⚠️ Unscheduled Maintenance ⚠️
The #FlightRising website is currently unavailable to players while we investigate an issue. Thank you for your patience while we work!

Marvas prank for Aprils Fools is to Thanos Snap the servers.

lol, but jokes aside, they said in the facebook comments that it's unrelated to tomorrow

I hope we get something nice

Update:
At approximately 14:00 server time today, March 31st, we detected an attempted cross-site scripting (aka, XSS) attack. (1/4) #FlightRising

The site was put into an unscheduled emergency maintenance out of an abundance of caution, so that we could perform a thorough audit to ensure the security of the site and everyone's accounts.

...we will remain in an emergency 'curtains down' maintenance. The Mistral Jamboree will be extended by however many hours we have to keep the site down as a result of this attempted attack. (3/4)

We apologize for the inconvenience, and thank you for your patience while we continue our investigation and audit. (4/4)

ahh, i was thinking the unplanned maintenance was for a security reason. glad theyre taking it seriously.

Wonder if this is related to the imp scroll sale happening rn

damn this was so out of left field- anxious as hell right now, but i hope everything works out.

Hello everyone! We have another update for you regarding today’s emergency maintenance.

This was an attempted XSS attack. We were able to interrupt the attacker while they were in the middle of probing for vulnerabilities in our site’s defenses.

At this time, we have no reason to believe that player or employee information is compromised by this attempt. If you are concerned about financial information, Flight Rising does not store any of your financial information. All gem purchases are handled by either Paypal or our credit card processor, Braintree.

In the interest of the security of the Flight Rising website and our employees’ well-being, we are keeping the site in the emergency curtains-down maintenance overnight. It’s important that we monitor the site when we come out of maintenance and it’s currently after 10 pm for much of our team. Tomorrow we will have more information for you about what happened today, along with an update on the Mistral Jamboree extension.

Yikes. Everyone deserves a cookie after this, though maybe not a third party one.

reasonable, honestly

Yeah, one thing I do genuinely admire about FR is their commitment to decent working hours for their staff. /serious

aww, i was hoping they might be back up tonight, but oh well. as always, props to them for the open/prompt communication and prioritizing their well-being. hopefully the april fools plans aren't derailed? i mean, would bum out players for sure, but i can't imagine it would feel good for them to have an event get fucked up because of some wannabe hacker asshole either :/

Fair enough, tbh. Sucks it happened so close to the end of the fest, but I'm glad they're prioritizing staff wellbeing and user safety here.

I haven't had time to be on ARR lately, just popped back in to see what the deal was with the maintenance. Was amusing that the first think I saw was a very appropriate main post title.

I'm hoping (with a certain level of confidence) that staff will top off our dragons, the way they've done in the past when the site was down. If they do, then I've no complaints; I'll just read a book, or go outside and touch grass, or something like that.

site is back, they fed the dragons, Mistral Jamboree has been extended until April 3rd at 6:00 server time.

get your gravel and feed it marva lol

10:00 AM CST: Site's back up, and they did feed the dergs. Yay!

Now, about that gravel....

I'm going to wait a day or two and see if they make trades for bigger stacks. I don't fancy getting carpal tunnel over this.

The valentines noggles trade for 40 each if you still have them, they're on page 9. Page 10 has some 10-for-10 trades too. Good luck nonny!

me having been on haitus during the last valentines and having no noggles be like

Oh, thank you so much. I checked out a number of pages but didn't notice these. I see there are also other noggles on page 10.

I was doing the same thing, but it's the last day, so I guess I've gotta buckle down and start clicking. It's not even just the scene - I always run short of gravel to make fest skins, so there's so much coli crap I wish I could convert into it more easily.

If you have spare Noggles, check page 9/10! They have better trades there for various Noggle fams (40 gravel for one Noggle).

Yeah, it's just a question of there being no other use for some coli crap ever, so might as well do this with it while there's the opportunity, if it weren't so tedious. (Really, it would be nice if we could do the same for all the other regular fest skin components I always run out of.)
