Flight Rising Discussion

I remember I joined just before the new color wheel expansion, and I thought XXXs were super expensive. I also thought ALL gen 1s were expensive, and that dressing dragons was a luxury I could not afford.

[quote name="Litha" date="2022-01-02 16:42:22" ] Got in on a small reg window in 2013! No special eyes, and irishimcirc was the ONLY acceptable gene combo ;) [/quote] Omg Iri/Shim was everywhere. [emoji=imperial laughing size=2]

I right before expanded color wheel update. I remember that the newest apparel was the samurai armor sets. Bogsneaks came out shortly after and the site imploded I think.

OH ALSO THE REGISTRATION WINDOWS. I remember keeping tabs on the blog of the person who referred me so I could know when registration was open.

A lot of things have happened since I joined 6.5 years ago. Registration windows!! The first two years the site was up I missed the windows. I joined in one of the last actual windows iirc. I remember when there was no game database, the hoard/vault did not have little indicators/sorting options for Swipp/Baldwin/etc items. Couldn't stack things, and you had to use guides to make sure you were saving valuable items and not accidentally sending things to the void, permanently. Dragon profiles being vastly different, no ancients, the old color wheel and the absolute chaos that was when the color wheel came out and was amazing, coliseum updates galore! the big revamp made it actually usable on mobile and changed how I played the game. The Lair expansions, and the addition of the Hibernal Den and TABS. Dressing room, scry workshop update, saving morphologies/outfits!!! Oh did you know the predict morphology url used to be morphintime? I miss that. The tr:g ratio being like 1:800-950 [i]Bears[/i] NotN being overrun by the smirch gene. Baldwin's mutations and the general unbridled excitement, then I get my first Bogsneak eggs and I hatched an XYY [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/27115058][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/271151/27115058_350.png[/img][/url] So many genes and additions and wonderful new items and games!!!

I remember registration windows obviously
Vaguely remember the release of Bogsneaks and my first NotN

Somehow despite joining in March 2016 the first site anniversary I was actually around for was the release of Gaolers in 2019
I've vaguely heard of the color wheel expansion and the eye update but no clue what 2017's(?) anniversary was about

i think when i joined you could only make an account at a specific time each month? i remember scrying mirror dragons while waiting impatiently to register lol

my partner introduced me to the game and i made my account in march, but i actually started playing during the last couple days of mistral jamboree, and i had zero idea what it was or how to participate. they ended up gifting me the familiar since i don't think i ended up getting enough currency by the time i figured out how the festivals worked :,)

i remember being super confused by the map kit. i didn't realize it was just an accessory decorate your dragon, and i was like "map?? map for what? how do you use it??"

i also remember filigree was added around that time! i always thought it was one of the original genes like irishim and circuit :o

I remember, that Registration Windows were a thing, when I joined. I remember joining in the middle if Flameforgers. Also, it was later though, I witnessed the release of genes like Peregrine, Poison and Toxin and other stuff. It was late 2015 when I joined

I remember the obsession with XXX's and XXY's. I also remember specifically that red/red/gold was a huge thing and one of the most expensive dragons I ever bought. I remember when crystal came out and when nocs were released. I wasn't playing when coatls were released but my best friend was and I remember them so vividly. I remember how many dergs I had without a 3rd gene for a while.

When you would purchase something on the AH, it would be delivered via PM.

I remember when the expanded color wheel was announced the forum post was posted as ENIHSNUS and people went absolutely crazy.

Leveling dragons in the coli to build a coli team was miserable with all the lag.

Dragons were actually worth something. If you had a pretty/nice derg they would probably sell for between 25kt and 100kt depending on color/genes.
