Welcome to Gaia! ::

hey.....thats my line

Leaving in a few hours... see you guys later.

This is very...boring.

what he said

Okay, be prepared for a long message 3nodding I just couldn't help but post about the panel at the convention.

Okay, well, overall, the panel was just plain awesome. Sure, everything we had HEARD about was there, but it hadn't really been confirmed to us all. It started out with them talking about the new code they put on the site and what was going to be on it. They will have a whole totally revised version of posting which will bring even roleplaying to a whole new level on Gaia. Thoughts, shouts, whispers, and more will be specific to posts. Things like thought bubbles and squiggly lines will be used to specify these things. Part of that will also be being able to post specific items to your inventory and also being able to add them to posts to prevent scamming.

To try to stop the inflation (and possibly reverse it slightly) that came from the gold glitch last month, Gaia will be adding the Casino with Slot Machines some time next week. It will set it up to where you do not win gold but tokens which can be used to trade in for new rare items on Gaia. The way this will take away the inflation is the fact that more and more gold is always coming in and circulating, but not enough gold is going out via the stores, hence, the slot machines take in gold, but don't give it out. So, next week we all have gambling to look forward to.

Moving on, they brought up the plots about Gambino. The actual developments of plot is completely and totally random as most of us had guessed. When Lanzer thought about him building the tower(or it falling down, one of the two) DARKNRGY and Jakobo came in to find the picture of the new maps and "OH NOES O.O" written across the page. They have no idea what's going to happen next 3nodding so, there's no point in asking.

Next... yes... we were one of (or the only) people to see Gaia Neighborhoods(SP?). I swear, I nearly wet myself. Really. It's that awesome. Okay, it'll start as an empty field, and then you put your house there and there can be three or four houses that are placed like the houses on Animal Crossing. The amazing part is, you can have your character actually hanging out outside in the neighborhood on the map and actually TALK to the people on the map with you. There can be a lot of people on the map. You can also emoticon eachother on it, too. Sadly, this wont be coming out for quite awhile longer, but before the battle system.

Okay, now, the battle system. They are working on it, but it will still be awhile, that's all the information they could really give us.Oh, but I happened to win a poster that has the battle picture on it. Aaaand I got it signed.

^.^; now that this is the only thing I can remember us talking about this will be the last paragraph of the post. Durring the Q&A, two things were brought up that I remembered clearly. Glitches getting fixed and Personals. Okay, starting with the glitches, they said quite plainly that they try to fix them when they can, but usually they get fixed when they're trying to work on the site and they just happen to come across it, it's fixed. And as for the Personals builing being brought back, as soon as it was asked, Lulu and I literally started screaming and crying in protest. Then we cried with joy when they said it would not be brought back and if it were, it would be nothing like the old one and would be used strictly as Gaia relationships and stuff, which relieved us slightly.

Okay, not so last paragraph but if you have any questions about the panel, PM me *nodnod* oh and we also got to talk to Lanzer on the phone since he was supposed to go but couldn't. And DARKNRGY tried to set Jakobo's AFK(they were selling stuff like that at the con, too) that he was wearing on fire... ah, good times.

question

ah
