Have limited quantity items sold directly in the cashshop been discontinued?

You'll be seeing them soon with the release of a new feature.

Features(?) - Captcha

The SolveMedia Captchas are all broken, and they appear in a lot of places - profile comments, forum posts, Runway voting, and I think journals too? There are a lot of threads about it in Bug Reports. Ad-block was suggested as a possible culprit, but I have that disabled on Gaia and the Captcha still won't work. Can we switch to a better Captcha provider or an internal system like in Lake Kindred?

We're hard at working to get rid of SolveMedia and replace it with another captcha!

Site Features

The wishlist feature is so outdated. Is there any plans to update this? The vertical scrolling down and dragging items is such a pain (and cannot be used on mobile or touch screen tablets without a mouse and even then, it's a bit complex to use). I can't sort by item types or sets or whatever. I have to do all of this manually and sometimes it doesn't even save. We could really use an up to date wishlist feature and one that is mobile friendly.

We'll throw it on the pile for feature updates!

Features: Alchemy - Possible Formulas?

Is it possible to make bundle formulas for Amethyst, Aquamarine, Diamond, Emerald, Garnet, Gold, Platinum, Ruby, Sapphire, Topaz, and zOMG caches? Maybe in 50 & 100 pack increments? Possibly 500?

We have the ability to craft Philosopher's Cache Bundles in 100, 500, and 1000 packs; this is wonderful when we have a multitude of unopened caches that we do not want clogging up our inventory.

With the recent wing formulas that were released, we are hoarding several hundred of each type of cache in order to craft the formulas, and this in turn clogs up our inventories. For some of us, such as myself, we've already been hoarding many of these caches for mass openings for alchemy. The bundles would help immensely when organizing and it would be wonderful to also donate caches to people in higher increments than the max 30 items that trades permit.

This is something we'll have to think about!

Shop - Go Fusion

Diamonds and Star Charms

Thought - Since the hearts drop from caches, would it be possible to do this with the diamond and star charms? or ????
I am told these drop on rare occasions in Kindred. I have yet to obtain one there.

We'll take a look into this.

Any new details about the "inflation" project, maybe an eta?


We still have A LOT of work to be done. Probably another month of development at least.

Events

With that fairly recent conclusion of the ZoMG splash screen art contest having taking place, would it be possible for Gaia to host another art contest that would give users a chance to reimagine and draw up new looks/costumes for the current Gaia NPC shopkeepers?


We should have another NPC art contest. Probably next month, as the art team is very short handed this month due to the conventions taking place.

Can we get an update/explanation for Hero's Journey please? 🙂


I believe this is something on the to-do list for the future. Can't give an exact date, but definitely something we're aware of and want to get back to :]

Any more info about whatever's supposed to replace MCs? We were told we'd see it "very soon", but it's already been two months without a peep.

We actually have the item ready, but we're waiting for the right time to release it. Sorry about the wait. @_@

Could we have the domo emote back please?


Hi there,

The copy write owner asked us to remove it from the site, so unfortunately we can't bring it back, sorry.
Lanzer
Sorry, we were asked by the copyright owner to remove it. One day I'll add customizable emotes for everyone.

Hey so the Baebie item is one of my favorite items on Gaia of all time! I love the cute legmod it has. All the versions of Baebie have all the skin tones.....except for Trashy Baebie.

Was that on purpose? Because if it was that would be really really uncool gonk


That was a user-designed recolor using a Dye Ticket, which I believe was limited to 10 poses, I'm afraid, so that will be why the leg mod skintones got left out. Sorry @__@
Sorry to butt in, but several official artists have said that the new rule for recolors is that the leg-mod skin tones would count as one pose, the same way a drop-down arm pose would count as one pose. We would have to chose Natural or Fantasy tones, same as the arm-mods. They also said that this would be applied retroactively, I think? Was this one missed?


This is true! However, the creator of the user-made must e-mail in to get the change applied/get the rest of their legs.

As for "We would have to chose Natural or Fantasy tones", you are only allowed to pick Natural or Fantasy if we have done the fantasy tone in the past! If we have not done them before, then we do not allow you to pick fantasy.

Though as usual, if a legmod comes with a 7th pose/CC pose you are allowed to change that tone to another tone.

Given the recent decrease in drop rate of the zOMG Caches, would it be possible to adjust the requirements for the zOMG Michael's Wings from 550 to something like 200?

We can take another look at the balancing.

Miscellaneous

Is there... A place where we can see how many reports we've filed on Gaia? Since there's a minimum of them required in a certain span of time in order to apply to be a mod, I'd like to be able to check how many I've made along the way. I'm not always in a place where I can write them down when I have to send them in, so... emotion_8c

I believe you can go to gaiaonline.com/nda and it'll tell you.

Do you guys not support Google Chrome browsers? My actual question is do you guys know how to get rid of the giant play button on my character's avi on a Chrome browser?


That play button is put there by the chrome browser to stop flash from automatically playing. Chrome doesn't know the difference between a video and an animated item, so it pauses playback. We support Chrome, but can't go around it.
Lanzer
I haven't found a way to circumvent the Google flash auto-play disable function.

Though it can't be fixed on Gaia's end, there are options in Chrome to get around this! In both settings and flags the browser can be told to prioritize flash and autoplaying it 3nodding

(If this was already answered sorry! I'm still catching up from page 8 )


Not sure it will work but this is what other Gaians are suggesting

on a side note, pretty sure this will go overlooked cause its an old question;

Old chance items based on sponsorships like FMA brotherhood, black butler and scott pilgrim. Any chances of ever seeing these again? I missed out on so much and I think it'd be great for the newer users to also have a chance at experiencing these items again without having to pay TRILLIONS for a copy :/


I'm afraid that sponsorship items aren't generally eligible for re-release, as the sponsorship period has ended sweatdrop

Question Category Features

Is there any plan to better categorize items in the marketplace by recolor (including site and user recolors)? I feel like it would be easier if items were grouped together with a link to recolors for ease of browsing? User Image


That's a cool feature. First I need to add sorting for inventory though.

I will assume that is a no for future home updates and items :/

Right now I'm trying to figure out how to move existing home items, and the homes themselves, from flash to html5, so we need to solve that problem before making any new items.

Perhaps you're the wrong person to ask but, if / when you move the home items and such from flash to html5 would it be possible to do a similar thing with astra items? (I know nothing about technology, sorry if this is a dumb question).


No, you got lucky. I am the right person to ask. They can not be easily converted though, and not every item can be converted. Also, we would have to write an entirely new system to display them. It is on my list of things to look into.

How much will zOMG be updated? Since it was re-released, will this be very slow, because I'm very curious about Durem or Gambino Island and so on...


Hard to say about new areas, but I do want to have new events and other new content. Once I have more resources lined up I'll post about it!

Dumb question because it's been a while since I really paid attention, but...

Did the items that were formerly in Back Alley Bargains (e.g.: Ghostly Splicing Shard Bundle, Charm rigs, etc.) ever get relocated somewhere else or are they still unobtainable? sweatdrop


They kind just... disappeared tbh. Idk if they plan on bringing it back or what but when z! came back it was like the shop went back in time.
*grumbles*

Alrighty, thanks!
If there are items that were previously in Back Alley Bargains that you'd like to see us re-release, it helps us if you comment in the Rococo thread with the specific items! I can't promise they'll see a direct re-release, but I can at least see what I can do to help get some of those items circulating again :]
Takuya Kanbara
OV8ION
But those items were available for gold. Is it really ok to bring them up in the Rococo thread?


It is! I do what I can to look through that thread to find items to re-release in a number of ways, be it through direct store re-release, item generators, or other methods. We can see if they can be relocated, or if it's something we can do by way of putting them back into Back Alley Bargains, it just helps me to see them in that thread so that I can have them in front of me when doing that work specifically 3nodding

Features: RTE

So many moons ago now, Lanzer posted about using an RTE. That has since gone dark. No word has been mentioned about it. Is this still a thing? In his example I noticed he used CKEditor. CKEditor doesn't have a good PHPBB BBC engine (they don't PHPBB support all). There's only one RTE that I've found that has a PHPBB BBC engine, which is WYSIBB: http://wysibb.com/.


RTE efforts are on hold because of a lack of interest from the community as a whole.
