We've been told several times that the RIGs that drop in-game would be changed at some point but nothing so far. Most RIGs have been in there for so long that some were pretty new when added, over 3 years ago, but there're others like Bitter Frost that not only can be aquired from the daily stamps but it's almost 8 years old, so I think changing the RIGs is pretty urgent, and if the new drops are less than 2 years it'd mean a nice deflation in many items that are still popular and it'd help a great deal with the economy and could be an incentive for people to not only farm for gold gonk


The ability to change out the RIGs, add new Kin or new area in LK all rest in the aspect of Gaia needing resource to do so. In the past the art team had been trying to prioritize resource into adding new RIGs or adding new levels, but the team was not successful. It's a tough situation where it takes money to create new assets, but because those features are inherently free, it's hard to find the money to do so.

Art for cash shop items help pay for the artists who worked on them, and the rest help pay for the site itself such as server cost, rent, followed by basic salary and benefits, etc. When there are money left over, we will definitely put it into the features mentioned.

Could you please re-release kin eggs instead of the drops, like you did in this bundle? User Image. You should know there are a lot of people that has asked for Pixkit, Skelekin (I even have it in my WL) and the Ember recolors to be re-released, we want the eggs, not only the pets emotion_0A0

Do you mind doing me a favor (sorry if you have already done this!),
but post Kin Eggs that y'all are questing for (that are eligible for rerelease) in the re-release thread

Will you consider raising the Kin level cap from 50 to 100 at some point?


That's something we should consider if we have new levels to be released. For the time being we'll have to wait.

last week someone asked for the RIGs to be updated in LK
and lanzer responded with basically, that there isnt enough time or resources for the artists to put forth the effort to do it.

however i believe the user wasnt asking for BAND NEW RIGs in LK
just different ones that have already been released in the past
considering the RIGs currently given, have been the same ones given for quite some time now. a refresh would be nice

all things considered it should be a matter of just changing the prize lists, right?

also, saying that they can only afford to work on things thatll bring in revenue...
does that mean you guys dont think LK is worth it? that LK wont bring in money?
because it definitely has a dedicated fanbase, and itll be the only game to survive the flash purge... so youd think youd wanna bring it up rather than try to keep it down...


Sorry I mis-understood the question at the time. Yes we will be updating the RIG pretty soon.

Lake Kindred has been on the backburner for quite a while, understandable since we need to work on more pressing issues. However, we have a major issue with kin-egg supplies. You're not doing a good job with supplying them and it's causing shortages and inflation. This has become a major pain in the neck for the Lake Kindred community. Gaia needs money, this is beyond apparent. You have a great chance at making a profit if you start selling kin-egg rigs or kins by themselves in the Lake Kindred Pet Shop for Gaia cash. One of Gaia's biggest problems is ignoring features that have the potential to bring a profit. Lots of people rely on Lake Kindred to make plat/gold for their quests. Lots of people like to collect the items that the kins give out when you level them up. Some people that are questing for one of each kin are having a hard time because they can't find sellers for certain kins. Time to use your newest game to make money. Staff, will you please look into fixing this irritating supply issue, please?

Before someone asks "well did you put any of them in the Rococo thread?!?" Yes, every single one of them.

I've created a list of kins for you to take a gander at, staff. I don't think you're fully aware of how many need to be reintroduced. I've griped about kin supplies before but nothing was done about it, so I did homework for you.
    * Some kins have zero listings or very few listings.
    * Some kins only have high level kins for sale, no lower levels.
    * I included kin evolutions to show that those are having issues with rarely being listed due to a crappy supply as well.
    * Some are user-made that could use a re-release.
    * Some were from old events and they are now a pain to find.
    * I did try to leave out kins that were avalible in-game, but I could not remember all of them. If any of those made it in the list just ignore them.

Thank you for compling this list for us, in the past few weeks we've been putting Kindred into Rococo, Mecha Neko and in La Victoire. Some for direct purchase and others in bundles themselves.

Hey staff
Items /Kindred?

Would it be possible to add a sellback option to the Wind-up Mice/Drummer Mice/Soldier Mice since they have a pretty frequent drop rate and are plenty on the MP (like 4 pages for wind up mice).
I really don't want to trash them...and pretty much every other drop kin has a sell back except the Mice


I'll check with the art team first, probably isn't a problem

If you aren't planning on doing anything new for LK this Valentine's Day, could you pretty please re-enable the drops for Valentine's Stagony and Lovebug? Temporarily, at least. Maybe even throw Sweet Lovebug into a RIG. Both would be much appreciated!


Sure, we can bring back the valentine's items for Lake Kindred.

A few months ago, some of us were having a problem where we couldn’t un-equip our kin (the animated one that shows in the forums). That seems to have been fixed, so belated thanks! However... today, I was looking to see the new kin next to my avatar and… nothing. There are no kin anywhere in the forums. Is this bit possibly glitched now or were they maybe removed for some other reason?

I did try clearing my cache, undoing my adblocker, checking “show all images,” and all that fun stuff. Still no kin bouncing next to me. (I’m using the latest version of Chrome, but I also checked Firefox.) I'm not sure if it's just me experiencing this so I haven't posted in the bug reports forum yet. Just noticed it a little while ago.


Uh oh, we optimized some code and that seem to have broken kins being loaded. We will have this fixed this week.

Is there any chance Lake Kindred will get an update, either in new areas or new RIGs, anytime soon?


We are currently working on small updates for LK. We will share more details once we're closer to releasing it.

Could we please have a quantity option in the in-game shop, just like we do in most/all other shops? It would make it a lot easier for people looking to mass-buy potions.


Adding quantity might take some time as we need to make some backend changes. Will let you know once it's updated.

I saw in the newest Pledge announcement that LK is going to be getting some updates. Woohoo! (Also, some excited, embarassingly clumsy flailing.) Any hints? ninja

Shops

It's can be frustrating and time consuming to load the Lake Kindred game every time we need to buy Lake Kindred items. Also new and returning users might be confused and unable to find the Lake Kindred shop, because it's hidden inside the Lake Kindred game. Like others have suggested (https://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/t.105649107), it would be so much easier if we can just buy Lake Kindred items in one of the existing Gaia shops in the Shops Directory. For example, The Treehouse shop is very related to Lake Kindred. You could make a new "Lake Kindred" tab in that shop, so the shop will sell both Wing Sticker items and Lake Kindred items. What do you think about this?


We can probably add the more popular items into one of our stores! It probably wouldn't be in the Tree House but we can find a store they can go and make sure to update you when we have figured it out!

Do you plan to re-release the Kin Narwheel again? I noticed older kin being available for purchase in rococo. I'm sure lots of other LK players would love to have this rare kin in their collection.


The Kin is still available in this month's Narwheel actually.

I know [Kindred] Narwheel is still available as a potential prize right now, but once the feature is discontinued... will the kin egg ever be re-released? Not right away, I know, but after the 6-month cooling off period. Eventually.

(Saw a few users ask last week and didn't remember seeing an answer-- if there was, disregard this!)


Yeah it can be re-released!

Will there also be a Lake Kindred event for Easter? We haven't gotten any LK events in the past couple of years and it would encourage use to play LK more frequently.


We do have an LK update coming, but it's separate from the Easter event. Timing will be about the same though.

There seems to be an issue that after equipping the kin to you in game, that after a few minutes it won't show up with your avatar in the forums unless you go back and reequip it. Some of us like to showcase kin that way, so it's disheartening to have it there for a moment and then vanish.


We'll look into that bug. We did made some changes to optimize the code and it might need some debugging.

Any news on the coming update? I'm stupid excited about the new boss and whatnot. No worries if not! Just nosy.
And maybe still hoping for a baby Groot style Sycamorte but, hey, a girl can dream.


It's still in the works, Ethe is busy making assets.
