Could we possibly get a version of the Cookie Camp game added to the game page?

Yes we've been asking the event team for a version of cookie camp in the forums too. Will let you know if we have any progress on that.

A bit too soon to tell since we just started conceptualizing it. If everything happens on time then it'll be third week of October.

Hey, there~ Will we ever see a Gaia Online Prom like the virtual one back in 2008? That were the days! Or maybe even a theatre replacement? surprised


I don't know. Maybe. We like recycling events. As far as the theater even the staff keeps asking about that one. We have a lot of mobile and towns 3 to do before deciding what's next!

Is Halloween Event gonna be related somehow to zOMG or just reactivate the old Halloween Event for it in zOMG? (The Old Trick or Treat one, where we earn the Badges for dealing with Pumpkins or so, besides the Ghosts and Jack)


While we're building a new Halloween event for the main site, zOMG will have the same event that from last year. I'll see about adding new prizes.

Could someone check the Usertalk email inbox and reply to me as soon as they can?

I sent a detailed email to Usertalk almost four weeks ago and a reminder email last Friday; the event I wanted spotlighted ends in less than a week, and we would love to secure a single site-wide announcement to promote it. Site-wide announcements are how we bring in the bulk of our benefactors and new members, so we're always grateful to receive them. Thank you!

It's been forwarded along!

Failing a return of Switchem, how about if you put old Switchem prizes and other Halloween items that are very hard to obtain on Spinami for, say, the duration of the Halloween event? For example, I would love a chance at getting the 2k13 Ornate outfit pieces. I'm sure many people would like a shot at a Jacked-up Shirt. The classics! biggrin


That's a great idea, I'll pass that to the art team, hopefully we'll see them from Spinami or the event.

If Lake Kindred is to be included with the Halloween event, or even if it isn't, would it be possible to make Kin from the Labs droppable again for Halloween?

With the Halloween event expecting to arrive soon, could we expect any tie-ins with zOMG and/or Lake Kindred? I know there's so badges in zOMG that are only obtainable around Halloween so I'm hoping to see those animated floating around to get those badges and LK needs more love, I'm hoping to see a new land opening up or at least a new kin/item set.


The zOMG halloween event will be back along with changes to obtain any of the event related badges.

Few months ago, we were told that we willget a new kin for the Halloween event.

And recently, we had a giveaway where we needed to retweet to reach a certain number to get the kin. The goal has neen reached and the new kin has been revealed.

My question is this: Is the giveaway kin the same kin we were informed for Halloween event?


There is a new Kin, but it is related to the release of Lake Kindred Origin, not for the Halloween event. Sorry for the confusion.

surprised I'm not sure if this has been asked yet or not sweatdrop and I'm sorry if it has. I've tried to look back and see if it had been asked, and couldn't find it. But I was wondering if our favorite little zOMG ghosts will be back again this year for the Halloween Event.

For the Halloween, can we have pumpkin fluffs that spawn outside Jackyard again? Or at least, have the ones in Jackyard have lower health? The kill badges for the pumpkins are incredibly difficult to get compared to how they once were years ago.


I see, I'll look into that. I can make the weaker fluffs show up more often.

During the Grave Danger event forever ago, Mods RP'ed as the NPC characters (and it was awesome. I had a blast being Mantis Sr). Would you ever consider doing that again? Maybe letting SCAS members or ex-mods that are still active do that for future events so that the active Mod team isn't sidetracked from actual Mod duties?

Because I volunteer for that. User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.


We didn't have a volunteer aspect in mid this year, partly because of the migration and other work load happening at the same time, but I will definitely push for that on future events.

Will we be able to Trick or Treat in ZOMG's Barton Town this year for the two badges that require us to do so?
I wasn't able to do this in the past because I didn't have a clear understanding of how I was supposed to do the requirement for the 'Jack O'Smasher' and 'Pumpkin King' badges.


I'm not familiar to the tow badges so I'll need to look into it. I will make sure it's available in the event.

Aria Starstone
Question Category Events

Why did you guys choose to make the migration during the BIG Halloween event? It seems a bad time.


It was based on the contract we had signed with our provider, they got upset that we were moving away and didn't offer to extend our service for even one more day. scream


Lanzer

Last ATS, I was told by Lanzer that we'd be able to do the Trick or Treating in Barton Town to get the two badges 'Jack O'Smasher' and 'Pumpkin Kin'. However, before the server migration, there weren't any pumpkins by the NPCs to click on to even be able to do the trick or treating. Will this problem be rectified, so we can be able to work towards claiming our badges?


I'll work on it as soon as I get the chance. Sorry for the wait!

However, in towns 2, back in 2015 when I knew I was leaving Gaia the first time, I coded Halloween and Christmas to turn on automatically, so it should be there.

I, and many other users, still have the Christmas 2k16 event achievements/event items instead of the current event achievements/items.
Is that going to be taken care of without us needing to do anything, or do we need to file tickets or something to help the process?

(And if so, where do we do that, because I don't actually know... sweatdrop )

Thank you for your hard work!


Yes those items will be automatically replaced. Sorry we had been busy with the server bugs but will get to this issue as soon as we can!

Soooo uh... What's the status of the zOMG fixes, Lanzer? You said a week ago you'd look into it, but nothing has changed and there are still tons of people, myself included, in the games bugs forum who are having the same problem we have for weeks. I didn't even get to do the Halloween event - a lot of us are pretty bummed. No one's heard a peep from you about it since last ATS as far as I'm aware, and it's super disheartening to have missed the zOMG Halloween event entirely


I'm so sorry. I will work on the zOMG issue later tonight, and I'll make one of the servers extend the event for you all that were affected.

Given the Christmas event is coming up soon, can you please make certain the requirements for the badge, 'Santa's Little Helper' are functioning properly? I attempted to open the Christmas presents below the tree in Barton Town last year, but the presents only gave me red error messages saying that I had to wait at least ten seconds before opening the next one. The problem is I received that message right away, when just attempting to open my FIRST box and it persisted with all the others, regardless of waiting. It would be nice to be able to open them for real this year to have a fair shot at the badge.


I don't have time to look into it now, but I'll do that comes December. whee

Will we see any holiday events in Towns? (If there ever were any in there.) If there were any events in Towns in the past, what were they like? I've been to Towns 2 and its boring imo. sad Maybe if some of the old school stuff that I've heard about was brought back in other games, it would attract Gaians back to the site?


Well, we are going forward. None this year, but Towns 3 should be out by this time next year. What old school stuff did you have in mind?

I don't know if this was ever answered during previous AtS, but I'll ask again just in case.

Would you guys consider allowing regular users to use the NPC accounts during events? Like have a dedicated group of users in a guild similar to SCAS and allow them access to the NPC accounts, with users rotating through the NPC's.


Yes that's something mods are able to do today, and I hope to extend that to users in the future.
