As GoFusion is no longer receiving updates, could we get some sort of RIG/grabbag that contains the current and past items? It could go into bifrost, loyal's, or another store, but it's frustrating that some older non-exclusive items are rare simply because GoFusion isn't being rotated regularly anymore.

(This post has all the old items that aren't currently in GoFusion, but the first page of the thread lists the current items also)

We are moving GoFusion items to Alchemy, and the items related to GoFusion will continue being available.

Events

Someone posted a rumor in Chatterbox about a site-wide upcoming event: the closing of the site in 2018. I'm still fairly new here on Gaia but I have already read about the site closing in Chatterbox at least one other time, probably twice, which makes this last one the third time I have heard this rumor in the past six months. Is this rumor a recurrent jest or has there actually been talk about closing the site at some time in the future? Please excuse my ignorance if this topic has already been discussed within the past six months.

We're still developing new games and events for Gaia. We're not closing the site as long as you guys are here!

Features/Forums

After what happened with the reference list thread in the guides and resources forum, can we PLEASE start thinking about the idea of shared ownership threads. a huge item guide that has been on gaia for 2 years is now deleted out of existance because the op wanted to be selfish when they quit gaia. i think that a feature like this is especially important for threads in the charity and guide forums, and those type of threads usually have mini mods assigned to them anyways because its sometimes too much for one person keep track of by themselves. with shared ownership threads, at least if one owner of the thread decides to randomly or suddenly leave gaia forever, the other owner can still continue the thread onward with editing posts and updating content and prizes.

We can certainly work on a shared ownership feature for forum threads. I should be able to work on it next month.

Items

Is a generator parcel the only way to allow personal user-created items to be re-released? A lot of my items are in low supply and I would rather more users have access to them.
I would like to allow Gaia to release any of my items at will in RIGs or otherwise.

At this time Generator Parcel is the only way to request your own specific user-designed items to be re-released, however, user-designed items that are eligible to be re-released can appear in future bundles & chance items.

Hello everyone! Happy halloween! Please send us photos if you're dressed up! biggrin

I spent yesterday fixing the old, old Gaia On The Go app since it was removed from the app store and the new one isn't ready yet. My little side task turned out to be 20 hours long, now I can't stay awake. sweatdrop

We're still trying to get the second phase of Halloween event ready. Hope to release it soon!

Merch Tickets
Hope you're having a great Halloween! How's sending out emails about the merch tickets going? Is there a date when we should be expecting to have received an email by?
Oh, and one of my tickets still hasn't been soulbound, should I be concerned?
sorryforallthequestionswhoops

It's going! Should be done early this week and shipping begins. No need to be concerned, we soulbound the tickets as a step in the process of resolving it.
Shipping? o-O I thought for the tickets that people chose not to redeem, we'd be getting Genkimix Credit?

That will be happening as well! Sorry for the confusion.

The layering on one of my custom items doesn't work that well. Should I post in the item glitch thread or email the custom team to ask if it could possibly be fixed?

Please email! We'll try to do what we can to fix it~

During a previous live event, the mini-shop included something called a Pop Square Raffle ticket for 0gc. I was curious and bought some, but cannot find any information about it. Can you shed some light on this?

It was a raffle that was happening during the last live stream! A winner was chosen at the end.

May we have an updated inventory arranger, please? PLEASE GOD HELP US.

Thanks.


The part of the mobile app I am working on now is for inventory. We will also use it on the site.

There are still item glitches that have not been fixed since 2011. Is it difficult to fix these item glitches? If so, why? Just curious about how it works.


We have quite a backlog of fixes as there were so many that had been released. Gaia has about 150,000 items, which can create quite a backlog. Different artist also have different amount of free time to fix their items. There are also priority for more popular items. Sorry for all the glitches out there. sweatdrop

can you tell us why items get released but not put as available?

A few of these are
[Animal] Dee and Es Extreme
[Animal] Ghost Noctus Fur
[Animal] Ghostly Aerling Fur
[Animal] Ghostly Ursadew Fur
[Animal] Ghost Leafkit Fur


Usually items are marked as available as soon as the first user put it in the marketplace. Though there might have been bugs that cause items to be not marked as available. I don't think they're related to animal item types though.

Hi there,

Please file a ticket in our Help Center. Someone there should be able to look into the situation for you.

On the special mini-shop on the livestream page, there's no way to actually preview the items, it just brings up the icon and the description. It does't give the item names either, so you can't even look them up to view them. Can we get a fix for this before the next livestream? I took a screenshot to show the lack of information.

Hi there,

This is already in our plans ninja

We are still testing out the functionality of the video streaming capabilities at this point, but soon we will be able to expand on functionalities such as item previews! whee

Can there be a formal announcement explaining exactly how XP, and MP works for the currently running event? I notice a lot of people are confused as to how the event works.


Okay I'll ask the team to add more info to the event forum

Are you planning to re-format the current Astra items from Flash to HTML5,
and release new awesome Astra items in HTML5 format in the future?
It would be awesome if this happened, I'm sure the Astra items would be popular again.
We are looking into it. It isn't a straightforward conversion.

Will there be any content updates to ZOMG? It's been the same area's for a long while now and I was wondering if it was even a possibility.


New areas are not likely, but we will be setting up events or servers where different monsters with higher difficulties will grant more items and shadow orbs

Are there any plans to update the Avatar Builder, to make things run smoother and just generally make it easier to use?

I would love it if we could save "dream avatars", look at other creations under a tagging system, etc.
The feature currently feels bulky, and I have had countless loading issues, items not showing up when I search for them, as well as occasional crashes.


Yes there will be bug fixes and updates for avatar builder. If anything specific is not working, please let me know so I know exactly what to address when working on the avatar builder.

Gaia Box tickets/Acheivement.

Can someone please confirm what the achievement was supposed to be for redeeming a gaia box ticket or an artist alley ticket (as Im pretty sure? that both got an achievement)

I redeemed one of each early this year/last year and haven't seen any new achievement granted, but dont know what its called to check if I have it and just missed it.


Those achievements are actually granted manually, and we will be addressing them later this week. Sorry for the wait!

Don't know if this has already been asked and answered, but why is Avatar Talk blocked? Everyone should be able to access it, but it has the error message

"Session Error

This forum is reserved for the other team."

I'll fix this problem right after ATS! Looks like we broke it with the latest event code sweatdrop

Anymore updates on getting the old throwback achievement and the merch boxes achievement granted?


Zero was away on vacation but now that he's back he'll work on the merch boxes plus the throwback achievement. Thank you for your patience.
