Update: Emergency Maintenance

Friday, March 31, 2023 19:14 Server Time

Hello everyone! We have another update for you regarding today's emergency maintenance.

This was an attempted XSS attack. We were able to interrupt the attacker while they were in the middle of probing for vulnerabilities in our site's defenses. At this time, we have no reason to believe that player or employee information is compromised by this attempt.  If you are concerned about financial information, Flight Rising does not store any of your financial information. All gem purchases are handled by either Paypal or our credit card processor, Braintree.

In the interest of the security of the Flight Rising website and our employees' well-being, we are keeping the site in the emergency curtains-down maintenance overnight. It's important that we monitor the site when we come out of maintenance and it's currently after 10 pm for much of our team. Tomorrow we will have more information for you about what happened today, along with an update on the Mistral Jamboree extension.

I’m crying, this is so funny, who was the brave one who publicly called him gilf

[frttthings]

can I change my dragon's color?

You can change a dragon’s colours by using a Tri-Color Scatterscroll. This will change all three colours of your dragon and is available in the gem marketplace for 350 gems.

[verdant-fr]

Notably, this is a random color change in all three colors. You will not be able to direct how the colors change in any way, shape, or form.

“fuse stop reblogging your old art” i shan’t, look at my son

Sometimes I think about how there's no conflict in my lair. Zero. And even all the way back to when I joined in 2016, I don't think I had much at all. I've always just had a little group of dragons who all got along and enjoyed their time together. A small clan of merchants who support each other. Half a dozen perma-babies and their exhausted but loving babysitter. Extremely neon, extremely positive dragons of various flights chilling together.

It makes me thankful for how open-ended Flight Rising is. Someone can have a whole lair filled with shade-touched dragons and Emperors. Someone else can have an elaborate royal family. They could have an entire city with a fully fleshed-out economy and specific jobs or just a couple of dragons who happen to be in the same room.

There's so much you can do and it's all equally valid. When we say there are no wrong answers, we're telling the truth. Anything goes. Enjoy your dragons in whatever way you like best, "good writing" be damned.

[adony-eats-bugs]

This is another great example of how I can introduce THE FOUR CLANS of my lair to people like "here's the tea, all of this stuff happens, the shade is there, everyone is somewhat edgy"

And then that person will be be like "Cool this is my capsule dragon!! He's full of ketchup."

And it's really so beautiful. There's so much variety in lore. You can have a clan that sticks close to canon, or you see people completely freestyle writing. And both are so fun to read

[verdant-fr]

My cult town and fairy circus on a island around a pillar shard? Causing hijinx cause the extra energy is spilling everywhere so some ghosts and forest spirits got really powerful soaking it up and are now imposing their will and themselves on the living clan members of the island one way or another? Totally valid, really only a little out there. People just accept some dragons have airships, gods, sentient household objects, villains, heros, shops, criminal records, jailhouses, homes, habits, extra appendages, anything. It just all flys... Except snapper, except when they do anyway lol

Flight rising said trans rights! (for 4$)

[crabby69-fr]

Cries over all the g1s I’ve adiosed over gender 😔

[mobian-fr]

I’m actually kinda surprised to see people like the female pose over the male one for Gaolers. The male has longer claws and curlier horns, also the female one’s neck pose and fluff makes the head look smaller which I don’t like.

Mostly I just really like the big old claws though.

[verdant-fr]

The boys use their tail as a mock-dick, female pose gaolers forever for me tbh

[floralace-fr]

Now we need a tertiary gene that’s lines of stitches along the contours of a dragon’s body, so we can either plushify any dragon, or make some truly grim creations

[verdant-fr]

And button eyes!

[heckling-hydrena]

I’m not gonna block tumblr user terfsrising (yeah. yeah) only because I want that little pissbaby bigot to see whenever I post my trans dragons in the main tag

[heckling-hydrena]

I realized their blog doesn’t show up in searches so here’s a direct link so you can block them more easily. stay safe friends <3

[brahkest-fr]

Finally getting around to drawing some fan dragons of mine and I have no idea what possessed me to think a metal gear derg with complex ass armor was a good idea like

I’m physically turning into gelatin and I no longer have bones

[verdant-fr]

Tragically just have excellent tastes

[gimmethemprimals]

Someone PLEASE take inspect element away from me, I have too much power now

[hungrytundras]

Since old players getting older was in the news recently, I'll mention:

To my great shame I've stopped poking around in the intro forums like I used to because once I saw someone with an ID in the 500000s and it broke me right in half.

[nabesima]

You know, sometimes I think about how one day in 2015, FR devs went “listen what if we add different colors to our colors” and so PoiTox were created and pretty much started a completely new era in Flight Rising gene/dragon design. I may not be a huge fan of PoiTox themselves but I always appreciate them for being the genes that started the “accent” gene trend.

(Also I now realized that PoiTox are almost 5 years old and my brain does a bad job processing that)

[nabesima]

The “time is an illusion” FR club is in full swing. See y’all next Saturnday.

[hungrytundras]

FIVE YEARS??????????????

[nabesima]

With every animal “apparel” update, Capybara gains power… of friendship, of course.

[windforge]

friend most powerful indeed

[snapperbear]

The happiest Bean!

[toad-fr]

I love that the one cat is snuggling with the crocodile

[pious-fr]

finally realised what the next ancient breed reminded me of

[viperfishy-fr]

Preface: i'm sure some people love the new gene, its not BAD, this is just my 8:00am thoughts

In my opinion, the gene would be improved if:

1) it broke the lines more; as it stands the linebreaks are so minimal that it feels accidental on the few breeds that it aftually does break lines on

2) there was some semblance of like... Organization? Like if they were sort of organically clustered or if the size varied by location on the anatomy and wasnt just randomly dotted around, but idk

3) the shading on the scale things made more sense. The way its sort of random makes it feel like they were just sort of copy/pasted with no regards to whether theyd look good in that spot
