A forum search for the ID (I've used oit to see where I have shared certain dragons and to track them through history) keeps leading to weird things. The ID itself keeps turning up in links to other dragons.

The missing dragons incident

Naomi has friends now.

I mean def some interesting lore opportunities here with 10 entire missing dragons and only one of them is known of. A clan of dragons who went missing without a trace? Banished? Or.... something worse?
Might be something I dabble in...

That said, I actually checked the user ids to see if there were any that didn't load or got skipped over to follow the idea that accounts were deleted- as it tracks that a deleted accounts id would not be reused in order to prevent glitches. Found nothing tho! So they truly must have just been sucked into the void by accident.

We don't know how, but there are a few dragons that legally don't exist. Now I kinda wanna know how many there are... [/quote] @/Amazonite I actually found out a while back. Going to recheck the 8 digits and see if anymore have gone missing. Total: 9,245 1 + 2 digits - None missing 3 digits - 1 missing 4 digits - 2 missing 5 digits - 2 missing 6 digits - 2,241 missing 7 digits - 2,444 missing 8 digits - 4,555 missing [b]Edit:[/b] Okay I checked my work over four times or so and the results I got this time are [i]slightly[/i] concerning. There are even [i]more[/i] missing dragons then last time- no, not just eight digits either. I'm pretty positive I didn't mess up my data from the last time I did this, as I calculated the total separately from finding missing dragons in different # digits, so it would've been really noticeable if I had messed up last time. Total: 13,415 dragons missing (+4,170 from last time) 1 + 2 digits: None missing 3 digits: 1 missing 4 digits: 2 missing 5 digits: 12 missing (+10) 6 digits: 2,268 missing (+27) 7 digits: 2,517 missing (+73) 8 digits: 8,615 missing (+4,060) Going to keep an eye on this for a while and see if there's any change in these numbers in the off chance I did mess up the original measurements. The original explanation for missing dragons was due to site lag when they hatched and so on, but what in the world just causes them to vanish in thin air? [/quote] This is... [i]interesting.[/i] Dragons slowly being swallowed by the void. [/quote] It's the Shade come back to consume us all!

Looks like 221589-221598 are all invalid? However, the owner of 221599 seems to be active! Maybe they'll know what's going on?

[quote name="@Arcadaline" date="2021-06-28 10:46:42" ] Huh, interesting. Reading this thread, I'm thinking she was from a now deleted account. It cant' be skipped ID because she's named. If accounts are banned, are they deleted? Or is it a test account? The range of missing IDs would indicate she was hatched from the nest of the deleted account and that person kept all those hatches, hence now they're all deleted. They must have hatched two nests at once, but then the chances of hatching them so fast you get all the dragons within that range... I don't think it's nest duplication either, given she's named. New theory: Dev shenanigans. [/quote] Banned accounts aren't deleted! You can see on a banned account's profile page that their comments section appears with 'Locked' instead of the usual commenting box. And their dragons still stay in their lair!

@xev oh yep sorry, my brain is just messed up from looking at all the numbers
