Will it be possible on the marketplace to have a button where we can hide listings of items we own?

I know we have a button for items unlisted but having one where we can hide items we own would help item collectors like myself out quite a bit.

It could be something we look into as a feature improvement.

Would it be possible to have some sort of bookmark feature to mark our place in the main manga?

We can consider this!

Can you add more new stuff to shops such as The Treehouse and (more importantly) The Faktori? My friends and I love to meet up and catch up in our homes, but we'd like to see more themed stuff or at least some of the stuff on MP put on sale again (Xmas, Royal Thornhall, etc). Thanks

We'll be discussing updating these shops, but no promises in the immediate future!

Question: Is the Rejected Olympics REALLY not happening? The userbase is confused, a lot of us have been waiting since the last one for this event and the slimes being the same colors as the teams are sending mixed signals.

Correct. Unfortunately we will not be having a Rejected Olympics this year.

Can we have bigger trade allotments? 30 wont do. I often need to get rid of 100 things and depositing em for charity. Please can we have bigger trade allotments?

So what happens when 100 isn't big enough?


Maybe you can start charging for new slots? I don't think people will ever be satisfied, at least they have a choice to avail of over the norm slots.

Might take significant reworking of how the trade system functions to allow for people to buy new slots (not entirely sure, not a dev so I'm not sure about the inner workings of trade functionality).

Game - Lake Kindred : (recolor question)

Wondering if I recolor a kin, say.. Saikopamp
for example, am I allowed to take away 1 color
and replace it with just toxic-green themed, instead of 3, like the rules say?


It's my dream recolor, just wanted to know
if it's okay before starting a quest.


So!
It really depends. So you'd only have 2 colors?
As long as it isn't more than 3 colors, you should be fine!

Ok, so apparently the Rejected Olympics was scrapped. Thank you for confirming that. However, was Convert-O-Mayhem really the full extent of this year's summer event as well?

That is correct. We know that the Convert-O-Matic was something that had been highly requested from users along with wanting to know more about the Slime from our previous mini-event.

Can we please have more item requirement themes? Even if it's older themes that have different item requirements from time to time would be neat ((Blazing theme having a different red item requirement, Cats theme having a different cat item requirement, Dog Park having a different paw dog skin as a requirement, etc.)).

I believe we have some ideas around this.

Which are the rules of coupon items? Can they be re-released outside of coupons RIGs or do they fall under the 6 months rule...?


At this time coupon items are items not eligible for re-release in La Victoire. They do not have a six-month rule and can be re-released at any time in coupon format (whether it's coupon CI or a direct coupon offer). You can, however, request a coupon item with a Perfect Parcel trade-in. I hope this helps!

I remember a while back that you guys mentioned you would be updating stickies and rules and such for all forums.
Is this currently a "work in progress"?
I've heard some mutters from FA's and Mods about it, but I'm wondering if there's anything we can do as a community to help or when we can expect the new rules.

Still a work in progress! As for members, just using your community helps, we're trying to evolve the rules around how the community in various forums have evolved.

So a while ago somebody asked about why there's so many capchas in journals
as it stands every time you make or edit an entry you have to fill out one
and somebody said that you'd look into the reason why
and either remove or lessen the capchas

Is there any progress being made on this?

We're aware of it, but currently don't have an update for how we plan to address it.

Any updates on upcoming Quality of Life features like Nicknaming and such? The Summer Event didn't bring much (barring an unfortunately timed Release feature), so I'm hoping to hear more on updates to a game I really want to see evolve.


These features have not been forgotten!
We are still working on them. <3

Could you please host the Create a News Story Contest again? It's been about a year since the last one.

I think the community really enjoyed it, and it would allow people another chance to get the Open Newspaper item that was given out to all of the participants including the winners.

Love the idea, we can definitely consider it again.

Hello staff~
Can you guys tell me what you would consider Bubblegum on your scale of "seasonal" colors? To me, it seems like a scheme that'd be great all year round (although I'm very much biased wink ), but I would guess that it's probably more spring and summer like... I'm just curious where you guys place it, that's all! Thank you for all that you do~ heart

(Psst... I'd love to see more Bubblegum lovelies, like the Pokemon trainer items or BFS 2015 items... Trainer items we only have one and none of the BFS 2015 items are in that scheme. Maybe something to consider in the future? wink Thank you~)


I'm not really sure where bubblegum falls!
Pokemon trainer items in bubblegum would be amazing. <3

What are the requirements to become an artist as far as working with recoloring items? Do you have to be 18+?

What tips would you have for someone starting out with semirealism? And what would be a good pen display tablet for someone on a budget?


Question 1:
Yes, you must be 18+, because you do sign a contract.

Question 2:
I would really look into going into realism first! This helps develop your eye. After you can draw realistically, you can take a nose for example and stylize it any way you like! Amazon has a lot of really good tablets for relatively cheap! I got a Huion for a really good price and it's pretty good!

Will there ever be something replacing the charge orbs drop in LK?
I know they're necessary to take the place of handing out gold
so easily but the charge orbs need to go and have something that's
at least worth the time taken to kill a sycamorte.


At the moment, no. But maybe in the future!

Gonna admit that I'm disappointed that you cancelled Rejected Olympics as many people had been looking forward to see it. However, this is not the topic I like to ask.

From the mini-event we had few weeks ago, Zero Omega stated about the prizes for defeating the slimes. Have the prizes been given out?

We're almost done! About three more pages to actually go through.


Almost done already? Well, I doubt I'm at the last three pages, but I haven't receive the prizes from the mini-event... sweatdrop

We're granting everything out at once once we've collected all the user IDs.

Just to clarify , for the confused (still) the slimes , were evil and so are the star kittens.

Is there a problem with aquarium and kindred right now or is it just me? My aquarium doesn't load, it gives a message that I'm not logged in and to refresh when I am logged in and have refreshed. Also Kindred lets me play a few rounds but then says runtime error. I'm not sure if these are related; just not sure what's up, never had issues before this week.

We recommend trying it on different browsers and computers first to see if it's a site issue, or if it's a hardware issue (hardware issue being your computer)

Why is it that Gaia disallows posts promoting illegal drug usage... but created a subforum, the name of which is explicitly an illegal drug reference?

We actually allow people to have educational and mature conversations about illegal drugs and paraphernalia, what we don't allow are for users to promote the use of them.

Features-- Help Center/Tickets

Is there someone we can approach if our tickets have been open for multiple months with absolutely no reply from anyone? I've searched previous threads that have asked this question and the general responses from users are "I don't know," "just be patient," and "file another ticket." I haven't seen a staff or mod response, though I might not have looked back far enough and freely admit that.

I'm willing to wait on my ticket, myself, but I'm curious as to if there's an appropriate course of action. (Even if that course really is just "be patient.")

You can PM a mod or admin to check on the status of your ticket, it's possible that something might have caused it to be routed to a wrong queue or some other issue may have occurred where it hasn't been seen yet.

First, just wanted to say how much I appreciate the new rule change regarding mules and self-voting. Although it's a little soon, I'm curious: have you already seen a reduction in cheating since this change?

And are any other updates still in the works to further prevent any future cheating in Runway?

We haven't had a chance to review the results just yet, but are hoping to do so soon.

It isn't the last thing we want to implement, however, depending on how the results hold other things may be prioritized over it.
