Features

So while digging around for something, I found this old thread about various features. While it does look like Gaia implemented a couple of them, one that never happened was the Art/Writing/Whatever Directory. This is definately something that I still have an interest in seeing. It would be great to just look at a page of shops and instantly get an idea of the artist's style.

Anyways, could it be possible to see this old project be brought back to the table?

This is something we could look into doing!

Games - Lake Kindred

Users have been asking for over a year now for some LK RIG rotation. Usually at least four different users ask about it every AtS and get no response. The previous staff once mentioned the possibility, and it would be great if that could be seen through to help keep the game interesting and to prove to players that the game hasn't been forgotten/abandoned. Autumn Trunks and Autumn Fishing Holes are big on peoples' lists. Spooky RIGs added to the labs would also be cool as well as new RIGs added to Milky Way, etc. Please show LK and the LK community some love!

We'll keep it in mind!

Events

Would you please consider making the Halloween 2004 forums visible again? I don't see any reason why they should be hidden. Other old event forums are visible.

We can definitely do this, we'll just need to find it.

*Slightly whiny* Will we be getting Pop Square Live access for ALL Gaians, not just those who've bought GC this year, by X-mas or at least New Years? You promised you'd roll it out eventually and there's no time like the present!

We will get there eventually but there is no timeline for that presently
We are still in beta X_X

Items

Is there any plan to change up the items received from Bonus Bags that are obtained from buying GCash? They've been the same for quite a while now.

We updated them a couple weeks back!

Hello everyone! The secure server rollout is almost ready. We'll be SCAS testing either tonight or tomorrow. 3nodding

Special Items

Are daily stamps still soul bound? Because the lock has disappeared from all items but those are the only ones that don't have the little 'this item is soulbound' blurb, so people might think they could trade the unopened stamps only for it to not be true.


We're actually allowing soul bound items to be trashed or sold back to store, per Gaians requests. Please let me know if you come across any problems.

Soul bound items still cannot be traded to another Gaian.

Will there be two new Black Friday kins like there were in the last two years this year ?


I'm afraid we don't have kins for sale this year. I don't recall the art team talking about one.

What sales are you having for Black Friday?
Gaia Cash? bundles?


Py: Tons of new items, and rare items flashing in the store this year!

I'm just curious, is there a reason why only one of my mules has to use the captcha? I do three accounts everyday on Chrome, but only the second one (and interestingly the only one to use plat) has me use the captcha. Are plat users more likely to get the captcha to prevent abuse?


Captcha is triggered by a lack of activity, especially activity in the forums, so that might have something to do with it.

Any news on the mobile app?


Sorry for the delay. Still working on it. Mobile inventory goes into testing today.

Pop Live

Can this be viewed on mobile? Because I have bandwith issues which means I can't watch any streaming items at all on my computer until after midnight.


It's possible, but very difficult—It's not optimized for mobile yet, so if you worry about your data or of if you have an older phone, it might not be the right fit just yet.

Hi there,

Unfortunately no, not at this time. It crashes mobile browsers currently.

Updated tags for older items? Yes/no?


Whoops we jumped on developing for the Christmas event, I'll check with the team and see if we can finish that feature first.

Items/Real-Life Items?:

I'm not sure if anyone has recently asked or it has been answered so forgive me (someone feel free to direct me). Has Gaia ever considered having more real-life merchandise or a shop like they did in the old days? Thanks!


I would check out Genkimix for an answer wink

Features/ Customer Service Tickets

As of right now, what should we expect as turn around time for customer service tickets?

I have waited a month now with no response. A friend of mine sent the same question and got a response within a week and I am sitting at a month and 4 months without my trading pass. I honestly feel disheartened and feel like leaving the site..
I also pmed a mod because I didn't know where to turn... Got no response (maybe it wasn't their responsibility)
I'm sorry if I sound rude.. I'm just frustrated at this point.

Unfortunately are tickets are pretty backlogged at the moment as our team is small and we're trying to work on some other areas of support to help improve user experience (such as bringing on more moderators and Forum Assistants). Right now I can't give you a definitive ETA on turn around time, but if you feel your ticket has been waiting an extra long time please feel free to reach out to a mod (as you have) and they'll be able to get an answer.

Rest assured that if a ticket is in your ticket history and hasn't been replied to yet, we'll be getting back to you. I can certainly understand the frustration and I apologize for the long wait time, we're reviewing our system and procedure to see how else we might be able to expedite this process for you and others in a similar situation.

I understand trying to keep it a bit secret, but... can we please even get a hint of the Black Friday Sale schedule? If anything, just knowing general things (like at this time, we'll see a ticket, a bundle, and an LQI, then at another we see a couple of LQRs, etc.) could at least start to give us some time to plan. With Thanksgiving approaching and we're making all of plans, it'd be nice to get even a small idea of what we can expect for the sale so we can add that to our plans as well!

[Note: this answer was different at first. Lanzer edited it later. -Platonix]
We'll be posting a full schedule on Thursday morning! Turns out the graphics are not quite ready so we pushed it out till Thursday morning instead of Wednesday.

Is there a Golden Catch update in the works very soon? I think it's been nearly two months since our last update, so it'd be awesome if there was an update soon!


I know there's one in the works but I can't give an ETA quite yet,
Golden Catch falls into the "gold shop" category, so it gets a rotation slot between regular gold shops and loyals—and when the items are ready, we'll push it live!
*(not to be confused with the Lucky Catch production schedule)

Have you guys ever considered making digital stickers out of Gaia/Geemoji content? For Facebook or Snapchat or whatever.


That's true, we have a ton of graphics for stickers. It'd be great to have some digital sticker set!


Lanzer
Eternally Gone
Items - MP

Would you guys ever consider giving users the ability to buy multiple items at once on the MP?

For example, I'm currently collecting the Beyond set - while I'm grateful there are multiple listings, it's a pain the butt to buy them one at a time.

Would this even been possible at all, even in the future?


Yeah we have plans for shopping cart for both the regular shop and MP. Hopefully we'll get to these features in the near future.

Would Gaia consider updating the rules for artists on accepting and advertising RLC Commissions on Gaia?

This could encourage a lot more artist to come to the site, (and spend that money they get on the site!) especially if Gaia plans on adding image hosting to the site in the coming years!

Unfortunately I don't see us reversing our stance on this anytime soon. The reason being that we ultimately have no way to verify any of the transaction and we're not going to be equipped to. If the commissioner or artist has an issue with payment, delivery, etc then Gaia has no way of actually ensuring anything took place. That's one of the main reasons why we don't allow Gaians to make these deals on site.

Features

Could Gaia add more meaning to the tip system in forums/guilds by giving gaians the option to include a reaction or tiny message with their tips?

People tip posts for various reasons beyond just saying I like/agree with your post. I have a tendency to tip to tell people I read their post and I intend on replying later or to say thank you or I got you. It would be nice if tips came with either a special emote or a pre-written message that could communicate something to the recipient with minimum effort which would be immensely helpful for mobile users like myself who have a hard time making quick forum responses.


I see, I'll see what I can do to make a tipping history page.

Games - zOMG

Vampires and werewolves are still wandering around, even though the event has been over for week. Could you please look into fixing that again? It's making it difficult to get anything done.


Whoops, I thought I fixed the bug last week. Which maps still have them?

Is it possible to increase the amount you can check in your past history? 10 isn't enough.


I'll increase the size as soon as I get a chance to. 3nodding
