Can you please go back to putting paw tickets in paw rigs? Paw rigs are just as expensive as human rigs, with no chance to get any tickets. Anyone willing to put forth the money needed to buy enough paw rigs to luck upon a ticket should have that opportunity afforded to them.

Features:
Will there ever be a delete account feature?
Like full on, the account is gone forever, any posts and comments become [Deleted User], or are just gone, the username becomes free, the whole shebang.
I'm sure lots of people would no longer like to have their emails associated with an account on here but don't want to go through the hassle of creating a new email just to accomplish that. Also, voluntary deletion of accounts would also free up a lot of names, and any items still in that account can go to the dumpster if peeps are worried about rare stuff.

It's possible, in the mean time you can go ahead and file a ticket at our Help Center. We'll delete as many posts as we can, change the username, hide the profile, and remove the e-mail if it's requested.

Which Hind of Avalon item was the first, and which ticket would be required to color it with a two-tone gradient (like the Brave Hind of Avalon (tail and hind's legs only))? The normal Rainbow Ticket, or the Double-Rainbow Ticket?

The White Hind of Avalon was first, it would more than likely take a double-rainbow ticket depending on what you specifically wanted.

Features
Would it be possible to create a feature that matches the items against what is currently in the dumpster dive against what is on a users wishlist, granting a wishlist item if present in the dumpster/random dumpster grant if not?
There's many items that never get listed because they're not profitable, and if this feature was also a goldsink I see it doing more good than harm economically.

This is more than likely not going to create because of the possible abuse it has.

What's the current status on the Hero's Journey EI? Like, is it finished, and Dr. Singh just got kidnapped by space pirates on her way to give the report? Is the dust from the no-doubt epic battle with the unveiled Lupus still settling, and nobody's figured out what happened yet? Or...?

I suppose with Lanzer back, the answer for this will be TBD... but userbase sourced help with tagging items? Maybe a SCAS project or something since staff/Mods are busy with more important things? 3nodding

Yes L0cke is silly as ever, probably more silly as time progress. New events after this year will channel his silliness.

Could we possibly get an update on whether or not Runway self-vote manipulation/cheating is being looked into, and whether any more robust anti-cheating efforts on the back end are being worked on? Thank you! heart

We're still working through all of this and trying to get a better understanding of how to resolve this going forward.

Events/items/12 Days of Chistmas
I noticed that the 12 days of Christmas grants started coming up around midnight/3am est but shortly after the link vanished from the header (checked on my mule). Since it's the 13th, exactly 12 days before Christmas when you guys usually start the 12 Days of Christmas Grants, is the link going to be reactivated soon so everyone can snag the first gift?

It will be back, no one will miss any grants, when it comes back it will be the link for the first day. smile

Question:
Lanzer said he was going to do something drastic to fix inflation. Any idea what that means. I hope they dont increase the mp tax anymore and instead do something like dropping 2-3 zeros off everyone's gold or a gold sink instead.
A good one would be make a new stub like an eye stub make it almost never drop then shove it in a gold shop rig like the style summoner. Theres a lot of items still needing rrs.

Just kidding I have no plans yet. But I'm open to big ideas to help keep things under control.

Question-
Is it possible that in the future we'll see other ticket queues have more attention to them like the rainbow ticket queue? For instance the Kindred seal queue where 6 months for mocks is considered the norm? I know you poor guys are over worked and I do hope you have time for a good holiday, but it'd be nice to see all queues treated equally. <3

Items/Features Project Ticket Queues
With the Dye Tickets, we face the issue that 2 people may submit for the same item. From my personal experience, the Dye Ticket queues tend to move a lot quicker than the Rainbow Ticket queues.
My question: Are submissions checked on all queues before acceptance to make sure that someone else didn't submit the same idea first?
Like, say someone submitted a Royal Icing Exorciblings with a Rainbow Ticket, and then 3 weeks later another person submitted the same item with a Winter Dye Ticket, but the Winter Dye Ticket gets accepted first. Is the Rainbow Ticket person just SOL?

Inventory
Would it be possible to increase the number of items we can trade? It's recently come to my attention that I should reduce my inventory but doing so by trading items 30 at a time to my mules is a daunting task. Could we possibly get 100, it would speed up the process considerably, considering we have been bombarded with hundreds of items if not thousands of items just in the last year if we participated in any of the events and or play Lake Kindred. To fully participate in the features on Gaia that means we end up with countless items in our inventory. We could use some help to manager our inventories, please.

It's possible but we'd need to do a deep code dive on this particular request. Because of the way trades execute, under high traffic conditions it may potentially crash things.

So how long have Lanzer and the others been back, technically? I was generally expecting to find out after the beginning of next year if we were going to be stuck with the other guys for another year.

As of yesterday the control had been handed off to us, so the other guys are now floating somewhere in the void of space.
However, it'll be some time before me and others have discussed what to work on and get some new projects going. So stay tuned on what's to come, probably after the new year.

I have to say I feel at ease that not just Lanzer but some of the finest original DEVs we back.

So, Lanzer being back is hugely positive and exciting for a lot of us. My personal favorite staff member is codemonkey. He created my favorite features on the site, Towns 1 and 2! owo
So I gotta ask, CAN WE HAVE HIM BACK SOON TOO? OwO
I've been makin' lots of outfits lately, and that's nice and all. But I haven't felt motivated to take them to Towns because well... They've been the same for a while now. Without codemonks to keep things fresh and new, there's less excitement :[
I haven't paid much attention to his progress making games for Happy Place. Anyone know if he's hit a goal and can possibly return to working on stuff on Gaia? ninja

For now it's only me, L0cke, and CP. There are others who would love to come back and join us, but first we need to make sure that we have the funds to add more members to our team. We'll get a slightly better idea once we pay our bill (fingers crossed) by the end of month.
