We need some more torties! There's only one item, and it's incredibly outdated. For all the cat items we have, this is a really sadly low number when there are so many tortie lovers out there!

Same with more recolors of black & tan shibas. I would love to represent my little bundles of fur more with my avatar. Pleaaaase.
I am here for tortie love (Mutie the Cat was my recolor!) I do want to let you know a couple more torts have arrived!

All the cats here are tortie and there's one on the hat on this!

I'm really glad that after 2 years you finally released another item in the bluebellvine color scheme! Please keep making more of them! (BTW I liked how Excited April M didn't have any brown in it, as opposed to the other item in this scheme, Calm Ghosting Around, did. I think it spruces it up and makes it look overall more vibrant! 3nodding )
ty for supporting my sweet child scheme -w- I definitely like it better with the ivory too~ Sometimes schemes take a little workshopping to find where they're just right~

Yeah! I think you did a good job on it, and this iteration is perfection! Spared (broke) me a quest and ticket from making that scheme myself in '15 at least razz

what is bluebellevine?
Tea Green + Cotton Candy blue! There's a few items at the moment~

that is beautiful! what is the cotton candy blue and ivory called?

General Question:
If ZOMG runs on flash and there isn't enough people on staff to overhaul the whole game-
-won't that mean it will have to be shut down? I was also wondering about astra items as
well; what exactly is the plan for dealing with them? Some are part of full blown item sets.

I'm not a developer so I can't say this with absolute certainty, but as far as I understand, the "death of Flash" is more that Adobe won't be providing anymore updates for it. Kind of like Windows XP, you can still use it, but Microsoft won't be updating it to secure any issues.

Additionally, as far as I understand, no browsers have gone on record stating that they're going to update their software to remove the capability of using Flash, just that it won't be automatically enabled and you'll have to enable it yourself. That, of course, could change, but I don't think I've heard anyone say that Chrome/Firefox would be doing it anytime soon.

Any word on getting an opt-out button for the daily stamp card? I know it was on the to-do list back in August when I last asked, but is there any kind of ETA on it yet? I have over 200 of them combined and the only way to get rid of them would be to open and trash each one individually. gonk


Sorry the opt out had been on the back burner for a while. As we're short on user preference system flags, I will work on a way to rid of the items easily.

So we have a lot of schemes and new ones showing up all the time! Is there any chance we could get a list of standard colors?

I’m trying to compile one on my own but it’s kinda hard as it varies slightly due to shading. I know it’d be a lot if work though so maybe bit by bit like the Tye Dye ticket colors? I’d use those by colors vary even in there


Great suggestion! It would be a fairly time-consuming project, but we can talk about the best way to do this!

A few of these are

[Animal] Ghost Noctus Fur
[Animal] Ghostly Aerling Fur
[Animal] Ghostly Ursadew Fur
[Animal] Ghost Leafkit Fur


Usually items are marked as available as soon as the first user put it in the marketplace. Though there might have been bugs that cause items to be not marked as available. I don't think they're related to animal item types though.

Are you planning to re-format the current Astra items from Flash to HTML5,
and release new awesome Astra items in HTML5 format in the future?
It would be awesome if this happened, I'm sure the Astra items would be popular again.
We are looking into it. It isn't a straightforward conversion.

how come there are some items with no tags, no mp history, and are unable to be added to your wishlist?
here's an example

Might mean no one has ever listed in the MP before
wouldn't you still be able to add it to your wishlist though? there's a whole set of these items, including oragami stars and flowers and they all come in like 3 different colors.

I think the item must first be listed in the MP/tagged before added to wishlist
Recolors still act as an unique item

Brought this up last ATS but didn't' get a reply, so gonna try again.

So, is the unreleased item (Labeled as "Nothing to see here" in the old Invo Arranger) that used to be the last MC letter be turned into something?


Unfortunately we will be removing that old arranger once we have the new one up.

Are you sure you're not confusing that with the April fool's item?

No, because the joke one is in the clothing tab, while this one's in the special tab.

Here's the screenshot from the old arranger with them next to each other.

Not sure about the type of item, as "donation" item type actually stands for any item type that provides a choice to open. There might had been event items in the past that we removed, which might cause this type of issues also.


Lanzer
Lady Saxophone
Items: Astras

With the death of Flash in the near future, I was wondering if there are any plans about what to do with Astras?
Will they be kept and turned into regular "still" items? Or will you be leaving the feature alone until the rest of the internet officially kills Flash?


We certainly can have a non-flash version of astra item. We've been thinking through different animation ideas but it's a lot of work, and more importantly it takes up a lot more space than Flash as HTML5 don't actually have real animation abilities other than to animate things frame by frame like an animated GIF. Anything we do in the future will probably be similar to the animated background effects.
codemonkey37179
2sammygate
items/features

even though you've said in the past that some of the animations would be far inferior under HTML5, wouldn't a far inferior animation be better than none at all once flash is killed?


In some cases, a conversion may not even be possible. We are looking at alternatives.

Are daily stamps still soul bound? Because the lock has disappeared from all items but those are the only ones that don't have the little 'this item is soulbound' blurb, so people might think they could trade the unopened stamps only for it to not be true.


We're actually allowing soul bound items to be trashed or sold back to store, per Gaians requests. Please let me know if you come across any problems.

Soul bound items still cannot be traded to another Gaian.

Misc:
Recently, users discovered that wing stickers, orbs, and shadow orbs were no longer soul bound. Was this intentionally done or is it a bug? There's been some confusion regarding it.


Sorry there should have been some messages regarding the changes.

The items are still soul bound and cannot be traded to others. The change is that you can now delete soul bound items in your inventory.

Hihi Team! Merry Christmas to all heart

I was curious about what is going to happen to the Astra items since Flash is being phased out. I personally love the Astra items and feel it would be a big shame if they were gone forever once flash finally gives up. Is there any chance of reworking them with a different system? (I admit don't really know much about programming, and I realise that no undertaking on Gaia is a small task.)

Hope you are all having a great December and aren't feeling too cold.


I don't have a solution to the Astra problem. At least not yet. I've done a few experiments but there is not a quick fix. I will keep trying and hopefully have a solution in 2018.

It is not cold at all here. Is it cold for you?

Can we possibly get a play again button on the rigs that come from the daily stamps? All of the rigs that come from before 2k15 don't have play again buttons and it takes forever to open them.


Unfortunately it's hard to make a change that affects all older rigs. If there are certain items then we can go in and make the changes, but probably not "all items made before 2016".

Last week, Lanzer said he was going to ask the artist team about what's going on with Hero's Journey. I'm curious if there's an update to report about it? It hasn't been updated since April 2016 and many of us are still impatiently waiting for any little sign that maybe it might be finished up soon!


I haven't gotten a date from the art team yet, I'm sorry.

Can we get maybe a little more male/masculine items perhaps? You look at RIGs especially lately and there's 1-2 male options amidst a sea of 6-10 female options. Even if I do like the male clothes in that RIG... the odds of getting male items is lower because there's fewer of them.

Guys play Gaia, too. sweatdrop


I'll pass down the request and represent!

Events?

At the beginning of last year (nearly exactly a year ago), some of the Artists took over AtS and an absolutely adorable free gift was created for the users who posted in the thread. We were since promised more of these sorts of take overs, with users being able to ask questions to the artists and the freebie being released some more so more users could get it. It would be great to see this happen and bring the item back into circulation too!


I shall give a gentle nudge to the art team.
