet will become a hand-down pet. I mean I've seen users quitting and giving the pet to someone else. And don't-

sapphire12 • 30 Jan 2010, 3:11 AM

forget they're traded for as well. So, maybe in EggCave there'll forever be only 251 Balrogipuwets T_T

rayray • 30 Jan 2010, 3:17 AM

I estimate that already 1 Balro has died alreadyโ˜น๏ธ

killberry • 30 Jan 2010, 3:26 AM

nettlez's eggs are dying! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ GUYS GO FEED THEM!

sparklefox • 30 Jan 2010, 4:35 AM

Out Of Topic- I've got 21,141 EC! I better save more up!

sapphire12 • 30 Jan 2010, 4:47 AM

I hope not, I don't want the Balrogipuwet to become extinct T_T ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

elluwah • 30 Jan 2010, 5:20 AM

Are our creatures immortal, do you think? They don't exactly die of old age, only starvation o_O

rayray • 30 Jan 2010, 5:31 AM

probably not it would be a diff. egg.๐Ÿ˜ƒ

sparklefox • 30 Jan 2010, 7:08 AM

@elluwah I think so,my creatures have only died from lack of food.

dionaea • 30 Jan 2010, 8:03 AM

I think that if the balrogi would be sold at the cash shop: 1. It should cost >10mil 2. In its description it should say it came from the CS

dionaea • 30 Jan 2010, 8:04 AM

That way it would still be hard to get and the participants of the plot would still have a special egg ๐Ÿ˜Š

sparklefox • 30 Jan 2010, 9:24 AM

@dionea I think it shouldnt cost that much,coz I never have that much โ˜น๏ธ @jamiegurrl I fed her. ๐Ÿ˜Š

ginna3525 • 30 Jan 2010, 9:32 AM

good morning. Magna only need 4 more clock to full evolve

dragonkeeper • 30 Jan 2010, 9:46 AM

good moring eggcave

thursdays_dove • 30 Jan 2010, 9:57 AM

Another thing: if anything in the Cash Shop costs more than like a million EC, I personally would like a banking option - it would help with

thursdays_dove • 30 Jan 2010, 9:58 AM

saving up for expensive things.
