Basically, a swap is where you gift someone a card, and they accept it, then gift it back to you. This way, the person recieving the card gets the archive entry, then gives the card back to its owner.
This can be a great way to get entries for some of those super hard to find cards, or rare cards that you really dont like or want. It is customary for each member to gift a card, as a kind of insurance, or like holding collateral.
it is important, and i cannot stress this enough;
IMPORTANT!
That you only do swap trades with members you trust. Try not to swap with new members, or people you have just met. You are essentially letting someone BORROW your card. You want to make sure that they dont sell/trade/steal or even combine it without permission.
Sometimes combining is ok, providing that it was part of a deal.
a good example would use the elder vampire.
i have an elder vamp + and one other plain elder vamp.
another person has a single vamp, and wants my vamps.
So, i still need the entry for a vamp++.
so they gift me the vamp++, and i take the normal one and evolve into its final form.
once i have combined them, i gift them back the full vamp card.
usually people will want something in return for giving up a card, but if you are just swapping back and forth, there is no need to.
I have a bad habit of making simple things complicated (just like the government!), so if you didnt understand what i mean about swapping, please post here.
NOTICE!!!!
If someone does not return your card, then please give them a few hours, as they might not even know you gave it to them yet.
if someone refuses to give back the card you gifted them, then please post it on the board in support.. and i will make sure shaun knows and we can try to get your card back.
Have fun playing the game, and remember, ONLY swap with people you trust!
