My Flight Rising account was made on September 3, 2013, which was NOT a dozen years before the time of this video recording but instead 10 years and 8 months. My bad. I don't want to think about it!!
So glad to see some flight rising again, I personally had like... A two-ish year break from the game and after getting back to it in 2021-ish been consistiently playing with just lil daily tasks without feeling burnt out
Your description of Neopets was hilarious. "An accident that we are all addicted to" made me cackle. I also really agree about only doing fun activities on Flight Rising and online in general. I would see people on the forums recommending Glimmer and Gloom because "it only takes 30 minutes" and I still never did it because listen, I am not in the market for more chores. I appreciate your advice to keep an eye on behaviors that indicate/contribute to bad moods. I hadn't thought of doing that before but I will plan to start keeping an eye out for those types of behaviors. It sounds like it could help interrupt those bad moods.
I am so happy you enjoyed that joke, it made me laugh too and it was all worth it to know that you also liked it. Glimmer and Gloom for "only 30 minutes" makes me want to puke!! I'm not here to waste 30 minutes of my life on something I don't enjoy. :)
Finished the video! I loved your Ted talk tangent about only doing what you enjoy. I think this video was helpful for me now as an older player and I think it would be helpful to those starting out. I had a total déjà vu moment where you were talking about leveling in the coliseum and totally related to the notion of setting up a play session and just walking away 15 mins into it lol. I related a lot to what you said and really appreciated your candid takes and advice.
FR content YAY!! this site really is a monstrous thing and I love that. I know most of Tomo's trivia, thats how much I'm invested in this monster. My biggest bad habit is checking Crim's cart a LOT of times, I trade mostly trinkets and food but its a big impulse to go there when a new hour comes. I do love the pursuits and I understand how it can get overwhelming but I never had that issue. I ignore the ones regarding dressing up, coli and jigsaw (cuz I only play on mobile). The achievements are a big thing for me (as was collecting all familiars) but my passion will always be nesting and hatching dragons. I would be ok if everything else was taken away but that :)
Oh my gosh! Thank you for the FR content! Always looking to be more optimized on FR, which I joined in 2019! I started gen1 collecting because of your channel last year 😊 this is so fun
"If you do not tame the flight rising beast it will take over everything" I am friends with a handful of Dominance beasts. And by beasts I mean they will literally order merc orders from the flight for the meme. The meme. One of them ordered so many dragons from us during Water's wavecrest push that she made her own raffle to reward the people giving him dragons. Checking Water's OOF leaderboard the merc orders let him send in over 17k dragons and nearly 90K LEVELS. FOR THE MEME 😭😭😭
Sounds really healthy of you and I can relate to a lot of what you said. I play a lot of Wolvden, it kinda helped me during Covid lockdown (the site opened in 2020). I'm not a super hardcore player but I did enjoy the grind of trying to get my wolves to have high stats. I also had to have the realisation to just go and live my wild beautiful life. A lot of Wolvden is now more optimised, so I can feed and play with all my wolves in about 5 mins, other tasks I have to check back during the day but I don't care if I forget to do them. I only rollover during events because that's fun to me.
Im currently on hiatus from flight rising because i find it doesn't respect my time. So much wrist damaging clicking. The economy is primed to reward hours and hours of grinding and to punish any of the activities that reward playing the market. Anytime i bring that up i get told to just play glimmer and gloom or learn to draw. If your entire economy is based on one faire ground game or learning a whole irl skill your site needs re balancing.
I think that it is a worthy critique that glimmer and gloom shouldn't be the greatest source of income for users on the site. I do think there are other good ways to generate treasure as well. I don't play for longer than 15 minutes on most days and I still make enough treasure and gems to afford whatever I want.
@@PSJuliehonestly I don't get why they don't raise the payouts a little on the other games. Like I actually enjoy doing the jigsaw puzzles but the payout is abysmal lol
thank you so much for this video!!! my account is 11 years old and all i do is gather items and breed dragons 😭 i can navigate Neopets just fine but not FR or Marapets
Also the entire point if the game is to have dragons. The idea that one of the few ways to make treasure is to sacrifice lair space to hoard dragons to exalt to me defeats the purpose of the game. It basically forces you to either get carpel tunnel grinding for food to sell in the coli or sacrifice hige amounts of expensive lair space holding dragons you dont even like. Im convinced most people eho insist on coli grindjng as an 'easy' way to make money are useing bots or auto clickers.
@@PSJulieI used to be able to sell dragons for decent treasure but the removal of eyes as a rarity enhancer means you either have to breed to appeal to the most general audience you can and still might not sell because there are so many dragons on site, turn your dragons into a virtual puppy mill to just produced trash dragons to mass exalt or spend time maintaining a hatchery and hope you break even. I'm a decade long player and at this point the only way to make money that won't give me a repetitive stress injury is flipping old dragons and even that makes me a villain to the player base who just despises anyone who puts any higher value on rare dragons. Unless adventure mode finally comes out and gives me some way to make treasure with less clicking I'm out for good
What is this straight boy mic holding edgelord energy you're bringing into the studio today Julie?? Edit: my account is approaching a dozen years and I'm like *what*
I loved FR but it was way too catered to scalpers. The marketplace only stocking 20 or so new items an hour was ridiculous. I would rather just subscribe $5-10 a month to play then spend 6 months to get a new item or give up and buy a pdf drawing of clothes for $10 a piece

The Flight Rising burn out risk is real!

@@PSJulie RIGHT like yeah, let me put Glimmer and Gloom on my to-do list, right underneath "dishes." No thanks!
Im so glad you are a youtuber who talks about these types of games!
thank you!

Same! I love breeding dragons. :)
I started Flight Rising in 2014! This video was so wonderful and I am so happy you love the game as much as I do. Water for life!

I love this perspective! Thank you so much for sharing your wolvden experience. :)
AHHHH So excited to watch ❤ love the FR content as always
omg yes I was hoping for this video!!
I hope you enjoy it!
Ooh, are you making this a series for each game you play?
I only play these two games right now, but I was considering trying one for Dappervolk and Lioden too. :)
@@PSJuliea lioden one would be cool!

I feel like neopets could learn a lot from flight rising.
I agree!

omg thank you! :)

I'm able to sell dragons for quite a bit of treasure! I enjoy the dragon churning part of the game. :)
