Happy Third Anniversary!! :D

[br][br][size=4][b]Our Most Humble Thanks[/b][/size] [i]Flight Rising[/i] is [b]three years old[/b] as of today, and it would not be where it is without you: our players. Some of you have been here since the very beginning, sticking with us through growth we did not anticipate. Many of you have watched our site evolve from humble beginnings and mature into a living, breathing world. All of you are responsible with how wonderful the world of Sornieth has become, and we wouldn't have made it this far without your support. [br][br][size=4][b]Colors, Colors, Colors![/b][/size] Some of you may not know this, but when we were planning the launch of [i]Flight Rising[/i], the range of possible dragon gene colors was [b]only 47[/b]! After our tremendously successful Kickstarter campaign, that number grew to the 67 colors that are available today. When we started out, gene art production was extremely time-consuming: each file had to be generated [b]by hand[/b], and as the number of breeds and gene types started to grow, it started to become very difficult to complete these in a timely manner. Over the last year we made incredible strides toward automating a lot of this process, allowing our artists to spend more time creating interesting gene designs, rather than spending it on the recoloring process. This automation has proven to be so effective that it is allowing us to [b]expand our current palette from 67 to 177[/b] - over [i]double[/i] what was available before! Dragons across the realm will start to take on many more varieties of color combinations, which we believe will both invigorate the economy as well as player breeding goals. Starting today, the expanded color options will be immediately available through the following activities: [LIST] [*][b]Breeding dragons[/b] [*][b]Opening Unhatched Egg items[/b] [*][b]Applying Tri-Color (or Clanbound) Scatterscrolls[/b] [/LIST] To remain fair to our current players, we are locking "first dragon creation" during account creation to the original palette of 67.

When reporting color wheel-related bugs to us, please help us by [b]consolidating your reports in the [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/bug]bug reports forum[/url].[/b] Thank you! [b]Known issues that will be corrected:[/b] [LIST] [*]Iridescent and Shimmer's sheen is at incorrect brightness. [*]Underbelly covers additional areas in some breeds. [*]Fae Female Crystal and Facet have a rainbow lair at incorrect opacity. [*]Gold Crystal and Facet are using an incorrect color palette. [*]The accent color on hickory/cyan seraph is incorrect. [/LIST] [b]Intended Changes:[/b] [LIST] [*]All colors (with the exception of Iridescent & Shimmer, which are still colored by hand) have been uniformly standardized ac
