As an online multiplayer game with microtransactions, School of Dragons presents several risks. The presence of 'Mystery Boxes' and competitive elements like racing and 'dominating the land' can leverage dopamine manipulation tactics, encouraging continuous play and spending. The microtransaction system, likely targeting children, may lead to pressure to spend, especially given the potential for 'pay-to-win' dynamics in competitive aspects. While stranger chat is disabled, the competitive nature and clan obligations can introduce social comparison and pressure. The open-ended MMO design and continuous progression systems may make it difficult for players to find natural stopping points, potentially penalizing breaks from play.
