Taking a break. I'll be back at this in a bit. This will be an ongoing update throughout the day (and probably night, haha)

The server migration will. I'm definitely taking several breaks, can't upload at the same time as the migration, and I need to sleep at some point!

An artist can win twice with this contest, but in this case the description is incorrect. The chimera was done by Chivalry. I updated teh tooltip immediately, but it will take some time for the site's internal cache to catch up.

I'll be taking several breaks throughout the day (and sleeping at some point) so the server update will definitely be a break time!

The coliseum is now able to drop skins directly, so these skins will not have crates! Holiday skins still will though, as they drop from the gathering system and have gems and treasure attached.

Of course!

The 2020 coliseum skin contest community participation was amazing! 123 new skins are now available for those who venture into the Coliseum!

Coliseum Skins
The 2020 Coliseum Skin Contest has finished being judged. These skins are a possible drop from defeating their respective Coliseum counterparts.

Congratulations to all of our winners!

The marketplace is one of the areas of the site that still needs to be rewritten to our current programming standard. (any area that doesn't have www1 in the front basically). As with all revamps, when we do it, we'll certainly be taking player feedback into account. If you'd like to add your voice to suggestions for this or any other area of the site, the Suggestions forum is the best place: This helps us to consolidate feedback into one place and is our nearly one-stop shop for when we begin planning a feature, quality of life update, or revamp!

Several parallel genes have made their way to the ancient breeds, and the first coliseum scene has been introduced!

Parallel Genes for Ancients

Several parallel genes are now available for ancient breeds! Stained is now available for Banescale, Gaoler, and Veilspun in the Gem Marketplace. Underbelly for Veilspun, Laced for Gaoler, Edged for Gaoler, Tapir for Banescale, and Striation for Banescale are now available in the Treasure Marketplace.

Golem Workshop Scene
Opponents in the Golem Workshop venue of The Coliseum now have a rare chance to drop a new Scene: Golem Workshop!

@neutrinope @SnakeJobs I believe we have fixed this issue, let me know if it is fixed or not for you!

Hi @neutrinope @SnakeJobs -- We're looking into it!

Hello @October - I think this is fixed now, thanks!

@Pyracantha @Knucklepuck I believe we have fixed this issue, thanks for the reports!

@ash233 I think this should be fixed now! Thanks for the report.

Hello all, this should be fixed now! Thanks for reporting it!

Today's maintenance starts at 06:00 server time TODAY. What will you be up to while the site's down?

Site Status has been updated to reflect the correct time: 06:00 server time! Thank you!

@Stormdance

We've got some exciting news to share with you! Over the next week, and ahead of the Frigidfin Expedition and Night of the Nocturne events, we're upgrading our servers!

Some of you might remember the last time the site had to transfer to new hardware. That was due to our current host acquiring our original host. We had a limited amount of time to prep and the transfer had to happen on the host company's schedule. This time we're upgrading our hardware and it's happening on our schedule. What this means for you is that instead of us taking the Flight Rising site down for an entire day (or days!), this migration will happen over the course of multiple maintenance periods.

Some important points to keep in mind as we move forward with the transfer:

1. We're moving the Flight Rising website to new server hardware.
2. This hardware has better specifications for Flight Rising's infrastructure needs.
3. This will happen over a series of maintenances to prevent taking the site down for entire day(s).
4. Some maintenances will be of an indeterminate length.
5. We're doing this over a period of time instead of all at once, because we can.
6. Shortly before and for a short while after each maintenance, gem purchases will be disabled to avoid gem delivery issues or dropped purchases.
7. The first maintenance will start on Thursday December 3rd at 06:00 server time.
8. The second migration maintenance will be on Monday December 7th at 06:00 server time.

If another maintenance is needed, it will be on either Tuesday the 8th or Wednesday the 9th ahead of the mini-holiday. Should a migration maintenance be needed after that—barring an urgent or emergency issue—it will happen in between the Frigidfin Expedition and Night of the Nocturne.

We'll keep you updated on the progress of the server migration as we go. Thank you for your patience while we work to get the site up, over, and running on the improved hardware!

Galore just needed a minute to get all the gift bags together, but eventually all the gifts came in.

Thank you for your patience!

@Sancuarium, hanging in there. Reading through Veilspun feedback (thank you!), prepping updates, and plotting planning. You know, the usual.


@Flutterbi, I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. Losing a parent is hard, please know you're not alone in this.

And if you haven't yet, remember to stop by Galore to pick up your gift—it expires tomorrow, Thursday November 19th at 09:00 server time!

Oh for your flight.

I was going to say "have nightmares of Facebook loading wheels on the brand page" but that's more a general Flight Rising thing for me, not specific to a flight.

I can confirm the A/A/B convention and its disruptive harshness is intentional. It's not meant to be a standard nursery rhyme.

That being said, @MegaAbsols, thank you for your feedback. It means a lot to hear you enjoyed it.

(editing to add: I moved this from the Suggestions forum to FRD because this isn't a gameplay mechanic or feature suggestion )
(edit 2: don't post pre-coffee )

The hover price is the hoard sell value, not the marketplace value, which is 10x that! So if you want to know how much any item would sell for in the marketplace, just add a 0!

@Orianel @Insani Dragons that got the 25-day cooldown should be fixed now!

@SquidMage @Chrisondra

We have done our best to track down the Veilspun dragons that got the 25 day breeding cooldown instead of the 20, even those that used a Swiftbrood Boon. I believe the dragons you both linked to are correct now. Let me know if something still looks off. Thanks!

@SquidMage, if you could post this in the Bug Reports forum so the engineers can take a look, that would be great. I did forward this but please include links to the dragons, when they last bred, etc. Thank you!

Some comments from this thread have removed, including one that were replying to or quote-replied rule-breaking posts. Thank you.

@SquidMage, what breed was the dragon before it was changed to a Veilspun?

But we're trying to be transparent with fixes! (It's fixed for a second time, but may take a moment to populate!)
