Welcome to Gaia! ::


CLOSED
To my fans: Good bye. I have had a wonderful time this last year (almost two) with iSig Pets. Originally inspired by some less interactive pets, I opened this shop for a great place to hang out, make friends, and see smiles. Unfortunately, all things must come to an end. After graduating high school, my life has been changing. I tried to get this shop restarted with some new art and faster backend with more features but ends did not meet. Many of my old Gaia friends have already quit and one person I met on Gaia that ended up dating for a bit in real life has left me. I just dont have any motivation to continue the dream I once had. I may or may not drop in from time to time to say hello. I do not wish to see this place die out completely as I will continue to host iSig Pets for a few more months.. its just that nothing will be taking place on the business/development side of the shop. If you wish to contact me for any reason (final farewells, flames, etc), please drop me a PM. If you are a World of Warcraft addict and wish to play on my server, PM me as well. I wish you all the best of luck in Gaia and life. Its been fun.

Sinelo has granted me permission to save the pictures of my pets to my own servers for my own use afterwards, you are allowed to do the same! If you would like to keep pictures of your Isigs, copy the picture into an art program and save it.

IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH YOUR PET'S IMAGE: I have just changed Shockt.net over to another host. That means all its subdomains have been erased, including iSig.Shockt.net. This means all images should now be broken. If you want to display your pet for the last few months before the hosting expires, you can use the same code you currently use just replace isig.shockt.net with isig.net. This should fix the problem.

iSig Introduction
First of all, I would like to welcome you all to the first shop of the many iSig shops that are planned. Throughout my first year on Gaia, I had come across many unique and interesting signatures. Many of which were interactive. I had taken on the interest of web programming a few months before I registered on Gaia. It wasnt until the past few months that I had become particularly fluent in the PHP language. I had done many projects for some quick cash and decided to take my skill and apply it to things I could use and sell around Gaia. I came up with this idea of a line of "products" called iSig (short for "interactiveSignature" wink . The first of these products is this changing/breedable pet shop. I started the long process of programming and have finally finished, thus the reason I am sitting here typing away this introduction to my shop. These pets include many combined features of other shops I have seen and more planned for the future.

About iSig Pets
The current features of iSig Pets include a level meter with experience, a hunger meter with feeding, a mood meter with playing, growth, and useable items. The level meter is calculated based on experience. Total experience is shown numerically, verbally, and graphically. To gain experience points, your iSig Pet must be viewed by others. Each page view per person per hour counts as one experience point. The more experience points you have, the higher your level will be. When your iSig Pet is brought into the world, it starts at level one with zero experience points. As your pet gains experience, you will notice changes occur and eventually it will hatch into the pet species you purchased. During experience gain, you will notice your hunger and mood meters slowly decay. To replenish these meters, you must feed and play with your pet and encourage others to do the same. Your pet can be fed and played with once per person per 12 hours. iSig Pets can also be equipped with accessories you may purchase at any given time. You will find more information on iSig Pet species, colors, and accessories below.

My iSig Pets
Tantrum was the first Koro and first iSig Pet born. He enjoys hanging around and helping me out with sales as well as making friends with new iSig Pets. Jakarak is quite younger than Tantrum. He is the first, and most likely the only, everchanging Koro. Feel free to feed and play with them.

1. This list of frequently asked questions is HUGE! Do I really have to read all that?
Yes. All the information below is important. Failure to read through it all may lead to you asking a question already answered. If you want an iSig Pet, you are expected to read everything. Many thanks to mudturtledove for listing most of these questions.

2. How do I get an iSig Pet?
There are many ways one can obtain an iSig Pet. The most common is waiting for a flat sale. The date and time of these flat sales remains unknown as I like to surprise everyone. Many owners say the best way is to stalk the thread and chat with others while waiting for a flat sale to occur. Another way is to bid in an auction where you could win a rare colored species, but they tend to go quite high so be prepared to fork out a lot of gold and/or items. One of the least common ways is to adopt an iSig Pet. Some owners cannot take care of their pet and abandon them. When this happens, they will appear in the Adoption Agency post at which time you may submit an application stating why you think you would make the best owner. I will sort through the applications and pick who I think would be the best owner for the abandoned pet.

3. When is the next flat sale?
I do not normally release dates or times of flat sales. Sometimes I drop a few hints if I see a few people stalking the thread waiting for one to occur.

4. What does flat sale mean?
A flat sale is a group of eggs put up for sale for a flat fee. These normally work on a first-come, first-serve basis so you have to be quick!

5. Is there a waiting list?
No. If you want an iSig Pet bad enough, you will stalk the thread and wait patiently for a flat sale.

6. How do I use the order form?
When the time comes, you will be asked to fill out an order form to obtain an iSig Pet or an accessory. The order form can be found here: http://isig.shockt.net/?action=order

7. What does it mean if the order form is not there?
If you do not see an order form there (which happens frequently when there isnt a flat sale going on), it means that pet and/or accessory is sold out.

8. How often are flat sales?
Small flat sales are held once or twice a week while large flat sales are held once or twice a month.

9. How do I get my pet to hatch?
View, feed, and play with your pet twice daily and have friends do the same. One may feed and play with your pet once per 12 hours and your pet will gain one experience point per feed and play. Your pet will also gain one experience point per person per hour. If you get enough experience for your pet, you will see it crack and eventually hatch. Some species even evolve.

10. Can I buy accessories before my pet hatches?
Of course. You will not be able to see your accessories before your pet hatches but you will notice that the accessories are still there in your pet profile page.

11. Can I use the same name as another pet?
No. Like Gaia, once a name is taken, it cannot be used again. "A pet's name is as unique as its owner." - Unknown (if it was you who said this quote, let me know so you can get credit)

12. How long after the order will I receive my pet?
It really depends on how fast I can confirm and you can complete trades. The quicker the trade is completed, the sooner you get your pet. I ask that you allow me atleast 24 hours from the time the trade is completed before you complain about not getting your pet.

13. I can't see any of the pet images and the website won't load. What do I do?
The only thing I can tell you is be patient. I still have not located the cause of this problem but I think it has to do with either the viewer's or the server's firewall. Sometimes people, including me, just can't view any of the pets for a certain length of time. It is best to just wait it out.

14. Will you make me a custom pet?
No. If you want a custom or rare pet color, please wait for an auction. But be prepared to spend a lot of gold/items as they tend to go quite high.

15. Why does Marina have a Pikachu?
The Pikachu was a gift from me to Emi as she is a Pokemon fanatic and she wasnt feeling too well, especially after donating so much, so I made her the one-of-a-kind Pikachu accessory.

16. Where did the candy bags come from?
The candy bags were given out to owners who stopped by any of the iSig Pets threads on Halloween.

17. Can I remove an accessory after I purchase it? Will it still be there to put on again?
Yes you can. If you would like to remove an accessory and replace it with another, just post asking me to do so and be sure to include the name of the accessory and your pet ID number. Until the account system is complete, I will have to do it manually by request so please keep requests to a minimum.

18. How do I claim my freebie for posting first on a 100th page?
Just place an accessory order and be sure to include a note telling me you are spending your gift certificate, then send a trade for the difference. Current gift certificates can be viewed in the Competitions post.

19. Can I change the name or gender of my pet?
No. I once allowed it but the requests came too frequent. It may be allowed again in the future when the account system is complete but dont count on it.

20. Can I order a Koro accessory for a different type of pet species?
No. Accessories are not always compatible with all pets.

21. How do I get a Halo?
An Angelic Halo can only be obtained by helping out the iSig Pets thread. More information can be found in the Competitions post.

22. How often do you hold auctions?
Once every month or two and normally around major holidays.

23. What is the price of the pets?
Common color eggs are 2,000 gold and uncommon color eggs are 6,000 gold. Rare color egg prices vary on the result of the auction but past auctions have gone for 550k-700k.

24. What features does the pet list have?
Well besides the obvious information displayed, you can also sort the list by the columns by clicking the column name.

25. When will you start the breeding system? battling system?
When I get around to it. These are big projects and mostly rely on the account system completed. I, amazingly, have a life outside of Gaia with school and other activities that usually take priority over Gaia.

26. When is the next scheduled competition?
The date for games, contests, and competitions planned can be found in the Competitions post.

27. Can I be a helper in your shop?
Sure. I do not (normally) accept applications for official helpers but feel free to help answer questions that others may have as well as chat with the community. The greatest of helpers will be, and have been, awarded with Angelic Halos for the pet of their choice.

28. Can I see a sample of each color/style in every form it has?
Other than the silouettes in the species posts, you can view samples of pets by browsing the pet list.

29. Is there a limit to how many pets I can own?
Yes. I only allow three total pets to be owned by a single person.

30. Can I buy more than one egg at a flat sale?
Yes. You can buy up to two eggs per flat sale but please let everyone else have a shot at getting one.

31. Are you planning to make more accessories? Can I make suggestions?
Yes and yes. Many have made suggestions for accessories and we have kept them all in mind. Feel free to make suggestions for more accessories.

32. What program(s) do you use to make your artwork?
For all the non-species art (thread graphics, website layout, etc) and the Koro art, I use Photoshop. Anqi uses a combination of Flash and Photoshop, Flash to draw and Photoshop to color.
