Now that the Western Zodiacs have essentially come to an end, any chance we could get Eastern animal zodiacs done each month? Sheep, Rooster, Monkey, etc.
That'd be super neat. ninja


True, Chinese zodiac is by the year but there are 12 zodiacs for each month's release.

Can somebody fix the item name typo in this item?

Pretty sure y'all meant to name it Wishful Fatal Physalia. Not Wishul.


The typo should be fixed now.

When are we getting a "Male items only" RIG/Bundle? It's a bit annoying that almost everything that gets (re)released has little to nothing for those of us who use male avatars, and just see fluffy, poofy dresses, or items that would be great for males, if they weren't modeled to look feminine.

Posting again, as it was ignored the last time I asked.


Sorry there are usually too many item requests for me to respond to, but we definitely take note on your suggestion for male only items.

s there anyway to split item's poses into their correct categories but JUST in dress up, not inventory or MP?

I tried to lure a few friends back to Gaia and generally got the same response, like
'oh every item is like ten different items now how do you know what's in them?'
'Just memorize them all over the next few years you'll be playing, don't worry about it!' Wasn't helpful. No one stuck around. I feel like the absolute ******** of items, which is the main draw of the site, is an extremity high barrier to new or returning players.


I hear you. It is very tough to buy specific types of items when most of them are 10 items in one.

Maybe it's time to split those items up. The marketplace should have some interface for searching through child items and return the parent item info.

Please create background items using the past event banners (Christmas 2019 etc. )
and release them in the treehouse.

this is one of the things i look forward to for every event.


I'll ask the art team about this for Christmas 2019. Any other events in mind?

Edit:
Christmas 2019 actually used an older header because we were behind schedule. ^^; The item is available here currently:

Will there ever be an easier way to obtain game items and possibly more uses for them? ex: gathering flowers in towns and using them for bouquets.


When Towns 3 have bugs and flowers we'll make sure they appear more often.

Items / Features

I was wondering if there might be a new feature similar to the Go Fusion or bug/dye system where you could trade in a number of "junk" items for a new item. A way to reduce the amount of "junk" items floating around. For example the eyeball, block, emote items and others that are generated daily and are unsellable/worth nothing.
It wouldn't be a fancy item, possibly just a recolor in current color schemes. (Like a demure eyeball) And it would cut down on inventory clutter and reduce the number of items people trash and would also clear up MP listings.


That's a potential feature we can add to alchemy. We can have event mechanic do that too. We currently don't have this planned though.

Missing/Duplicate Items in Bundle

Last April I got my hands on a Black Friday 2k18 MC Bundle that theoretically should have had all past MC letters, but there were letters missing as well as duplicates. I submitted a ticket then, but never heard back.

Can this issue be looked into? Its been almost a year at this point and the item cost me a pretty penny. When I first submitted a ticket I remember seeing some others posts about this, but as far as I know none of the other users had this issue resolved.


Definitely, we have record on all item usage and grants, will also do a sweep to everyone who encountered the same problem if we find an issue.

I know it might be a liiittle early to ask, but I was hoping we could get some flower flairs/pledges for May, as there aren't really any large "commercial" holidays (besides mother's day) that month :3

Thanks for all you do!!
A flower flair is definitely on the to-do list!

Can you add a Play Again button to some of the older rigs that are found in Lake Kindred? "The Old Ice Fishing Hole", "Winter Trunk" and "Festive Pinata" are the ones that don't have it.

Is this Soaring Halo April Fools item a joke / reference to me and my Archangel's Halo? If not, what's the joke? Cause this is the only joke I can find examining this item...

"A twist on the Gaian classics"

For the record, I do find it funny if it's poking fun at me. dramallama


I don't believe that the theme of the item itself was a joke, nor was it created with any one person in mind.

Not sure if I ever asked this, but could we get a feature that auto opens the RIGs that we purchase without clicking them one at a time?
Sadly this isn't possible currently because it puts too much strain on the servers. However, there is a workshop build request for this at the moment and we are looking at what if anything can be done to make this a future possibility!

Is converting Astra Items from Flash to whatever on the to-do list? Thanks!


Unfortunately no. HTML5 dosen't really support the types of effects that Flash can handle without making a very large image size. An option is to have something like a unity plug-in, but that's further down the road.

When will this item get released? https://www.gaiaonline.com/marketplace/itemdetail/10239275
If this item isn't supposed to be a released item that can't be obtained, how on earth did I obtain it from a RIG a few month back?
This item did change and had a generic one pose item, which I think was the back bow from a Dragonslayer items.
But then changed back to it being a ** Not Released ** / -- Not Available -- item.


There was an issue and it was swapped out for the correct, full version of the item. You should now be able to find the correct item in your inventory.

Guardian Totem
Trinket Heart
Magical Paintbrush
Winter Trunk

There are likely others as well, but I've been writing them down as I've gotten them while playing Lake Kindred, either from the Capsule Drops, or from bundles I've gotten from those Capsule Drop RIGs.

Thank you.
Thank you for the list! It will take some time to go through them all, but I'll work on adding play again buttons.

Will Astra items be fixed to view on mobile?


While I would love that, I have to say some of the items are technically convertible but others are not. They took advantage of in build flash features that just don't exist on mobile.

Unfortunately no. Mobile browsers are a lot more strict in stopping flash from working. We don't have control over this unfortunately.

Any update on the the User-driven Tagging Project? And will there be guidelines in place for how to tag items so that it's consistent?


The project had faced a bit of a delay as we had some backend updates to take care of. Currently the system will allow other users to vote on other submitted tags to ensure the quality of submissions.

Does the item glitch/repair thread in Site Feedback ever even get looked out nowadays? I've posted multiple issues with items and whilst I respect not every problem can be fixed, I haven't seen an artist post any updates there in a long time.

I understand that they're busy and I don't know how items get fixed and/or altered, but still... Existing items need upkeep too.
It will be getting an overhaul (in the form of a new thread) soon. For a while, I was pretty much the only one available to go through it and it was just too much for one person. Now that we have more eyes/hands, and with a better setup, we'll be able to stay on top of it.

YO, thank you so much for the new CI today! Love this mix of new recolors plus new items. Assuming you'll be doing more of these, can we expect a new RIG like this once a month, or will they be released on a more random schedule?
Once a month is the goal!

Will the new monthly Ci's basically function like the old monthly Core CI's?
More or less! I think the biggest difference would be replacing the lower tier sets (3-4 poses) with new recolors instead!
Yuroppa
Tiny Chibis
Will they have a set release (like the 2nd Wednesday of the month) or will it be random during the month?
That we're not sure yet. It definitely won't be random. It will likely be approximately the same time each month but I can't say definitively that it will be a specific day or day of the week.

This item only has a paws version from what I could find. I like this item a lot but I do not use it as a base. Could you make a human version for a future RIG, please? Before anyone tells me to quest for a ticket, I don't want to do that as I would like everyone to have access to this item if they were to make a human version. I also do not want to quest for a ticket. Item picture links back to it's MP page.

Yes there isn't a human based version of this item. We will consider a human version in the future.

When a new Chance tem is released do the items inside release throughout the day? (As in at first are only several items released at start and then more are released later)


All items in the chance items are the same once the item is created. The difference is that the items inside are usually not marked as released until someone obtains it, and it won't be available in avatar maker until the item is being sold in the marketplace.
