Quick Question...
I'm wondering, since my friend told me she cannot equip her starter sand wraith, is it a glitch that she needs membership to use it? She can use her nadder just fine, but she cannot use her sand wraith, as I said. So, to the point, is this intentional, or a glitch?
Its a glitch. Try sending a support ticket throught the banner on the site that says: Contact Customer Service.
I had this problem with Loki (Dreadstrider) that he was a member of the membership, but it was enough for me to reinstall the game and it was fine if it wouldn't work, so just submit a ticket to support SoD.
I had that glitch once. It locked all of my expansion dragons and my original shockjaw. It was fixed when I closed and reopened the game, but if that doesn't work, try uninstalling and reinstalling the game. If all else fails, contact customer support.
YIKES I ACCIDENTALLY POSTED THIS IN MOBILE- SORRY- She plays on PC.
