While I am as excited as the rest of Istaria about the long awaited dragon lairs becoming avaliable to the community, a certain scenario has played out in my mind and made me worry about some dragons being able to aquire the lairs they want from the auction. I'll see if I can point out this potential problem so that it might be less apt to happen.

Example: Player A who primarily plays a biped wants to aquire a lair forthier alternate and less frequently playeddragon. So they work very hard at raising funds for the auction, possibly even aquiring a second CD key so they don't have to lose thier hard worked for biped plot. Auction comes arround and Player A decided to bid on what they believe to be a "less desirable" lair so as to not interfere with the full time dragons aquiring the lairs they want.

Player B who plays a dragon primarily and has been arround for a couple years, but due to limited play time has never aquired much wealth. Player Bknows they can't compete with the wealthier dragon community and decides to find a nice lair that would seem to be more within thier reach and ends up bidding on the same lair as Player A.

Both people have Every Right to own a lair. Whomever wins is the one willing to pay more for it. The thing that bugs me though is this. Player A probaby just wants to construct one more from curiosity than from a real desire to live there, but due to play time has more coin to spend over Player B, who would enjoy the lair just as much and even more so in some ways due to thier long experience as a dragon.

I would hate to see Any full time dragon (those with more play hours on dragon vs thier bipeds) miss out on a new home due to this type of situation. Everyone has a right to a lair if they want one, it just seems like a slap in the face to the full time dragon player for the part time dragon player to screw them out of the lair they really wanted. Not all dragons are rich, but those that are rich tend to be extremely rich.

On behalf of the dragon community I would like to request that all part time dragons hold off until a week after the auctions before shopping for thier lairs. It will give our lovable full time dragons the chance to get settled in where they want to be, and there will be plenty of lairs left over.
