1. According to this post by Narumi Misuhara we'll not likely see our beloved mechanical bunny hosting the easter event this year. What plans do you have for the Easter Bunny instead?

2. The last page of the Leash manga reveals that Gaias gods and demi-gods are able to shape their forms at will. Why doesn't the Easter Bunny just reshape his face to look beautiful once more?

Is the astrolabe pose for the Zodiacal going to be fixed before the next evolution? Still stuck on the previous evolution's teal color.

[Chanter Bien]

for people with a lot of signatures of their petition, do you acctually add it? and how many do you need so you add it?

[AirplanesArtist]

Question. I do not know if this has been answered in some other forum, but for Otakon 2011, will you guys have a booth?
It has been quite a long time since you guys have, and because I do not use my credit card online, this would be prime to me getting some nice gear.

I would also like to know if you are going to have any sort of change in the loose end credits. Maybe some small things you could buy, or trade them in for coins. Who knows.

1. No, we should send you a PM, will add that to the list.
2. Yeah, we're going to add labeling back into trades -- it's in QA.
3. Carbonphyber is having a heck of a time reproducing the problem. If anyone can post in "Reporting Bugs" with a reproducible case, it would help us quite a bit.

Hi Lanzer and everyone.

Just a few things, I'd like to bring up.

1..With the Gaia cash purchasing, is there any way to bring back the quantity button? Because, if we want to buy more than the amount listed, we've got to do two transactions.

Also after our purchase we don't get a 'statement of purchase' via pm, like we once used to. Is not going to happen at all? sweatdrop

2...Not sure if anyone else has asked this question, so sorry, if it's already been asked a million times, but can we have the labeling back in trades, so we can monitor our trades. It's just double handling without it. gonk

3...Any progress on the inventory glitch? As we can't change avi, or click anything in it. sweatdrop

Thanks
~Orphie... heart

Oh hey Pan,
Thanks, that would be great, and maybe also the quantity button, for extra amounts being purchased too please? sweatdrop
I look forward to having our trade labels back then.
There are few threads in the bugs forums in regards to the inventory glitch.
Here's one of them. if you're interested, or pass it on to CarbonPhyber.

I am pretty sure I seen this last-week too. What are you doing, if you don't mind me asking?

Making useful information more readily accessible.

I used to post these links in a new GCD thread ten minutes to half an hour before AtA (which would actually be a more useful time for people to have links to past AtA sessions and answer compilations), but the GCD mods felt it was technically spamming. I also used to bump AskED itself at about that time back when it was in the GCD.

Quote:

"I'm sorry that's how you feel about the state of zOMG. I wish that as a team we have all the resources we need to keep the maintenance crew plus keep up with new development as well as updates to existing features. Unfortunately we're not in a position to get all that I want and things end up being a harder and harder balance to keep. As of right now, we are understaffed to do an adequate job in updating the many features on Gaia. In the short term, we're still trying to get to the point where we can build a bigger team so that we can get to the features such as Towns 2.0 faster."

That was a quote directly from Lanzer.
We are hearing more and more about Gaia's financial woes whether that be intentional or not it has been mentioned in the past 3 ATA's.
1. It is sounding more and more that Gaia is just remaining stagnant and not really having much profit besides paying the employees and keeping everything running. Any new plans to bring in profit?
2. What are they?
3. I've heard it mentioned that 80-90% of gold generated is on zOMG and Booty Grab. If that is true why no extra incentive to use cash that doesn't get in the way of gameplay? Like timing how long rare fish stay in the store. Or something along those lines.
4.Why are these things not maintained if that is where so many users spend their time?

He posts it every time, cause it's useful an' stuff. 3nodding EDIT: Guess I took too long to type that. ^^;

I don't really have any questions this time (otherwise I wouldn't have been late!), but hi everyone! Am I allowed to bring cookies, or is food a staff-only responsibility?

[Lord Lapin]

1. When will the Easter Bunny get to host his own holiday again?
2. Will the Easter Bunny ever get his own assistants? Like little banis who work for him just like Santa has elves.
3. Why was Deidrich given domain over the Easter Bunny's holiday last year? Did he get permission to do so?
4. Did you guys get our clock eggs? wink

2. The last page of the Leash manga reveals that Gaias gods and demi-gods are able to shape their forms at will. Why doesn't the Easter Bunny just reshape his face to look beautiful once more?

I interpreted that to mean that their forms were shaped, thousands of years ago, based on their natures (which also directed their choices of jobs). I don't think it means they can just spontaneously shapeshift.

Is what time-consuming?
Making that post? Not especially. Waiting around for Lanzer to start AtA so I can get it on the first page can be, but I've got all the forum code and whatnot in a Notepad file.
Maintaining AskED? Not all that much, especially since Gaia made the Quote button clickable even if the thread's closed.

[Fears_Breach]

will there be a gaia app for the android market like they have on the apple market?

Ah-no! I meant your thread? All of the work, gone / going into it.

And that's true. I suppose you only have to add whatever once a week too. But I'm guessing when you first did it?
