When are the Halloween animated getting removed? They make the fame absolutely unfun to play. They aren't in just one zone, they're in every zone, from Vilalge Greens up, and if someone new to the game plays, they're going to get destroyed by these enemies that they can't fight. With a supposed Christmas Event coming up, it'd be great to get a breather from the Halloween ones, which ahve overstayed their welcome from day one.


Somehow my fixes aren't happening. I'll need to go fix it again. Sorry about the long wait for the bug to be fixed.

Will there ever be a "full reset" option for zOMG? Or at least a refinement of the quest reset system? The game's still pretty unplayable for some people with bugged out NPCs. I couldn't say exactly why myself, but it seems like some event flags aren't reset along with the quests, making some quests unable to be completed after a quest reset.

We can definitely look into a full reset feature if people are still having quest problems. we'll add to the to-do list.

Zomg: Are the sewer areas disabled in Barton for the Christmas event?


Kind of, Christmas event load a completely different Barton map and there might be some features missing or bugs. I'll check it out later tonight to see if I can fix it

i don't even want to imagine the time and cost it would take to convert zOMG to HTML5. x_x

and with that, i have to go dog walking.


Oh my god... I wonder if CodeMonkey is up to the challenge? lol emotion_kirakira


He is not! Lol. The Zomg team, from what I have been told had a lot of devs working on it. I have heard numbers that at one time it may have had 12 devs working on it plus art staff.

When will the Christmas event on zOMG end? Along that line, why is the Easter event randomly popping up in certain areas/servers of the game? lol


Whoops, I forgot to bust the cache file. The event will end later this evening.

In ZOMG , there seems to be a glitch that started before Christmas . The spinning orange wheel is not showing up in Barton yet it's marker is showing up on the Gsp on there . Will this ever be fixed .


That should be fixed later today. The Christmas event loads a different map file that seem to break the orange wheel. The map file will be reverted soon.

Any news on the zOMG updates? I asked last year about the potential of Shadow Orb doubler items and if I remember correctly was told that this item new monsters etc. are planned to be added.


I thinking of another event later this year, but got a lot of planning to do before that.

Yo, Lanzer! Please put back the Barton Bar map. gonk There are people that want to complete the End Boss quest and don't get their Ring/Recipe rewards for beating it because it's still the Halloween Pier map!


Whoops! I'll add that back tonight. Was going to do it last week.

Could the Shallow Seas End Boss Reward get updated to reflect platinum?
Last time I went it I think it gave out around 23k gold which ends up being 1 plat.


Sure, I can look into adjusting the plat payout for zOMG.

Rewards from instances (like the Endboss, PS) drops only 1-7 plat instead of like more than 100 gold? And umm...the barton bar and ghost pier. If its not the priority right now, then we'll have to wait, I guess? Sweetheart ring re-released within this week or so? Thank you very much! <3


I'll be upping the reward very soon for zOMG. I thought I fixed the Bar last week, will check again tonight. (as well as the pier) . We will put the sweetheart ring on sale if it's not already.

Since I read Lanzer mentioning that Aquariums code is so old, along with his not mentioning but other's mentioning that zOMG's code being old as well, once all Gaia games are upgraded to HTML5, will these games be left behind? Meaning, not exist on Gaia anymore?


We will always have them available. You'll just need a browser that can run flash.

Orbs have been tradeable for quite a while now, and as a result, people have been selling and trading them to other users. Since orbs being tradeable is technically a glitch, a few users and I were wondering if Gaia would re-release the Integrity and Abuse rings in response to it? Integrity for those who did not trade/sell orbs away, and abuse for those who did.


The orb tradable bug had been fixed last week hopefully. sweatdrop

Yes there will be another abuse/integrity ring event coming up

With zOMG being back up for a year now, will anything new be added to it? It's definitely gone back to being barren because of how stale it gets, and with the many bugs in it, and how it's gone the way of Lake Kindred of being just a gold/platinum farm zone, adding something or some things new would definitely help it out.


We only have small updates for zOMG, as flash content is very hard to receive updates. It's hard to find help in adding flash content and any new effort had been focused on HTML5 moving forward. I wish we can put more time into adding more content for zOMG also.

Are you planning easter event in games like zomg, Kindred? and there was a game i remember you always brought for important dates called switch or switched (idk)


zOMG will have the old easter event back, as all holiday events on zOMG runs on a scheduler and will trigger when easter happens. eek

I'm just curious, and obviously it doesn't matter now, but was Easter never activated on Village Greens in zOMG? I never saw any eggs there the entire event and two days before the end eggs stopped showing up on Gold Beach as well.


Easter eggs were setup to spawn on 5 different maps. Though the frequency does depend on visitors.

Is there a way we can obtain summons in game other than marketplace, could be an epic recipe or something harder but obtainable at last


Good point, I'll look into earning them through events.

Are there any plans to update zOMG! in the future? Anything from access to other areas like Durem or Aekea or even the original plan of connecting Buccaneer's Boardwalk to the Isle de Gambino. Just something to give the old players something to do and potential new players something to look forward too.


zOMG was developed in Flash and unfortunately having to create more assets such as towns in Flash is very unlikely. We're looking into the potential for porting to other systems but haven't found a good way to do so.

Any plans on fixing the broken quests in zOMG, as in the ones where you go to the NPC and you can't talk to them for whatever reason? I recall one of them was the "Finding Elizabeth" quest in Village Greens.


I can look into the quest reset feature, it should be able to reset the quest for you so you can start over.

Can he look into fixing up the "Collectible" tab under Character Info? There's currently 42 slots, and there are 45 Rings total, so obviously not eveything shows. sweatdrop

5. Daily Quest (Like the Daily Wheel) gives GREAT REWARDS-
6. zOMG 10th Anniversary Event (Integ/Abuse/Game Update)-
7. Automated start of Seasonal Events -

8. New Rings? Recolored Mobs? Shadow orb drop increase? New Area?(Impossible but still, gonna ask anyway!)-
9. zOMG's Transition to HTML5 -
10. Removal of Total Charge System-
11. Re-introducing the more Elaborate "Ring Stats" Section in the Ring Inventory UI-
12. Fix Graveyard Pier Music Track -

13. zOMG Monster Database -
14. Reactivate Old Minigames (Goof& Fountain Game) -

Advertisements(in which you can close after seeing it) in zOMG Loading Screen?


Thank you for the indepth zOMG suggestions. We will increase the platinum reward for sure, and we will work on adding more events. I do like the train station repurposing idea and it's very much possible, maybe as an event. I'll take the rest of the ideas into considerations also.
Lanzer
Thanks for the suggestions. Though HTML5 transition is not likely, we can work on a lot of the other ones such as bringing back Goof.

Misc

Does reporting a user for trolling, intimidation, threats, flaming, and bullying, malicious intent, stalking inside a Flash space (including zOMG) can get the person suspected to be doing that bad things be grounds for a temporary ban or a mute? zOMG is getting a lot of complaints in the community that some people are being harsh, mean or bad and some being elitistic to other people within the game although they haven't done anything wrong. Reporting and Ignoring aren't working well against it. What's your point on this?

P.S- Report button in zOMG doesnt work.

Only context and looking at the report can say for sure what would happen to the person, but generally if it is an actual abusive situation, then some form of punishment is issued against the user. Unfortunately we are backlogged in our flash space area reports, so we likely haven't had a chance to see the reports in question.
