heart heart Hello Gaia Staff and Admins! It's a great day today! Hope ATS would be smooth and eventful! Thank you for your efforts to make Gaia the best! heart

Games: zOMG
Straight to the point.

Is there a priority/important list on zOMG on fixes/updates/maintenance that we could know of/released as announcements? And what are your time tables/schedule for them to get done and get working in-game? If so, can we what updates/fixes are those? Details on their current progress? Their supposed release dates? What are possible things to be done in zOMG with the current resources of Gaia? Thank You! <3

Regarding the SMEB reward and plat drops:
I understand the point that farming plat rewards from the Shallow Seas is enough and fixing the SMEB reward would cause Inflation again. Platinum is balanced and stabilized as of now and that's a good thing. But we do hope that you might consider to fix it to reasonable rates that wouldn't cause Inflation soon(For example, SMEB reward can have same amount as the plat reward from 1-2 vaults/chest from SMOB (about 500-1k plat should be enough), which is fair).

The 7 plat random drops for every enemy works great! Thank You! Some areas are almost farmable due to this and comes in handy for low level players who wants to farm but cannot afford to go SMOB yet. Still, it needs to trickle down until to the weakest area to have maximum effect.

Followups from the previous ATS that still hoping until today: Bring Mini-games back even if glitchy (Goof,Fountain Game), zOMG Gold Potion reworked effect (exclude zOMG to nerf for 3 days), Old Station comeback (hangout), The "Ring Stats" in the Ring Inventory, Integ/Abuse event(10th anniversary?), Area/Story Quest Resetter, Badge Resetter/Remover, Graveyard Pier Music Track, etc.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR ANSWERS AND DECISIONS ON EVERYTHING! heart heart heart


zOMG updates happen whenever I slip in development time between projects, so there had never been a solid timeline and dates, though Goof and fountain games are definitely coming back, we're also planning on other new events that involve the integrity ring. I hope last week's platinum grant adjustment helped, and if there are any specific bugs please let me know.

[[zhivago is heavily featured in zomg but doesn't actually do much that's significant gameplay-wise-- what was his original purpose supposed to be? was he supposed to come in more significantly at a later chapter?


I believe the team had reserved him for a much later chapter but never got around to it. It's a shame for his character design is really cool.

Just wondering, there's a lot of hints dropped in zOMG about possible expansions to Aekea and Durem--is that something that, at this point, is basically dead? Should we give up hope for a zOMG expansion?

I just started playing zOMG for the first time last month and the story is left on quite a cliffhanger.


There won't be an expansion to Aekea and Durem, as we don't have the bandwidth for building the expansion. Though we are planning for some new events down the road.

When will people start to receive the Integrity Ring for not abusing the glitch that made orb-trade possible?

Approximately how long do you think it will take?


I think it'll probably come out after summer. We are still planning on that event at the moment.

can we get some more items of zOMG in alchemy? i wanna see zOMG theme alchemy recipes for zOMG items. i know we have back alley bargains doing original zOMG items but i wanna see cool items that dedicated each area of zomg like outfit for zen gardens (ninjas, kimonos, monster inspired outfits) that way more people get into zOMG to search for more ingredients or use the already made items from back alley Bargains items


I've made the suggestion too, hopefully when more Gaians request for zOMG items the art team can make it happen!

If there are any bugs you wish to be fixed, please let me know. We should have a new event for granting the integrity ring in the near future.

Will we have Dani back into the Zomg scene? I ask this because in the npc related voting event they show her in the list of NPC's that are well almost forgotten.


A lot of what we do down the road will depend on how many votes each NPC get, then we will create events and prizes around them. Can't guarantee if any specific NPC will get more attention just yet.

Any updates on fixing the broken quests/resetting quests in zOMG?
Specifically the issue with the Papa Saw series of quests?
Also plat drop for smeb? As far as I know it still drops one plat.


I'll take another stab at resetting quests.

Hello gaia and all gaian staff (lanzer, codemonkey37179)

anyways my question(s):

Will there be more alchemy items? if so can there be more items dedicated to zOMG and the areas of zOMG like zen or golden beach cooler versions of current clothing we used to make just in back alley. i wanna see not only newer clothes but maybe to where the clothes help give a boost for certain areas or just boosters to receive more powers?


I'll ask and see what we can do as far as zOMG alchemy items. As for power ups, currently the game doesn't take clothing into account for defense, so we wouldn't be able to do that just yet.

Hi Gaia Staff!

Games- zOMG
A list of matters needed to be addressed in zOMG ASAP:

Where are the other zOMG Servers - No more Server Cycle? -
At current writing of this post, are the only servers available working at the moment are Bootsnake and Landshark? I mean, how did it happened that all servers broke down? Is there a connection with the ongoing server migration?

Fountain Game - What's the progress? Is it ready to come back? heart

"Goof Course" Badge and New Upcoming Badges? -
The grant for the badge for discovering the Goof Course is still broken. Needs bug fix as well. Also, will the Labtech and Seacycle Badges be added soon?


We had a lot of work cut out for us this month due to the server migration, but as soon as we're done we will look into the badge and fountain game.

Meanwhile, we should have the server restart script fixed tonight.

Features:

Can you give us a roadmap or a brief idea of what your plans for future site development are?

Such as; when you think towns 3 might be done, if and when zOMG will get updated to HTML5 or get new map areas, if current flash games are getting upgraded to HTML5 or not, and when you think the storyline driven events will start up again(from the Gaia NPC poll we had).

Any info that you are able to give is appreciated by the community.


I'm working on Towns 3 right now. Maybe a few months? Not sure because all the features have not been finalized. Everything that can reasonably be converted to HTML5 will be.

Is Halloween Event gonna be related somehow to zOMG or just reactivate the old Halloween Event for it in zOMG? (The Old Trick or Treat one, where we earn the Badges for dealing with Pumpkins or so, besides the Ghosts and Jack)


While we're building a new Halloween event for the main site, zOMG will have the same event that from last year. I'll see about adding new prizes.

What will happen to things like Badge Quests once Flash is eliminated? Will there be other ways to get these badges in the 'new games'?


Well, this is a bit embarrassing, but none of us know what the badge quest is.

That's ok!
It's this page.


Oh! No plans for that at the moment. Which since we didn't know what it was... should not be surprising.

will zomg ever be an iOS game? I use my iPad for Gaia and can’t play anymore because there’s no flash
I really miss playing and would pay to do so again.


It's unlikely because of how many rings and monsters in zOMG have to be transferred if we port the game into iOS. Although with other platforms getting more tools, we will keep looking into the possibility of a migration.

Will the Fluff Bundles 1 and 2, and zOMG Action Packs 1 and 2 be available again in Back Alley Bargains? Thanks! biggrin

Fountain Game? Any updates? Old Station comeback? whee

Again, still waiting for the fix for the grant of the "Goof Course" badge in the Goof Course in Village Greens. heart

Any updates on the zOMG Scripts for the private server thingy?


Will look into adding the bundles back.

zOMG updates are paused while we focus on server migration in October. I'm sure the goof badge can be fixed, and Fountain game will also return soon.

Events/Games (Halloween, zOMG, and LK)

With the Halloween event expecting to arrive soon, could we expect any tie-ins with zOMG and/or Lake Kindred? I know there's so badges in zOMG that are only obtainable around Halloween so I'm hoping to see those animated floating around to get those badges and LK needs more love, I'm hoping to see a new land opening up or at least a new kin/item set.


The zOMG halloween event will be back along with changes to obtain any of the event related badges.

surprised I'm not sure if this has been asked yet or not sweatdrop and I'm sorry if it has. I've tried to look back and see if it had been asked, and couldn't find it. But I was wondering if our favorite little zOMG ghosts will be back again this year for the Halloween Event. It's something that myself and many of my friends have been looking forward to this year xd heart


Yes the zOMG halloween event will be out very soon!

For the Halloween, can we have pumpkin fluffs that spawn outside Jackyard again? Or at least, have the ones in Jackyard have lower health? The kill badges for the pumpkins are incredibly difficult to get compared to how they once were years ago.


I see, I'll look into that. I can make the weaker fluffs show up more often.

I'm sorry to bother you, but according to this post, made earlier this year, there would be an Integrity-event (for not trading orbs) "probably after summer" somewhere.
Hence, I'm just curious, is there more information available on when and whether this would happen?

Also, on a similar topic, will there be a zOMG Halloween event?

Thank you in advance.


Sorry we had a couple of bigger projects which pushed the integrity event back. We will work on it as soon as we can.

Will we be able to Trick or Treat in ZOMG's Barton Town this year for the two badges that require us to do so?
I wasn't able to do this in the past because I didn't have a clear understanding of how I was supposed to do the requirement for the 'Jack O'Smasher' and 'Pumpkin King' badges.


I'm not familiar to the tow badges so I'll need to look into it. I will make sure it's available in the event.
