Will flash spaces from events be added to the towns 2 map? I can still reach the Vday cafe through my bookmark but I'm not sure if there's more floating around


I forgot about that. Right now it is a secret space. Feel free to use it. There are a few more secret places that are not on the map, like Heaven and Hell.

Any towns 2 updates planned? oxo


Some, but mostly changes to make things run more smoothly.

Is there ever going to be a fix Towns 1 so we can catch bugs and trash again? At the moment it won't save what you catch. I know you can get bugs and trash other ways but Towns 1 was by far the easiest.


No, Towns 1 has been retired.

A shot in the dark, but will you be releasing any previous or current game or Towns music anywhere? There was a holiday Switchem theme I loved to pieces but I can't remember what holiday it was and I wish I'd had a way to save it.


Some of the Switchem music is public domain, and I'll be happy to give you the names later. As far as the Gaia music goes, sure, we can set up a download link.

If it isn't up in a few days, Pm me to bug me about it!

Can we get an actual racing game in rally one that actually gives out gold


I'm not sure what you mean by "actual". I'm afraid rally updates are not currently on the schedule.

Remember Valentine's Day 2012, when Megalomaniac played in a Flash space built for the event? Would it be possible to make another Gaian band play for another event as well, like Without a Doubt or ChromatiChaos?

This is definitely a possibility! We'll see if we can do this!

Will towns 1 still be removed ? It’s been a while since that was announced and towns 2 appears to be mostly done.


Not yet. We still want to improve towns2 a bit, because user feedback tells us there are some features from towns 1 that would be missed. We will not, however, being making any updates to towns 1.

Features (I think)

Would you consider adding a Rosalie Gambino Memorial Garden to Towns 2— A park, say, with a statue surrounded by maple trees? From an in-world perspective, it would be something Johnny had made long ago, but few Gaians knew about until now. It would be a quiet place, a place for meditation, and thus not use the ordinary Towns 2 music, but, perhaps, "The Last Rose of Summer"- or perhaps only silence.

This is something that we can certainly consider for a release in the future, thanks for the suggestion!

Question

Could we just eliminate the music from Towns and Towns 2? They always get muted by many anyway so it is a feature that is wasteful.


Actually we got a request for copies of the music a couple of weeks ago. I appreciate that it may not be to everyone's liking, that is why we have the mute button.

Me just wanting something handled.

There is a couple who sits in town heaven nearly 24/7 with the sole purpose of being rude and trolling and bullying people out of the area. I hand several others have reported them several times, to no avail. They are still constantly there and making the entire area miserable for people, throwing slurs and making fun of people.

Is it because they never log out, so bans aren't implemented? I know you can always ignore them, but they attack everyone who enters the area while they are online. I can't remember their usernames off of the top of my head, sadly, but the two are always on the couches.

Mmm... I think I might know about this, I'll see what's going on here.

Features/NPC's

It would be awesome to see some of the older NPC's get some time in the spotlight! We haven't seen or heard about Russell Or Jinx in ages!
I think a cool thing that could (maybe I dunno how hard it would be) be done, is actually add the Casino in Gambino in Towns 2.0! We could walk into first floor and we could be greeted by Jinx and Russell who would ask if we want to play slots or cards (and then there could be a link to use or something, that would take us to the games!)
Thus, expanding Towns 2.0, bringing old NPC's to the light and making handy links in town to some of our games!


There aren't any plans to update towns at the moment, but we can keep this in mind for the future! Thanks for the suggestion.

Is it possible Kin could somehow be integrated into towns 2 in a similar way to zOMG summons? I'd really love to have Saplynx, or one of my other kin follow me around T2


This isn't likely. It was easier with the zOMG! summons as they were already flash files, all the was really required was resizing them and placing them near the avatar. The Kin however are png spritesheets which our Towns 2 is not currently setup to read and display for anything other than the Avatar itself, in addition they are missing some of direction images they would need to be able to go in all the directions the avatar could go.

(Question from Ifni Moondragon) Towns 2 lets you make chat logs more readable by assigning colors to certain Gaians' names...but each time you visit Towns 2 you have to do that all over again, even if you're hanging out with the same folks you did last time. Would it be possible to have your account, or at least your browser, remember these color settings from session to session?


Not presently. We would need to save the settings to the account, which we presently don't do.

Will we see kin based house items anytime soon? as well as kins following us around pokemon yellow style?


UHHH that's a really cute idea. I'm not sure about a timeline of when we would implement these, but it would be really fun to have them.

Will you ever do Flash Events like the prom years ago that had DDR and Hell/Heaven levels. That was one of my favorite events. It brought people together to chat


Those were great events, I remember them! We have some exciting events coming up for Halloween and later, but we have significantly less developers than before so its hard for us to release random events anymore. They usually take 3-6 weeks of planning now!

Since we have a fishing game I was thinking that it would be cool to have a bug/trash/flower hunting game outside of towns. We could have a leader board and people with the highest monthly scores could get a bug/flower/trash hunting trophy. I think it would be really fun, and it would give us more things to do. Bug/trash/flower hunting in towns can be a pain because we have to dodge houses and trees then sometime rooms get so crowded with people it's hard to find stuff. It would help those who are doing alchemy a lot too because it would give us easier way to get stuff for our formulas and we wouldn't have to deal with that annoying cap in the towns game. Can you look into doing this?


This is a really cool idea~ c:

do you think you would ever consider letting users rent them for a longer period of time for more gold and or so much cash?

It's something that we can certainly consider, but it's something that would be a very low priority.

    Getting super sick and tired of asking this, so pardon my rudeness.

    Town topic harassment! How do I go about reporting it and are screenshots of it alright as long as it covers the entire computer screen?!

  • You can PM any moderator, but a Site Moderator would be your best choice as they handle general TOS violations. Make sure to just PM one though! No need for multiple PMs.

    Towns

    So I'm asking this left and right, and I continue to ask with no response.

    How much longer will town topic harassment targeting individual users be allowed? I get it, pm an online mod and tell them whats going on and PRAY they open the pm and look. But most of the time they don't open a pm, and when you try to ask another mod for help you're told off for it.

    When will this be taken care of?!

  • Let me be clear, it is not allowed. However given the active nature of Towns, it is not a simple task to deal with the problem. If you know the user causing the issue and you have evidence outside of Towns to prove it, we definitely suggest you file a report so we can address it further.

    If someone is trolling/harassing you is it ok to tell them that if they don't stop they will be placed on ignore and reported? I pmed Prue about it last night but I think I bothered her at a busy time because I never got a response. n.n;;

    In general you should avoid threatening to report people as it doesn't help your situation and in certain situations, can be considered abusive. You can tell them that you'll ignore them though.
