Smiley, along with DVW which is basically dead. Gizmonauts was the same way. Same concept, practically the same base game, and was dead within a year. There's something about DV that keeps it going so long (who would have thought it would have lasted this long).

The thing about DV, at least for me, is even if I don't get the dragons on release or during their event, I usually always get them in time. Unlike other games like this, DV doesn't have the "if you purchase this bundle, you get this dragon/content" and a lot of times that's the only way to get that content. Those are the games that are greedy and don't care about their players.

While I don't always agree with the way BFS does things or some of the directions they take, I still find myself playing the DV at least once a day. Regardless of whether I get all the dragons now or it takes me three months, I know I will get them eventually even without spending money. I used to spend money here and there on the game, I haven't in a while though. With all the changes, good and bad, that BFS has done with the game over the years they've at least stuck with one thing: every dragon ever released is available at some point to breed (or wish for) without spending money. It really does come down to the player and what they want to get out of the game. I used to have to have every dragon upon release, but not anymore - I'm okay with the waiting... as long as they stop doing those stupid evolutions...
