Games ...I guess?

What is your intent for the rarity of the Philosopher's Cache: zOMG?

When this item was first created, it was a replacement source of zOMG! loot because the MMO itself had been taken down. Since Alchemy formulas that call for zOMG! loot typically call for hundreds of it, the zOMG Cache was made the most common Cache. When zOMG! was brought back on, the zOMG Cache was made the rarest Cache to encourage people to play the game instead. But what happens in 2020 when the major browsers cease to support Flash? Will the zOMG Cache drop rate be increased again, or will it remain the rarest to encourage people to find ways to get around the Flash boycott?


It shouldn't be hard to introduce additional ways to earn Philosopher's Cache. And as far as flash goes, we'll be looking to see if we can put zOMG into its own Adobe Air app so we don't need a browser to run it.

If zOMG! becomes its own separate app, will it still connect to our Gaia Online accounts so we can use gathered Loot items for things like Alchemy?


Definitely. We wouldn't be able to load your character if your gaia account isn't linked to the game, and we need that for all the inventory system also.

The other . I mentioned that quite a few NPC's were Ghosting .

Well thanks to lanzer . Klaus Clockenmeyer and Barnacle Jim are fully Visible biggrin . Well done !

But there are still issues . Rocko in Bass Ken Lake is still ghosting as is the Von Helson Twins in Dead Man's Pass .

Mc Taggart in Village Greens . Gustav in Bass Ken and Ceejay and Benny on Gold Beach . All four have reverted to an odd base form Generic avatar , of which all look the same rofl . So were almost there !

But if I have to be truthful Gustav looks pretty Buff in his underwear holding that Hooj Axe XD .

Also !

I paid a visit to the Otami Ruins myself yesterday and yes it appears both Rin and Lin are inactive and not completing quest chain . Could that be fixed ? I know others have actually mentioned this before .


I only had time to run a quick script to update all the NPC's, though some of them have customized images and those I can't restore that easily. Will try to fix them one by one when I get the chance. sweatdrop

Are you guys going to fix the glitch involving the zOMG orbs? I had been on hiatus a while and thought they were just trade-able and did a few. I found out this morning that it is a bug. It needs fixed. I don't want to lose my account over it.


I'll work on the trading bug later this week. It's been a pain to debug for a while.

Games: ZOMG!

Several users including myself are experiencing issues with the quest log in ZOMG.
All active quests and all completed quests do not show up in the queue and when we try to accept new ones it will also not register as new quest.
In fact it seems like all the quests have restarted.
The problem starts shortly after players enter Zen garden (for new players).
Is there a possible fix for this issues? Is it related to flash not being supported anymore?


We had been expanding the functionality of the quest system, which might had introduced some bugs. We will look into it and have it fixed very soon. Your quest status should not be affected.

We've updated the quest system and that seemed to have broken some quests in zOMG. We will be fixing this later in the week.

Sorry I've been busy with the mobile update and summer event, but I should be able to fix it later in the week. Sorry for the delay.

would you ever consider letting us donate orbs to dumpster dive? it seems i cant get rid of my extra orbs no matter what and i cant donate them. this would be appreciated by many user i believe please consider letting us donate orbs to dumpster dive , ty in advance


Dumpster dive is tied to checking if items are soul bound or not, we will need to see if we can make the exception without breaking the system. We will put that on the todo list.

I have sent you guys 2 messages about the zOMG rings. I trashed all mine forever ago due to not being able to play because I did not have a computer. I was wondering if you guys can spot me a new Guns Guns Guns ring so I can play zOMG again?

<3 Ochalissah


Hi there,

I will have to check into it, but unfortunately, if I remember correctly, when we unbound rings we did so saying that if you did ever get rid of them we would not be able to replace them for you. That was one of the conditions of un-soulbinding them.

If I find out otherwise I will make sure to let you know...

Is there a set date where you are going to host the zomg integrity event? This ring has been really expensive and i heard that they were free or something for people back then? i started playing it this month & im mind blown of how much it costs.


Thanks to feedback of other zOMG players we do have an event planned. The upcoming event had kept pushing the schedule back but once we get some more resources later this year we should be able to get some resources to implement the event.

Hello.

Question: How much gold/platinum does zOMG and LK really generate on the site, as a percentage to the overall generation?
Recently zOMG was capped very unfairly and has sparked outrage from the now exponentially dwindling zOMG community.
I heard a while back from someone that this was asked in a previous ATS which I cannot find, but they claimed that zOMG did not have much impact.
But due to recent events, I think it has become relevant and should be discussed once again, with newer revelations if possible.
Lanzer, please look at the petition and pleads from the zOMG community. Please do not leave loyal players of the game in the dark.
Threads by themselves:
Petition to Change zOMG Cap Limit
What sense does this make
In Regards to the Nerf which is broken rn btw
15k Plat Cap
For those who barely play and support the cap
Petition to overturn/change platinum cap

Thank you.


Last week at Dev Meat I was asked to implement the gold cap, but I forgot to raise the cap to a reasonable value. I will work on that right after ATS. Sorry about this.

Almandaragal
Features: zOMG/Plat Caps

Why is it thought that 50k plat cap is okay in zOMG, which is about 10x or so the cap the rest of the site activity is limited to? Why is it considered okay to give the feature that already makes currency the fastest out of any on the site a cap that is exponentially higher than the rest of Gaia gets?

This basically destroys the point of any caps. zOMG should be in compliance the the same cap as the rest of the site, or you should raise the cap for other site activity to the "around 50k" that zOMG gets. Either you care about inflation, or you don't. Just be consistent/explain, please.


Sorry for the confusion relating to the zOMG gold cap amount is. zOMG uses a different gold granting system written many years ago, and all settings need to be managed separately.

We initially received report that the gold cap was not there, which is definitely not what we want, and so a cap was put in place, and since then we had made adjustments back and forth from both zOMG players and Gaians who don't play and don't wish for the game to grant as much gold. We are still balancing the payout along with Lake Kindred, where any adjustments on both features are a contentious issue.

When is the Halloween event ending for zOMG! ?

The Halloween event for zOMG ended earlier as it started early. The graphics will be taken down very soon, didn't get a chance to change it earlier.

Question

whats gonna happen to zomg after flash gets canceled?


I've been looking into making zOMG it's own app so it won't need to run inside a browser. There should be SWF file players available too.

Any foreseeable major updates to zOMG coming anytime soon or anything to increase the amount of users that utilize it (i.e. Increasing Gold/Plat received)?


There is an event planned to give out the integrity ring and the old train station stage is slated to make a return also. We've also been planning to increase the reward ratio for a while, will probably happen next month.
