We have been watching the feedback closely over the last few months, and agree that the lair expansion costs were getting fairly exorbitant in the upper tiers, and becoming very restricting on your decision-making when buying or breeding dragons. While we still want to retain somewhat of a challenge in reaching these space limits, we have decided to do a few things to smooth this process out:
  • Lair Size Limit has been increased to 125.
  • The cumulative treasure total to achieve the previous 99 slot limit has been spread out over this new amount, with some balancing and tweaking.
  • The dragon energy decay rate has been increased from 1 energy every six hours to 1 energy every eight hours. This should more-or-less allow everyone to still retain their energy bonuses in much the same manner as they did with a cap of 99.


Many of the mid-range upgrade tiers have been deflated some to make these goals easier to obtain, while still keeping an upward curve as you go higher. To accompany this change, we will also automatically be updating your lair so that your available space correlates with how much you've already paid into the new system.
