I don't envy their position though, I must say. Whatever they do, it will be bound to piss someone off. They can't give us a lot of treasure as an apology, since that would just end up skewing the economy further, but they do need to somehow appease a bunch of angry people. Personally, I think giving everyone a free lair expansion would go some way toward making people happy. It won't happen of course, but it's what I would do if I was in a position of power there.
A free gene or scroll would be a nice enough care package for me. Just something that wont fuck up the already fucked up economy, ya know?
Oh definitely, I'd be happy with that too. Though I bet with my luck I'd end up with an iridescent gene and then I'd be all: :evil: :cry:

:lol:

Edit: Dew - Yes, although if people have only small lairs at this point in the game (no new members for a while), that is likely due to choice or lack of funds, in which case even they'd be happy about a free expansion. :)

AND it might inspire people to buy MORE dragons, which can only be good for the AH.

Hell, I'd be happy with a lair expansion; it'd save me having to grind up 50kt that I could spend on something much more fulfilling, that's for sure. :?

I admit I was kind of hoping for a breed scroll since that's what I would've been trying to grind for all this time. Though that's sort of laden with peril too since if they give people all the same breed scroll (say, Pearlcatchers), there are people would be all mad because maybe they already have enough/too many of them, or the people who maybe don't like them. And if they hand out random scrolls, that'd probably be even messier (I know some people don't like snappers, for example.)

I suppose they could give out Skydancer scrolls (since no one would have those and it would establish a prototype population) but they've said they won't be ready for a week yet so I don't know if I can see that happening either.

Maybe one of the new tertiaries? Those are both pretty darn cool, IMO.

I have a clutch waiting to hatch, assuming that time went forward properly....I'd love to see what i got. I'm not expecting a pretty pairing, but it should be unique if nothing else.

FR just posted concept art on FB. I must say their timing is not all that wonderful. Most users now are very frustrated and want only a site update. Concept art, while interesting and exciting, is not what's on most people's minds, and many see it as a diversion ploy. It sort of takes away from all the hard work the artist put in since the posting timing could have been better. :| The art does look terrific though.

At this point they seem to just be floundering in the dark, its getting more apparent with each post.

Where? The last quote I have on it is something along the lines of "fully completed on the weekend ending in the 11th." After that just cryptic hints of "whenever it's ready."

Right on the front page, thus hinting that they were intending to keep the site down longer than just the 11th while they test everything out.

It's been down for a week and it's STILL doing midnight maintenance...

EDIT: Or, rather, the entire server is down. Well then.
