Hello everyone! Great seeing some of you at AX last week. Hope you all had fun with part one of the summer event.

The days are finally getting hotter and we're planning more outdoor activities. All over TV they're advertising back-to-school sale already, can you believe it?

Hello Admins and Staff,

I am not the first, nor will be the last, but had a hard day with trying to give a suggestion in the Site feedback Forum that I would like for you to take a look at and let me know what Gaia thinks - and you don't have to answer tonight - you can talk it over with your team (if you really want to) and let me know what you think. Trust me, I've been put down in all sorts of ways - down to the graphics I used. There is NO pleasing anyone in that Forum. Not even my Positive Feedback.

Your time is appreciated up front and welcomed.

Have a great summer, as I may not be back to the AtA Meetings anymore!!

Hey Lanzer! Hope everything is going good at the office! ^w^
Anyways, to the questions!

1. Why is it that even though RIG/CI victories are decently hard to get,
we can still get not-so-valuable (and more common) items from them?

2. Do you think that we can get bronze and silver tattoos in the future?
I think they'd be pretty cool looking!

3. Not a question, but I wish to show my thanks for the newest RIG/CI!
I love rainbow items and I nearly blew up from joy when discovering
that it was a rainbow themed chance item!
Would've loved to see more rainbow items, but the ones we got are awesome!

4. Just wondering, but what are some of your favorite themed avatars you see around the site?
Goth? Rainbow? Cyborg? Animals? Furries? Color schemes?

5. Did you get your free slurpee today? ;P

Greetings everyone! I have a couple important things to bring up today.

-First of all, Diedrich. Now before you run away from me let me make it clear that I'm not angry. I think I understand why you guys decided to add him, but I still strongly believe this was a grave mistake for a few reasons. You guys said it yourselves that this event would be to put the spotlight on the forgotten and unloved NPCs. Diedrich however is anything but forgotten and unloved, making certain that most users who are unfamiliar with the older NPCs will immediately flock to him since they already know him well. This made things incredibly unbalanced and most of the NPCs didn't even stand a chance. Diedrich's lead has gotten so insane many people have completely given up on the event.
Others, even those who like Diedrich, are getting more and more annoyed with Diedrich's overwhelming presence in the events since his creation. He has been in 9 events so far including this one. This is a ridiculous amount for how young an NPC he is. I and many others believe it's time to put him to rest for a while and give other NPCs a chance to have attention. Someone even started up a petition for this recently and this very well worded thread echoes much of what I've already summarized. Could you guys please ease up on your Diedrich fetish for a while?

-The 2nd point I wanted to bring up has to do with the event forum. It's become impossible to find anything but threads about anonymous gifters, most of which completely defy the forums rules. I would strongly suggest that from now on you create a sticky thread dedicated to thanking and fishing for anons so that the main forum doesn't get ridiculously flooded like this again.

-Final question: I can has more pink shoes plz? :<

Please don't skip this!


Hey guys! (Mainly any dev that's on or Lanzer)

Could you make it so that the Achievement notice bubble disappears once we've clicked the Achievement Points to visit the Achievements page? You know, like how the Notice bubble disappears once we visit the My Gaia page?

I'd like another option to cut down on the lag it creates when the pop-up activates. Not to mention that checking the box seems practically useless considering that the achievement notice pops up everytime I log in or gain a new achievement.

This would be a grand step and heavily appreciated!

Hi, Lanzer and friends.

A few years ago, I read an article about Gaia Online that mentioned some of the statistics on Gaia, like the number of Gaia millionaires there were at the time (the number was something like 1300).

I wonder what those numbers are like now or what sort of weird things the staff might be keeping track of. Like . . . how many Gaia millionaires are there today? How many people play booty grab? How much gold is generated a day? How many sales are done in a day in the marketplace?

Not a question, but a demand:


Also, who thought up the NPC descriptions for the Piehard event? And why does Lance’s read:

All that lifting leaves Lance with a man-sized appetite for pastry crusts and hot fruity fillings.

(For our viewers at home, Lance is the delivery guy who enjoys handling robust packages).

I just wanted to say THANK YOU for listening to my thread about the bra sign shops and the bikini sign shops. Very pleased to see that you guys listened to my thread.

But anyway... I have some questions:

1. Why is the Radio Jack Bag soulbound?

2. When is the Outifit MP going to be released, and what do you plan on doing to prevent users from entering those outfits in the arena?

3. When is there going to be an update for zOMG?

4. Why was the arena fee raised so suddenly (very happy to see that, but don't understand why the 5k was given so little time)?

5. What are the items from the Gaia Ads (from users who do not use ad-block)?

6. Why are we not getting pants for these new RIG items?

7. What's your favorite fruit?

2 booty grab games on page 1 already!

We had a death in our clan, so I will not be attending today. Pan, there is a new glitch thread and more in the old one, please see these:

Thank you for being willing to look at these.

Have you ever considered making a gaia store based trading post, where we could trade in our multiples of items for better items?

[plasmafire]

Can we get more design an item contests going?
