[/indent] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=mb&board=ann&id=950652]Read more about this update here. [/url][more] [indent]The reason that this window is somewhat short is that we would like to have Lightsky on deck and monitoring the server load in the event that things need additional shoring up. We will then be monitoring the site for about a week to see how the influx of new users affects things. If it holds steady, we will considering another window. After a second window, we will again monitor the situation, and continue to make any alterations or optimizations. If that is, too, successful, we will evaluate whether we are ready to enable open registration entirely. We have a lot of excited people ready to try out [i]Flight Rising[/i], and have been anxiously awaiting a time in which we can let people back in to enjoy our world![/indent] [b]A reminder for new and existing players:[/b][i] Players may have only one account, and members may not share accounts.[/i] [b]New Familiars:[/b] [indent]Toridae are beginning to uproot and patrol the marshlands. A few of these creatures have made it to the marketplace. A peculiar familiar for peculiar dragons.

Swipp's Swap Stand has received an additional supply of cobras and is offering them for trade.[/indent] [center][item=spined cobra][/center] [b]Google Checkout:[/b] [indent]We have located and resolved the issue that was causing Google Checkout gem packages to not go through properly. This payment option has been brought online again, and [b]will be available until November 1st[/b], after which it will be removed from the site. Google is retiring the Google Checkout service on [b]November 20th[/b], so we want to make sure that all of our gem orders are safely in before that date. They are transitioning to Google Wallet, but we would like to assess the security/safety of this method before implementing it into [i]Flight Rising[/i], so Paypal may be the only option for a little while. Thank you for your understanding.[/indent] [b]Kickstarter Physical Goods:[/b] [indent]We are are happy to report that we have approved the final proofs for the Flight Rising Bestiary art book and they look great! The run is currently being printed, and once they are finished, we will begin shipping Kickstarter goods out to those who donated at those levels. [b]IMPORTANT: If you experienced a change of address between the end of the Kickstarter and now, please immediately notify us by sending us an email at admin@flightrising.com with all of your proper contact information. The subject should read "Kickstarter Address Change."[/b][/indent] [b]Bug Fixes:[/b] [LIST] [*]Skydancer Male highlight auras are now facing the proper direction in Versus Mode of the Coliseum.
