[quote]How long does an account have to be inactive for before it is no longer figured into the active accounts for dom calculations?[/quote] Two weeks! [br][br] [quote]Do you already accepted some applications since you started offering jobs? I can't wait for a lot of new breeds and genes![/quote] We'll have more information on this in our next [i]Words on the Wind[/i]. [br][br] [quote]Will there be any holiday themed vistas? Like Halloween, Christmas, etc?[/quote] Specifically, no. The holidays Sornieth celebrates are not the same as Earth holidays. We do have some loose tie-ins: seasonal items, Marva's tricks on April 1st, and turkeys appearing in November, but there are no plans for anything more direct than that. We may experiment with things like pumpkin patches or pine trees, while staying away from things that explicitly reference Earth holidays or figures. [br][br] [quote]What do the different stars under someone's avatar in the forums stand for?[/quote] The stars indicate how many forum posts a user has made. They do not provide any advantage, they're simply a bit of forum flair! [i]([b]Please note:[/b] Stars come with time. Do not spam the forums to get more stars. Spamming for stars may result in account penalties and/or a player's post count being reset.)[/i] [br][br] [quote]If familiars can't breed, where do new familiars come from then? Do they just... pop into this world somehow??[/quote] Familiars can have offspring in terms of the world and lore. In terms of gameplay, there is no familiar breeding system. [br][br] [quote]How do the artists get ideas for apparel? For instance - do you guys give them a brief and they run with it, or do they pitch you an idea and you agree?[/quote] We do both. :) Sometimes we have a very specific item we want made. Sometimes our artists will come to us and say "I had this idea for an item...". Both have resulted in some great additions to [i]Flight Rising[/i]! [i]([b]Please note:[/b] Only our site artists pitch apparel ideas. Please do not send us your apparel: we are unable to use your artwork!)[/i] [br][br] [quote]Do the artists have several new breeds they are working on and slowly eliminating, or are they trying to make one up, or are they currently focusing on one new breed?[/quote] Coming up with new breed ideas is not a problem! If it were just a set of three illustrations and that was it, our artists could release a new breed every week without issue. However, because of the customizable nature of our dragons, new breeds take a very, very long time to create. This is because they become exponentially more difficult to add as the game progresses. Each new breed needs every gene and piece of apparel drawn to fit it. As we're at over 40 genes for the adults and hatchling and 1400 pieces of apparel, this is a very time-consuming process. We've been chipping away at new breeds while simultaneously keeping new updates rolling out. We are going to be adding more artists in the future to assist in breed art backlog work and having more breeds cooking at any given time. The extra hands are very welcome! [br][br] [quote]What do the admins think about the Coatlshop threads?[/quote] If it's possible to be simultaneously dismayed and delighted, that about sums it up. [br][br] [quote]When transmuting items with Baldwin does the rarity or amount you have of an item change what rarity you get in return?[/quote] No. Item rarity or star value does not affect the outcome of the [i]color[/i] of the reagent you will receive. The item type will affect the [i]type[/i] of reagent you will receive. Example: apparel will always produce slimes, but the rarity of the apparel will have no affect on whether you get a grey, black, or white slime.
