Hi everyone!! I recently got some free time again after a long time and decided to try and pick up FR again. I've been here since like, 2015, 2016, though I stopped playing regularly sometime around 2019-ish. I kept up with the site for sometime after that, though the last really big update that I actually remember was the hoard/vault revamp sometime in 2020.
So, what've I missed? What's new? I really miss my little dergs and want to start playing again but there's so much I don't know about!! What kind of cool new stuff has been added since I was last here?
So much, just really a crazy amount of things lmao

Welcome back, you're just in time for NotN! I would definitely check out the post linked by Wisdum, between that and the
flight rising wiki you should be able to get caught up in no time. A big recent update is the on-site pinglist system, but it's still being tested and will likely have changes made so it better reflects what the community uses huge pinglists for. I see you're in Lightning, and as luck has it you guys recently got your first ancient,
the Sandsurge! Oh and one small update that can be easily missed, when we got the
world map revamp they added the ability to change you lair location by going to your clan profile and hitting the gear icon in the top right.
It doesn't look like Lightning has any upcoming announced pushes besides their festival, but I would definitely ask around in your flight forums and see what's changed there and what they have brewing. If it's at all similar to Water there's probably always something going on in the flight discord server.
Oh and I just noticed that you and I joined on the same exact day, our IDs are only about 20 apart! So welcome back to the site registration window buddy :D

Hi @Amaranth41, welcome back ! I've joined FR at the beginning of 2022, so I don't know well the updates prior to my account creation, but here's what's new from the top of my head :
[LIST]
[*] [b]Ancient dragons[/b] ! Especially [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/wiki/wiki/article/aberration-dragons][u]Aberrations[/u][/url] (Abbies for short), [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/wiki/wiki/article/aether-dragons][u]Aethers[/u][/url], [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/wiki/wiki/article/sandsurge-dragons][u]Sandsurges[/u][/url], [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/wiki/wiki/article/undertide-dragons][u]Undertides[/u][/url] and [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/wiki/wiki/article/auraboa-dragons][u]Auraboas[/u][/url] (or, as I like to call them, the noodles). A new kind of dragons breeds that get released more often, but can only breed between themselves & cannot be dressed up.
[*] Return of the [b][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/achievements][u]Achievements[/u][/url][/b] ! Objectives that give you Achievement Tokens once completed, which you can spend at the [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/exchange/acclaimed-achievements-association][u]Acclaimed Achievements Association[/u][/url].
[*] Speaking of the AAA, the [b][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/exchange][u]Grand Exchange[/u][/url][/b] ! A specific shop subsection, which includes all limited-time shops (Joxar, Arvelle, etc). It also hosts [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/exchange/sages-seasonal-sundries-autumn][u]Sage's Seasonal Sundries[/u][/url] (new place to buy the seasonal-themed apparel & items) and [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/exchange/g-and-g-genuine-genes][u]Glass and Gloss' Genuine Genes[/u][/url] (where you switch your Modern genes for their Ancient counterparts).
[*] Speaking of genes (wow I love smooth transitions), a [b]new naming scheme for genes[/b] has recently been implemented. Here's a screenshot of the official announcement, full info can be found [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/ann/3292095][u]here[/u][/url].

[*] Staying in the genes topic, so many [b]new genes[/b] came out, either for all breeds or Ancient-only ! I'm starting to get tired with the links so here's the [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/wiki/wiki/article/genes][u]Encyclopedia page for genes[/u][/url], as well as a few new pairs I can name from the top of my head : Harlequin/Jester (gem market), Tide/Foam (third Digsite), Cinder/Blaze (treasure market), Fern/Paisley (NOTN).
[*] Now that I've mentioned Tide/Foam, [b][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/trading/archaeology/dig-sites]new Digsites[/url][/b] came out ! I know [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/trading/archaeology/dig-site/2][u]Ancient Aerie[/u][/url] came out either before or shortly after my account creation, there now are [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/trading/archaeology/dig-site/3][u]Deepsea Dive[/u][/url] and [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/trading/archaeology/dig-site/4][u]Frozen Age[/u][/url] as well ! Each site has their own apparel, familiars, vista, background, and genes to dig out !
[*] [b]Beastclan lore rework[/b]. The FR team realized the dragon Flights - Beastclans relationships were problematic, and thus is working on improving this lore bit. For now, only the [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/wiki/wiki/article/beastclans-harpy][u]Harpy lore[/u][/url] is available.
[*] [b]NPCs artworks[/b] such as Tomo, Crim and Joxar have also been reworked. It was quite a shock at first, ngl, but I personally prefer the new artworks.
[*] Still [b]no PvP[/b] BUT ! The FR team has announced they are actively working on it. Fingers crossed.
[/LIST]
That's all I can remember from now, if other users have more news to add they're welcome. Hope this helps!

Everybody can bring you up to speed on everything else but NotN is coming up again and there’s been some big changes to it. I’ve been working on an updated guide to NotN here -
NotN for newbies and returners.
There’s also achievements for NotN now, such as opening up to as many as 250 chests and letting one turn to dust but just having nocturnal dust in your hoard also gets you the achievement
