    The ECDS will be a delivery service of animals (mostly). Truly, I dislike how spawn eggs will give you a random colored animal and you can't breed an animal you like to the color you want. (like I got a white horse, when I wanted a black one.... I wanted to name him Death) However I have found many animals out in the wild, that I like a lot, but I wasn't looking for animals and most of the time I didn't have time to carry an animal with me.

    This is where the ECDS comes in. I myself and possibly a small team of trusted people would deliver the desired animals to their new owners. In return, would be paid on how fast they wanted it delivered and the type of animal. It will be a time consuming task, so I'd hope to be able to place some "rest stops" inside certain welcoming towns across the map. (Hopefully for free too ;) )

    We will get most of our supply by finding animals in random areas, as well as spawn eggs. This will start out in Rising, eventually I hope to move to legacy as well.

    There will also be another forum thread that will have pictures and costs of all the animals we have stocked. As well as delivery costs, times, and pricing.

    I know it may not be as profitable as mining, but I would rather have good customer service :p

    EDIT: I have now built an amazing stable to hold nearly every animal and I also now have a stock! including horses, dogs, cats, pigs, sheep, cows, and chickens! I am always getting more. I still need to build the rest stops, when I have time and as soon as I purchase fly, which won't be for about a week or so. Thank you everyone!

    I have now also set-up a few areas in Legacy as well. Not a large stock, mostly rabbits, pigs, sheep and cows.

    I wish you success with this awesome business adventure! When you are able to expand to legacy, I have many towns located across the map that you would be welcome to build "rest stops" in.

    This is a really fun idea. Sort of like a cowboy? When I become mayor I may want to hire your services to get some cows. Please keep us up to date on your progress.

    You can place rest areas in every town in the epicure empire, so long as they do not occupy too much space and follow the architectural theme of the town. Start a forum convo with me if interested.

    I am now working on the structures and layouts for the resting areas and holding areas, so that the animals will have a safe landing and protected home. I am also gathering animals for a stock. I hope to have fly by the end of the month (Christmas sale), so I may get the animals to their destination in a timely fashion!

    I would also like to thank everyone who has offered me a "rest place" in their towns, I will be sure to pm you in game or message you over the forums as soon as possible!

    I hope to get this started soon :D

    I would use this service. I have killed 4 horses now transporting them across the map.
    1 transported successfully.
    4 horses killed.


    Horses don't fly well.

    Lol, I am happy to see you're interested :p . I do hope I won't have to transport 5 at a time, but if I do.... I can guarantee a safe arrival :) .

    I am sorry your horses had died. :(

    Good luck with this!

    I used to try and find animals and bring them into my town with fly and a lead. Bad idea xD.

    Well not really, as I am not really looking into purchases. It was more of a general idea, and I wanted to share with the community. The thread that will be holding the sales and prices.... yes, I will put in the classifieds. I'm not exact, but I'm pretty sure it belongs here. Thank you though.... :p
