Hello everyone,

Sorry for the delay, let's get started quickly!

[M a x s A n j o]

Good evening Lanzer & devs.
Few questions this week :]
• When I fish it seems that my buckets won’t save. But as soon as I delete my history, cache, cookies, etc it saves okay, sometimes…
• Is there any telling when driftwood will have a purpose?

And finally,

• Any spoilers if there will be an egg hunt on the main site?
Thank-youu devs :]

Howdy there! Two questions. :3
1. Will there be a zOMG Easter Egg Hunt this year? And about when are you guys planning to start the Easter event? :3
2. How was your day? 4laugh

[One and Nineteen More]

My questions for the night. 3nodding

Will you be doing something similar to the red mini wings raffle again?

The centaur base has been ignored for a while, as well as a few others.
Is there any way we can get more base options/accessories/base colors?

Will you have a panel/booth/something at Sakuracon?

Last question. You seem to be slow in ATA, mind if I ask why? I'm not trying to be rude or anything, just curious.
I always figured it was because you were looking at porn getting "YES" or "NO" answers from certain staff members on questions. I've always been curious. ; - ; Sorry if that question is rude or anything.

DJ Helsing, I can has your panties/boxers/briefs? I'll give you my Black Strapless Bra for them. wink

Hi Lanzer.......Just a few questions.....mainly to do with unreleased items & exchanges....

1) unrelased items - are the Pink Heartstring, the Master's Pendant the Black Tonfa and the Ivy Halo from This EI Report ever going to be released. The Tonfa has been in the system since the beginning, yet never released (its labelled as the "first equipable item" ) If they are not....cant you remove them from the system instead of teasing us for eternity????

On the subject of unreleased items........

2) Whatever happened to the new flowers & trash that was accidently leaked a year or so ago??? are they ever going to be released???.....and also, what about new exchange items for the current trash/flowers/bugs etc???

3) Is there any chance we could PLEASE have new items for the Bachelors, Masters And Doctorate Credits from Wordbump in HR Wesley...........as that hasnt been updated ever since it was released, or at least give the credits a sellback value. And what about new tattoos....that hasnt ever been updated since its release either. its been 2+ years on BOTH counts since anything was done for them

If your not going to ever update a exchange feature....then please dont release the things for it.

Hi Admit!!! Hi ATA lurkers!!!
1: so, I recently go this pm claiming that if i download this 'software' I will get 250k a day. Now I know that it's a scam, but I am not sure what to do with it and what to report it under since it's not asking for my password and stuff.
2: Ok, so I am still having problems trying to load zomg and now I'm starting to have problems with the puzzles. what should I do now?
3: out of the OMGPOP games which are you're favorite?

Hello Admins / Devs, forgive me for my enormous question!

Are there any plans to improve things for artists in the Minishops plus its subforums (Art Shops / Auctions / Requests / Services / Personalized Graphics)?

The way current trade notifications are set up the reciever of a trade does not recieve any notification if items are removed from the trade because there is a request bubble permenantly stuck in the header until an offer is made on the trade. As artists have to leave their trades open until they complete artwork it means we can have our trades emptied without finding out until it's too late.

A number of us are also experiencing an error with our request notifications displaying the wrong number of requests in the bubble. It's a pain having to keep checking the bank page to make sure we haven't been cancelled on.

There are also a number of features of the old trading page that we used to rely on particularly: the name of the user who sent us the trade being displayed (at the moment we only see the avatar of the sender); The date the trade was sent to us; and the current status of an open trade. Artists often have numerous open trades and having to click each one to see who sent it and its status is pretty annoying. Could this be considered in future tweaks / updates?

Are then any plans to change the way trading procedure works to protect artists from cancelling/ disappearing commissioners? If an artist disappears or cancels on a commissioner the commissioner doesn't lose anything. If a commissioner disappears or cancels on an artist who is either working on or has completed artwork the artist has to file a scam report, with no guarantee of recieving payment for their time. Could this balance be addressed to make it, well, balanced?

Gosh, I haven't been to AtA for months... sweatdrop

1. "The Floating City" manga chapter for this month is going to end in a few days. Will we be getting another manga update anytime soon, like maybe next month? If not, how often will we be getting a manga update this year?

2. I noticed the CIs removing from Cash Shop and entering Cash Shop had allowed for CIs to stay available throughout the whole month. Does that mean Gaia's planning to have CIs available for one month like the Birthday Sashes are (just on a later date)?

3. Can we please have the SDplus Blindbox be bought straight from the Cash Shop? We have tons of dolls in the MP, and the chances of getting a Blindbox is so low that there's hardly enough supply for any one doll in the MP (unless they are very unpopular).

Hi Lanzer,

I’m a new user and was wondering if you knew about the glitch that is happening with the car and garage.
I had a friend that wanted to go to Rally and race with me. I having never been to Rally before, had some help in getting starting. That is until I ran into a problem. I got my car, I went through the Garage to get new items to decorate my car, went back to decorate and run to having my car turn into a red ‘!’
So, I can’t equipped item to my car nor can I unlock the shop, I can purpose item but I have to go through the Garage to do it. Through I still run into have the car turn into a red ‘!’ each time I try to equip different items to it. I can use my car in rally, just not fancy it up. Not sure how high on the list it is for you, just thought I let you know that some of us new users are unable to fully experience Gaia, as well as some older players.

It’s also seems like I’m not the only having this issue.

Thank you for taking your time to read,

Hi Lanzer.

Just a couple of questions today.

1~ Can we have options in forums to change the color background please?

2~ Speaking of options, also. Can we have one that lets people tick it to receive Announcements from the thread owners, in forums? Like we do in Guilds. This would help keep people informed of up-to-date information. Does this make sense? sweatdrop

Thanks
~Orphie. heart

Any hints on Easter, will it come this week?
Will Gino know his father death in next manga?
Prom event?
How's the homepage stuff coming along?

[Kiwi Scottson]

Hi, Lanzer and friends! Hope things are well on your side of the Internet. 3nodding
Kind of a silly question, I guess, but will you be at Fanime, Lanzer?
'Cause that would be nifty.
