Thank you for the reply. I'm happy to hear that those are only the initial requirements. In fact, I look forwards to the Ancient RoP being hard, really hard, fraught with risks that test the dragons' skill, might and knowledge. I'm also happy to hear that some parts are dragon-only.

The time requirement should be at least 200 days, though preferably a year, because an ancient dragon is an elder dragon. They know the lay of the land, the foes, the tricks and tactics, the lore, and are a repository of knowledge. They are veterans of many battles, and might have seen the fall of the machines that enslaved the satyr, the summoning of the dryads, the creation of the Novo to mend the shattered reality.
When people see an ancient dragon, they would know the dragon has been in the game for a good long time. As we cannot multiclass and work towards acquiring multiple level 100s, adult and ancient are our only pathways to 'prestige'. When people see a biped with AR over 140 they know he/she has a lot of playtime put into that. When people see an ancient dragon, they should also be able to know a lot of playtime has gone into that.
While in three months one can grow up into a respected and powerful dragon, I do not believe such a young one yet has the wisdom to become one of the Elders of Dralk or Chiconis. A year is a good number as it speaks of great dedication to the cause of Lunus or Helian.
