Morning folks. I've bought diamonds for Dragon's Prophet before, and had no problem. But today, I bought some platinum, but for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to either convert it to credits, or how to use the platinum to buy diamonds directly. When I go the "shop" if only gives me two options to buy diamond, and both require credits. Is there something wrong with the shop right now? Or am I missing something? Thanks!

I issued a ticket, and one of the guys fixed the problem right quick. Thanks!

Due to excessive account sharing, and issues that have arisen because of that I have had to change it so that 2-Factor Authentication has gone from being a recommendation to being a requirement.

To learn what 2FA/2-Factor Auth is you can read it here: What Is Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)? - Authy

This has been done for the following reasons:

• Players who have shared accounts get banned because we ban all accounts banned users have access to. This also bans all accounts they try to bypass the server on.
• Players have their accounts wiped or equipment/shards/diamonds stolen either due to trusting the wrong person, or retaliation for a falling out.
• Players sharing accounts and being flagged for multiple accounts by someone who tries to bypass account restrictions; depending on the number of accounts it is easier to ban all accounts and deal with individual tickets later.
• Rare instances of players who have had accounts actually hacked; this has been extremely rare and is a case by case basis of users sharing passwords from past servers or re-using passwords.
  • I have also enabled HaveIBeenPwned and a few other services for checking for compromised accounts, so some people may start getting alerts about this.

The current options set up for 2FA allow for email, app based auth through Authy/Google Authenticator or similar services, or physical security/passkeys such as Yubikey.

Once we release source code, we may look at adding 2FA requirements and device whitelisting to Dragon's Prophet and possibly Dragon Saga.

Ao Pu is the second of the four new Chinese Dragons that are coming to Dragon's Prophet. This is an original concept of @Aiden that was done to be opposite of Chi Fu and was meant to have a theme of holiness, light and purity. This also served as a test for playing around with making opalescent textures that play well with Dragon's Prophet graphics. The colors used for the emissive layer are all borrowed from @Annimora and her Crystalline Chaos submission Opal Wind.

Players who have Ao Pu will get the title "The Holy Judge". This Dragon will also come with the Adept Dragon Tamer skill.

Thanks to @Compeador for helping with the names and @Heroine for help with the compendium.

Here is the final version of Amarok, the Revenant, the second Phantom that Aiden has textured from the Phantom Coloring Event. The original concept is by @Predagirl, though there have been some adjustments and refinements in details like with other textures.

Like all exclusive Dragons Amarok, the Revenant will have the Adept Dragon Trainer skill.

Here is the latest Dragon that Aiden has been working on: Zuo Ran, the Lover's String, the last of the two new Oriental Dragons. A pink noodle has been a request we've had or seen for years, so we figured we'd try to get one done for Valentine's day. This has all same texture modifications as Yan Yu. This Dragon borrows the concept of the Red Thread of Fate from Chinese/Japanese lore.

Players who have Zuo Ran will receive the title "Fated Love". This Dragon will also come with the Adept Dragon Tamer skill.

Here is the latest Dragon that Aiden has been working on: Yan Yu, the Cosmic Emperor, the first of two new Oriental Dragons. The idea was to do a texture similar to Galactic Storm (who now needs an update) and to refine and re-do a lot of the muddy texture quality on the existing noodles. Some of the changes made to the texture is new scale pattern for the face to fix the previously muddy quality, removal of furs except along the back, and adjustment to the eyes so that you do not have the random pupil drift.

Players who have Yan Yu will have either the title "Cosmic Emperor" or "Cosmic Empress", depending on the gender of your character. This Dragon will also come with the Adept Dragon Tamer skill.

We are having an issue where the connection to the server is loss (though it has only happened two times), and are going to have to look into why it is happening. It seems to only happen for a few minutes, so it may be a pre-cursor to a large DDoS attack, or may be something at the data center.

For now I will just have to monitor and check and then discuss things with our data center if we can track down the issue if there is a pattern.

Here is the newest Dragon that will be coming to Dragon's Prophet: Samael, the Hellforged. This was originally meant to be a Halloween themed Dragon based off of Eseriel Frostshadow... But like always Aiden got a bit carried away.

Samael will have separate title for male and female characters like other new Dragons we've been doing lately, with the titles being "Hellforged Incubus" and "Hellforged Succubus". It fit the theme and the Dragon, so we're sort of re-using a modified title from Demondream and Frightmare, but you know... on a good looking Dragon.

This Dragon will scale the same way as a normal Duskreaver, and will come with the Adept Dragon Tamer skill.

This is being previewed earlier than normal because I promised to do so if someone found the harder to find James Brown, but normally you will have to subscribe to Aidens Patreon for earlier previews. You can find her Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/user/posts?u=20328797
Oh, there are also potentially new wings coming. I need to figure out how to implement them the same way as Wings of Revenge, and see if they work properly for male and female characters (they are based off of male wings, so may have a different mount point).
