Still waiting on that site wide announcement. Apparently they are going to address a whole bunch of abandoned features together.

We are not important enough to get an individual announcement. emo

Well, lets hope this bundled up announcement happens ninja

Just out of curiosity....has it EVER happened in the past that a game has been put out to pasture and later picked up again for development by gaia devs? Hope springs eternal, but I just find it really hard to believe that this isn't just the beginning of the end for my precious zOMG! crying scream

Fishing would be a good example, I'd think - it received a sizable update a year or so ago, adding new fish, rods, items, and trading systems. Prior to that, I don't believe there had been much if any development work done on Fishing, and it most definitely didn't have any full-time development staff.

You may consider that dissimilar from zOMG!, but unfortunately zOMG! is the only MMO Gaia has ever produced - we simply don't have any perfect examples, to follow from. What Gaia has shown in the past is that it is interested in maintaining and adding to features that the community cares about, from time to time. No, they won't maintain constant development support of those features, but they are more than willing to invest some support when they feel the time's right... 3nodding

Only one rod and trading was already there, just many more items to trade o3o

Second new rod is an upgrade of the first, and not yet implemented; it's in the system, though. razz

And I suppose that wasn't clear; I did mean more ways to utilise the trading system. Trading up to rare fish, for instance, was previously not possible. For the sake of total accuracy, here's a reference from Gaidin's Fishing Guide:

Quote:

For a simpler list of what is part of the update in some way:
- 27 new fish (3 new small, medium, and large fish in each lake)
- 97 new items, including new items for rares (100 if you count aquarium fish)
- Rares can now be made from 1,000 large fish
- The debut of the Angelic Rod (coming with site wide announcement)
- New system of exchanging which includes non-fish items
- Sellback for all items not made with rares (Implemented Dec 3rd)
- New Fishing page (coming with site wide announcement)

And aye, the way you worded it made it sound newly introduced, not simply improved upon.
