Special characters fixed
There was a problem for a few weeks with "special characters" in page titles not displaying correctly. It's fixed now.

Off to find out what cool stuff the interns are working on today...

SMS Alerts
Follow up for some reports in Reporting Bugs: we're talking with our provider about problems with SMS alerts, and will do another dev notice when it is resolved.

New Exclusive Item
We won't be able to do an announcement for this until tomorrow, but we've switched to a new bonus item for buying GC. Out with the old Queue Demonique, in with the new Solar Headphones. More details on the Payments page.

Toolbar ads
We've gone through and granted a bonus for anyone that was mistakenly misdirected to /mygaia when they saw the ad on the Meebo toolbar. We've turned off the toolbar bonus ads a few hours for cache to clear, and will then slowly turn it back on starting at midnight. Thanks for your understanding, and have a great weekend.


For the weekend, an English Lit secret room. Take each of these answers, put them all together, and take just the vowels -- you should end up with a 20 letter password.

1. Shakespearean starfish form
2. Famous novel starts with a river run
3. Nothing + nothing = existential play
4. Started out in this novel; went from mate to coffee mate.

First in? Leave an MD5 of the answer in my profile, if I'm not in there.

UPDATE: congratulations to wandringmind for being first in!

Fixed some 'sploits
Fixed two glitches, but I can't tell you which ones. "Need to know" and all that razzz...

JavaScript fix
We fixed a general JavaScript error that might happen if you have a slow internet connection or have AdBlock enabled. It could have potentially prevented the CashShop "popup" from displaying. Please let us know if this helps or does nothing for your CashShop woes.

What's In The Sky?
A bird? A plane? Superman? No, even better: flying pork! A new game, Sky Pigs, has been soft launched for your amusement; go to the games page to play it.

World Navigation Changes

Hey guys, made some changes to the World navigation panel:

  • The Pie Hard event has been added to the Gaia's Story section
  • Removed Towns (now available on the games page)
  • Removed Rally (now available on the games page)
  • Removed Gaia 9 Action News (hasn't been used in about 3 years)
  • Renamed mstylelab to Virtual Hollywood (...cause that's what it is)

Changes to expect in the future:

  • Removal of Gaia Blog (sadly it's currently rarely used)
  • Relocation of Offline Events link
  • Relocation of Gaia Labs link
  • New World landing page (may also possibly be renamed)


Edit 14:03 PST
Adding back Rally and Towns until we are ready to change the World page.

Gaia is Large-Inventory-friendly!
Those of you with 8000+ items will be happy to know that many more pages on Gaia should be more friendly to large inventory accounts -- "friendly" meaning that they don't crash with a "white-screen" when you try to use them.
We've optimized our inventory code so Journals, Account Settings, and a few other apps so they run much faster/better/sexier when loading items from "well-endowed" accounts.

Old Search removed
The old search feature is now gone from the site. More of the site uses the "GSearch" feature (which is faster, easier on our servers, and better in other ways). Please let us know if anything forum, guild, arena, or PM related stopped working in the last half hour.

More old code removed
The Dev Interns removed 3 old features that likely weren't used by any users recently. If you find broken links, please make sure to report them in the Bug Reports forum and we will get them cleaned up quickly.

Outfits Shop (beta)

Today, we have released the outfits shop as a beta. This means that we'll be tweaking based on feedback that we get. There are probably some bugs in it too, so please, let us know us of issues or comments you have.

Here's a thread that gives more information about the feature, and also where you can give some feedback:

Job System
We've been having issues with our job system, which is why notices, guild announcements, report PMs, so on and so forth have been delayed. We're working through the backlog now, but it will take a while before we're all caught up.

Arena Rollover
Arenas did not rollover at the appointed time. They are now rolled over; we discounted any votes after midnight Sunday for the top finishers, but we didn't remove comments and such. People who entered entries for this contest after midnight we're going to let stand, so there are some entries that were entered on the 18th in the current contest.

Pies End

The first half of the Piehard event is nearing its conclusion. Now's your last chance to support your favorite remaining NPCs! Looks like Carl, Stein, and Moira are in a fight for the finish... Can loyal Devin supporters bring him back from the brink! Watch as the drama unfolds on Piehard's landing page.

Tomorrow when we are ready to update the finalists the ability to purchase pies will be disabled. The event forum will remain open until the end of the week, then it will be locked down and remain so until we are ready to launch Part 2 of the event.

Cash Cards
A connectivity issue between us and our provider has meant that Cash Cards are not redeeming properly. We're talking with them to resolve it. We have all the logs of the cards, and as soon as connectivity is back up, all of the cash will be delivered. We apologize for the delay; I'll post another dev alert when the situation has been resolved.
