Just realized that I'll be getting off work when the ATA starts tomorrow. I'll probably still miss it though... Not sure when I'll be on tomorrow evening.

I will most definitely be there, and would love it if we could present a mature, united and coherant front to the Admins.

Have we discussed exactly what it is we want to say and how we want to say it?

I think we would be better served by presenting a strong and consistant message rather than having it turn into a mob scene wth everybody hollering different and really unrelated questions a la the Friday Dev Meats.

One point everybody should point out is their nasty habit of releasing and not maintaining their features.

Well, the latest ATA just ended. That was the longest ATA that I have ever participated in. Anyway, below is Lanzer's response to my post.

.~.Lady_Aji.~.

Evening, Lanzer.

When will you stop this vicious cycle of releasing and abandoning new features? All this is doing is giving your site a bad reputation of not being able to maintain your features. The only reason Homes and Towns are getting updates now is because the userbase had to keep pestering you about it until something was done. Now, I hear that zOMG! is getting shelved so that you can focus on more facebook games.

Why so much emphasis on facebook? Have you forgotten about Gaiaonline and its users? Have you even thought to promote this site and its features through your facebook games? I find this to be upsetting and a bad business move. I know you're better than this. Time to shape up or ship out.

Since zOMG! isn't going to be getting updates anytime soon, can you allow swarf some time to fix the game's glitches? Like the orb count visual glitch, the lag, the broken quest chains and silent NPCs. How can you expect to get more people playing zOMG! if it's broken? And another thing. Can you at least release DMS to the public permanently and add games to Buccaneer Boardwalk?

Edit: Here's something else that I would like to know. If you have a separate team working on facebook games, why pull staff from Gaia's features to work on them?

We'd love to do more for Gaians but one challenge we have is that we had been building features and event for 9 years now. With 3 dozen games and features it is an impossible task to update everything at once, and unfortunately most updates are done when it's overdue for an update.

At Gaia we continue to have a team that's focused on serving Gaia members, while there are other teams building other things. It's a simple equation where Gaiaonline can support X number of devs and artists, while other titles can support Y number of devs. If we don't make other games, we would not have X+Y number of staff in the company, and we would only have X number of staff on board. Hope that makes sense...
