How likely would it be to get a button to automatically arrange our inventories? Like, say, alphabetically, or maybe by quantity, or LBP/ABP in the MP? ; u; I've been hoping for something like this for yeeeaaars.

We have plans to do that!

zomg art contest

can we get an update on the status of the zomg splash screen art contest? the entry deadline was two weeks ago, but no one has been in the thread to officially announce the end of the contest or let us know judging has started. i think everyone who entered would be really understanding if it takes a while to judge since there were so many entries, and i'm sure the Gaia artists are very busy with their usual work, but some sort of announcement in the thread to let us know judging has started/will start soon would be nice! thank you!

We'll have some information soon!

Features: Inventory arranger - Sellbacks

Would it be possible to add an option to sell all kins with certain details at once back to the store? (like sell all Lvl 1, solar flyvern with unidentified sockets?) Currently this is only possible with "fresh" kins which have not been loaded ingame and therefore do not show a lvl or radiance or identified sockets.

Probably nor likely! Not the in the near future.

Items

Can the gift cards stay in the cash shop permanently? It feels weird having to wait and stock up in the limited time that they're there, especially if they're supposed to be used for gifting.

In the future, possibly! Right now though we're unable to keep them in the store permanently.

Heyyy I emailed the userevents at gaia email a week ago & posted a couple times in last week's ATS about the GST's event for Gino's Birthday Party -- can we please get an announcement or two about it? We need some publicity!!

Is there any way that we could do something like TekTek did that told us our most expensive item (based on Marketplace)? Like, they had it to where there was a list of all your items ranked by going price on the market. It'd be helpful when trying to figure out what to sell in a big invo!


Yes sort by price will be an upcoming feature!

Is there any mod in charge of the chat? Some regular users of the chat and I have been sending reports of trolls and spammers for the last few months and the very same users keep coming just to fill it with nonsense and be all-around crass. It would be nice if there was anyone to keep an eye on the chat reports.

I'm going to be completely honest, I personally forgot this feature existed. Can you PM me the name of the user?

i saw from a previous ATS, that you are reevaluating the project tickets. if you do decide to discontinue the tickets all together, or an action that will limit their release, will the existing tickets still be redeemable? (like you did with the Pearl and Citrine tickets)

Sycamorte Seeds are both broken (again) and outdates; any chance of a fix and an update to include newer kin in the near future? All the kin that drop from it (even when they're not broken) are from almost a year and a half ago.


We will look into that for sure. Probably after the economy fix.

Dear Gaia team, Many items have 0 listings and they are low cost used to be over abundant items, NOW they dont have ANY LISTINGS and no one is listing them!

This and banned accounts may have these items and they are just rotting away on some schmuck that didnt obey the rules.

Can we please have an influx of items that have 0 listings? I am sure the MP algorithms can be adjusted to ensure EVERYONE can have the items they wish to buy if they have the gold for it.

ALSO, The circle jerking to keep items at 5 trillion and more, Please let only tickets have prices that are shocking, They deserve to be. But items? no item should be circle jerked into prices THAT high >< its disgusting.

Thankyou kindly <3
Love to all!


Hiya! Unfortunately in a lot of these cases the items actually aren't eligible for re-release, so when people aren't willing to part with their copies they tend to vanish from the marketplace. We have to take it on a case-by-case basis when re-releasing items, of course, but if there are items you'd like to see re-released, posting in the Rococo thread does help, as I read through those posts and can then check to see if the individual items being requested are eligible for re-release! 3nodding

Bug Reports

Is there somewhere we can post a full list of current site bugs for the convenience of Developers?
I used to have a thread about it in the Bug Reports & Tech Support forum, but it was moved to the Recycling Bin because it apparently violated the rules neutral

Gaia Guides & Resources would be the best place because it would be a list/guide. We can then make the devs aware of it after that point. We also collect and post all your bugs in an internal bug tracker that we have.

Inventory

It gets asked a lot, and I'm sorry for adding to the re-asking of this all the time, but will we ever see a mass trash/delete feature for our inventories? It's tedious, trashing/deleting one item at a time (unless you have multiples of an item) --
if you're looking to clear out a lot of junk in one clip, it could take a while. I think it'd help out greatly, for people who don't want to sell back near worthless items. cat_3nodding


The fact that it's prone to mistakes is something that kept us from implementing the feature. Maybe after we implement an undo function.

What do I do when someone I have on ignore is persistently trying to keep contacting me?
I've tried reporting, but its gotten to the point where shes trying to get my friends to tell me to take her off ignore.

Keep reporting or have your friends report the messages, I know that it can be a pain but every report helps to see if a case can be built for harassment when our team gets to the report.

So... officially asking again for the scheme used in User Image and User Image (aka Coral + Wintermint + Offwhite and sometimes Sable) to be officially named Sea Dreams, as well as a request for more items in it! I mean, it's so pretty but these are the only two items available for it! Booming got its official name from a CSU and since also received a few other recolors (outside of a user made bundle), so I hope the same can happen for Sea Dreams!


Sea Dreams it is! (I love the scheme too * w * )

Memoirii
Question Category Features

For the new proposed economy system:

So... on the marketplace listing page, there will be an extra column with the 'gold' currency along with the new currency right beside it? Or will it only display the currency you set your default to?

i.e. if the new currency is.. balloons (lmao) and it goes like:

Person A (gold default) lists item X in gold price
Person B (balloon default) sees item X in terms of balloons on page ---& balloons converted into gold for person A or person A gets balloons??


It'll be the currency in your setting, so person B will be paying in Balloons but person A will get gold. At any point any user can switch currency and things and nothing will break.

I know that right now the "hot" game is zOMG, but it's been a while since Lionheart asked the userbase for ideas to implement on LK and we haven't had many updates on it yet (save for a handful of MP- and trading-related bug fixes), so I wanted to ask, will our ideas ever get used, or is LK being ignored in favour of zOMG?


We're updating Lake Kindred as we speak, actually. New update will consist of many features requested by you all.

Have you all thought of expanding the GC shops to have more items of a type, consistently? There are items like the Mood Bubbles that could go to Mecha Neko, and so many pretty hair styles that might be at home in Rococo, to give examples. I understand you all want to rotate out some items as you are doing now, but why not have some long-term residents of these stores that could be good for lots of micro transactions? There are some items that are desired like the Manscapers and mood bubble accessories that might be nice candidates for a longer stay. I am well aware of the Rococo sticky, but I'll be blunt: there are things I've asked for over and over again that I don't see popping up on the MP or in the limited dozen or so items every few weeks you change around the stores.
Verge could also use some activity, as I believe it's been well over a year since anything was shifted in there.


We can certainly look into expanding updates for Mecha Neko, at the least! I won't promise anything for Rococo (as part of its theme is in having high value items, but also we want to make sure that we don't tank the value of these items to nothing), but we can definitely look into putting more into Mecha Neko that can stay around for longer periods going forward. 3nodding As for Verge, there are other plans in the works, I believe, but I can't speculate on that one.

I have no idea if this belongs under features but many users are having issues with the Captcha to post not working even when it's filled out correctly and have been having to use other browsers or the mobile in order to post.

I was just wondering if you were aware of this issue or have reached out the people providing the captcha.

Thanks for your time!


I'm gonna get rid of it until we have a better captcha. Hopefully we don't get attacked by bots meanwhile. sweatdrop

are there any moves being made to recruit new moderators? i've heard murmurs that it's not a priority and that applicants need a certain amount of reports under their belt to even be considered (kind of gatekeeping when the userbase isn't as large and um, reportable? as it once was)

i still very much see a need for more moderators so i was curious

We're always recruiting new mods! We're hoping to have a new round soon, in order to apply you need to have made 100 reports in six months, which less than one report a day.

Now if only you would recruit more SCAS members. sweatdrop

That's the plan today or tomorrow.

I bought a Love Charm rig today from the market. Then it glitches half way through. Then it gives me a different color Love Charm saying its soulbound and it leaves off where it glitches. SO I try to pick what movie I want to take the girl to and it gives me the weird error code again. SO I refresh the same exact rig is there soul bound not letting me use it. What do I do?


I just tested this out, and it looks like it's functioning correctly as far as I can tell, but you do have the chance of getting looped back to options you might have already seen...I'm afraid it's a really old rig, so I'm not entirely sure how to ensure it works, myself. sweatdrop If you're unable to get the item to work, you're welcome to file a ticket at the Help Center to request the item be removed and the gold you spent on the marketplace be returned to your account.

Odd question, way out of left field, but are there any plans to update features like Journals in the future? I'm not sure how often that they're used on here -- personally, I think I use mine every six months or so, as an emergency storage space for art that I don't have a chance to save right off -- but I think that with a facelift, they might be something that get used more often.


Things like Guilds will probably get a facelift before Journals. I use it every week and I'd love to see an overhaul myself.

Features: Forums/Threads

So. Some years ago a CAPTCHA was implemented when a person attempts to view a thread who isn't signed in. This was to deter spam. It clearly proved ineffective. Now you're forced to log in. This will also not deter spam.

Can we just go back to being able to view threads uninterrupted when we're not logged in. I mean really, do you know how many other forums I see implement something like that... Not a lot. It's very annoying and something that we have discussed a few times on the [unofficial] Gaia Discord.


No it was to prevent the site from going down when we get DDOS attacked. Not an easy task unfortunately.
