Hello staff. I have noticed that some of the older NPCs, including several of the characters from the Zurg event, have lost their usernames--instead, they are now listed as "User X" where X stands for their account number. Some of them have also lost their NPC status, including the [NPC] tag before their name and their red username.I have made a list here with some of the accounts that are affected.
Would it be possible to give them back their names? Although these accounts are no longer active, they hold special memories for many of us, and it would mean a lot to us if they could be restored.

Yes, we’ll fix that. We changed their names for some event teasers we did a while back.
Shops

Are their plans to increase the other gold shops' prices like HnR Wesley?
Yes as the prices are incredibly outdated and have been for years.
Items
Quote:
How are the tags decided for items? I noticed some items have parts of the item name in their tags and some don't.
Items are tagged on an item by item basis- but if you see something mistagged or in need of some clarity, always feel free to post about it in Site Feedback and one of us will take care of it!

Mine is a sort of two category question: while I love the idea behind the tickets, can we someday have a chance to be able to create wonderful items for Gaia for users that may not have cash resources or incredible vending skills?
Like a once a month, could do a "Enter your ideas for This type of ticket!" contest, giving 1-3 users a shot at getting their item made and dreams realized, and gives potential ideas for new items!

We actually have done this before with Crosstich where we have a contest of item ideas and create the winning one! This is something we plan on bringing back.

Can you please make it possible to buy a quantity of items from the gold shops.
There are times where I would like to purchase more than 1 of an item at a time as it can be quite annoying when buying in bulk. (especially when we have rigs in gold shops)
An excellent suggestion and one we will definitely consider.
Art
Quote:
Have the artists ever considered putting together all of their concept artwork and past artwork that can be found on the download page into some kind of digital art book for sale to buy either with Gaia Cash or as an app? I've heard people say if there was such a book for sale they'd gladly spend the Cash to buy one and we all know there's some amazing character art out there by the artists in their Tumblrs and DA pages.
We have considered it! However, as you can imagine, it's a very time consuming project! Also, since our rich Gaia heritage goes back 11 years now- not all of the artists who created some of Gaia's iconic pieces are still with us.

Is a revamp of the Marketplace's search on the table?
Excluding poor tagging, there are other issues I have with it. The biggest issue is doing a search for 'green boots' and having it hack up every single item tagged with either 'green' or 'boots' rather than both tags. Another is filters that don't work -for example the animate item filter. There's also a dire need for a filter for paws items, as well as exclusion filters.

This is definitely something on our 'want to do' list!
Games

The prices of bugs and inks have increased by a ton. Popular ink colors now cost millions or hundreds of millions--for just 1 vial. I'm very concerned with this, and I know that I'm not the only one.
Can you remove the cap on bug-collecting in towns?

We probably won't remove the cap entirely, but we can increase it so it's not so limiting!

Inflation has gone up 10,000 times in the past year but older games and posting gold awards have not. I was wondering if you might update gold awards for older games such as word bump, booty grab, aquarium awards and posting to better reflect the value of gold today and restore some of the spending power of those sources?
This is something we want to do. It may require we rewrite some of those older games because they were written in ancient, no longer supported code sweatdrop

Why were Pink Link updated with more gold?
We wanted to let all our players know that Pink links have been updated to provide additional amount of gold for our players. We implemented this change to provide our new players the chance to get some gold to be able to purchase items through the market place without being forced to purchase Gcash for them.
We are currently aware economy issues, and we are taking steps right now to improve the overall economy for all our players.
