I remember you guys use to promote a game like Dragon Ball Z, Dynasty Warriors, Street Fighter, and Etc. I was hoping would you guys promote Persona Q? Or is it too much time and trouble to promote a game?


Hello there!

While we don't currently have any new sponsorships planned, they are not out of the question for the future! It all depends on who approaches us.

Yes, we will be making anime-themed or related items, but if you are asking whether or not we are doing any more sponsorship CIs- we currently don't have have any on our horizon.

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.


Princess Angelishia
Astra Green
Features: Q & A session with authors, game developers, composers, bands, etc that are releasing new stuff and or going on tour.

I remember a long time ago that there were also some Q & A sessions with various famous people like Nobuo Uematsu. Is it possible to bring that back and have the setup be just like the AtS? That way giving us the chance to interact with whomever is that week's guest...whatever?

And to tell Tommy Karevik that he has really pretty blue eyes without sounding like a creeper. Even though that totally sounded creepy.


We can pass this suggestion along!

I've seen several notes about people wanting more partnerships/sponsorships and I agree.
These events can be fun for all users to participate as they don't require them to spend gold or cash in order to partcipate.
You've had tons of them in the past, from exclusive collections from Macys and Christiano Sirano in the shops, to watching movie trailers to get an item based off the movie.

Has your promotions department disappeared or merely forgotten about the outside world?

A lot of companies nowadays have moved away from doing sponsorships with virtual worlds like Gaia in favor of mobiles apps and games. We miss them too! We're always looking though.

When are the anime sponsor RIGs coming back to Mecha Neko? We were promised they would be back and two months later, there's no word of the Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Black Butler, and Madoka Magica RIGs making their return.


We're currently waiting on word from the Sponsors of these RIGs about permissions to put them back in, as well as finding a way to make sure that all Gaians can see Meka Neko while only US Gaians can buy the RIGs in question. We will have an update for everyone soon!

do you all have any plans on adding any more anime theme items in Mecha Neko if so could you maybe add the little Zelda theme Furs in there as well as team up with the maker of the anime/Manga Fairy tail and put some Fairy tail doll boxes in there?


Yes, we are going to cycle in Paw items into Meka Neko in the future! We'd love to get some more sponsorship RIGs, we'll see how that goes.

Will you please re-release some of the older sponsored items?
The Skittles items were really popular, I would like to own...
Skittles Skinny Jeans
Skittles Crazy Core Shower
Skittles Rainbow Wristbands
Skittles Rainbow Scarf
And plenty of others like the Celebrity Snare stuff and MTV stuff.
But there's hardly any left in circulation and whats left is outrageously inflated.
Maybe you can add them to RIG's as rare drops or something.

Question is originally by ( Nenanah )

Hi there, this question in its essence has already been answered before but I will respond one more time addressing all sponsor items in general:

Unfortunately, we can not re-release sponsored items no matter how old they are, due to the nature of the contract that Gaia has made with the individual companies involved. Because some of these contracts have expired or have not been renewed, we are not allowed to re-release these items. Sorry!

So it's been a long time since you pulled the anime sponsor CIs and I know you haven't put them back yet because you're working on a way to sell them properly (licensing being what it is). However, I know you've also said before that even if you did find a way certain sponsorships have run out and you've said they can't be sold anymore.

If that's the case why don't you add certain sponsorship CIs to GoFusion? That way they're not being sold for cash. I've seen you auction off certain sponsorship items in Flynn's Plunder (like Ultimate Madoka and Sebastian Micheals). Please the market for these items can be downright barren especially in the dolls department (I don't think a single Sky High doll has been sold in over a year crying )


Unfortunately due to licensing we are not supposed release these items at all- including them in Flynn's Plunder would be an error on our end and not something we can repeat. We may have more sponsorship CIs in the future but the current ones are not going to be released again to my best knowledge.

Can i use a Perfect Parcel to redeem SDSuper+ MLP07 Spike?

Unfortunately, sponsorship items are not allowed to be redeemed with a Perfect Parcel.

I know you can't re-release sponsor items, but are you allowed to fix issues with them? I love the Tiger and Bunny companions, but for some reason when you sit down they become totally invisible. I wasn't sure whether to put this in the glitch thread because I have no idea if it's even something you're allowed to work on.


This is not a glitch but something that was intentional with this particular sponsor.

Hi!

are there any plans where users can talk to book writers or actors/actresses in the future? i'm asking this because i really enjoy talking to them and asking what inspired them to write because like them i'm kinda a writer of poetry.

Yes we would like to have more Q/A sessions with writers/artists as well. We don't have any in our immediate release pipeline, but we are constantly talking to various sponsors.

I'm not sure if this was already talked about, and sorry if it was I must have missed it, but was it ever confirmed that the "new" DBZ items would be released/ have a release date? I believe they were the "Dbz lvl3 hair" (something along those lines), and the "DBZ Energy Field"???


Hi! There are no plans to release those items now or in the future, due to legal reasons. Apologies if this isn't the news you were hoping for! sweatdrop

My ruined post-apocalyptic kingdom for the Walking Dead Grab Bag to come back and be stocked with new items?

I know it's not completely up to Gaia and all that good jazz but with the show coming back in February and with Fear The Walking Dead having been well-received I didn't think it would hurt to suggest.

Thanks and happy holidays! n.n heart


Sorry! That item collection was a direct sponsorship from TWD and we can't release another or an update unless they approach us with another partnership offer. biggrin

While I am aware staff is incapable of re-releasing collaboration items [IE: Madoka Magica, FMA Brotherhood]: Can collaboration items be recolored?


We would probably get sued for that. sweatdrop So no, we definitely cannot allow those kinds of items.

Do you plan on re-releasing old cash shop (or Mecha Neko-) items? Such as the Madoka or FMA items?


We cannot release our sponsorship items again at this time. Sorry!
