I've been playing for a while (I began long post LaW update), though I don't approach being as expert as many of the people on this board. I play on my first generation iPad, only, not logged in, as I cannot stand all the social interruptions and gifting and so on. I'm level 54, with about 174 individual dragons (so more the dragon collecting route), with four Pure dragons, but otherwise no duplicates. I think I have 49 out of 54 possible habitats, and 14 farms. Recently, like within the past three weeks, my game has started simply freezing and quitting, sometimes immediately, during the loading process, sometimes as soon as I do ANYTHING other than collect food or pay gold to 'plant' food. I have not been able to use CombatWorld or the stadium for a couple of weeks. It shuts down when I try to breed, when I try to move dragons, when I try to feed dragons. I can try to load the game again (and do), but sometimes it takes five or six times. Very frustrating.
Do those of you with experience with iOS think this has to do with the number of dragons I have? Or with the age of my iPad? Or with other issues? Does anyone have any suggestions? Since it is on iOS I do not have the Dragonarium or kindergarten. I would be willing to sell dragons I am not enamored of, but if I sell them, I lose the Dragonmaster points, right?
