Flight Rising Discussion

Just stumbled across an old screenshot of the old scrying pool/predict morphology. Surprisingly not much has changed, other than the addition of element/eye tabs and some prettier graphics. [img]https://i.imgur.com/dLLagdV.png[/img] Anyone else have old FR pictures? Old auction house/the auction house PM flood/old lairs/etc.?

I have this screenshot I took before the profile update (sorry about the blurriness, idk why the resolution is so low) [img]https://i.imgur.com/eAbGpbZ.jpeg[/img]

[center][img]https://i.ibb.co/zGGGSLh/fr-dragons-by-season.png[/img][/center] Omg, I found one by scouring old messages lol. I probably used to have a million FR screenshots (including just of my lair with no crops or edits), but unfortunately I've lost a lot of data from ~2016 and before. Not sure when exactly this was taken, but this is before they changed the familiar icon to a more universal heart symbol, and less noticeably before they made dragons break the tops of their borders for that visual pop! Also note the lack of hibden icon and the old "arrange" icon in place of the cog. And the admittedly cooler feed icon. I might do a side by side comparison with this screenshot after work, especially because I still have all these dragons and would just need to arrange them like this again [emoji=familiar heart size=1] So nostalgic, thank you for making me find this! I look forward to seeing the rest of the thread o7

I don't personally have any except for the old profile, but you can find some cool ones on the wayback machine!! for example, here are some quick screenshots I just did of the front page and the earthshaker's profile, from 2014 [img]https://i.ibb.co/pbK4763/Screenshot-2024-05-03-105944.png[/img] [img]https://i.ibb.co/x3ThBHk/Screenshot-2024-05-03-105816.png[/img] not that much has changed tbh! but the colour schemes are all definitely a bit nicer nowadays :)

Speaking of the wayback machine, I went to check on the site on the day we joined...

[quote name="Squiddyana" date="2024-05-03 12:19:22" ] how old is this site!? [/quote] Beta testing took place in laaate 2012, with the site hosting a kickstarter in 2013 to receive funding for a public launch! They then opened the site to the public with registration windows from 2013 onwards I believe. Some more fantastic images I found: [img]https://web.archive.org/web/20130315001337im_/http://flightrising.com/dropbox/familiars/preview_familiar_banner.jpg[/img] Old logo and all! Man! Imagine FR without familiar bonding? [img]https://web.archive.org/web/20130315001337im_/http://flightrising.com/dropbox/beta_live.png[/img] From December 2012. Gah we just love old internet stuff? (Unfortunately we don't have any screenshots of our own so... these are our offerings lol)
