Never seen Heros smile

I've missed a lot of events (irl), being too distracted on Gaia. So I was wondering if there would be an addition to the site, that will IM/PM/Comment you with a reminder? With the option of setting the time and date you want it to be sent.

Is there any chance of color remakes of Gro-gain? smile I'd love to see blonde/brown/red/white hair grow too. I am a big fan of the item. Kudos to the artist, btw.

[Knights Jester]

ohi <3

I actually have a few questions this time (which is the first time I've ever had stuff to ask).

1) Is there any possibility of more "counterpart" MCs on the way?
2) Silly question time. What is lunchtime at HQ like?
3) Favorite male NPC?
4) What is your personal opinion on the Dark Reflection's reversed NPCs?
And finally, 5) Are we going to have Christmas/Halloween EIs like we had last year (or, in Christmas' case, the past couple of years)?

[I dont want waffles]

when is Ethe going to return to Gaia?

When are the new stores going to be released?

[Inu_Hero]

Hello Lanzer and Devs!

Questions:

1. Who updates the "gaiaonline" Twitter page?

2. Since the Gaian's Gone Wild softball team is an OFFICIAL softball team, will we be seeing team pictures of them in the near future? : D

3. How are the new shops coming along? I can't wait to see Carl the Elk! ^^

4. What is your favorite breakfast cereal?


Ty! ^^

[Acid Grinder]

Lanzer, when was the last time you visited gaia towns or any of the other virtual worlds?
Also, where's RyanJakobi's pikachu?

[Kestin Sha]

Hi again! I've had a username change from last time, but I'm still the crazy admin stalker erm...person you've never heard of biggrin

-What does Johnny K.'s middle initial stand for? The world must know!
-Gino needs a haircut. OBLIGE.
-I still want to know: do you like my Gaia search engine idea? biggrin (*pokes signature*)
-Is engraving coming back?
-What do your brains taste like? ninja
-I don't have as many questions as last time. How does that make you feel?

[hermie_the_frog]

I finally thought of some questions to ask!!

1.Is there anyway belts could be fixed so that they'll layer over items as opposed to under them? A lot of times a belt can't be seen if you have any other clothes on, and it will even occassionally unequip items.
2.How are the new shops coming along? biggrin Any new hints about the NPCs?
3.Can we get a puzzle update? Please?? I'm sure we have lots of pretty art we can use.
4.How much longer until we get the final back-to-school guide? They crack me up, I want the last one.
5.Finally, is there anyway we could organize our wishlists?

[Darkening Flash]

Hello Lanzer, here are the questions:
1. Are we going to have Werecats?
2. Do you think you would get along with Rufus?
3. Has your car ever been the same ever since Rufus ripped up the leather and you threw Rufus very far.(as sited by Narumi Misahara)
4. What do you think of users being silly and weird in the ATA? Such as all the cookie flinging and such. Do you ever read back on the AtAs?
5. Coconut or Peanut butter?
6. I saw a commercial that led to this: Seal, penguin, or Sea Otter?
7. Is it true that Lanzer answer at pace and knowledge of Lanzer?
That is all.:3

[sasamiblue]

Gaia started in 2003 what were you doing in 2002 and 2001? In what year did you 1st get the idea to some day create Gaia?

When you make a new item what determines if it’ll be event, shop, cash shop, RIG, ZOMG, quest, MC, EI or other?

Why do air sharks seem to be obsessed with Sam?

Has any one ever brought a pet to work? And if so did it mess up or ruin or damage any thing in the office?

[Zweizi Galon]

Good evening Lanzer and staff! Thank you once again for taking time out of your busy schedules to answer users' questions. It is very appreciated! biggrin

1. A shop that many users have been requesting for YEARS, and we keep hearing is put on the backburner, is the Weapons Shop. Now, when I heard we were getting new shops I was personally very excited because i thought "This is it! We're FINALLY going to get the Weapons Shop! 4laugh heart heart " and when I heard it was ONCE AGAIN not being released, my spirit was crushed.

My first question is; when will the Weapons Shop ever be released?! Users are getting tired, and impatient, and desperately wishing for this shop. gonk gonk gonk

2. Another system in development users have been waiting for a long time now to be released is the Marriage System. Now, unlike the Weapons Shop we have actually gotten some information via utilizing ATA. We've discovered that the Wedding Boutique is planned to be where the old Personals building was in Barton, and last time I asked about its progress, you had stated that the system was being designed in Flash now, rather than HTML.

But that was two years ago! So I have to ask for question number two; can you give us a status report on the Marriage/Wedding system? I can't wait for it to be released! 4laugh heart

3. In the fall of 2007, 4 new areas were added to the World Map. Among the new map areas was a place I personally love to just look at, and that is Halloweentown. However, since its debut in 2007 nothing has been done with this town. We know nothing about it or its inhabitants, and no shops, features or games have been adde to this town. Now, this is a town users have expressed a LOT of interest in, and are waiting with bated breath to see what Gaia will add to it.

So my last question for tonight is; could you please share some of the plans you have for Halloweentown?
