@immortalraven

@sakhmet99

It means that users are moving their eggs from a profile to another, so other people shouldn't offer on them cause they aren't UFT = up for trade ;D

@sakhmet99
It means someone is transferring it to a side account and as it says in it, it means it's not for trade so that also means it is not free.
UFA means either it is up for adoption (free) Or up for auction (means they are having people bid on it until they like the offer x3)
No problem c;

@dafni
oh ok. so its kind of like they are reserved then?

@sakhmet99

Not exactly, reserved is used when you are trading them but you already have make a deal with someone, so you don't want other offers on them cause it'a already set xD

@sakhmet99

Yes it is like the creature(s) being reserved.

@dafni

People also use reserved when they are just moving creatures around. It doesn't just mean they're trading.

@bubblez

Yes, I know that, but actually it sounds quite illogic to me. I mean, reserved means that something is save up for someone else, like "booked".
Etymologically is way more correct use transfer for moving creatures and reserved for trades already concluded.

@dafni

It's perfectly logical, regardless to what you think. Reserved means reserved. So it's perfectly fine for using when transferring creatures. IE reserving it for themselves.

The whole point is so people do not offer. And, for the majority, will not offer when they see reserve.

@bubblez

Well, in the end you can use the words you want or even leave it blank, there's not a right or a wrong, I'm just pointing out that the two words have a different meaning. Then everyone uses the one with he's more
comfortable xD

@sakhmet99

Btw, if you have other doubt on terms, here's a list of the most used ;D
