Would it be possible to take aquarium and housing items out of the daily chance until those games don't use flash any more? can't even open mine to add fish or items, so the daily chance items just keep adding up...


We'll take note and make those changes next time we update the daily chance

Aquarium

Ok short version- Are some of the aquarium fish not available in stores going to be made available again (Aquarium Seahorse)?

Long version- There are many alchemy components that are only available from fishdrops. many of this fish drops no longer have fish you can purchase (Seahorse Scepter). thus making that formula completely useless. it's the long way around, but allowing the fish to be purchased to plat would be at least a start. or make the items available for direct purchase.

If there are any specific fishes you would like to see in the shops, please let us know. We will be looking to add Seahorse Scepter into the shops after checking with the team.

I've asked this question many times in past Asks, but I've not been able to ask again for a long time because of scheduling conflicts on Tuesday. Is there anyway you could make it possible to trash aquarium items and fish inside the tank from the inventory since I've taken out as many items as I can and can't kill the fishies no matter what I do, or trash the tank itself? I never put this stuff in my tank (and yet some how they got put in) and they've been stuck cluttering my inventory forever just sitting there. I don't benefit from Aquarium because I don't use flash.

We can add in the option to delete fishes regardless of whether if they're in a fish tank or not. Is that what you're asking?

When will Booty Grab be updated to be more... Profitable? Now that platinum is the norm, it's not even worth it anymore, since it averages to 1 plat every time emotion_heartbroken


We just made an update today. It should bump the profit to a few hundred.

Gaia Features/Booty Grab Glitch

Hi, Devs! Direct Links to aquariums to play Booty Grab and even anyone clicking to go to our aquariums in our signatures to play Booty Grab have not been working for about 2-3 weeks now. Can you please fix this? emo


Uh oh, what happens when you click on the link? Do you see a regular tank with no Booty Grab or do you see an error message? If so, what error do you see?

When you click 'Visit My Aquarium' on an aquarium in someone's signature, the link is broken and will not load a new page for a user's aquarium to show up. The link doesn't work when you click on it basically. This makes it impossible for us to post Direct Links to our aquariums in our Glow Threads and from accessing our aquariums and I have been using another link provided by another user who runs a tank thread.

Here is the link they gave me with the icon. It is the only way anyone can go to any of our aquariums at the moment to play Booty Grab. emo

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.


Thank you, Lanzer! emotion_kirakira


Uh oh! Looks like the lastest version of Chrome had disabled links that are inside flash banners. We will make a patch that will create a link right underneath your aquarium signature so everyone can still play Booty Grab. Unfortunately Flash support is slowly going away.

Gaia Features/Aquariums/Booty Grab

Since the answer for one of the pre-ATS questions is syaing that aquariums/Booty Grab will not be converted to HTML5, how long does the feature have until it's demise? Do you have a specific date and/or year? emo

Gotta' say, as a tank owner, I wll be sad to see the feature go... crying


Adobe will stop supporting flash in 2020. As long as browsers support it, you can play. There may come a time when browsers stop supporting it altogether.

I have heard rumors that Gaia Towns/Aquariums/zOMG will be discontinued due to the pending discontinuation of Flash, is there any indication of when this is supposed to happen?


There is no date set for anything. We are going to convert as many things to HTML5 as possible. The list of what will be converted and what will not has not been finalized.

Butt Lanzer already said Aquariums and zOMG won't be updated ninja
Or is there some reconsideration about that?


Not if he said it. I've 1000s of things I'm working on, so I had not even considered Aquariums and zOMG.

Aquariums still don't seem to be fixed for everyone. I keep getting a black screen with RSL Error 1 of 1 and Error #2048 at the bottom whenever I try to open my aquarium. Any ideas why or when that will be fixed?


Unfortunately the graphics server is still acting up. Hopefully we'll have it fixed tonight or tomorrow

Question - I get notices of aquarium glow times but the glow does not happen at the time specified. This has happened repeatedly to me and at least 2 other users. I posted a bug report in January and updated it several times, including today. I see no pattern of time of ignored glows. Why this is happening? Will you fix it? Thanks in advance.


That's an odd one, I'll run some debug and see why this is happening.

Question - Are there currently any plans to repair the gold/platinum issued by the Aquarium Overseer/Message in a Bottle? If the reward from the Aquarium Overseer is 100-odd to 222 it can several hundred platinum. Anything issued over this amount is 1 platinum. Similarly when selecting a winner for Message in a Bottle it is 1 platinum.


I'll look into it again and make sure it grants the proper amount.

In March Lanzer answered: "That's an odd one, I'll run some debug and see why this is happening."

Whatever debug Lanzer tried back in March didn't work. The problem continues. Can you try to fix this? Thanks..


I ran some debug and thought it worked fine. I'll check again. Sorry for the weird bug.

Why hasn't anything been done yet to fix the Aquariums fish inventory problem? We can't see fish in the inventory, only black boxes. Unable to see fish unless you drag them over into the aquarium. Also unable to equip aquarium decorations. It started around April 24th.


The image display problem should be fixed last week.

Another Random Question (cause AGAIN not sure where it goes) But can we unfreeze items from our Aquariums, since some of us NEVER use them?

[...]

I'll also have to check on the aquarium issue.

I know you have lots to work on, but have you had the chance to address the blank Aquarium glow question?

I had one at 6:40am Pacific today. The most I've had (that I've been able to catch in my own tank) in one day is three. Since Aquariums is my favorite Gaia thing, it cuts into my enjoyment quite a bit! Other people are also affected by this, of course, leading to fewer tanks to grab.

By the way, thank you for fixing the Aquarium in-the-tank inventory problem. Much appreciated!


Sorry getting aquariums to glow on command is harder than anticipated. I hope to find the root cause soon.

Can we unfreeze items from our aquariums? I also would like to know how can an item be frozen in someone aquarium that has no decorations/items, other than fish in them?


Please provide me with an example of items that are currently frozen and I can look into it. Not sure how that was caused in the first place.

I have been having an ongoing problem with Forums / Aquarium .

The Timer on my Booty Grab Thread no longer works . It just shows a Box with a Red Cross in it .

Is there any way this can be rectified ?
