There is a post from Herby on another tread that says that buying the Gems to bring the Dragon all the way up is about the same as buying a house, and you can not get a mortgage for the gems.
The opinions expressed on this post are my own as a player, not as a Moderator.
Someplace in the forum there's a neat comparison of dragon and bear feed/HP progression comparison.
I can't find it; could someone please point me to it?
you all start with the assumption things are intended to be maxed out at some point.
perhaps the INTENT is for it to be effectively open ended ...
and stay that way so they don't have to add a patch to extend it again.
Just a thought
