November 12th
Today Lanzer made the announcement about the Golden Compass sponsor quest next week, suggested another Friday Ask The Admin, and also dropped the dreaded N-Word (No) on retaining old forms of evolving items...at least for now. Oddly enough, no other admins showed up today; Lanzer went at it alone.
Yes old reports are always available and we have trading records too so that item recovery shouldn't be much of a problem.
Botting activities increased, other than that, we weren't particularly changing our modding.
I think they're just here to make the items look good, or another excuse for Saka to draw pretty art. xd
We'll soon have more types of eyes and mouths, hope we'll throw in more colors while we're at it.
We're still discussing whether or not we should make upgrades available in Gaia Cash since it's gameplay related. Some think that it's okay since users still would need to put time in obtaining the fishing items and rares. We're spending more time on tackling the recent botting issues on Gaia Fishing instead.
Qixter's journal also contains news and updates on Battle. I'm hoping that the only Battle related announcement we make would be the actual release of the game.
Soon there will be a forum for all Gaia staff to post updates and talk about things in and out of the office. Hope that'll be the new hub for new features.
We have a battle royale where the last ones standing get to meet the users!
That's why DJ Helsing always get to go on all the Ki KI tours. He's vicious on stage!
Actually, we just pick from volunteers in the office. Those who spend more time with users would always get to go, and DJ Helsing is our dedicated event co-ordinator.
I did spent time on a Friday right after people asked... I can show up this Friday also. :O
As for maps, we'll be updating soon.
The answer is no, the evolving items were designed to keep changing. Though we've heard of many requests for previous poses and we're thinking if there's a way for them to be accessed again... maybe through a potion or something. :O
We actually have a writer here in Gaia, and an admin in the office is also a good writer who help us out on the side.
Battle's schedule is still very shaky, so I'm still not sure about the release date. ToT
Beta tester must be active on Gaia. That's pretty much it.
We will choose more people when it comes time to beta test Battle.
We couldn't think of a cool enough shield for an MC item. We'll have a weapons update pretty soon.
We plan to be at Comic Con in NY this year, but that's pretty much it I think.
A Golden Compass quest? OMG, you people rock. I've been in love with those books for years!
Anyway, how do you feel about the development of the relationship between Moira and Louie? I mean, I adore them as a couple...but it just sorta happened. Louie spontaneously jumped her in the forest then all of a sudden they're nearly kissing on the Farris Wheel and then Moira sacrificed her humanity for him.
They never even actually introduced themselves to each other...We did planned for a lot more story to be told, but because of time we couldn't fit everything in... I hope that one day we can have a manga version which detail everything.
Not yet, sorry. We acted upon concerns with a lot of fraud payments and haven't gotten a good way to resolve the problem.
Make them laugh. smile
I think we have more plots that involves Ian... Liam's pic is updated though. smile
I do wanted the weapon shop to be released, but everyone got busy with the event, and the next release is actually a pretty big one with a host of random items. Hope we can slip something in by Christmas but please don't hold your breath!
Yeah there used to be a general wallpaper download section. We really need to update it with more art...
For many years we've been planning for a pet system. Since we still haven't got time to release a proper pet system, we use the Cash Shop to help leverage the time to release similar items.
Yes, I know all 95 people at Gaia HQ. Though I hang out with some and not all of them. At lunch we all eat at the same place, and we would talk about everything from games, TV shows, jokes, to anything that we come up with. We would also play games and sports together.
Oh! gonk Due to changes in features and also changes in the plot lines for Battle, some of the NPC might not appear at all. On the other hand, we might have some new NPC that we haven't announced.
Have a great week everyone!

dear Lanzer, or anyone who can answer my question please
Recently Gaia implimented a new system for reporting Items that were stolen. I was hacked some time ago and I found that I no longer had all the information I did have when I filed my first report. Will the people in charge of the hacking reports be able to go back and see my first report?

I'm just wondering, when will purple eyes be avalible again?
SO many people ask about my eyes and they wish to have them too.
Um...So is it possible to make purple eyes an option when people make their avis?

It's currently impossible to get an upgraded fishing rod with Gaia Cash. Any chance of convincing Old Man Logan to accept Gaia Cash for his upgrading service? Or is this another way of preventing rich users from having too much of an advantage over poor ones in a Gaia game?

Are you going to make an announcement in the announcement forum if we get new info on the Battlesystem? Or do we have to check the website if there are new info?
Are all faqs on new features going to be in the SF forum only? I think it'll be very helpful if they were to be in Q&A too.

How do you decide who goes to the conventions?

Hope you all are having a Fun filled Monday! I did want to bring up a question that was asked a few weeks ago, that you did, answer, but never did...
Can you move the Ask the Admin to another day, like Friday? Since so many Gaians are teens, we do need our sleep, or have bed time that Ask the Admin interferes with. I know that I'm stick in class Monday nights. If you all moved it to a different night, you might get more users from not only the USA but other countries as well.
Also, with the new areas added to the map, or you going to update the World page to also so the new areas too?

OMG I made it!
Anyway. I was wondering, will the 1st gen evolving items ever be able to equip the original poses?
Thank you!

Hey, Lanzer!
1. Are you ever going to be hiring writers in the future? (*cough cough*)
2. Do you have an estimate at ALL in when the Battle System is coming out? Like, for example "two to three months" etc?
3. Besides what was stated, are there any "secret specifics" of what one person has to have to be a Gaia Beta Tester?
4. Will the beta testers get to test the Battle System? biggrin
5. And one more thing: WHY DON'T WE EVER GET A SHIELD MC? D:
6. Will any of you guys be at Anime USA this weekend?

Hello everyone!
Hope everyone had a great time at the Halloween event. Any fans of Golden Compass? There's going to be a sponsored event for the Golden Compass next Monday.

Good evening Lanzer! biggrin
I had a wonderful time at the event. Thanks to all the devs! You did such an amazing job. heart
I have a couple of questions I've had rolling around in my head, I'd hoped I could get answers to tonight. They aren't directed toawrds any dev/admin in particular, so feel free to answer any staff members. wink
1) My first question:
Many users speculated that during the Halloween event that Ian would've been cured of his vampirism and return to work in the Barton Boutique.
However, as you can see, this did not happen.
Any clues as to when Ian WILL return to his shop? surprised
2) How is the Weapons Shop coming along?
In past A.T.A. threads, it was said that there would be a shop released before Christmas. Since the Gaia Cash Shop was released, does this mean we'll have ot wait until 2008 before the Weapons Shop opens? surprised
3) A nice addition I've seen to recent events is "Event Wallpaper".
Do you think in the future Gaia might have a section for downloadable Wallpapers, featuring non-event related Gaia Wallpapers, and past event wallpapers? surprised
Those are all my questions for this week. Any responses would be greatly appreciated. heart biggrin heart

Lanzer! I've always wanted to ask this question but I'm always late/forget to be here one monday! D:
Anyways, do you know everyone at the Gaia HQ? As in do you talk to them about things that don't relate to Gaia. Or do you sometimes wonder who you're working with? O.o

Hi Lanzer! Wow, this place is hopping! biggrin
I had just one question. At conventions over the years, we've seen a lot of previews over the years for upcoming NPCs. While a few have made their way to release on Gaia (Natasha, Devin, Sam & Edy) many others have yet to see a release. Do you know when some of those NPCs might arrive?
