Dev Tracker

Yes, the engineers were alerted as it was happening. Thank you!

Thank you for the report @aceofducks!

The DST change didn’t go as expected, but we are quite sure the next restock will trigger normally at 4:01. We are monitoring the situation to see if that happens.

Here are some technical details for the curious.

Two different unexpected outcomes led to Swipp’s shop not restocking when we thought it would:

1. A flaw in the restocking logic caused the restock before the DST change to expire earlier than expected. That logic should have applied to the restock after the DST change.
2. The restock function itself didn’t trigger when the time change jumped over it. This has more to do with how a particular server is set up to handle scheduled tasks, since different configuration s handle these edge cases in different ways.

While we expected Sinclair to hold down the shop during the DST switchover, it looks like he’s is going to fly solo a little longer than we anticipated!

We’re monitoring things to make sure the swap schedule kicks back in at 4:01 server time.

Depending on how that turns out, we may end up altering the swap logic for next year… or maybe we’ll leave it as-is and enjoy the young snapper’s annual takeover.

That's it for this week! Thank you for joining us and being a part of our community!

Our next cozystream will bring us to an explosive chapter of the main story. See you then!

@Gene Error Updates

The following corrections went in today:

Update

Thanks to the schedule change described above, the revamped Swipp's Swap Stand functioned as expected when Daylight Saving started at 2:00 server time on the 2nd of November, 2025.

On the 8th of March, 2026, Daylight Saving will end. The server clock will jump forward one hour from 2:00 to 3:00. This will instantly trigger a special Swipp restock, which will only last for a single hour (from 3:00 to 4:00). At 4:01, the normal Swipp restock schedule will resume.

There will be an expected downtime between 4:00 and 4:01 where trades will only be available through Sinclair. The Swipp's Swap Stand page will function, but may look odd with no offers.

Our casual community stream returns tomorrow, Friday, March 6th at 13:00 server time! (4:00 pm EST)

We're returning to Sandrock tomorrow over on Twitch. Come join us!

This is correct. Any accounts registered after your first account are registered in violation of our Terms of Use. If your first account was closed for rule violations, Support will let you know if you're eligible to return on one new account — which is the vast majority of players. An account closure is just that, a closure. It's not an individual ban from the site.

The examples in the Support article are there to provide additional clarity and do not supersede our Terms of Use.

We're going to go ahead and lock this thread now, as it's largely about the Terms of Use and Rules & Policies. Thank you!

Correct, because I'd checked the link that says click here and didn't realize the image also had a link >.<

Thank you for the heads up!

The link should be up to date, I checked that prior to posting, but I didn't check the image, hold just a minute!

Fixed, thank you!

Upside, the next time a Springswarm post is copy/pasted for the structure, these typos won't be there

Fixed, thank you!

@Scultone, @StratosPhantom, the Fiona section of the announcement is pulled. Our apologies for the confusion!

The Fiona section doesn't state they're new, just that she has familiars. I'm currently holding for more information. My apologies for any confusion!

Thank you! I'm holding for more information, as I'm flying solo today

Ooh, I missed a link. Thank you!

Have you heard what the buzz is all about? Insects are swarming across Sornieth, and bug-loving dragons everywhere are taking advantage of it!

Springswarm
Springswarm, one of Flight Rising's quarterly "micro-holidays", is in full swing! From Thursday, March 5th (06:00 Server Time) to Monday, March 9th (06:00 Server Time), all players will experience a couple of battle-related boosts!


Bountiful Battles
For the duration of Springswarm, all Coliseum enemies will have the chance to drop insect food items in addition to their normal loot. Other site activities such as gathering, breeding, bonding, brewing, and visiting some of the trading post dragons will also yield a chance at collecting some of the swarm! Dragon clans everywhere are taking this time to stock up on ants, bees, cicadas, caterpillars, butterflies, worms, beetles, and more to keep them satisfied until the summer time.



Battle EXP Boost
During the event, all battles will yield 50% additional EXP, so now is a perfect time for dragons to train. Grab your newest team and head out into battle!



A Swarm of Treasures!
Dragonkind are not the only ones taking advantage of the swarm. As the forests, jungles, and fields teem with life, enterprising critters rummage through the undergrowth. A few clever species of boar add their talents to this bug bonanza, using the moss and dirt to shimmy themselves into the perfect hiding spots among newly emerged Swarm Sovereigns and Devourers. For the duration of Springswarm, the boars will drop occasionally in the Coliseum and rarely during Insect Catching. The swarm companions will also drop from the Coliseum and rarely from all type of gathering activities.

Once the swarms have subsided, the swarm will migrate onwards, but there's a chance dragons may still encounter one or two boars while Insect Catching.

A vista and scene have a chance to drop in the coliseum and many other site-related activities.

Mistral Jamboree Skin Contest
The twelfth annual Mistral Jamboree will begin on March 23, 2026, and we're running a skin and accent contest in celebration! Please note that the contest ends on Wednesday March 18th, as we announced in a prior update!

Edit: Pulled copy from the 2025 announcement regarding Fiona to reduce confusion regarding familiars and feats.

Huh. Second thread today about codes.

Welp, let's get a lock on this thread so it stops being necro'd randomly.

Thank you for joining us this week! We've repaired the bridge, broke the totally-not-a-Gungam mobile suit, and met Banjo! And Banjo is a real cat Pathea put into the game!

Will we finish bridge repairs today? Our casual community stream is live in Sandrock over on Twitch, come join us!

@NettleGem, @harpyja, I've been given updated information — you'll want to click the three dots next to the blue Google ads arrow to get the 'stop seeing this ad' option. When you click on the arrow itself, it will let you see who the ad network is and provide you with an opt-out.

And an update on some of the recently reported casino ads, several of these are already banned; it may be a cache issue or the advertiser has mislabeled their ads to get as many eyes on the ad as possible.

That's a negative on the gambling ads. We don't want them. Report!

The blue arrow on the ad should empower you to stop the ad from showing for you while we work on blocking it. (that's an ad from the Google Ads network.)

I think I see a blue arrow in your screenshot? Which would mean it's an ad through the Google Ads network. You should be able to click the blue arrow and at least get it to stop showing for you while we work on identifying the ad on our end.

Tomorrow, Friday February 27th at 13:00 server time/4pm EST we return to Sandrock!

When last we left off, we'd retrieved the missing component needed for Qi's totally-not-a-Gungam mobile suit, built the totally-not-a-Gungam mobile suit, and handed it over to Heidi to finish repairing the bridge. What's next for our Builder, Bean?

Come join us tomorrow on Twitch and find out!

@Amberowl28, a ping for your new URL in the Bug Reports forum!

Please go through the standard trouble-shooting of clearing your browser cache. If that doesn't work, please report what you're experiencing with reproducible steps, as explained here by Kaepora. Thank you!

Oh, no, we definitely do not want adult ads on our website.

We're working on identifying the ad you reported, but because we only have a screenshot to work off of, it will take longer to identify it. Because it's a Google ad, that blue button gives you a modicum of control with reporting.

Starting with a new ad partner means our fill rate is currently low. This leads to the bottom of the barrel ads showing up, so the start is expected to be a little rockier than the norm.

Keep reporting the URLs of bad ads to this thread, and whenever you get a Google ad with the blue triangle button, you can also flag it to not show.

This is an ad through Google. If you click the blue triangle button, it should give you a "stop seeing this ad" option.
