Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ask the Staff Rules & Guidelines

1. Please keep your posts constructive.
   Posts that are overly abusive towards management, staff or other members of the community will be deleted without warning. Gaian's who are overly negative in Ask the Staff may be permanently removed from participation in this and future events.
   
   
2. One question per post.
   Please only ask one question in your post. Asking more than one question in your post may result in your post getting skipped for not following this.
   
   
3. Repeat posts will be deleted.
   Please only post your question once. Repeated posting of the same question multiple times on the same day may result in the additional posts being deleted or in your loss of being able to post to the thread. This is to help keep the noise in the thread down and allow questions by others to be seen.
   
   
4. Do not post support issues.
   Do not post issues regarding account bans, billing issues, warnings, and other support issues. Instead, please file a ticket about them at our Help Center. Questions about support issues may result in your post getting skipped.
   
   
5. Not all questions will be answered.
   There are a few reasons why a question might not be answered. Here are some of the most common reasons why that happens:
   
   There are questions that are asked that have been asked and answered previously and the answer given there hasn't changed, therefore we don't answer that.
   
   There are questions that we simply do not have an answer to at the moment.
   
   There are questions asked in a format other than the one that we recommend you post in.
   
   
6. The thread may get locked periodically.
   Should the thread posts grow faster than we can handle, we may temporarily lock the thread while we catch up. We will post if the lock is because of us catching up, or due to the event being over.
   
   
7. Item suggestions and requests.
   Questions specifically asking for item requests will not be answered in ATS. They may not be responded to individually in the interest of getting to other questions. You may also post your item request and suggestions in the Item Request Thread in Site Feedback!
   

Items

If you thought you could do an AtS without me begging for beards and facial hair items, YOU ARE WRONG.

So, beard and facial hair items. I need them. You need them. We all need them. But mostly me!

Anyway, merry scruffy christmas and a hairy new years to the staff n junk!

Events

As the Gaia Shops increased in number, so has toting and caroling. So I would like to know if the staff can reduce the amount of shops needed to complete the task of collecting all the toting/caroling items.

The amount of hours required to complete this task, including the years of increasing the shops, (22 and even 24- counting Mecha Neko, Rococo, and the Cash Shop) has gotten ridiculous.

Example, in 2007 it was 16. And prior to that it was merely 10; with the only hang-up being wait time to let the servers rest. Of course we didn't have multiple activities going on during those times, but now, if you want to participate and collect, it just takes up a huge amount of time and often discourages people from getting extras.
