So... any plans for Valentine's Day?


We have a small event planned, and since it's a non-forum event, we'll bring back the fortune telling feature for the event forum because of that

Features/Items?

If there's going to be a Valentines event, are we going to be able to get new Valentines items? It'd be real great if we could get some arm mods with foods like cakes and chocolates or flowers and balloons from an event. Something a little more unique than the typical hats, socks etc that no one really uses much anymore sweatdrop


Yes there will be new items, though I haven't seen them myself. Haven't done much as I've been doing nothing but coding all day. We will find out very soon!

With the primaries going strong in the US, I have to wonder...

Anyone planning on running against President Trashcan this year?

Will it be Diedrich 2020? Or someone else?

It would be cool to have an election event!


This time around I'm deathly sacred of the election outcome. We'll see about having an election event later.

Anyone you voting for during the primaries?

Cash Shop- Sweetheart Ring

Every year around Valentine's day, you guys would put Sweetheart Ring in cash shop. I was waiting for this month to come just for this ring but you didnt put it up. Can you guys put Sweetheart Ring in Cash Shop for limited time? Many users want one.


Sorry we forgot to do that earlier. The ring is now in the cash shop.

Not really a question, just a friendly reminder about temporarily re-enabling the Valentine's kin drops in Kindred Wilds and Zen Temple (Lovebug, Sweet Lovebug, Valentine's Stagony)! emotion_bigheart

Unless, you know, the plan changed and they're no longer being added this year... in which case, disregard. Or if I missed them. Which would be embarrassing but also 100% possible because I'm easily distracted.


Uh oh, sorry, we might have missed doing that this year, let me check with the team. sweatdrop

will the other valentine's event items be released later?

(any chance to re-release last years event to those that weren't able to get them?) they are super expensive in the market, which leads me to believe it wasn't just me that missed out on most of them


We re-released some of the past event items last Christmas and we did receive some good reception. We didn't think about doing that this year, but will keep that in mind moving forward. Given the Valentine's event will end in a few days we'll probably start doing this next time around.

Features
Even though your initial plans to release the additional story branches for the Valentine's Day event didn't work out, it would be so exciting to see Gaia Stories being released as a feature for the site! Will the Easter event have a Gaia Story branch too?


Currently we are finishing the storytelling feature so anyone can help create stories and branches. Soon afterwards we will work on adding more stories. For Easter event we had some other games in mind, but regardless the storytelling feature should have a new release coming soon.

I've had a few people ask and I wasn't sure of the answer myself, so, just wondering: when will the Valentine's kin be leaving the game?

Not that I don't love having them there-- I do, I really do-- it's just that I know some people are still hoping for a lovebug drop and aren't sure how much time they have left to try.
Also, I love the artist(s) who turned Lifegiver into a kin. You're awesome.
I can leave them in until the end of March!

What is the next event you're working on? Summer now? Will the storyline be released again for that event or whenever it's finished?


The next event is going to be the Easter event in April. Codemonkey is gonna be working with me on this one.

No story game for Easter as we're focusing resources on releasing the user contribution aspect of the feature.

can powerups be added to the easter eggs like in trick or treat pumpkins or the barton tree?


Not sure that halloween pumpkins have a power up. Will have to look into it. It would help if you elaborate why you'd like to have the powerup be added too.

Events wise I loved the Valentines day event, Took me back to the Gaia story and npc's !! Would bringing back a more story based events that progress Gaia as a whole be possible or maybe in the works??


We have a lot more plans for the storytelling platform including ability for Gaians to create their own stories also. More details coming soon.

Is this Soaring Halo April Fools item a joke / reference to me and my Archangel's Halo? If not, what's the joke? Cause this is the only joke I can find examining this item...

"A twist on the Gaian classics"

For the record, I do find it funny if it's poking fun at me. dramallama


I don't believe that the theme of the item itself was a joke, nor was it created with any one person in mind.

We are currently working on the Easter event, it should be released this on Easter Sunday, or earlier hopefully.

A big thank you for having the Easter event on zOMG! this year! Would it be possible to adjust the plat reward given for killing multiple Golden Eggs? Right now when you kill a Golden Egg you get 1 plat (except for your first golden egg, which gives you the Regal Adornment bundle) or an item for recipe crafting. Most people won't bother killing any Golden Eggs after their first because there's basically no reward, and it makes it harder for anyone who's still trying to get their bundle to kill an egg, since whittling down 20k hp at 1 damage per hit takes a VERY long time unless you have a lot of people.


We will adjust the platinum payout for the golden egg later this evening.

Could you make Switchem a permanent Gaia game after the Easter Event (both in the app, and on the website)? I think it's a simple but very nice game, perfect to play on the go.


Yes, Switchem wil be here to stay after the event!
codemonkey37179
We certainly will have it around for events. No plans to make it permanent at this time. We will be adding new exciting games to replace the flash ones currently there.

Would possibly making an online album of the zOMG! soundtrack as well as tracks from the various holiday and promotional events, as well as chat world music from along the years be a possibility? Huge Gaia Online fan.


I'll look into putting all the MP3's in the download section

Is the Olympics summer event delayed until next year now that the real Olympics have been delayed until next year? 😱😱😱


Yes, it would be kind of weird to have an olympic this year and then not have one while the real olympics is going on

With the zOMG Easter event, once you break a Golden Egg or Solid Golden Egg after the first time, is it only supposed to give out 1 platinum as a reward? I remember getting more in previous years, and I've seen people pass up helping others in zOMG because there's no incentive to break them, as they can take at least 2-3 hours without much/any help.


Sorry we recently moved everything to the gold granting platform but it's not granting the amount of platinum we want. Once the bugs are hashed out it'll be granting the right amount of gold. Sorry about this.

For the game switchem is the plat granting intentional? Also sometimes when you click to replay you get an error and then plat is not granting.

Thank you so much for the event. It is fun!


The granting is intentional. The error is not. I'll be looking into it.

Question:

We get other event like Halloween 2k13: Vengeance?


That was a great event! Uncle Kenny and I were up to the wee hours on that one. That is the event where switchem was launched.

But to answer your question, I just don't know. A battle event would be fun though.

With Towns 3 basically upon us, will we be seeing a summer event that can be town focused? (coughcough town wars coughcough)
