PLEASE READ:

Lanzer,


This is not an emergency issuse, BUT Gaia controdicted itself regarding the torso contest on a major level. Last time I checked, the rules said (quote, un-quote) " If an item resembles a current or future gaian item, it will be disqualified." An example here would be the Pengy Vs. Pandy Pack...they're both animal backpacks and start with the same first AND last letter. How can this not resemble the pandy pack MC? Also, "Any copyrighted item will be disqualified", you can easily tell that the Heart Breaker Jacket resembles something from/ is inspired by something Kingdom Hearts related. I hate to be annoying, but...could you please tell me why Gaia is not following it's own rules? If another item for another contest was not deemed a finalist simply because it looked like a current or copyrighted, you would be showing favortism, meaning that the item design contests are rigged. So please Lanzer, if you havent fallen asleep while reading this, reply.

Thank You,
FHM

note that by 'Copyrighted items' they mean things like "Cloud's Sword" or alike. The Heart Breaker Jacket (<3) may be inspired by Kingdom Hearts, but it is not copied from it any sense.


I'm really bad at arguments, and this would get me flamed in the ED but,

If I made a game called "Kingdome O' Heartses" that was inspired by KH, I could get sued, simply because it is copyrighted. In the copyright staement it says "...ALL RELATED AND SIMILAR..." not "EXACTLY THE SAME".
but see, there's nothing that looks like anything from kingdom hearts, other than the fact it's based off a heart, and it's black =X
Please, inform me exactly how it'd be breaking a rule.

Hi Fin! Also, haha, suggestion for you admins and developers (and any other higher-ups too)! You all should try to team up with the music producers FueledByRamen. I'd love to see some items based on their bands (Hayley Williams (of Paramore)'s hair as a wig? (that would be FTW) Plus any other awesome things based on bands, their members, their clothes, or their instruments (or even more CDs, like the Cary Brothers one. I'd love to hold Viva La Cobra (Cobra Starship's CD), personally. ^.^) show up on Gaia. I mean, if Gaia took on the Cary Brothers, if they could negotiate with (actually any) music producers, more music or band-inspired items would be awesome. I know it sounds a bit greedy in the wake of another music-based item, but I still think that would be great.

The description was something about KH, I may be wrong though, considering the contest is closed.

The answer is a no, mainly because the skin was a novelty and pretty hard to obtain. Other skins are likely to be made available...

"Fagtasia"
I'm sorry for the repeat question, I know it's probably been asked countless times.

But so far the answer(s) have been so sketchy. So i'm hoping for a solid yes or no, here! xP

Will the Grombie skins be re-released in one way or another, at any point?

Not anymore, I changed my schedule and now I get to have dinner then go home. I then work at home.

Not anytime soon, it'd be great, though for now we want to spend those time drawing storyline updates.

I liked manga, lego, airsoft, R/C cars, building models, before I was a teenager... Oh and taking apart electronics but always failing to put them back together. biggrin

I wanted it to be this month but looks like it'll be the next. This month we'll have some small mini comic updates.












gonk Fun!

Can a user be banned of an item sold on the marketplace was bought when botted gold?

Even though the user had no association with the purchased user. Would that still be considered profited gold? If so, doesn't that seem unfair when the seller has no idea?

or

Can a user be banned just because the botter was on their friends list?

edit: I'm not a botter! Just wondering. gonk


- If the item was sold for a fair price - no.
- and no smile
