Title:  Foundations of Hope Online
Website: www.foundationsofhope.com

For the first dragon blog and more information you can see that here:

A great dragon patch has been implemented for the Foundations of Hope Online testers.  First off, the biggest change was that players now have control on their dragon stats, sex, etc. as the other two realms do.  Dragons will also still age at levels 15, 30, 45, and 60.  They start off as a tiny hatchling and at level 60 will finally achieve dragon adult status.  Size pics can be seen in other blog.

But just as big is that there are now four dragon colors and five classes to choose from.  Colors are blue, red, grey, green and classes are Dragon Attacker, Dragon Stalker, Dragon Psionist, Dragon Warcryer, and Dragon Healer.  In FoHO you have the ability to have three classes for your characters, so with this patch I also implemented the ability for players to change their secondary and primary classes.  It will reset those specific classes back to level 1, but it will give players ability to not regret getting a secondary or tertiary class that doesn't fit what they wanted. 

Dragons also have the ability to Animal Armor Craft, Animal Weapon Craft, Poison Craft, First Aid Craft, and do Enchanting.

The next patch I will be looking at allowing the dragon players switch from the Dragon realm to either the Human or Saurian(lizard creature) realm if they choose to.  This will give an extra dimension into the game especially into the RvR zones.

And in a few patches down the road, I will hopefully have the character customization implemented which besides the usual hair, beards, etc. for normal players, I will be able to give players the ability to choose things like what style horns or facial features(nose or jaw horns) etc. they want their dragon character to look like.

While a short blog, probably the most important for the dragon players.  Finally have some color and class options. 

Just example of some of the new dragon colors, the craftable weapons, and armor.

Testers are always welcome. Just signup in the forums under General Game Information.  Remember it is Pre-Alpha.  I just allow people to play in the world as it is being built so it is all grind.  in Alpha the quests will be implemented for testing.

Why would a dragon have a morningstar?  or a weapon for that matter?  don't they have like...idk fire?  Just a thought, though I'm no dragonologist

While the older dragons do get fire, that would be pretty bland of making yourself look different from any others.  The weapons do multiple things.  They give character customization and they allow the dragons to spend time in crafting.  Even as dragons, people love to craft.
