Hi there Developers, Hope your evening has been pleasant.
Now you know we have been bugging you forever to fix various glitches in zOMG, But there is a specific I want to ask.
Will the Orb Glitch be fixed anytime soon? It seems to happen much more frequently now, and is getting pretty fustrating. I could deal with it before, but server-hopping and relogging is getting very tedious.

Mad props go to edy for that one. We were just talking about it and he went off and implemented it in like 5 minutes.

I really like this "Replied by: X member of staff" feature. Props and cupcakes to whoever made it. yum_cupcake

Well, edy deserves cupcakes for this. I'd send one but getting it across the pond would be impossible. Carrier pigeons would eat it.


Much love to the devs in general as well. o/

WILL zOMG gonna be on ipods??? I <33333333 zOMG but im usually on the go, or my idiodic brother had the computer PLEASE!! Can it happen?

No. zOMG is a huge game and will not be released on the App Store. Plus, it would probably be incredibly hard to play it on an iPod.

That's what they said about the sims and they made it happen.

Sims is a lot different than zOMG. On sims, it's characters you create with the already pre-made characters. zOMG has hundreds and thousands of real players. It's probably impossible to do.

key word probably. if you cut back? maybe only have three major areas which would be Bass'ken lake, Zen Gardens and Village Greens. And if you're able to link up the accounts it should be hard. But that is just my opinion. >.>

How about a silly question...

Yeah. We use memcache to store it -- it's easy, and doesn't cause any database load, and made the implementation much cleaner. Making it a feature for every topic on the site would unfortunately be more work.

How about using it sitewide? To keep down the quote-towers, and because it's cool

darnit. Forum coding, it's all russian to me.

I was wondering~ Is Gaia thinking of coming to western Canada for Real live event like a con?

Ei:
-Vancouver
-Edmonton
-Sasktoon
?
We're really close~!

I'll have to check with DJ Helsing but I don't think he's visiting those cities this year. Though I would love to be able to go back to Vancouver and see all the Gaians at my hometown.

I hosted last year's Gaia panel at Animethon (Edmonton) and IT WAS kinda cool.
Some sort of official presence would be much loved <3

Not even a single response. -_-
Thanks Gaia.

Not POSITIVE, but I think someone else had mentioned the crafting of that item, and a mod replied to them. They even said it COULD be a bug, and they are going to look into it. If it IS a bug, maybe you can get refunds! Good luck. <3

It's not a bug. I already know that much because it had nothing to do with any soulbound items.

It's the end result of a faulty and badly consructed system which at this point they honestly don't seem to care about fixing, because all i ever hear is "We're looking into it."
My case is no different apparently, seeing as the fact i wasted all that money makes no difference to them.

This issue has been brought up months, upon months, upon months ago. I and other users were bringing it up before alchemists even got to level 10 because it was obvious there was going to be a problem with the low craft success rate formulas that are level 10 because nothing you do will make the success rate increase. Unfortunately even back then we got the same, we will look into it and see if something needs to be changed.

That is just awful. YOu'd imagine something could be done by now...or at least put a Gaia wide spread "pause" on crafting till Alchemy was fixed. Something! ANYTHING! gonk

I'm under the impression they don't even consider that issue to be a problem. It was how the system was designed to work. Several potential fixes were offered via users such as having it set so a formula could only fail so many times or the option to pay more for a sure fire success rate but nothing was done.

Hey, So I'm back and I'm going to keep asking these questions until I'm not ignored biggrin

1) What happened to the Coming Soon feature? Did you guys just decided you didn't like having any sort of deadline in terms of upcoming things? I loved this feature and it game me something to look forward to.

2) How about those 'thanks for keeping ads on' ads that you mentioned ever so long ago? I've only ever seen one, it didn't work, and would like to see them again... someday? Whats going on there?

thanks biggrin

Edited to add- THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR RECYCLING ZOMG EVENTS biggrin DD

Hi notwrenja,

1) We just don't always have something to put in there. The same stuff was in there for far too long before because of development cycles, so it wasn't really useful for a lot of people.

2) I think they'll come back at some point.

Thank you so much for the reply. I do very much appreciate it :>

of demons poke at the few remaining survivors with tridents.
That sounds more my speed.":.

YOU'RE LUCKY I LET YOU OUT OF THE BEDROOM! scream

And seer gets points off by association.
