We have decided to discontinue DragonCityMeta.
After careful consideration, we can no longer support Dragon City due to serious concerns about its in-game systems, lack of transparency, and possible regulatory implications.

Key Concerns

• No Visible Guarantee / Pity System
  

  In many gacha-style games, a “pity” system ensures that after a certain number of attempts, players are guaranteed a rare reward. To the best of our knowledge, and by the time of this announcement (Spetember 24th, 2025), Dragon City does not appear to provide such a mechanism. If one exists, it has not been made clear or accessible to players.

• Transparency of Odds
  

  We have not found consistently published odds for all sticker card drops in the game. Some community-collected data suggests that different groups of players may experience different probabilities for rare drops. While this data is not officially confirmed, it raises concerns about fairness and transparency.

• Developer & Community Management Responses
  

  Community feedback on these issues has often been met with repeated statements about “random distribution” or “free-to-play vs pay-to-win balance.” However, these statements do not address the specific concerns about drop rates, pity systems, or fairness.

• Regulatory Landscape
  

  In Belgium, paid loot boxes without clear odds and guarantees are classified as gambling under the Gambling Act (1999). Other countries (e.g., the Netherlands, certain U.S. states) have also investigated or restricted similar systems. If a game marketed to children contains unregulated gacha mechanics, this can raise legal and ethical questions. Content creators promoting such games may unknowingly associate their brands with these mechanics.

Why We’re Shutting Down

Our mission was to support the Dragon City community. However, continuing to operate this site while the above issues remain unresolved would conflict with our values of fairness, transparency, and responsible gaming.

Effective immediately:

• Our welcome page will be replaced with this message.
• All other routes and functions of DragonCityMeta are terminated.

Final Note

We encourage developers, regulators, and players to demand clearer odds disclosures, fairness protections (such as pity systems), and age-appropriate safeguards for games with gacha mechanics.

DragonCityMeta is ending, but the conversation about ethical game design must continue.
