Until when can we collect the achievements in lake kindred for the Easter event? It's going to be past April 1st right? Otherwise, it wouldn't have even been a full week, and worse, wouldn't have covered a single full weekend for those having already busy weeks.

We can't make any guarantees on this, but we'll keep this in mind before the end of the event!

Another Question About Tickets--Event Glitch Tickets

A lot of us filed tickets and made bug reports when achievements were not properly awarded to us a month ago because of the various glitches during the Unlucky in Love event.

After waiting 2.5 weeks, I got a message on 3/7/2016 from Jasmine from Gaia Inquiry Support, "I'll be happy to help you! We are still working on getting the achievements for this event out to everyone, and will be putting out a Staff Notice once this has been completed. Please remain patient and the achievements will be granted soon!"

All of us are still waiting (now for 5 weeks), and with another event just around the corner, it seems appropriate to have glitched achievements from the last event awarded.

When can we expect to receive our achievements?

We plan to grant these achievements out next week!

Will we get a couple days extension for the event, due to the several unexpected site issues? Even if everything is fixed today, that'd leave us with two days to collect all 5 of the alien bunny kin and hundreds of eggs for the alchemy formulas.


No one said that kin won't be dropping after the event. c:

is there going to be a stronger kin area in the event spot? 25-40 would be lovely. we don't have any areas for that kind of training right now.

I really like that there seems to be an add-on area to LK for every large event

but I have a question

will these areas receive an update when the same event rolls around the next year?

Or will the existing area be added on to/ given an update?


They will likely be given updates as the year goes on. c:

So on April 1st, we had a mini-event where Diedrich was being creepy on the header as well as saying we lied to him. But there is one thing that bothers me... ... ...

WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED?!?!

I went to bed because I have work and when I logged on, it was back to normal but nobody knew what happened. I feel like the event ended unsolved and undone. I what to know what the lie is.

Something something tickets darksiiiiiiiiiiiiiide

Event Items

I like to thank you for the freebies you gave us on April Fool's. I'm aware that the it's are reference to the "Not Release" we constantly encounter whenever we get new items. However, can you make a slight change to the items?

I don't mind whether it's to change the name or place an outline around the thumbnail. But the reason I ask this is because it will create confusion to the community when reporting items that are in "Not Released" form and we don't want to mistake the prank items as the items that need to be fixed.

We'll see what we can do about adjusting the item thumbnail to make it more apparent it is an item, not an "Not Released" issue.

I know this min-event that ended today was fun.
However it was also frustrating & it felt like a lot of us were being made fun of because we couldn't solve the codes.
Next time we have an event like this can you please don't make the codes as frustrating?

We can consider making some of the clues easier next time, or at least more clear. But a lot of the fun we saw that users were having were trying to figure out more complex puzzles.

Since Cindy pretty much confirmed last week we're going to be having a Rejected Olympics this year can you give us a heads up as to what month it will be taking place in? The actual Olympics take place in August this year and the last Rejected Olympics took place around the same time the actual Olympics took place. It would help with team planning to know what month to shoot for.

Nothing has been confirmed. Everything is fine.

The folks organizing this year's NPCon and I have a few very important questions to make the staff regarding its organization. We've sent many PMs to Zero Omega and other admins, as well as an e-mail to the usertalk@gaiaonline.com address, but we still haven't been approached. I have just finished sending another PM to admin Zero Omega regarding this issue, and I'd like to know if it would be possible for them to read it and give us an answer, even if it's a negative one.

Thank you very much!

You didn't get a PM from me yesterday? o_o

N-no I didn't...?

With the strong possibility of the Rejected Olympics revisiting again, will we get more paw items that have town colors too? Paws are sorely lacking in the town colors area (like almost none).


There will be some paw items pretty soon! I'm not sure about town colors though.

So the mini event we had a few days ago, the one that was inspired by the Pokemon Go teams. Next time you do a mini event can you give us more information about it up front like what the point is and achievement information without being vague? I know you posted something on Facebook about it but I only found that out after the event finished. I don't use FB much, and relying on an outside source for information about Gaia rather than having that information on Gaia to begin with is kinda dumb...


This is something that has been brought up before, and we will be more proactive to do. <3
I myself completely agree, and I think having a forum sticky or even just a reference post is very helpful.

Is there going to be at least one alchemy formula associated with this event? I'd hate to convert all of my slimes and opened up all of my eggs only to find out they're required for a formula released days before the event's end.

We do not have any alchemy formulas planned for the Convert-O-Mayhem, feel free to open all your eggs! Or give them to the Convert-O-Matic. Or make them explode.

Last year you approved the event however you didn't follow though because you moved locations and it was forgotten about... Not pissed off or anything so don't worry, but since that happened a year or so ago can you please do the Talk Like a Pirate Day event this September? It's on the 19th. I'd really like to have the achievement that goes with this holiday, I'm missing it from my collection. D:

We'll keep Talk Like a Pirate Day in mind for something to do, can't guarantee that we'll be able to do something for the day, but it would be fun to have something going on.

Does Gaia have longer term plans for how to add mini games to events again? We used to get them in flash, but would it be viable to develop some in html5? (if not up for a stand-alone, maybe could link it into LK so events have some options besides forum games and LK battle grinds...)


This is something we'd like to do, but no I wouldn't say he have plans to make it so, mostly due to present personnel and project constraints. Should a good opportunity for us to do so arise, we'll absolutely jump on it though!

Question: Is the Rejected Olympics REALLY not happening? The userbase is confused, a lot of us have been waiting since the last one for this event and the slimes being the same colors as the teams are sending mixed signals.

Correct. Unfortunately we will not be having a Rejected Olympics this year.

Ok, so apparently the Rejected Olympics was scrapped. Thank you for confirming that. However, was Convert-O-Mayhem really the full extent of this year's summer event as well?

That is correct. We know that the Convert-O-Matic was something that had been highly requested from users along with wanting to know more about the Slime from our previous mini-event.

Gonna admit that I'm disappointed that you cancelled Rejected Olympics as many people had been looking forward to see it. However, this is not the topic I like to ask.

From the mini-event we had few weeks ago, Zero Omega stated about the prizes for defeating the slimes. Have the prizes been given out?

We're almost done! About three more pages to actually go through.


Almost done already? Well, I doubt I'm at the last three pages, but I haven't receive the prizes from the mini-event... sweatdrop

Since I just noticed that there's this mini quoting event, why didn't we get a separate forum for it?(Much like the Mini Pokemon Go Event from before.)


Well there are many potential answers to this...

3. Aesthetics penetrate all barriers

So from last week I now know that Convert-O-Mayhem was the be-all and end-all of this year's summer event. Ok, fine, thanks for letting us know.

My question now is--why were the other parts scrapped? We had hints about Rejected Olympics and doing *something* related to the anniversary of LK for months before we got confirmation about the cancellations. Were you all just busy with something else and never got to finish them?


I believe the LK updates were just pushed back for a later release. Regarding the Rejected Olympics, we knew early on we would not be doing the traditional event. The RO has always been a pretty big project considering the all the games involved. This year we decided to put more focus on building out a nice system for the Halloween event.
