Flight Rising Discussion

How do you do it, why do you do it? Do you forget dragons? I understand lore wise having a lot but I’m curious.

Normally a dragon I see and keep as perma strikes a feeling, sensation or even piece of lore at first sight, and thus I keep. Others simply look special/unique. I only forget those who are on the hibden because its very cluttered and with no tabs, but not because they are any less important. Theres some I fell out of love with, but Im waiting for a good owner to pass them on.
When I moved flights from nature to arcane, I got rid of some of my fodder breeders because the pink eyes didnt fit the hatchies, and others whose lore was strictly about nature. I also got a lot of new permas that I got easily attached to, splurging my savings into dressing them. I love keeping dragons and feeling like I saved them from being exalted or something.
Oh I also keep all the dragons that remind me of dreams Ive had, or have ellegiac auras. Its such a weird nostalgic feeling looking at them, but also very subjective x3
Now that I think about it, it seems that im trying to make my lair an extension of my dreams realm. No wonder that I ended up moving to arcane!

Well, I don't have [i]hundreds[/i], but I have a bit over 100 so I think my lair counts! For me, potential permas just need some unique quality that grabs my attention. [list] [*]Maybe it's a bit of lore that someone forgot to erase (like [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/18946352]this guy[/url], who came with subspecies lore and is the only one of his kind). [*]Maybe it's a cool color combo (like [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/42569990]this gal[/url] and half my lair, slated for exaltation) [*]Maybe it's from a project I completed and have grown attached to (like [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/67192686]this guy and his mate[/url], used to get a very specific color combo... and now I'm having a hard time selling/exalting them because I've grown attached). [/list] So yeah. My lair will no doubt grow as time goes on, and I'm already at the point where I had to hibden a bunch of my permas because I acquired so many new dragons. But tbh I'm okay with that! I wanted a large town/small city for my lair, and a huge population helps with that. As for keeping things straight, I write lore in their bios to keep things organized. Lair tabs have been a lifesaver, and I keep a spreadsheet so I can track how many of each breed/element/etc I have.

So many subspecies, so many linages, so many lore,
I needs them all

I just want all the pretty dragons and no, I don't forget them. I visit the ones in my hibden regularly.

I don't know this just happened

dragon pretty

See pretty dragons, want dragons. Get a new idea? Get new dragon. Sentimentality plays a part too, there's lots that if I saw them today I probably wouldn't buy them but since I've had them for so long I'm kinda attached. But for the most part it's literally just as simple as I want.

Lore plays very little part of it for me actually.

I don't do 'aesthetics', I don't do g1's, I don't train fodder, or anything to limit myself. I don't do any of that. That way I don't get bored. I have complete freedom to grab any dragon that strikes my fancy. That isn't to say I don't occasionally get rid of a dragon, because I do- especially now that space is more limited. I just like having dragons, I guess.

I have a ton of permas just because I don't feel the need to downsize. I like a lot of dragons, so I'm gonna show a ton of them off! A good portion of my permas are in my den so I don't have to feed them or anything. And I have den space for hundreds of fodder, so it's pretty easy to make room for new permas even if I don't have any permas I'm thinking of getting rid of at that moment.

The weyr has 93 Antiques, 54ish Ancients, 32 of my subspecies (3 are also Ancients), more than 70 Gazers (multi-gazers or primals and more crossovers here) a bunch of 7 digits and then more that just happened.

I need more slots. Seriously.

Edit: Oh yeah - and 124 level 25s, also many crossovers!
