Re: Should Archived Caches Count in dragonZone?

Am I correct in thinking allocated points to a cache are viable only for a predicted time and age off/out. If so then an archived cache is no problem as once the time limit is reached there would be no points left on it meaning no clan owns it or all clans have joint ownership at zero points each Wo...

Re: So where/how do you draw the line re safety?

I think it is knowing about one's own limitations and being sensible. For example if out in the bush letting someone know where you expect to be, if the terrain is an issue travel with a friend(s) so help can be sought if needed.

I received an email advising of two awards, 100 finds (which has been received) and GeGnome ][ Electric Boogaloo which I haven't seen at this stage. Would it be in the mail still?

Re: Report GCA Site issues here

What happened to the 'update' link next to the awarded section when looking at your dragon zone trophies?

It is not only me as I have been talking with another (celtical) who also confirmed they are missing it and it is known they have awards to collect
