Confused, you refresh your page. No change. Again. Again. Again. Still nothing.
What the hell happened here, you wonder to yourself.
Surely someone else has at least some answers. Maybe the sites' just down for maintanance...
You feel a bead of sweat forming on your brow, even as you feel chills run down your spine.
No, no, this can't be real. It's just a dragon game..
Even as you mutter to yourself, you find yourself clicking on the forums index, only to be greeted by a single thread active. All other threads have been locked, frozen in place like some sort of time capsule of this disaster.
The only thread active on the entire forums is only titled, "the end."
Oh god.. you whisper, as you click on the thread.

The thread is short and simple, and from a blank user. No name, no avatar, no nothing.

24- now 23- hours until... what? Until the site goes down?
The thread has only caused more questions.

okay nonono my guys. Imagine all that, but TOGETHER. Absolute Apocalypse.
Week 0. Staff start sending cryptic messages. So do the deities. Wow, Tidelord's back soon, right? New lore? New modern? New ancient? But the messages are too vague to know for sure.
Week 1. UserUserson is grinding in Coli. Suddenly, the Bumble in the Training Fields drops... the Imperial scroll. UserUserson checks the database. Nothing. They check the front page for updates. Nothing. They file a ticket to Support. Immediately, they get a responce. It says only two words.
"do it."
Now, UserUserson is not a forum person, but they rush immediately to spread the word. "Haha, good photoshop!" - forum chants. Nobody believes poor UserUserson, so in their anger, they slap the Imperial on their progen, a fae named GenericDragon.
The forums are in awe.
Week 2. It's been everywhere. Users all over start getting Imperial scrolls as often as Coli apparel on a good grind. Economy is in shambles. Some people are showered with riches. Some barely have enough cash for food. In just a single week, Flight Rising was separated into two factions - the scrollers and the non-scrollers. Imperials breed like crazy. Imperial scrolls plummet in value, but it's still not enough to support economy.
Then, Roundsey goes live with her newest Raffle! Yay, people think, perhaps the staff will have stuffed something into the prize pool to let the scrollers come down...
...it's 99 booleans, 99 golden idols, 99 bone fiends..
and 99. Accursed. Imperial scrolls.
The forums are an outrage. Poor UserUserson is comprehending what they had started, for they are the first scroller. GenericDragon still sits in their lair. Gen 1 Imperial. Full basic. Proudly glaring at them with their smug Imperial stare.
Week 3. A banner appears on the first page. Tidelord is back! UserUserson is delighted, but the forums surely are not. Everyone is grumpily posting something like "Maybe you should fix the economy first..." or "REMOVE THE IMPERIAL SCROLLS!!!". The Suggestions forum is overflowing with ideas on how to postpone the event until Imperials are eradicated.
That is when UserUserson decides to check out other deities.
They are gone.
Their usual lair pages return errors.
All festival announcements are gone. Except for Wavecrest Saturnalia.
Water flight is dominating.
The forums are wild. Water flight members are now universally hated. Many leave it, out of shame, but many join, for the dom bonuses can at least do something for the shattering economy, breaking under the weight of the new familiars. It doesn't do much. The scrollers, the only ones who have managed to amass the treasure to move, are most of the Water Flight now.
The staff finally comes to say something.
"Do not fear! A new event is coming shortly!"
Nobody is happy.
Week 4. It's been a full month since Flight Rising began to deteriorate. Most non-scrollers have quit. So have some scrollers - what's the fun in a game when you have achieved everything? The three who have managed to get a hold of the KS familiar stacks are nicknamed The Three and revered by the forums.
In fact, there isn't much going on in the forums. Most of them are dead - nobody wants to discuss Flight Rising or trade for rare items when scrollers can already afford the world. Or, in fact, when The Three are holding sway of all things that still hold any value.
UserUserson checks the front page for some hope of fixing this.
Suddenly, a new event is announced.
"Time to spice up the game! The Ultimate Dom Slam is now live!" - the announcement reads. An all-flight dom battle, coordinated by the staff, is out.
Nobody reacts. They know Water will win anyway.
Week 5. Water did win, in fact. Though this surprised no one, almost the entirety of the Flight Rising population has moved to the Tidelord's domain. The other flights are now dead, only inactive players and non-scrollers who didn't get gifts from their generous scroller buddies remaining to play.
UserUserson checks their lair for their past comfort fae GenericDragon. Now, he serves as a grim reminder of how it all started...
Except he doesn't. He's not in his lair at all. None of UserUserson's dragons are.
Instead, some random dragons who all seem to have come from inactive lairs sit in his own...
...along with Tidelord, his maw agape menacingly.
Astounded, UserUserson rushes to the other deities. They are back, but their own lairs each house a single random dragon or two. Instead, the dragon gods are scattered across random users' profiles, some landing in The Three's lairs too.
The Arcanist is exalted as a joke.
The Flameforger is sold on the Auction house for 1 treasure.
The Earthshaker lands in an inactive player's lair.
The Icewarden, The Stormcatcher and The Shadowbinder are in The Three's lairs. Auctions prices for them skyrocket.
The Windsinger is hopping from lair to lair. People in the forums are vaguely entertained by using him as a travel dragon. Some people still remember the lore.
The Plaguebringer is in someone's Coli team.
The Gladekeeper is exchanged for 100 Imperial scrolls. Whoever sells her curses themselves for not adding more digits.
The Tidelord sits in UserUserson's lair, maw open in an unheard cry. For help? Or for mocking the userbase, perhaps?
Curiously, UserUserson checks The Lightweaver, who sits in someone's lair, undisturbed. In her tooltip, they read.
"The Imperials were a mistake that must be rectified."

Every FR user of the Impocolypse knew of the revered users known as The Three, and every user knew of the names of UserUserson and Curiosity.
This is not a story about them.
This is the story of Uricee.
Uricee was a long-running player on the site, known for their lair's cryptic lore and their devotion to taking dominance. They were the one responsible for Plague's almost victory in the Final Dominance. The one fighting out against the pure power of Water, against The Three, against all that they thought unfair. They fought to the end, to the shutdown of the site.
Like anyone else, they moved on. Found other things to fill the empty void the death of FR left behind. They tried other games, but none ever gave her quite the same feeling of pure joy. Every now and again, they would try to reopen the site, only to be greeted with the same error message as always.
Until one day, they weren't.
They opened up the site and it was just as they remembered.
Well, almost.
They logged into their account and checked on their dragons. It seemed to all be in order.
Well, almost.
They decided to head to the forums, see what the userbase thought about the relaunch.
The forums looked normal at first glance, the different forums being laid out just as nostalgia remembered. They clicked into FRD, their most frequent haunt when they used to play. They were greeted with a single post, by an admin. Curious, they clicked in.
[quote] Soon, Uricee. [/quote]
Scared, they refreshed the page. they were greeted with the same error message they had always seen. Nobdy else had seen the site change. They weren't even sure if it had happened themself.
Until they saw the discord post by UserUserson and Curiosity.
Then, slowly but surely, everything
Clicked

Place.
