I'm hoping Edmund's shop will be okay. Louie's been working very hard trying to make repairs. Any luck there?

exclaim Hello Gaia Staff

Are there going to be anymore videos with the gaiaonline crew? I enjoy seeing the people behind the avvies and it some how makes me feel like you guys are reaching out to the other gaians. Plus the videos are funny.

Hopefully soon - we've got a couple of ideas still brewing smile

Hi, will the new towns 2.0 be like Hollywood/Rally? Any similarities? mrgreen

Hmm, that's a good question. Yes and no. It will have unique areas instead of just many many chessboards. So in that way it is like that, but you won't pick/create a hangout like you do in Hollywood. The new towns may feel a bit small at first, but it will grow as we add each town into towns. Durem, Gambino, Barton, etc.

When you refer to "It will have unique areas instead of just many many chessboards." What unique areas do you refer to, as in where each chessboard is placed, there will be a new unique place? surprised

No, I mean in that way, it is like Hollywood or Rally. If we do put a chessboard in new towns there will be only one. You can't just keep walking forever. Does that make sense?

Yes, i do! Thank you , how about avatar interaction with items such as benches, chairs, beds? Is there any change at all?

No, the poses are still limited to the existing artwork. However, there will be some new actions in certain areas, like sliding and jumping.

Alright! Well, over all i think you guys have been doing an excellent work process in regards to trying to perfect towns to a better and more enjoyable environment to our gaian population! Though, i would like to to know what features from the current existing towns will remain as a part of towns? surprised

Can we expect some pools for the summer time? cool

Hello lovely Gaia staff, how are you on this hot summer Monday?

Will there be any guilds updates?

Is the chance of earning a rare item out of a CI exactly the same no matter when you acquire it? Or is it best to buy them on opening day?

Why does saying "Lanzer" evoke Waffles? Does Derek really own Waffles the Cat?

why is it ok for mods to stalk users?

Mods don't "stalk" users - they are busy handling reports and issues that arise on the site. If one has been reported multiple times for violating the Terms of Service, mods will have to handle the reports and investigate the content posted by an account. This may lead to multiple messages, warnings, or even temporary bans depending on the content posted and which ToS violations occurred.

Also, bear in mind that a particular moderator may get multiple reports about a single user and handle those reports at one time. This also may seem like "being followed" when in fact, it is simply done for efficiency. Handling all reports against an offender gets them out of the queue.

I have a 2003 Bronze Medal that I love and I recently noticed that MOST vests and jackets layer on top of it.

I would like to know if its possible for you to fix this.

For example the Elegant Satin Vests, the medal goes under them, and I would really love for the medal to show.

is this a fixable matter? thanks for the help in advance.

Hi King Racoon,

Unfortunately I don't think that's something we can fix in the short term. I don't know if it's a layering issue or something else, but if it's the former, it'll be tough. You could try PMing some of the artists though to see if they can give you some more info.

Thanks for the help, do you know who would be more available at the moment? I love my medal and I worked hard for it, and would love to wear it more often :3

Yeah, it is for right now. We're working on a number of stuff, including the things you mentioned, a bunch of bug fixes (which is a constant effort), and a few other projects that we're not talking too openly about right now. Forum Titles should be coming out soon-ish too smile

Forum titles! I want "Resurrected" and "Phoenix" if possible, but I guess I'm being a bit too greedy, lol. emotion_kirakira

Thank you for answering.

I want "yen" and "quest". Then I can do some awesome impersonation!! smile

omg. waffles is so cute o uo

unnn... notreallyaquestion.

i haven't been on gaia since the stone ages like some people, but i've been in several guilds and from what i've seen, guilds are behind. they just don't work as well as forums, if that makes sense, and i think i recall seeing a few old threads wandering around about wanting updates to guilds...

What in Guilds needs to be "updated"? Does it just look old or is there something that doesn't work?

Oh!
You walked directly into my trap! blaugh
Well not really seeing as I didn't know kikustronghold was going to ask a Guild question, but I'll take it. wink
I posed this question last week and late today (got a new tablet I was playing with! smile )

Me

(extraneous text removed)
Anyways, I was wondering if it would be possible to make New Topics in Guilds notify Friends in the same way that New Topics in Forums do.
It can be tough sometimes keeping a Guild on its member’s radar, because a Guild can be pretty easily forgotten with there being no Notifications of Guild activity short of the owner sending out Announcements.
Having New Topic Notifications would, I think, go a long way towards making our Guilds more active and worth the gold we pay to create them in the first place.

Thanks! 

The "notify" request seems reasonable. The difference is that forums are public and guilds forums are potentially private. We would need to make sure the notification recipients are able to view the guild forum. I think that is a smallish scoped project.

You can expect the trash, bugs and flowers to remain. The houses will still be there. I'm sure pools, skating and snow will still be part of towns, but we haven't gotten that far yet. Expect better public transportation!

Hi, I'm Aang! It's nice to meet you.

Hello! Random question but is there a place where I can ask a request to have a specific Forum to have some sort of design (like Adventure Time for instance)?
