ToS Update/Clarification

Pertaining to the new Marketplace GCash to gold conversion. I think the ToS rule about gold funneling should be updated. It states gold funneling from throw away accounts. What if the account isn't a throwaway account, but an account a person is using to generate free GCash to buy their own items to get the gold and keep the item to resell to themselves or another person?


Assuming the offer is legitimately done and we do not receive reports of fraud from the offer company, then this would be something we allow. Even though the Gaia Cash provided via the offer is free for the Gaian, we still get paid for that offer.

Paparazzi is putting together a "magazine" that will be a collection of user-created articles and art put together in one thread. Would it be possible to publish this in the Gaia Blog? Who would I speak with about this?


Shoot an e-mail over to gaiablog@gaiaonline.com, we have a nifty new alert feature for it to ensure that we’ll see your e-mail!

Items

For Loyal's items, can at least all of the LQI and LTI items have a sellback? It's a bit frustrating to buy one and not even be able to sell it back for half the original purchase price. For items like that, a minimum value feels good to be able to sell for.


Good suggestion! We'll see about possibly enabling the sell back on these items.

Flynn's Plunder

Was it your intention to make Flynn into a gold generator all over again?

Well given that Flynn gets the gold and the gold is then deleted, it doesn’t generate gold, but sink it. This was a test we ran, Flynn will return to bidding in the next round of plunder.

Hello again. I've notice that there is an achievement for reachin' level 15 in switchem. User Image It appears to be glitched. A few of us have reached level 15. (I even completed level 15) It is not grantin'. Is there a way it could get fixed.

Thank you. heart

Stupid achievements. >C We'll take a look into the problem with these achievements and see what's up.

Do you think we could have achievement and hunter as titles?
You could have an achievement for havin' so many achievements. emotion_kirakira

Sorry haven't been able to attend AtS for a while, work an all. So I have a few questions this week.

Officially taken down as a suggestion for future achievement titles.

Hey gaia I asked this about this a few weeks ago but, you didn't respond so, I'm asking again!

So, I started to notice that some of the NPCs have made forum post a few weeks ago! (Like how Rina made a post about dresses a few K-Pop stars were wearing!)

I was wondering if there's a chance we may get more interactions like this in the future!


More thank likely cat_wink

Is it illegal to be able to grant ourselves gold to a mule account by purchasing an item from their MP store with cash from our main account? Please answer. I need money for my charity and this seems to be the quickest way to get it myself.

This is not something that we will be disallowing, you are free to do this so long as you are legitimately obtaining the Gaia Cash.

Could we get the GC part removed from Flynn's? While it doesn't negatively affect the economy, I think the fact that her shop is our goldsink and it is now a hybrid shop... kind of isn't fair to us?

Also, easter eggs. wink

I also like how you did the tickets. You should do that monthly or something, and get some of the more obscure ones out there too (Amethyst, Pearl, and maybe even Obsidian or Sapphire).

This was a test run, may or may not return in the future, but the next Plunder will return the bidding. Also heard on the desire for Easter Eggs.

Is the new marketplace feature intended to be permanent?

At this time we have no intentions to remove the feature. This mindset may or may not change in the future.

Loyal's is still missing some of its stock from that glitch a couple/few weeks ago - the [Animal] Halos, AFKs, OMGs - will they be returning like the hair extensions did?

Damnit Loyal! *shakes fist!!!!* We'll see what we can do to go ahead and fix this.

I like the added security that the secondary authentication feature adds to my account. However, when I turn it on, the "remember me" option no longer works, and I have to punch in my login credentials and secondary auth token every time I visit the site. Is this how it's supposed to work? It'd be nice if I could just stay logged in on my home PC.

I feel like it should actually work this way, the intent is that you get access for secondary auth upon every log in. But I'll see if it's possible to get an official answer for you.


Thanks! It would be mighty convenient if my home PC could remember my credentials, and any other PC required the auth token.

If the Remember Me feature isn't supposed to work with the auth token, maybe the checkbox shouldn't be there?

Art

Well my question is what´s the art that we are allowed to post in threads-profiles?, I know as long its not sexual explicit. but I was wondering since I did an art of my avatar, but I added a censor block on it because I found it more appropiated even if theres no a sexual theme.

adding the art as sample and to know if its allowed to be on my profile

http://i.imgur.com/kRTQxoC.png

Sexually explicit art wouldn't be allowed, artistic nudity, however, is with the appropriate warnings. So with regards to the specific piece of art you linked, that would be something we would allow to be posted on Gaia as a link with the appropriate warning behind it. You can find more information about this here:

my avatar equip page has taken a minimum of 60 seconds to load after the inventory worth feature was added. same with the inventory itself. i have about 9.5k inventory items, most of which are equipables. this is ridiculous.

is inventory worth ever going to become optional, or am i just going to have to keep away from gaia until it stops lagging everything avatar/item-related?

We've had our developers take a look into this and the inventory worth calculator is not actually causing the delay. A lot of the time the problem with slow loading inventories is the massive size of an inventory that a user has. 9500+ items is certainly something that might start to stress the full loading of the inventory, so you might want to consider moving off some items that you aren't using.

Can it maybe pretty please be considered that more male items are recoloured using the nice colour combos that appear to be trending currently on Gaia?
Like Melon, Vivd Rainbow, Pink Lemonda etc?
Items could be Kama's series, Fighters, Hangout Spots... and tonnes of others emotion_kirakira



Great suggestions! We'll look into it! yum_burger

This thread brings up an interesting point. Considering you had to region lock Mecha Neko because you weren't allowed to sell sponsor items to non-US users, it seems strange that users can sell them via the GC option on the marketplace. Is this a mistake, or were you able to work things out with the sponsors and get a thumbs-up on it?

Thanks for passing this along! We're actually taking a look into this!

I just realized that I bought the original cat reaper item in the cash shop when it came out a couple weeks ago and never claimed any prizes from the rewards tier, should I file a ticket about it, or is it too late?

How does staff feel about users making things like this? Not to sell for profit, obviously, just to have. It's my new favorite shirt. I feel like a cult member when I go running.

As long as you aren't trying to make a profit, go for it!

Can we have another kickstarter with some great items to drive some serious gold sinkage? Maybe a background? Cash shop quality items to really get a lot of people to shell out gold for them.

We'll definitely be doing some more gold sinks like this!

Is there any update on what you plan on doing with the whole selling and trading issue in the Adoptables subforum regarding adopts acquired from other users?

We're currently taking a look into this policy and when we have something decided we will post an announcement in that forum.
