Flight Rising Discussion

now, in addition to rising lair space prices and fluctuating AH prices, you have to pay taxes. Want to but some pretty on the AH? TAX. Want to dump all your savings into more lair space? MORE TAX. Desperately need food for your coli grinding team? EVEN MORE TAX. Oh, and you also have to pay taxes to keep that lair and hoard space. AND, the taxes are 50%.

due to an 'AH overload', all auctions now last only 30 seconds to 1 minute

Deities can now decide their own legislature and taxes, as well as commandments that flights under them must follow, or else they run the risk of excommunication, exile, or other forms of punishment. Each deity has different beliefs and duties so each one is different.
Clans that are punished are unable to gather as much (sometimes not at all for a day or more), unable to expand lair space, potentially lose lair space, dragons of the same flight discriminate against your clan, and you are unable to participate in flight-exclusive forums and auctions. Bonus points if there's a mechanic where your clan is now vulnerable to beastclan attacks because your deity and fellow clans don't want to protect you. Beastclans can injure your dragons (decrease their energy), take from your hoard, and steal food points, gems, and treasure. Sometimes you get lucky and get a small scout party that stumbled too close and don't lose much if anything, sometimes you get whole troops marching through your territory and decide to stock up on supplies via taking yours. Your only method of defense against them is training your dragons in the coliseum, so they stand a chance of fighting back and minigating loses.

[/quote] I always assumed it’s because it’s impossible to tell whether a refresh is due to user action or a server-side issue - and, especially in the early days of FR, it would have been truly vicious to penalise users who got disconnected due to server issues!

Dragons taken out of the hib den have a cooldown before they can breed or enter the coli

Tidelord is found at Flamecaller's because his home is "too salty"
