Brief Flight Rising registration opening!

[alias_sqbr]

The game that's filled my Glitch emptiness the best has been the dragon breeding game Flight Rising. I haven't posted about it here because registrations were closed, but they are open today/tomorrow for a few hours: Tuesday, September 3rd from 5:00AM to 8:00AM PST. They plan to try opening registrations again after that once they see how the servers handle the load, so if you miss out subscribe to the tumblr etc and you should be able to get in eventually.

It's not inherently social, but is a lot of fun if you play with friends and swap dragons and go "LOOK HOW PRETTY THIS ONE IS" etc. And the treasure grinding games are fun.

If any of you are already playing I'm sqbr there (lookit my pretty dragons!)

EDIT: some useful advice for creating an account

Just popping in to say this is all very good advice which I may link to instead of having to articulate any of it myself :D

Some other things I have learned that may not be relevant to you for a while: -it is much cheaper to buy a new dragon than try and change a dragon you already have via scrolls. So if you want to get new breeds or genes (like shininess or stripes) see how much such dragons cost at the AH (auction house) and save up for them or find someone willing to swap for something you already have. Dragon prices tend to drop over time. -Usually the best way to search the AH is to put 0 to 1000000 in the treasure boxes and "price ascending". -When you gather, different regions have different animals etc, try and gather a bit from all the different regions so you have a range of stuff to sell to Crim. -it is a pain to find someone from just their username, always give your lair number as well (or a link). -exalting is a quick way to make money from unwanted dragons, but you can usually make more money by selling them and it is a BAD IDEA to exalt your progenitors. -different breeds have different colliseum fighting styles (eg faes tend towards magic, guardians towards physical damage) and it's often easier to get a new dragon than respec one you already have. You need at least 3 named adult dragons to fight, the rewards are usually pretty small but sometimes you get familiars/chests etc.

And I also have way too much fun opening chests to sell them :)

Good to know I can just open chests. I was worried that there might be better times to open them or something like that, not whether it was better to open or sell as mysteries. (Anything with variable contents is going to have a market; I'm not going to be interested in that market anytime soon.)
