Wow, over already. Dang. I thought it would last another day. Oh, well. Could we at least have a due date as when they disappear? It looks like the date of their disappearance is arbitrary...I could see why people would rather load up on the frozen eggs and then buy them back when they hatch from Master Belmos. There isn't enough time and there are less people playing during this period of time.

As percentage rate for each click, I did not think it was not slow at all. I would not complain about it at all. In fact, I though they were pretty average when compared to streamborn creatures...the only problem is there was less people on click thread and people clicking IFN for me. People are busy after holidays after all. I had to get most of my eggs hatched by twitter and Yarolds. Seriously, I would say about 70% of growth came from these two!
I will be leaving after Valentine event. Thanks for playing with me.

The dates for limited creatures are stated on the Creature release news thread whenever such a creature is released. (:

Crap...total forgot about that! :facepalm: Thanks for letting me know. I usually only look on page of discussion thread. So this time I assume that there was no date mentioned. :sweat:

    • Third fastest hatcher (pretty much the same as the second fastest hatchers), third fastest overall
I am just curious but is there a way we could have a more standardized time frame for the arkai release or is there a reason as to why the time frames vary so much year to year? I would have preferred at least 5 days when it comes to event creatures like this (especially during this time of year) but if not I understand.
Spoiler
I was on vacation with my family from the 27th through the 3rd and the place we were at had horrible internet connection (which may be more related to the fact that I had both brothers, my cousin and my parents all in the same condo thing and they tended to use the internet too) so I was having trouble hatching them in time especially with all the stuff going on that time of the month :( To me 5 just seems like it would be easier for people who are busy this time of year (even those who have to go back to school around this time too) to at least have a somewhat decent chance to get a good amount of arkai. These ones were really pretty and I am sad I wasn't able to get more of them. I wish the time limit was put in the OP of this thread too since it was hard for me to get around/explore the website with the crappy internet I had at the time so this was the first thing I went to to be able to see what the new arkai looked like :t-:(

Those are just my thoughts/input at least.

I like these Arkai, but sadly my first batch hadn't even gotten close to hatching before they were gone despite being in the ifn the whole time. Here's hoping I actually have at least one of each gender!

Proud owner of 82 of all those arkai *0*
2 pale, 2 umber, 8 fire + 2 frozen hatchlings, 28 striped, 19 aurora, 26 Nova

Probably added wrong somewhere. I had to subtract all the Vetus I added in the tab.

That's such a good idea! Send my 101 arkai eggs to Master Belmos.

This year actually wasn't bad.
