Flight Rising Discussion

[quote]You say "this year's" flight vistas will cycle into Joxar's box and be unavalable for direct purchase. Does that mean there will be more (as in, different) vistas for each elemental flight? Might we see a different Light Flight vista next June, for example?[/quote] We will announce plans for the 2017-2018 holiday season at the end of the 2016-2017 season. [br][br] [quote]What is the answer to life, the universe, and everything?[/quote] 42 [br][br] [quote]Are at least SOME of the exalted dragons eaten by their deities? ...Please?[/quote] The dragons of Sornieth are their creations. They do not eat them. [br][br] [quote]Who thinks up all the items? cuz there's a LOT[/quote] Undel, Xhaztol, and the entire art team contribute ideas and artwork to bring the resources, flora, and fauna of Sornieth to life. [br][br] [quote]Can our dragons really die? I hope not o.0[/quote] Your dragons cannot die. Even if they lose all their energy in the coliseum or through hunger, they will be okay! We understand that players need to spend time away from the game every now and again. It would not be fun if every time you left, you lost your entire clan of dragons that you worked so hard for and grew attached to. [br][br] [quote]Are the... I suppose "Goblin" is going to wind up being the template name, since it's not alliterative... are they about the same size as the sprites? Bigger? Smaller?[/quote] The goblins are around the same size as the sprites, give or take a couple of centimeters. [br][br] [quote]How did the FR staff decide the dates for the Elemental Festivals? Were they just any old days, already existing holidays, days that have a special meaning, or...? I'm really curious. ^^[/quote] We aim to have each holiday fall on the last week of the month that's 4 days or more, starting on a Sunday. As far as the months that were assigned, they very loosely correspond with a variety of factors. [i][b]Note: [/b]These factors typically do not affect Sornieth. This is simply the admin's internal logic at work rather than rolling the dice on the holidays! A lot of this relates to where we live, which is in the northern hemisphere in North America.[/i] [br] [LIST] [*][b]June:[/b] Light - The Longest day of the year occurs during June. [*][b]July: [/b]Lightning - Depending on the area you live in you can see heat lightning, which seemed to fit well with desert-dwelling electric dragons. [*][b]August:[/b] Fire - It's hot. It's so hot. Fire is hot. August is hot like fire. It burns. [*][b]September:[/b] Arcane - A new year of school is starting: time to learn. [*][b]October:[/b] Plague - Many plants are in the process of dying off for the year, ready to come back later. [*][b]November: [/b]Earth - Trees have dropped their leaves, but snow has not yet fallen. You see a lot of bare earth. The last harvests are pulled in, further exposing it. [*][b]January:[/b] Ice - Depending on where you live, there may be a good deal of snow and icy temperatures at work. [*][b]February: [/b]Shadow - Long nights and long shadows! (December does contain the longest night, but we didn't want to put an elemental holiday in that month.) [*][b]March:[/b] Wind - In the northern hemisphere March is a notoriously windy month. [*][b]April:[/b] Water - April showers, etc. [*][b]May:[/b] Nature - It's safe to plant most flowers and gardens. Greenery everywhere! [/LIST] [br][br] [quote]Is there a way we can figure out if our holiday skin and accent contest submissions are in the proper format when we put them in the thread for judging? Also, how do we put the files in the thread post so that they show up properly (with regards to file layers and formatting)? Other than going to other users for help I mean, because I'd like to make a submission, but I'm super worried that I'll mess up file size or formatting and it will be ineligible.[/quote] Your submission should use our template file. The final artwork should be 350x350 pixels wide (the templates we provide are larger so that you can do detail work with greater ease), saved as a .png with alpha transparency. Typically, png24 will do this nicely.

Are they just tossed in alive, or do dragons only use familiars that have already died from other causes? If so, is that standard practice for dead familiars?[/quote] Canonically, you are using Baldwin's cauldron. Baldwin would not allow any dragon using his cauldron to put a living creature inside. A scrap of fur, a handful of leaves, a piece of horn, these will work just fine!
