Team Contest sign ups are now open! Anyone who would like to participate in this event simply needs to add a comment below saying you'd like to participate. Once the sign up period is over, you will be assigned a team to earn points for! As always, we will try to make sure everyone is assigned a different Team from the ones they've gotten in previous years.



For those who've never taken part in the Team Contest, here's a basic rundown. There are four different teams in the competition: Team Blue Audril, Team Green Trido, Team Red Dovu, and Team Yellow Sharshel. Once the competition begins, Users can earn points for their respective teams through various activities such as Questing or restocking Items. At the end of the competition, the winning Team will receive some fun prizes!

There's no limit to how many people can join the Team Contest! Just make sure you sign up before June 9th, 23:59:59 IcePets Time.

A new Restock Race has begun!
You will need to purchase 14 Mini Plain Muffins from the Mushroom Shops before next Saturday. The Ichuan with the fastest time wins. Remember your timer starts with your first purchase of the item, Good luck!

We've been working behind the scenes for the last few months updating the Transfers pages. We had several goals: Give Transfers a consistent look across the various transfer types Give access to past transfers, both incoming and outgoing Replace the outdated and limited Past Transfers section of the Bank Each of the Transfer types (items, WC, CWP, and bulk) now have sub tabs that provide access to Incoming, Outgoing, Past Incoming and Past Outgoing transfers for that type. Previously some types did not show any history, or hid them elsewhere on the site. (looking at you, Bank ;) Transfers are cleaner and more consistent Lastly big thanks to everyone for your patience after we rolled out the Bank changes yesterday while we put the final touches on Transfers. Y'all are the best °.

It's that time of year again! Signups for the Team Contests will be starting up soon, so get ready for two whole weeks of competitive fun! If you're new to this event, you're in for a great experience. Keep a close eye on the News for more info in the near future!



For those who've been involved in the Team Contest before, you know how this works, but here is a refresher just in case!

Restocking for the Team Contest will include every shop except for the Golden Touch and Snow Jar Igloo. Users will be rewarded points based on the rarity of the items they purchased!

Here is the number of points you'll earn for items of a given rarity:

R1 = 1 point
R2 = 2 points
R3 = 3 points
R4 = 4 points
R5 = 5 points



Questing for the Team Contest will remain unchanged; as usual, all Users will receive 10 points for every Quest they finish, and all Quests will raise their daily limits to 20 quests per day. And as usual, you'll also be able to use Quest Extenders throughout the event!



Ready for some intergalactic Questing? From today until June 5th, 23:59:59 IcePets Time, the Space Quest will be offering twice as many questing opportunities and prizes! Stock up on some food from the Glacial Grocer and pick up some toys from the Toy Trunk while the opportunity lasts.



The seasons are changing, and with them, the Token Booth stock has swapped over! Welcome the brand new Sizzle Stamp, Summer Traptur Plush, and Wabby Profile Skin, which can all be purchased with tokens.



By the way, we've packed away the Spring Goodie Bag for the rest of the season! If you missed out on any of the older Summer Token Booth Items last year, you can try to find one in the Summer Goodie Bag.

In today's Developer Update, we review our current site refactor plans, progress, and a new system we're developing for you!

Baldwin's Art Update

Launching today with this Developer Update, Baldwin over at Baldwin's Bubbling Brew has received an art update! If you can¢t see his updated art, please be sure to clear your browser¢s cache.

Refactor Progress Update

The refactors for Clan Profile and Gathering are almost complete! While a refactor isn't a UI overhaul, when these launch you may notice some slight changes to the UI for the sake of styling consistency with the rest of the site. This is particularly true with the Clan Profile refactor which, as we covered in the last Developer Update, is receiving a little bit of a ¢glow up¢ in the process. We'll be sure to communicate those changes when we launch these refactors.

With Clan Profile specifically, we have been using many of your volunteered profiles to stress-test the conversion and make sure we can retain your lovingly-crafted formatting as much as possible. Unfortunately, there will be some rare instances where formatting may break or spacing might be off or different¢with so many thousands of uniquely formatted profiles, it¢s impossible to achieve 100% perfect transition. We apologize now, in advance, for that inconvenience, and thank you for bearing with us while we update the underlying code to one of Flight Rising¢s oldest pages.

As you all know, we made this year a focal point for wrapping up as much of our remaining refactor work as possible¢well, we¢re thrilled with the current progress and pacing of the project and we're looking forward to finally calling it complete. There¢s just a bit more to do, but the light is definitely visible at the end of the refactor tunnel!

After we launch the Clan Profile and Gathering page refactors, the next pages on our list to refactor are Nesting Grounds and with it, the Breeding System. The breeding system, as we would all commonly agree, is Flight Rising¢s backbone, so extra love and care are being taken in replacing it.

Clearing these off our plate allows the team to fully focus on new features and any remaining feature revamps we haven¢t been able to tackle due to working on two codebases.



Coliseum PVP

Yes, it¢s still in development! We apologize for such a long silence on this one. Coliseum is one of the beefiest, most complex systems on the website, so much of the work has been spent really getting in the guts to make sure that PVP not only functions properly, but is built smartly and modularly enough that we can make updating it and expanding it easier in the future. For example, we¢re building the PVP system with open-ended multiplayer flexibility in mind. Building it in this way retains the potential for fun things like tournaments or even cooperative play, but we don¢t have details or plans to share with you today on that part.



New NPC Shop System

As mentioned during last year¢s Warrior¢s Way, we¢ve wanted to add a flexible NPC shop system where we as content developers can spin up any number of NPC merchants and stock them with unique items¢perfect for seasonal holidays and especially for ever-growing annual events like Warrior¢s Way and Night of the Nocturne. Shops are being built a lot like trades you would see at Swipp¢s Swap Stand, where the merchant can ask for anything¢items, treasure, etc.¢as payment. This allows us to rethink many of the randomized elements of our existing events and give players a little more agency over item acquisition.

Work is underway on this system, and we are planning to have it in place for trading related to this August¢s Warrior¢s Way.

While this system was created with Warrior¢s Way in mind, it will support an ever growing and often changing cast of colorful NPCs eager to trade all year long. Even Joxar is joining the fun! If development timing permits, the Festive Favors stall will become the very first to function on this new system during Thundercrack Carnivale.



A Final Note On Our 9th Anniversary Celebration

Because our engineering team has been devoting attention to wrapping up the refactor projects on our slate, we want to let you know in advance that this year¢s anniversary event is a little more low-key compared to previous years. There won¢t be any new major events or features, but we still have plenty of cool stuff to share with you to ring in another successful and amazing year on Flight Rising. While we know this might be disappointing to some of you, the decision was made in line with our commitment to an anti-crunch philosophy. Regrettably, COVID has also played a factor for some team members and their families, and we needed to make sure they were given ample time to heal before heading back to work.

So, don¢t worry¢We¢ve still got gifts for you! It¢s more that we need you to know in advance that this year¢s anniversary event won¢t quite be the two week affair of discovery and hype like last year¢s.

The Persona of the Week Contest has been judged! Congratulations to Khorx on winning this week's competition.
