I asked about this item last week User Image And was told that it'd be added to the shops later that day. Well, it never happened? The marketplace listing now says you can find it in stores, but it says they're not in there? Help. ;_;


I remember this. 'Twas I who wronged you! The shame of it all! gonk

It looks like there's a bug at work-- I'll look into stomping it. I'll quote this post again once I have some more information on those items.

Can you consider making a new loyal rig soon and put items that have no listings in it? I ask mainly because there are many items on the mp that have no listings at the moment.


Loyal's Bazaar will definitely get more chance items in the future. If anyone wants to suggest items for him to summon from the abyss, they can feel free to post a thread in Site Feedback or Gaia Community Discussion with ideas. biggrin

These NON-LIMITED items are STILL missing from Loyal's Bazaar. It's been months for some. When will they be restocked? Most were confirmed by Staff during previous AtS that they were "removed accidentally" and would be returned.

• [Animal] Halos
• [Animal] President Diedrich Pillow
• Mr S. Chompy Pillow
• Aiden Pillow
• Murasaki Pillow
• G9 Laptops

• Eminent Commander


I just added these to Loyal's Bazaar. They should appear within 20 minutes. If they don't, feel free to quote me again so I can look into the issue! smile

Can Dernier Cri please get monthly updates like the other gold shops? Surely it cant be too hard to put one new item in there each month. That shop is so neglected it isn't even funny and it's a shame because that shop has some pretty cool items.


Dernier Cri is a special shop that does need a little TLC, and we definitely have some plans for things we would like to change or add in the future. I cannot guarantee or specify a time frame or release schedule at this time, but thanks for your suggestion!

Shops/Items

The exchange rate for cash/gold in the MP is: 50,000,000g to 1 GC.
If that is so the why do we have to pay so much cash in the gold shops to get cheap items? Example, Flamingo Inner Tube is 1230 Gold, but it costs 21 Gaia Cash. That is not equal to the conversion rate... Not having the gold shop prices match the conversion rate seems silly, I mean it only makes sense to have it equal throughout the site not doing so is ripping off your users.


The current gold shop / gaia cash exchange rates were determined by an older system. They could definitely do with some updating! Thanks for the reminder!

Last week I asked about adding content descriptions to the Kindred booster packs in the shops and was told they'd be added by the next day. They still have not been added. Could someone please do that?


I HAVE FAILED YOU.

I AM SO SORRY.

I will do that right now, before ATS is even over, I'm doing that as we speak. I am SO sorry.


Ok, totally updated. Give it 15-30 minutes to cache. smile

Can we have any info about CrossStitch's contests? It has been so long since we had a contest, it feels like the feature has been scrapped.


Sadly, there wasn't a lot of participation the last few times Stein hosted a CrosStitch contest crying

If enough people show interest another may appear, but for now we do not have one in development.

Could we get a Ticket that allows us to recolour a single pose Gold Shop item several times to make a set?

We'll think about it! Interesting idea!

Back when CrosStitch was still a thing I submitted a design that didn't win.I was wondering if I could add that item as a pose for a mini golden ticket set I would like to make. Could I do that, or would being a former CSt contest entry somehow make that not possible? I just want to be sure before I bother trying to get the ticket.


You can definitely repurpose your design into a Ticket submission. biggrin

Why did Loyal's Shuffle get pulled after that weird error (the whole wouldn't sell but was still in shop thing); Is it coming back?


It was actually supposed to leave the shop before then (on 11/30) but a bug kept it in the shop... but like, in image only... does that make sense? It was like a Ghost Shuffle. A spooky Ghost Shuffle that we exorcised as soon as we were made aware of. emotion_bandaid

Ok, Loyal is on a rampage and I know the problem is wide-spread. I was wondering when you are going to fix the glitch that causes Loyal to remove people from the store and taking a vast majority of their tokens.

I am currently missing 210 tokens, which is ridiculous... I have PM'd and quoted, and got no response. When will this problem be addressed and fixed? It has been over 100 days since the problem first occurred and I made a thread.

Sorry, we're still taking a look into this to see what exactly is going on.

Sadly, the last few contests held by Stein were not very popular and we had very few entrants. If enough people showed an interest in the return of these contests, they may resume in the future!

Question Category Shops

Question: Lately you have been adding tons of new things for the cash shops. Yet I have not seen new things in the gold shops. When will you be adding new items in the gold shops?


We do gold shop updates at least once a month! Same as it has been for a long time now! In February we added a ton of new things to the gold shops actually! (Even more than usual)


Rance Clear

Items

Why did you stop selling user-made items at Crosstitch? Now they're sold at La Victoire, which can be problem for those of who don't/can't buy Gaia cash.


User-designed items made by exchanging most Tickets are generally released in La Victoire.

User-designed items that go into CrosStitch are usually created for item design contests! So it's not so much that we're moved user-designed items as that they are coming into existence via different means.

biggrin

I wasn't sure what this question would fall under when it comes to category, but I was curious if you guys are planning on bring back CrosStitch contests again? It's been quite a while since the last one was held and the shop has gone update-less for a bit!

It was one of my biggest reasons for coming to the site for a while, and I know I certainly miss it!


Unfortunately our last few CrosStitch contests did not garner a lot of participation, so we've retired that contest for a while. If enough people show an interest, we may consider launching another, but for now we do not have any plans for another CrosStitch contest any time soon. Apologies!

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.

Final question for today.
Was it intentional for keeping the Style Summoner rig in the gold shop for such a long time?



Yep! Brennivin will probably rotate it out next time he feels like releasing a similar chance item.

Could there be more black american / textured hairstyles available in the salon? Such as low cut fades.

So a few years back, y'all released updated versions of the flame tops/bottoms into a RiG. What are the chances of you guys doing this with more old school gold shop items, but releasing them into the gold shops instead? I know that the 'In Da Hood' hoodies & sweatpants could use updated versions.

It's something we can consider in future gold shop updates. ninja

You know how the Marketplace and Shops will state "You own this item.", when it is in your inventory?

Is it possible for this message to state just how many you own; similar to the inventory? Which stacks the items or informs how many you have upon donating/selling/trash etc.

We actually have this feature if you hover your mouse cursor over the text!

Are you guys aware of the price bug on the 10 pack of Ye Old Trove of Forgotten Things? The shop lists it as 2b but when you go to buy it, it charges you 2.25b. Can one of them be fixed to reflect the true price preferably making the end price 2b like it's listed in the shop


We're aware of this. Thanks for the heads up!
