You know how the Marketplace and Shops will state "You own this item.", when it is in your inventory?

Is it possible for this message to state just how many you own; similar to the inventory? Which stacks the items or informs how many you have upon donating/selling/trash etc.

We actually have this feature if you hover your mouse cursor over the text!

Can we get a new shop that sells past RIGS and Chance Items? Because some items that are in the MP usually have no listings and those items are usually from past chance items and RIGS.

We don't intend to open a shop like this, but if there are any items you're interested in seeing rereleased, feel free to suggest them in this thread!

May I ask who drew Brennivin for the new Tailored Star RIG? I'm in love!

Unfortunately this shall have to remain a mystery!

Is it possible to make dynamic leg mods via legs that work based on your hand positions, like some arm mods, with a golden ticket?

Go ahead and shoot an e-mail to projectcustom@gaiaonline.com to ask! They'll have a better answer for you!

We're excited to share that we have some updates for Geemoji coming soon! So keep an eye out for the news! ninja

Can you add a way to sell or trash the Geemoji Ticket for those of us that don't want to participate?

Right now there is no way to get rid of it.

Should be getting fixed soon.

Recently after coming back to gaia, I noticed that a good portion of our guild members have been removed. This did not happen by any member of our guild, but they are gone. Can you tell me why this is happening?

Question is originally by Star VanHelsing

It's very possible that the users decided to quit the guild after so long, we haven't had any reports of people being randomly removed from guilds unless the crew has kicked them or the users have quit.

Are coupon rig items open for requesting re-release in the Rococo thread? Fiery Smarty Pants is practically non-existent even after being put in two different coupon rigs.


These items won't be released in general chance items, but you can totally petition for them to be rereleased via more coupon offers! This would probably do best in a Site Feedback thread as opposed to the Rococo thread, since it's sort of a special case. Thanks for bringing it up!

Will we be able to own more than 10k items without there being a problem in trading with others?

This is something that we're looking into, we don't have an ETA on when this might be addressed but it's something that we are aware of.

Can we get like a set of music that goes with each area?
That would be so cool.


This would be really cool, but at the moment we don't have resources for this. :C

What's the status of the daily prizes from the kindred team kins? They still give out a measly 500 gold every day.


We are working on getting these updated. <3

Would I have to use a Double Rainbow Ticket to recolor an item to make it in the "soapy" color scheme?


If you intend on having 3 gradients like the soapy color scheme, then yes.

So a lot of us are finding that over time Lake Kindred gets a little...grindy. Are there any plans in the works to involve a social element on-screen, or maybe some new mechanics? Or should we consider Lake Kindred, for now, to exist as a largely finalized form?


At the moment we aren't looking into this, though it has been openly discussed many times, so perhaps in the future! <3

Features "Runway"

Lots of Gaians have been submitting proof to many mods and admins. Some have even went as far to email you with the usertalk e-mail. People are still cheating in the Runway and nothing is being done about it. It's obvious that it's the same person winning when they are using the same items and same poses round after round. Some people are even using lots of mules in order to see and vote for their main entry. There have even been screenshots that were taken of people that were admitting that they were paid to vote for someone's entry. If people were scamming others in the forums for gold you would be all over it in a heartbeat. It's obvious that you're not holding the same expectations for your features equally since there hasn't been any ban-hammers flying around. These cheaters are ruining the fun of runway for everyone else that bothers to enter, it's not fair or right and it needs to be fixed/addressed instead of ignored.

Why haven't you been banning these cheaters and taking the reports seriously?
And yes we know that they aren't being banned because they are still at it every single day.
If you can't ensure that people will be following the rules and that you'll punish those who break said rules then maybe you should disable the feature until you figure it out. After all you did disable that save bucket feature in fishing because of cheaters using bots to exploit the game you still won't let us save buckets without a entering a captcha code first, it's time to disable runway until you can ensure that no one is exploiting it or at the very least start banning the guilty people.

This thread in Site Feedback talks about the cheating starting on the second page. I think it would be beneficial if the staff would look at it.

Sorry if this is coming across as "salty" I just don't like cheaters. People that ruin a good thing for everyone else just really irritates me. emotion_donotwant

As someone who has read these reports and am currently investigating this situation, I would like to address this as best we can. This is something that we are looking into. However, what everyone needs to also be cognizant of is having proof of someone winning on more than one account is not proof of the person cheating at Runway. Winning day after day is not proof that someone is cheating. This is not how we establish cheating, if that were the case, then when Fishing tournaments were available, we'd be having to ban users just for placing each consecutive month. The act of winning, be it with one account, two accounts, over consecutive days, etc is not and will never be definitive proof of a user cheating at a game or feature.

That being said, we are not denying the fact that there might be something going on, we do not deny the fact that there is the potential for nefarious activity going on. It's something that we are actively investigating and looking into, and if we find that cheating is going on, then the users who have been cheating will face the appropriate punishments. Unfortunately the investigation is taking a little bit longer than usual for a number of reasons that I am not going to get into right now. Rest assured though that it is something that we will be dealing with and it will be very apparent when the situation has been handled.

I know this has been asked multiple times in the past few weeks, but when will tickets be added to Flynn's Plunder? A lot of tickets have become awfully scarce.

Also, why doesn't the Ruby Ticket ever get put on sale?

Thanks!

No idea when tickets will be added to Flynn yet! Just keep an eye out! It's meant to be a surprise.

Is it true that the reason President Diedrich accused us of lying was that an overwhelmingly large percentage of Gaia users did NOT want a feature like Geemoji but either mistakenly thought we really did want a useless overpriced not readily available for all users feature or was somehow convinced aka brainwashed to believe that we did want when we absolutely emotion_donotwant

Our survey results showed that 70% of respondents were very interested in a Gaia keyboard app, we understood the passion from the Gaians for something like this and it resonated with us to fuel the desire to work on Geemoji! We’re excited to continue showcasing the amazing art from our artists.

Will the mobile app ever be updated?

We’re happy to let you know that we are having serious internal discussions about what we need to do to update the existing Gaia on the Go app and when we have an update to share with the community, we will. Until then, we think you’re going to enjoy all the awesome ways to share Gaia and its art with Geemoji!

Are the encounter rates of wild kin different from user to user, or do we all have around the same chance to run into the same kin?


They should be the same for every user! They are all based on luck. C:

Hi there, thanks for all the hard work!

I understand that we've been told the Mysterious Kindred Egg will be revealed, to quote, "soon," but is there a set time frame for when this might occur?

Very, very soon.

Who intends to apologize to members of D-Party and other fans/admirers of Diedrich for hate being tossed their way as a result of both the (weaksauce) April Fool's Day prank and the (lamesauce) Geemoji mini-event/reveal? They had nothing to do with either of these, but because of what the Gaian Powers That Be have done, they are being scapegoated for it along with the character of Diedrich.

If fans of Diedrich are being abused or harassed by other users of Gaia for their love of Diedrich in relation to Geemoji or the April Fool's Day event, then they should be reporting this abuse through the appropriate channels.

Feature/Item/ GC thing xd

ok, so currently you can gift all kindsa things to people using GC, but not actually gift GC.

Can we make it so we can gift things that some players may not be able to buy, like the GC outfit slots?

This probably isn't something we'll be looking at doing as GC wasn't intended to be traded amongst Gaians.

It's your favorite resident pesterer about Lake Kindred...
...Again...

So get that each place has it's own boss, but to be quite honest, Sandman, Fafnir, and Castor don't really pose a challenge like ole' Phantom Morty.
Is there any plans for more actual bosses in other, or future areas of the game?

And also.
Taru and Kitsuko coming back this summer?


There are plans for more bosses in the future! <3

I'm not sure about Taru and Kitsuko though!

EVEN IF IT'S A NO OR AN "IDK", PLEASE SOMEONE SAY SOMETHING. I don't even know how many times I have asked this question. At least reject me, but someone respond.

Is there any possibility of us ever getting an automatic inventory organizer button? (That would physically organize our inventory into the sections like hats, tops, bottoms, etc?)

I have 13 pages of inventory and I have painstakingly organized 6 of those pages because there used to be a button on the old organizer that organized our inventories by the 'section' and it disappeared with the introduction of the new organizer. I would just like to know if there is ever a chance of us getting something similar again. crying


At this moment we are not looking into this, but that's not saying it isn't an option in the future.
