Here is something no player will ever see again. A crying purple dragon because your VIP status is about to expire. According to Small Giant, the purple dragon was supposed to automatically revert back to a green dragon once you fell below 30 days left before the VIP expiration. That never happened for me, but they supposedly fixed it in the most recent update to where only the green dragon is available to cry when VIP status is about to expire.
And you have to have at least 30 days left on your VIP pass or the purple dragon automatically reverts back to green with no option to have a purple one. That change was part of the latest update. It looks like you can make a purple dragon cry if you forego collecting on daily gems for a period of time but I am not sure how long that is. I have never risked potentially losing gems I paid for in advance.
I’m in the habit of letting my VIP virtually expire, I’ve noticed they offer an extra good deal for it if they think you are going to quit. It’s like $3 for VIP and 600 bonus gems.
