can we please get the ability to opt out of seeing bid only items? it's very frustrating to see an item available in the mp and it's bid only. i know there's the offer system, but sometimes i just wanna directly buy something and not have to jump through hoops for it by competing with others or waiting for days on end for an offer to be accepted. it could an option to check off like you can with owned/unlisted/paw items or maybe have it somewhere in a drop-down menu that gives you the option to see items that are "buy only"

Can you re-release [KINDRED] Narwheel?

Also would there ever be a way to rerelease the 4 user colored kins? It's been years since they released. So many of us would pay to get them!

Is there any chance we can get a new raffle series for the following raffle exclusives?

- Holographic Angelic Halo
- Crystal Mini Angel Wings
- Holy Angelic Sash
- Staff of the Heavens

I also wouldn't be opposed to some new raffle exclusive recolors in the mix.

It's been 3 years since the last raffle series and it would be nice to have more of these items in circulation and would be a good gold sink event for the holidays when more people are active. 3nodding

Forums

The zOMG! Discussion forum currently has no moderators. (Referring to this page)

I vaguely recall it being mentioned in the past that if a forum is lacking moderators, a community member can reach out to a moderator to let them know.

Would it be appropriate to private message any of the moderators listed in the How/When to contact a Moderator thread regarding that or are there other steps Gaia would prefer?

(This might be something worth clarifying in the When to Contact a Moderator section of the post.)

Thank you!

We LOVE the new prisma bunny ears! As well as the white ones! But, I was wondering, why there is no prisma bunny tail? I feel like that is a missed opportunity!

im all for new items being created/recolored for a new raffle gold sink, but let’s not re-release prior prizes (again…), which further diminishes the exclusivity of the prizes and disincentivizes folks from contributing more gold. (e.g sinking gold for a 1/5 item instead of a 1/15 item)

Frontier Skies?
Only back to Gaia after a long time away and I'm so nostalgic for Frontier Skies? Would there ever be a possibility of it being available to play again, even just for fun? Does it still exist somewhere or is it just lost forever?

Hello & welcome back to Gaia! emotion_yatta

Not totally sure how to categorise this one but wanted to ask while I'm here, would you guys ever bring back frontier skies? I adored that game back in the day and I was forever sad it went away.

I thought the game had some major bug that caused us to take it offline back then. I'll have a look, maybe just disable the prize granting if any major bug exist so everyone can still play it.

Lanzer

Took a bit of effort but we found all the server code to restore the Electric Love Faktori game. Unfortunately not so for Frontier Skies. Our old developer removed its database entries so it's been difficult to restore the data. I dedicate a day for this project but looks like I'll need to find more time for it. So Frontier Skies will be on hold unless there's a strong demand for the game.

Some of Gaia's other classic games have been able to make a return thanks to Ruffle though. You can read more about that over here: Ruffle Flash Emulator FAQ

Has anyone that has looked in to the problem with Spinami

Quote:

Games - Spinami doesn't seem to be functioning

Hi, I'm not staff but thought you'd be happy to know Spinami is working now:

Lanzer

Finally got dark mode for Guilds completed. It involved editing 102 files. No wonder it took so long to finish. It uses one of the oldest template system on Gaia and working on it was no fun.

Other fixes:
Fixed Spinami

Tickets
Gaia is releasing tons of tickets for item recreation, and more and more items with the tickets.

Perhaps to mix it up to take a break from all the items which is getting exhausting seeing La Victorie announcements and other items decrease in value.

Perhaps an event ticket, user run events would be brought back but in a more official capacity.
This could help with the writers which would get out seasonal events easier perhaps, the event wouldn't be anything big just maybe something simple, like an Annual Ball which hasn't happened in awhile or a small event that they'd work with someone for to keep it under control.
The unofficial events, turning official. Gaia is running low on story and lacking the events to include it's lore, (which has gotten really convoluted) so perhaps a ticket for that. Honestly when was the last time we got together with our fav NPC's to see their Gaian life?

For Sasha and Gino, Isle de Gambino is a real island. Though Gino no longer resides there.

Barton town is an actual residence for most of our crew.

What about the player Liam or our punk chick Moria.

We Gaians used to be members of the world as well (we voted whether Ian was guilty or not!)

Honestly I just need more Sasha as my fav NPC. The island girl with a heart of gold who won the hearts of 2 men and one player.
Gino Gambino, the only man to reach first base with her. Ian who got jealous over her simple kindness, and in one comic Liam even added her to his dating roster.

So many events can be used to learn more that even a simple ticket I'm sure someone would go for. With all the Gaians complaining it’s not what is used to be, perhaps an Event ticket could bring the world back to life and encourage them.


(Also please go back to the original manga setting. 22 pages were enough to get everything across, we don’t need 64 telling us the entire plot, sometimes simple is best and honestly I can’t keep looking at this weird art style any longer)

People have mentioned this before but we haven’t gotten an answer. Most of the rigs dropped in Lake Kindred are from 2017 or older. When will newer items from rigs (for example, from 2018-2021) be added?

zOMG

If you go to the zOMG game from Games gaia_right Play zOMG! via a modern browser, the game attempts to load (presuming via Ruffle) so it leads to the usual connection issue when selecting servers. This appears to be a known bug and not the issue I want to bring attention to.

I'm aware that Lanzer is doing his best to get zOMG work on Ruffle - but in the meantime, can you bring back the message on the Play zOMG! page that the game can only be played via flash workaround or Adobe Air? This should help reduce confusion for both new and returning players trying to get the game to work as some may not check the forums first. 3nodding

I think the old message that used to display was the same as the one on the Learn about zOMG! page.
