Good evening. I'm at the moment trying to revive the original DragonVale World title shut down by Backflip Studios a certain time ago. I'm currently attempting to trace the encryption keys so as to enter the base game. I've tried to DM a couple members that may have the files but there is no good luck coming my way. In the game, certain models exist but they are only the starting models, which are the fire and jungle dragon and the corresponding mixes of both of them. I cannot revive a full version of the game and because of this I need some help. It doesn't really matter which device you have given that in case of an Android you have a computer for it and in case of an iOS it can be jailbroken. If you believe you have the original assets somewhere, please reply to this post and I'll give you a step by step tutorial on how to recover your assets. I believe certain files have been recovered already, but since they are not public I cannot see them. I hope someone responds to this, because even if you have an Earth dragon it could really create progress for this project. Long live DragonVale World.

UPDATES: I have managed to make DragonVale World load up to the islands, thanks to an old CDN I found of V1.3.1 which had the _default_ and English and Spanish translation JSONs, and some individual assets I got from a bunch of old users. DragonVale World is currently in a broken state in my server, but work is done continuously to attempt to fix the bugs mentioned before. The assets are not complete, therefore the game does not really work to its fullest but sooner or later we could get either an old CDN for V1.26.0 or the complete assets from somebody else. The game is obviously not done, so it will take quite a while, but expect it to be DragonVale World as it was before the shutdown, and re-gain the whole spirit Backflip Studios put into this game.

Does anyone have images of the fully-grown Desert, Soaring, and Cliff dragons? I know they were removed fairly early in the game's lifespan, but I've always been curious to see what they looked like.

Why can’t this game be emulated, exactly? My qpp recently found that you can emulate School of Dragons, and has been playing it for a bit. That game was also an online game that was shut down, so why is DV World any different from another game that also had its servers shut down? I’ve heard it can’t be emulated but why can other online games that are no longer around be?

Does anyone have an recommendations for alternative games like this one? I haven’t found any that I like the art style as much. I’m on iOS and Steam.

A shame really, played dragonvale since launch and never gave this one a try. It is weird looking back thinking dragonvale used to be so popular that it got a sequel...

What if we worked together to make a new DragonVale game? (thinking about DragonVale humans if not DragonVale world 2)

Thanks to the work of some individual members of this sub, there's a lot of the original data files and assets that have been saved from players' devices. Because of this, would anyone be interested in joining a team to make a casual recreation of DVW? My development team is looking for some new projects to work on, we have a bit of financial backing, and we also have some contacts who were at Backflip before it went defunct.

Play safe

she was a black youtuber who was popular for her dragon city series around 2016, but lately its like her channel is off the face of youtube. Does anyone remember her and know what happened to her?

I was recently reading about the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), and learned that there are certain exemptions granted to it, one of them is that the anti-circumvention measures of the DMCA do not apply in the following case: “Video games in the form of computer programs embodied in physical or downloaded formats that have been lawfully acquired as complete games, when the copyright owner or its authorized representative has ceased to provide access to an external computer server necessary to facilitate an authentication process to enable local gameplay;” DV World falls into this category since Hasbro shut down the servers, as such if anyone wants to host their own servers or mod the game to allow it to be played locally, then you are allowed to do it. I think that this would be important for the long term preservation of this game.

(Obviously I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice).

Hello! I am on a quest to save the dragons, and add them to the Models Resource!

I have most of the dragons from my time playing, but I am missing 6 Specific Dragons:

• Summit
• North - FOUND BY MISHAISSILLY
• South - FOUND BY MISHAISSILLY
• East
• Silk
• Squelch

If you:

A) Had any of these dragons in your Park

B) Still have the phone/game/files from when you played DVW

I may be able to extract the files with your help!

I played on Android, so an iPhone may be more difficult, but to save these dragons I will do everything in my power!

I just miss the game. I understand if it would not come back, but I still miss it.

I always wondered why after Backflip shut down, they closed servers on this game but not on the original Dragonvale. I assume it was because of it being less successful, but why? I went onto the wiki for the game, and I noticed that they often drastically changed or outright removed content, such as the Caven Dragons. The original Dragonvale has updated their designs occasionally, but never got rid of anything, or changed it fundamentally. I wonder if this lack of stability led to its demise.

For me the main draw was the art and dragon designs. It's a matter of taste, I know; but the style was exactly my jam and so far nothing else comes close :(

3 years later and it still down

I know this game shut down a while ago so this place is probably pretty dead, but does anyone have any alternatives to this game? I've been playing the original DV but I really dislike the art style. Dragon City has a nice art style but it's pretty ad heavy which can be kind of annoying. I'm sad cos DVW was a perfect middle ground for a mobile game. Does anyone have any other recommendations to fill the void?

I spent years on building my park only for it to be taken down. Does anyone know if DV World will ever come back? I know it probably won’t but I’m just so sad. A piece of my childhood gone...

Does anyone have any working and safe APK files of the game? I only just learned about the shutdown, and man, that's kinda heavy. I spent a whole lot of time on this game years back, had that enchanted deadwood dragon and everything. I know there isn't much hope at this point, and I can always go back to normal dragonvale, but I'm just looking in the last place I know to look.
