Features

A couple of weeks ago I asked if you could bring back the old item engraving feature since a lot of us old fogies missed it and it had a great potential at being a gold sink. I also pitched some ideas to keep offensive language out out the engraved messages. You said that bringing back the feature would more than likely never happen.
Can you please give us a reason as of why this feature will never make a comeback?

Question is originally by ( Nenanah ) I am using Nenanah's Ask the Staff Question Posting Service.

Outside of the abusive messages, the old engraving system was from 2003/2004 and we don't have the code to support it any longer which is why we would not have it make a come back.

Games Booty Grab

Last week I posted this question:

Any comment on the Aquarium Snowflakes glitch of two weeks ago?
For those unaware, if a user had an Aquarium Snowflakes decoration in inventory,
the user's tank became ungrabbable - if another user tried to play Booty Grab during
a glow period, the fish didn't show up for the game.
It was disheartening that despite several threads in several forums, staff did not address
the issue at all, and it was a user who figured out the solution and told affected users how
to fix it. Then the rest of the GA community spread the word, all without (to the best of my
knowledge) a peep from the staff. Even now, not all users are aware of the problem - I helped a
user with the workaround only this past weekend. A Staff Update with an acknowledgement of
the problem with perhaps a noncommittal "We're aware of the problem and are looking into it"
would be appreciated.

Zero Omega posted a response that while a update was not yet available, a sticky would be
made in the Aquarium forum alerting users to the problem, which hasn't happened yet.

I realize that you are busy with other work, especially considering the holiday event just starting,
but people still need to be made aware of the problem - I'm still telling users when I run into their
blank tanks.

Hello, Gaia Staff!

Is it possible you can create an updated archive of all of the animated flash characters used for RIGs, events, etc. so people can use them around Gaia or even in their signatures? I'd love to use Fafnir in my signature. whee

Thank you!

I asked a while back during the first AtS about this and it never got answered as far as I know. Why do you guys limit the making of a companion for the one pose tickets? I know a lot of people who happen to love certain NPCs that do not have companions (for example, all of the casino staff minus maybe Becky) and would be completely willing to use a ticket to get their favorite NPC, but can't because of the restrictions. Why exactly are we not allowed to make companions?

I think it be better if I can move my items in the Avatar dressing room section instead of the inventory tab. It is messing up the order of my items still since some of my items are on the other page and when I put it in the storage it moves some of the items to the bottom of the second page, etc.It is seriously frustrating.

Why is there a new Miku-inspired item (Princeless Princess) that doesn't come in a bold pink or blue color? neutral

I am begging and crying and pleading for bold new pink and blue items. plzzzzzz. crying

pink has been over killed lately and people are complaining over too much pink and blue. they want greens and yellows.

Peachy-pinks have been overkilled. Pinks like in Happy Melody and Rose Porridge locks haven't been used very often in the last 1-2 years, at least. The creams and blue-to-black-gradient items have been plenty abundant, we could go for some items using an older color pallet. neutral

Can we remove gold from tipping all together and just make it work like 1+ or "like" I think it would be more meaningful this way, maybe total "tip" counts too?

Have you figured out what the hell you are going to do for the compensation for all the zOMG rings as well as the powerups that were bought that are now useless? neutral
