Can we have a summer booty grab week? I think Aquarium can be a great way to cool down too during the heat of the summer! (I honestly just think booty grab needs more players)

Question is originally by Kitsunen


I think that's a good idea, we can try to feature some especially nice Bootys in the next few weeks.

Can you make new fishes inspired by lake Kindred? and Maybe Lake Kindred Fishes that can drop Eggs?

Question is originally by Kitsunen


I think that's a great idea! Thank you for the suggestion.

Can you please update the Overseer, as well as the First Posting Gold Bonus and Browsing Gold Bonus because it only gives out like 3-600 Gold and tha isn't even enough to Tip anybody.


We can look into it!

are there any plans to fix the glitch with aquarium snowflakes not allowing users who have them in their inventory/aquarium to not booty grab or let other players booty grab in their aquariums?


Not in the near term but is something we do want to get back to.

Can we have a contest for creating a new fish for the aquariums? Like we can submit drawings of new fish and decorations, I think it would be fun and it might draw even more people to creating and maintaining a tank.

Question is originally asked by Nenanah.

It's something that we can keep in mind! No guarantees if we can do it though!

do you have any leads on why some aquariums have this glitch?

some users keep getting this message when they try loading their aquarium

"It appears as if there was a problem updating your tank. Perhaps you are logged out? Try refreshing the page and log back in." it happens each time they click on the aquarium link to load up their tank this link right here yet the tank shows up on their profile and in their signature with no problem.


No we currently don't, does it happen every time?

Features - Aquarium: Message in a Bottle

It would be great if there was a way we could delete/change our Message in a Bottle once it's been released. Often times I get my bottle back with answers that have nothing to do with my question (but has more to do with the gold rewarded simply for answering). When this happens, it would be nice if I could delete/change my message before releasing it again. Additionally, it might be better to increase the reward when a user's answer is chosen as the winner (maybe 20K gold?), and then completely eliminate gold for simply answering the message.


Not a bad idea, though at the moment we are not planning any changes or updates to the Message in a Bottle system.

I currently have several frozen Aquarium fish in my inventory. The problem with this is that the fish have been dead for well over a year. I no longer have their fish drops either. They are taking up space and I'd like to remove them.

Is there some way to remove these fish from my inventory?


Ouch! We'll have to take a look.

If you ever returned to designing Cache-heavy Formulas, could you also consider using a lot of the Aquarium Decorations gotten from the Daily Chance Carts as Components?


Great idea! We'll keep it in mind next time we do updates to Alchemy. That may happen!

I'm putting Aquarium as games. Can we submit a ticket or something to have our unusable tanks cleared so we can use them again? I know to just go and remove the balls or w/e is annoying for every user, that's why I think there should be a ticket system. Pretty much is there any way I can use the Aquarium again please?

Go ahead and file a ticket about this and we'll see what we can go ahead and do.

Can we get an update to the Overseer's drops? 100-ish gold is literally meaningless in this economy.

Most if not all gold shop aquarium items can't be sold back to the shops, even though all other gold shop items can. Is this something that's going to be rectified? And if so, when?

This is intentional as these items are common drops so we don't allow them to be sold back.

I've asked this before, but I'll ask again. Is there a way you can add a trash option on locked aquarium, lake kindred starters and other kinds of locked items? I'm tired of that junk filling up my inventory. I didn't even set up a tank or anything, these locked items just appeared in my inventory one day years ago and I've had to have them sit there ever since because every time I put the locked aquarium items into storage they're moved back into my inventory again. I'm not trying to even sell them back for gold, I just want them removed and gone and unfortunately there's no removing the fish from the aquarium and they won't die no matter what I do and I can't disable the tank. I don't know who decided I had to have this stuff one day, but I don't want it and I shouldn't have to be forced to take care of a starter kin when I can catch better ones.


I'm not sure if that's possible or not but I can look into it.

Didn't make it to ATS but I'm hoping I can get an answer before next week? I don't know where to report this either way...
The thing is that I got my invo filled with Prince Enkis, and since I love him to bits I put several of them on my aquarium more than 6 months ago and they...they're still alive, all of them have been alive for 200 days already!!! I love them, but I'd like it if my aquarium wasn't so crowded


Go ahead and file a ticket for this. We can exterminate your fish.

I know it's a long shot, but could we possibly get a formula to make an Alchemy useable only Diamondback using the Aquarium fish from the Aquarium rig to not only allow people to actually complete their backwings sometime this century but also give those fish some value again. Hell, make the requirements the same as it would be for the Fish trade, 1k of a fish but make it something like 10 different fish so it's not too easy but also not impossible.

Are you talking about the Fish Market CI, or plain old Aquarium fish? If the former, unfortunately not as there is no way to differentiate those two items. If the latter, it's possibly something we can discuss for the future, but no guarantees we'd move forward with it.

Have you guys considered updating Gaia Aquariums? I started a Site Feedback thread as well as a petition which has collected 200+ signatures. This feature is just sitting around collecting dust when there is a market of people willing to spend real life money on new fish as long as the game gets updated. Please check out my petition for ideas on how you could monetize the new game so it would actually be worth spending the money to update it. (Link in signature)


We have. We have not because the last time we made an update to it, we had to compile the game in an antiquated version of Flash and even then not everything compiled correctly. At this point, due to the many updates that have occurred to Flash since it's creation the game would need to be rewritten. ...then there's the issue of Flash's longevity on the internet in the near future...

Is there a problem with aquarium and kindred right now or is it just me? My aquarium doesn't load, it gives a message that I'm not logged in and to refresh when I am logged in and have refreshed. Also Kindred lets me play a few rounds but then says runtime error. I'm not sure if these are related; just not sure what's up, never had issues before this week.

We recommend trying it on different browsers and computers first to see if it's a site issue, or if it's a hardware issue (hardware issue being your computer)

In the aquarium, I was told the error message:
"It appears as if there was a problem updating your tank. Perhaps you are logged out? Try refreshing the page and log back in."
is caused by having party balls in my tank. (I had tried a new browser and computer and I still got this message) What would be the solution to this? I'm not sure how I'd take those out if those are the problem since I can't get into the tank.


You'll need to send in a ticket so that the item can be removed from the tank manually by admin/devs

Aquarium Snow flakes seem to have a glitch to them where users tanks will glow in booty grab but the fish wont show up any leads on whats causing this glitch?


This is a known issue, but sadly we don't anticipate being able to address this issue any time soon. Even less so since major browsers are phasing out Adobe Flash.

If you or anyone having this issue contacts us via the help center, we can remove the Snow Flake item so that your tanks will function as expected.

Question:
Is there ever gonna be an update to Aquariums? We receive endless amounts of fish and Booty Grab isn't updated, so they have greatly lost their popularity and these fish really clog my inventory...

I, on the other hand, would love to play BG again as an alternative to Lake Kindred or other games! User Image


I don't have any plans for aquarium just yet. I think there are still more pressing matter for us to focus on first. Also aquarium runs on flash, so we probably don't want to sink time creating more assets in Flash until we port it over to HTML5. But then features like Towns will probably be ported first. sweatdrop
