Can we get items of the airship saga NPCs' outfits? Like Sentinel's new hair and clothes.

For the Halloween event there were suppose to be 12 achievements, but there were only 10. What happened to the last 2?

We'll have them out for the users as they did hit the tier and we promised them, sorry for the delay on them!

Thanks! Can you give us a hint on what they are. I really want to know if I earned them or not.

Will there be a gold cap on gold held by gaians again to help prevent further inflation?

That is not something we currently plan to institute.

Help

Hello! I completed a free Gaia cash offer. It was the Swagbucks one for 2500 Gaia Cash.
I have not received my Gaia cash and it is VITAL that I get it before the Teir event goes away. Is there anything that I could do to get my Gcash ASAP?

I do like our little virtual market feature. This question is one of clarification.

Earlier this year, a Gaia representative at the Fanime Conventional stated that our virtual economy was healthy. Today, there has been an approximate 4-6 million percent increase in the marketplace revenue influx since a little over a year ago (200-300 trillion gold revenue today vs. 5 billion gold revenue last year). Many items now cost at least a thousand times more than they did a year ago (or a few months ago), if not more. In real-life economies, this is known as hyperinflation. Many people have already determined that the cause of our virtual hyperinflation is the release of large gold generators.

I used to ask whether you or Gaia's economists would say that hyperinflation is healthy for our virtual economy, but I believe that it's safe to conclude that only a stupid person would say that hyperinflation is healthy for an economy--and any economist who would call it healthy should be fired faster than they can tie their shoes.

My question now is this: Are the staff of Gaia willing to acknowledge hyperinflation and to take responsibility for the state of our economy?

When will zOMG back?

What happen with the formulas that need zOMG items?

How come everything costs so much right now?

Anyway to stop the spamming notifications?

Question:

When is something going to be done about the Halloween grant items this year for the demon's side? A few of my friends have gotten theirs already, and one gave it to me so I can use it for something, but I have not yet received my own, and I know there are a LOT of forum posts of people saying the same thing.

What new features can Gaians expect for the [near] future? (i.e. a new game announcement, renovating older features, adding onto Towns, updates to mini games/introductions to new mini games, sneak preview for a holiday event, new contest)

The next big feature coming up is one of the most anticipated: an updated inventory arranger.

For reals? How far along is the inventory arranger? The reason I am asking is because we've been told for maybe 1-2 years now that it's being worked on, but the date for its update onto the live site is always being pushed back because it's either being set aside or some problems have popped up while working on it.

Features: Wrestling Sub Forum

I posted this I think last AtS and the one before that so I'll ask again: Is it possible for Gaia to undergo another partnership/sponsor type thing with the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) like you guys did in the past and have a type of Q & A with the current members of the roster (RAW, Smackdown, Total Divas and NXT) or even have them post around the forums or host their own viewing thread in the Wrestling Sub-forum.

I think something similar was done with Matt Hardy and John Cena a long time ago.

As long as they partner with us for only $9.99.

Kidding. We don't have any plans in the near future, but we could pass it along as a potential outreach for a sponsorship.

Will zOMG summons be able to be used in towns2? I would love to have a landshark roaming after me.

Is there any way you can communicate with us again? And I don't mean just responding to threads, but really communicating in a way that ex-Gaia staff members such as Fleep, Pan, and Uncle Kenny have done in the past. Many users feel that there is even more of a disconnect between staff and users than ever before these days.
