So, in Aequorins new post, saying the new maintance isn't anything special:

[b]It's not a new breed, it's not Adventure Mode, and it's not the world map update. [/b]Those are still in development. [emoji=new friend size=1]
Monday's maintenance will take longer than usual as it's for some critical backend work. During that time we need to "pull the curtains down," so to speak. In the past that's happened when we have a big feature release or update immediately following, but that's not the case here. We want to give you a heads up now, rather than later.

Adventure mode? Are they making one, and I just never heard of it?

It's one of the features that was advertised at the very beginning of the site, but as something that would take some time to come out. All we know about it is from
this post.
Quote:
Due to the immense size and scale of this feature, it will not be available for launch (or even several months after launch), but we have already begun content creation and have many backend systems in place for our adventure/questing mode. In a content update some time after launch, players will be able to take a party of dragons into a few subregions of the world map, select quests to embark on, and earn treasure/loot for completing them. The player will be able to move their party of dragons around a visual environment, explore, and battle their way through random and scripted encounters. This feature will expand over time, encompassing more and more areas of the Flight Rising realm for players to explore.

Oh wow! That sounds so cool! I wonder when they will finish Adventure Mode?

Hard to say, as it's been 7 years now. :' D
Don't quote me on it cause I was on a hiatus for about a year, but I BELIEVE staff said they wanted to focus on the site rewrite before really getting back to it.
At the same time, aeroquin's post makes it sound like it's in the front part of their queue. -thinking emoji-

I think that this will get implemented someday after the World Map update gets dropped. The reason being is within this sentence: "In a content update some time after launch, players will be able to take a party of dragons into a few subregions of the world map..."
But as of other things, I can't wait for this to get implemented! :D

Please drink water.
Step away if things get heated.

As everyone above me has said already, it's basically legend and rumor at this point! I do think @/TheCunningCorvid is correct in saying that staff has put it fully on hold until the site has been moved over to www1 and more stable servers. Whatever it is, there's a lot of speculation and I can't wait to see what it will end up being!

When we perform this type of maintenance, the top three player hype theories are new breed, world map update, and Adventure Mode.
As far as our current development priorities go, we're still refactoring the website (www/www1) and our [b][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/ann/2812270]developer updates[/url][/b] cover what's at the front as well as current projects we're able to talk about or preview.

[size=5][b]Site Refactor Update[/b][/size]
As we mentioned above, the team has been hard at work over the last few years refactoring [i]Flight Rising's[/i] codebase to run more efficiently. The goals of the refactor are to [b]optimize[/b] and update the site's underlying framework to help [b]future-proof it and allow for further evolution[/b] (either in functionality or style) later down the road. These refactors are not simple ports, but full revamps taking into account [i]your[/i] feedback on ways to make each feature even better!
This dragon profile revamp was another huge notch in our progress, and we wanted to update everyone on just where we're at with the continuing conversion. As with everything, please know that our project is fluid, and some of these may increase or decrease in priority based on other development factors.

@Aequorin Ahhhh. My apologies, I (and I guess some others) thought the specific mention was odd, but with context that makes a lot more sense haha. Sorry to have bothered you, but thank you for the clarification!

Oh! Awesome! Can't wait to see what Adventure mode will be like in the far future when they do release it!
Never thought i'd see the day when a admin/mod replies to my post! :o

Oh wow, I must have missed that post somehow, but I'm super excited to see both more behind-the-scenes information on the development of the site and, more importantly to me, a hoard/vault update in the works! It's nice to see that so much of the site is being reworked, even if it'll take a while. Can't wait to see the updates roll out!
