Would you ever consider making Gaia emotes into Facebook stickers?

The intrepid reporter Cindy Donovinh seems to have been awfully quiet since August, which is a shame because for quite a while she was very regular with her community updates. Can we expect to hear from her again any time soon? I miss her reports and am a bit worried about her since we haven't seen her in so long.


SHE'S DEAD


no I'm kidding

The staffers keeping her in the know about the happenings around Gaia have been incredibly busy in the last few months. We'd love to revive these reports and definitely have plans to do so once we kick off 2016!

Question Category Events is my best guess

I won a promotion you were holding on Facebook but as far as I can tell, never received the prize. It was for #GaianStyle promo.


Go ahead and send us another message on our Gaia Online Facebook and we will check in the status of it. 3nodding

Features "journals"

I've noticed that whenever we edit or make a new entry we have to do a captcha code. Doing a code for each entry and edit seems a bit overkill, I'm not really seeing how or why it's necessary especially since we don't have to do a code for every post or edit we make in the guilds or forums. Can you make it to where we won't have to do a code for every tiny thing we do in our journals? Maybe you could space the code out to where we only have to do one per every few edits or entries.

We'll take it into consideration!

Features: Status Updates

Are there any plans to allow users to comment on their friends' status updates on the My Gaia page? I think it would be a neat and convenient way to have a quick exchange with someone without worrying about leaving a more public profile comment or bothering with longer PMs. I know it sounds similar to a chat feature, but I'm talking about something more reminiscent of Facebook status replies.


I like this idea! We'll add it to our list of possible updates to consider.

What was the "special surprise" that some users were supposed to get yesterday, according to the Geemoji page?

Is it true that the reason President Diedrich accused us of lying was that an overwhelmingly large percentage of Gaia users did NOT want a feature like Geemoji but either mistakenly thought we really did want a useless overpriced not readily available for all users feature or was somehow convinced aka brainwashed to believe that we did want when we absolutely emotion_donotwant

Our survey results showed that 70% of respondents were very interested in a Gaia keyboard app, we understood the passion from the Gaians for something like this and it resonated with us to fuel the desire to work on Geemoji! We’re excited to continue showcasing the amazing art from our artists.

Not sure if it's been answered already (was busy writing for Camp Nanowrimo catchup), but is Gaia still planning to send out a special surprise to the initial texters?

Has a winner been determined for the Geemoji promotion? It was "redone" once, but it'd be nice to know whether or not staff is doing something with the second iteration. Especially since it involved more personal info than a on-site contest would

We've issued the prize to the winner! We typically don't release the names of the winner for single-winner contests.

Are you willing to do an AMA at Reddit? If so, when would you have time for one?


Probably not in the near future. It's hard to get a breather from building features and fixing bugs. I do hope that we will be able to hire more help later this year.

gaia has a subreddit run by some of the mods, can staff maybe take advantage of it? a good presence on reddit might help draw in new users lol

Mmm... Not entirely sure how we would be able to take advantage of that, it would essentially be another, off-site forum we'd have to manage and take care of.

I missed the gaia live today cause of work, but I've also purchased gc religiously every month always more. Did I miss out on getting the gift?

[a convo with Jak Bauer clarifies that there was no 'gift' aside from the joy of participation]


Don't worry we will have a lot more of these events. We're just testing the server's capabilities today. Video eats up a lot of bandwidth! eek

first off, I must say I'm loving this new lil feature and I hope it sticks!
one of my fave aspects was the shopping option - will we be seeing more of that with the
live streams in the future?
(ps how cool would it be to also sell RL Gaia mercy that way, oh my glob)


yes we are still testing the new features and will be upgrading our servers to handle more people online. Currently only a hundred and fifty users will use up a whole Gigabyte of data (which one network card handles), so we need to do a lot of upgrading to let more Gaians to connect!

During a previous live event, the mini-shop included something called a Pop Square Raffle ticket for 0gc. I was curious and bought some, but cannot find any information about it. Can you shed some light on this?

It was a raffle that was happening during the last live stream! A winner was chosen at the end.

Shops

On the special mini-shop on the livestream page, there's no way to actually preview the items, it just brings up the icon and the description. It does't give the item names either, so you can't even look them up to view them. Can we get a fix for this before the next livestream? I took a screenshot to show the lack of information.

Hi there,

This is already in our plans ninja

We are still testing out the functionality of the video streaming capabilities at this point, but soon we will be able to expand on functionalities such as item previews! whee

Features/Items

Question: With Live Streaming and the selling of exclusives in the stream; will these items be available for the rest of us to purchase in the Cash Shop at a later date, or will they only be available during the live stream in which some members of your userbase may be busy with life (work, school, sleep, family)?

EDIT: This is just referring to new items, not bundles of previously released items or special 'tied to the events in the stream' items.

Those items are likely to be Pop Square exclusives (unless stated otherwise, i.e. Slimy Intentions). As the stream is still in beta, we currently only have it open to those who have supported/funded the site for now, but we plan to have it open to all the users in the future—and all the items in Pop Square, have a chance to make a comeback as well.

Why don't PayGarden purchases count towards the 6 month limit for viewing LiveStream?

I've purchased GCash several times, but it wouldn't allow me to view the past few live streams.

Looks like it might be an oversight on our part, we'll add it to our bug list to investigate.

i really enjoy the live streams! they are a fun way to connect with staff!
with its growing popularity will there be a way to ignore people within the stream or report their behaviour?
last two streams someone was spamming and it gets frustrating.

We just launched the feature and still need to find out how to moderate it properly, but we should get that figured out really soon. Do note that anyone breaking TOS in the chat will still face punishment on Gaia!

Le Wild Pikachu
Livestreams

Why are these only available for gc purchasers?


As the stream is still in it's early stages, it has only had the ability to hold 50-200~ people in it at a time. When the stream started it was just SCAS and staff (and even then the page was struggling to hold everyone), then the pool opened up to recent funders, then 3 months, 6 months, this year, etc. In these early stages, we're just opening it up to a small audience to see the limitations and just to say thank you for your support. This is a product that, once ready, can be pushed out to all Gaians!
