[Lorelei]

my kid had her account locked .. prob because we do alot of trading with eachother and live in the same house.. but nvm.. i am going on a big hiatus from fr... so done with lots of their bs... might return, might not

[Varethyn]

That royally sucks. I hope you can appeal to get it back but I do not blame you for stepping away after that

[Lorelei]

Appeal got denied because the langauge used in the appaeal "was clearly not written by the person owning the account" and well thats true but we tried to explain that my kid has down syndrome and cannot speak english and uses google transle and ai to help her make sense of sentenses.. but nope..

so well yeah im very mad now.. my own account did not got locked but well i dont feel like playing atm

[Dewclaw]

[Ana]

Got the flu really bad..be back to posting when im better

[GormanGhaste]

oh no, hope you feel better soon!

[Dewclaw]

Feel better soon! I'm fighting something off too. Have missed 2 days of work, and just can't breathe. Yesterday I was wheezing so badly and felt like I couldn't get enough air. Less wheezing today, but still down for the count. I'm pretty sure I caught it at work.

[Varethyn]

Sounds like a lot of us have been down on our health luck recently - mental on my side. Hope everyone recovers swiftly

[Ana]

Hope all will be better soon
Still under the weather here

Gonna throw my rants out there because I'm ready to explode after learning about an annoying "feature" from breeding that threw a wrench in my plans. Warning; negative wall of text incoming.

- I hate the feeding system. I get that it's a virtual pet site, but at the same time, it's such a dumb chore. It should be automatic so long as I have food for them, which I thankfully do. Dragons are supposed to be intelligent, right?
- I hate the customization menu. Being limited to a skin OR accent is dumb. Accents should be IN ADDITION TO skins, not either or. No excuse here considering they're just overlays.
- I hate familiar bonding's terminology. Oh, they're "tolerant" of the superior species that dominated them and turned them into pets? Outta here with that nonsense, you collectibles.
- I hate the limitations on breeding. Five pairs at a time, absurd cooldowns for most dragon types, and the fact I'm stuck creating only wind dragons without even realizing it just all suck.
- I hate that the hoard has such bad design over all. No search, no better sorting, no larger item count per page, can't sell stacked items over 99 without turning off virtual stacks, etc. It's so bad.
- I hate being limited to how many chests I can open at once. Why is there even such a limitation when other consumables don't have that limit? Absolutely no excuse.
- I hate the bestiary because it shows things I will never get. I mean, I could no-life the games and eventually buy one of those things, but still.
- I hate the treasure marketplace because... well, there's just nothing interesting 90% of the time. The other 10% is whenever I see a gene there that I want that somehow isn't cheaper in auctions.
- I hate the gem marketplace because it's so bloody expensive.
- I hate the auction house because I can never find a Red Gecko skin for female Guardians. I probably couldn't afford it if I found one anyway, but still.
- I hate Tomo's Trivia Tablet because the rewards are absolutely negligible. What's even the point?
- I hate Crim's Collection Cart for the same reason.
- I don't hate Pinkerton's Plundered Pile. I've gotten some neat things from him.
- I would still hate Swipp's Swap Stand, but they added a way to just get what you want without the dumb RNG. W move right there.
- I don't hate Roundsey's Raffle Roulette. That's just normal gambling. Good thing is isn't a site for children.
- I hate Baldwin's Bubbling Brew because it's rare that a neat new familiar or two comes out. I want my collectible creature addiction to be sated further.
- I WOULD hate Sophie's Splendid Stitches, but we got mimic plushies this year. You're tolerable for now, Sophie...
- I mildly hate Fiona's Fantastic Familiars for the same reason I hate the bestiary; I see things I will never be able to obtain/afford.
- I hate how Arlo's Ancient Artifacts rarely gets new content. We need more of these. Yes, I like archaeology minigames.
- I don't hate Galore's Glorious Gifts, but I hate that they don't give him more of a purpose on most holidays/events.
- I hate the Fairgrounds because these have been the same games for god knows how long. Make something new already! Also up those rewards!
- I have a whole host of complaints about the Coliseum, but I'll summarize; it's boring as hell. The only thing I like is how you equip your attacks.
- I hate that Mith familiars have more curve variety than female humanoid familiars. Yes, I too like big fluffy moth hips, but come on. Male familiars get a wide range of body types, but not female familiars?

Then there's the things I hate about dragons in general;
- There is a SEVERE lack of wingless dragons. Cirrus were a good start, but are absolutely not enough. I want a Lung dragon.
- There is a SEVERE lack of dragons with less than six limbs. There are tons of interesting ideas for non-standard dragons (aka not generic European dragons), but Flight Rising plays it safe to a fault.
- I dislike how Imperial dragons have wings. They shouldn't have wings, and they are the reason I will probably never have a Lung dragon.
- I dislike how Skydancer dragons have a mix of feathers and membranes. That is such a dumb design choice; pick one or the other!
- I dislike how Spiral dragons have wings. Same complaints as with the Imperial dragons.
- I dislike how Auraboa have six wings. The two smaller pairs look so out of place.
- I hate Veilspun dragons in general. They look so bad. They would look thousands of times better if they didn't have that scraggly Gollum hair. I would give them a pass if they didn't have wings due to the Medusa tertiary, but that'll never happen.
- The biggest issue I have regarding dragons; I hate how you can't hide parts of the body that are CLEARLY meant to be hidden when using some skins. Those blueprint wings are so atrocious and ruin so many good skins, like Squall Rasa for Gaoler and Hoarfrost Mauler for Ridgebacks. I know I use "hate" quite frequently in this long rant, but for this specific note? I mean it with extreme emphasis. I would ignore 99% of my dislikes if this ERROR was rectified.

After all is said and done, it's not that I dislike the site or the concept. Just a whole lot of little things that are annoying and/or bad, and the developers clearly hate convenience. I probably have more things to complain about, but this is plenty for one post. Probably too much. Merry Christmas, everyone! Hope the sick and ailing get well soon.
