Hello everyone!

Did people watch the Superbowl yesterday? I ended up heading off to a science museum to check out their planetarium and aquarium instead while everyone else is watching the game. biggrin

Let's get started!

[Illucio]

Hiya =D I didn't watch the super bowl yesterday.... I didn't care for it >.> yesterday was also my sisters 8th birthday. So we went to see hotel for dogs =D Very good movie I'm glad you guys sponsored it. If it wasn't for you guys my sister probably woulda made us go see High School Musical 3 at the cheap show o.o.. THAAAANNKKK YOUUU....

1. What is next for Gaia's big goal? *More players? A new game? planning on taking over the world ninja * And don't say making everyone happy and have nothing to rant about. >.> that doesn't count
2. Is there anyone in the office who deserves to be nicknamed Buzzkillington?
3. Diapered egg? *coughs* excuse me...Umm... Can you tell us if this is a weekly evolving item only evolving for the month of feb. Or is it just another EI?
4. Remember ol'pork wizard? Does he have a cousin? The ol'mighty cewcumber wizard? He turns greedy scientists into cewbumers because they are trying to speed up the EI process?
5. Boxers or Breifs? *XD I just had to ask*
6. Umm... I'm having a problem playing booty grab... Each time I'm grabbing someones booty I get slapped in the face or sprayed in the eyes with pepper spray.... WHAT I'M I DOING WRONG!! D:

Hey everyone.

Howzit going lanzer?
Can we expect more item design contests in the near future?
Any ideas as what it’ll be next?
Also:

Can you talk to Dr. Singh and ask her accept my friend request? I’m her #1 fan, and I love her so much. XD
Or at least get me an Autograph?
Thanks in advance

What’s it like being you? Do you ever wake up in the moring and say “I am Lanzer I am King I am God! These are my people on my web site in my world any thing I ask they will do for me! My face is all over the internet my image inspires there art work, they know my name, I have gotten mirage proposals from 1,000s I can have any one I want! Life is good…..accept when some thing goes wrong and then Im blamed for every thing”
When Im in Guilds accepting join requests I see

“Permissions Error
Permission utterly denied! Absolute denial! Maybe you just need to log in?”

When will you get on fixing this error?

When will the Unsightly Body Hair have a use in ZOMG recopies?

Gaia’s been doing a lot of cool things and has generally been nicer then most websites, keep up the good work

[LDown2]

I saw the commercials. I didn't pay much attention to the actual game until the last quarter. biggrin

Q1a + Q1b. After all these years, what made Gaia's staff decide to re-release old event items? It is nice having a chance to own them and all, but I don't think it's fair to users who already had them. Even though there is only a slim chance of getting some more valuable items, they have affected their market value greatly. Are there plans to keep doing this in the future and maybe even possibly with MC's? xp

Q2. I'm kind of confused on the Diapered Egg evolving item. In the evolving item report, there was no mention of it's evolving pattern, but that it was "seasonal". Will this be like the Copper Twopence and Trick or Treat Tote and evolve each week, or will it have more of a normal evolving patter? Just wondering if you have any insider info on this. .. biggrin answered

Comment/Q3. The Winding Shirt was an awesome idea. It must be pretty easy to update since it looks simple, but it's a really fun item to play around with. The shirt says "Phase One" in it's title. Are there plans for other font-based clothing in the near future? I think this would be awesome. answered

Hiya Lanzer!
i watched the commercials... do those count?
(btw: it's 2/2/09 you know... groundhogs day)

1) What was your favorite superbowl commercial?
2) Have you ever played/beaten I Want to Be That Guy?
3) Why do we have 3 cash-only shops? Can't they just all be combined into the existing cash shop instead of mixing them in with the gold shops?
4) when can we expect to see some front-end changes to guilds? (in the next week? Month? Year?)
5) http://www.gaiaonline.com/museum/ why hasn't it been updated since it came out? gonk

Actually, Dr. Singh did mention what the Egg could become, reread the report

[kaykeyser]

Hey every one! Admins, mods, developers, other staff, fans of Gaia, check out My thread hang out, have fun and tell me what you think.

Hey last week you dropped Fin’s name in conversation, however I don’t know all the staff names and faces who’s who?
To Lanzer or any staff member, do you do what you do for Gaia for other websites or companies? I heard Vo did anime or comic books or some thing, so who else has a 2nd job with there talents?

Will Gaia be going to any cons at NJ,NY or PA?
What gives you your inspiration? (I mean regarding the parts that the site members did not influence either because you had the idea before you made the site or because you had the idea regardless of what members were saying)

What’s one idea you have in your head but have yet to get out on Gaia?
This is for every one, if you multitask in ATA, what else do you do?

[Uerian]

Hi Lanzer, happy Groundhog's Day! I'm loving the new Booty Grab game!
WARNING: zOMG! spoilers follow
I have some questions about...





...LabTechX and 123
1) How long has 123 been with X? Since the beginning, or since one of the events?
2) Also, did he willingly join X, or was he forced into it and eventually started to see things X's way?
3) Will NeXuS Corp return in the next installments of zOMG!, or will there be new head bosses, like Zhivago for Durem or a rampaging machine overlord for Aekea?

[Chastler]

Hey Lanzer and staff!! (btw... it's the 2nd... sweatdrop )


First of all, GREAT work with the Booty Grab. It's really cool.

Just a few questions today...

1. So, we have zOMG now... And aquariums. As well as EIs, new games, etc etc...

What's next? Are there any other big big plans for the site?

2. Any hints for the Valentines day event (if at all possible...)? Will the NPC's be involved this time?

3. How do you celebrate V. day? In the office, and/or at home...?

4. Steelers, or Cardinals?

5. Pizza, or tacos?

6. Coco, or Kiki?

7. I'm getting my permit in a few days. Are you excited??? biggrin (lol, kidding of course...)

Kinda random zOMG question...

Concerning the Orb doubler, if you have it "equipped", do you get double the orbs when you recieve them from completed quests?

Thanks!

Oh, not on what it could become. I had no question about that. I was wondering about the evolution pattern as in evolves every week, evolves every 3 weeks and so on. biggrin

Previous seasonal evolving items have evolved each week.

[insultaflower]

Hello! I only have a couple of questions.

i. Several items seemed intentionally aimed at the steampunk genre. (Most notably the SP items and the timepiece.) Are my guildmates and myself just jumping to conclusions here?
ii. And if it was intentional, do you have any gearheads on the staff, or plans for the future?
iii. What was your most rewarding experience as a staffer? And did any of you start out as members, and end up full-time employees?

Thanks so much for your time, even if you can't answer. You all are doing a wonderful job.

And I'm so sorry to hear about the trouble at HQ. I was worried what effect the economy would have on Gaia... I really hope that before too long things will improve for you all.

[Mirraruka]

Heya Lanzer!! I am not lurking in the ATA this week!! Horray!!

This Question is for anyone that is willing to answer
(because I doubt that Lanzer would know this, since he usually does not)

I would LOVE to know the artist to The new Egg Evolving Item: Diaper Egg
XD
(Maybe Buki pwease)

Other then that..
How is everything with Everyone??
Any big plans for Valentines Day??
