Welcome to Gaia! ::

Shops

Just wanted to remind Lanzer that he mentioned wanting to make a multi-squish option for rare bugs. Not that it matters to me anymore since I bit the bullet and squished all 96 Great Monarchs I had for the white ink. -.-

MP/Shops

I know Zero is out today, but is anyone going to put some items in Flynn's tonight?

Games

I've asked this question many times in past Asks, but I've not been able to ask again for a long time because of scheduling conflicts on Tuesday. Is there anyway you could make it possible to trash aquarium items and fish inside the tank from the inventory since I've taken out as many items as I can and can't kill the fishies no matter what I do, or trash the tank itself? I never put this stuff in my tank (and yet some how they got put in) and they've been stuck cluttering my inventory forever just sitting there. I don't benefit from Aquarium because I don't use flash.

Conventions
Are you all doing anything at Fanime this year? I just got back in to Gaia a week ago (used to be a hardcore member not sure if any of you remember me) and one of the things I remember loving the most was the Fanime panel.

Games

I heard that Lanzer might have a little bit of time to work on zOMG! Can he look into fixing up the "Collectible" tab under Character Info? There's currently 42 slots, and there are 45 Rings total, so obviously not eveything shows. sweatdrop

Edit: tfw GU isn't active in the tab. emo

Games: zOMG

Can we have another Ring: Sweetheart in Back Alley Bargains? Please emotion_kirakira

Items

Paw rig with new items soon? Preferably with conversions! emotion_kirakira Please?

Misc

Are there any plans to try to beef up moderation?

I've spoken with moderators and they've admitted that they are short-staffed. I understand moderators are volunteers, but will Gaia try to be more proactive about this in the future?

Features

When will VJs be added back?

Events

Status of a possible Official Gaia Online panel at Anime Expo? o3o;;

When I go to place my home, it says I can't because of the fact its under Maintenance and wont be back online till January 18th

Whats going on with that?

Question
Can we get this fixed? I'm still watching & it says it's giving me GC but nothing materializes! I should be rich in GC by now, if the silly thing gave me what it owes me. I've reported this before but it's still not fixed. Thank you. smile

Misc/Event

Will there be another goldsink event to get the past achievements in the future?

Games

Will the smaller games such a pinball, blackjack, and jigsaw be seeing a reward increase? Plat instead of gold?

While I have your attention, would you mind answering one more question? It's alright if you're too busy or if this doesn't get answered because it's not in the format of the Ask the Staff.

Will Gaia be appending its offsite advertising rules for things like Discord or Twitch, or will linking to those sites (or sites like them) be allowed?

Thank you so much for answering my question and good luck to the new moderator teams!

WARNING TL;DR
Games: Heralds of Chaos

Hi Lanzer and Gaia Staff! I am a Facebook Gamer and a devoted Gaian gamer as well. And I would like to talk about the sudden and unannounced removal of Heralds of Chaos on Facebook last May 19, this year of course. I'm pretty sure that Heralds of Chaos is a web browser flash card game that was made by your great team on Gaia Interactive and it was launched originally for Facebook back in 2012, then was launched simultaneously on Gaia Online's main website. It was a fun game to play and I was playing it until now on Facebook. But then, we were saddened and taken by suprised about how we are not informed or no actual announcement from the staff regarding the removal of the game on Facebook. Sure, there was this announcement back in 2013/14 regarding its removal on Gaia's main site:
https://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/heralds-of-chaos/heralds-of-chaos-has-been-removed-from-gaia-9-17-13/t.87950001/

But, no announcements whatsoever? Even from the main official Facebook page, there's nothing. sad

Here are some of my progress and screenshots of when I was playing the game (some are cropped for privacy issues, but it's still on Facebook)(These are some screenshots I've took during my playthrough just this year.):


This is after the reset and the removal of HoC when it can still be accessed: (This was on May 19)

This is when HoC was taken down entirely:

All our progress (all kinds of cards, mission progress, essence, and some CHAOS CASH [Leaving a little precious chaos cash is kinda a habit. Don't ask!]) were reset/deleted and lost forever. Why the decision to remove it now? Should have it been left forever on Facebook to die or be forgotten or is it entirely the decision of your whole committee/staff to take it down and remove it forever for issues or things that I shouldn't know? Did you contact Facebook whatsoever or is it on Gaia's side entirely? If it was a glitch on the server or something, can it be fixed back to work fine? Can our player data be restored in any way somehow because its going to take awhile if we all just start again? I know you've dropped any form of support or technical assistance on this game but, I just wanted to be clarified on this issue if possible and hope to get some answers. In all this seriousness though, Thank you very much!

Features
oh it's been a long time since I made one of these

Is there any way to update the feature on the friends window "Your friend is currently doing this, join them", although be it put on the list of later stuff to do?

The reason I ask is because ever since Towns2 got updated to the multi servers, I have not been able to tell where any of my friends are. As of such, I haven't talked to some in a very long time. Also I believe it would help zOMG! out. This is because clicking a link to join them in zOMG! will not only show that they are playing but instantly put you on the right server. I know for overflow reasons, this would mean some extra code to send people to a not full server but eh... (is imagining the code and eye twitches). This is why I say put it on the list of stuff to do later.

It's a small way of bringing more activity to Gaia instead of us being left in the void of not even knowing if our friends are doing something to join them.

Items

Can we get a way to activate tags for an item without having to list it in the mp? I'm super paranoid about my verge doll getting bought if I go to list it to activate the tags.

I've thought about doing that but I'm just super paranoid that the one time a verge doll actually sells within seconds would be mine. lol I just want to be able to activate it without having to unequip it

Features

So, Tinier Me had a popular feature before it closed, called 'Alchemy.' It allowed you to take any two items in your inventory and merge them into one different item. I'd LOVE to see this on Gaia, to help get rid of excess worthless items and bring back some rare items into circulation.

On TM, you could put any two items in and get something rare. It was completely random, from what I could tell. Now, because gaia has gold shops, there would have to be a separate prize pool for gold shop items being used. But imagine putting in an old rig item worth 10 plat and a LK egg and getting a completely random item? And sometimes what you get back would be worth less. and that's okay, because you could just fuse it again.

Given that we have "alchemy" and "gofusion" taken for names, how about Trasmutation or Transmogrification?

Would you guys ever consider adding this feature?

Though fair warning, never let me know when you're working on the old Flash games because then I will begbug you to do Cards first...and create a Russell Ace NPC account

Site

I asked several months ago if we could get an icon for runway on the actual Games page, instead of it just in the drop menu.

The answer was yes. is it still happening?
don't know how complicated it is, but many times on my mobile its hard to get the drop menus to work.
(more of a nudge, 'do you remember' than a question)

would love a tip just to know this was seen.

Items

If you click on an item from someone's wishlist, in brings you to a page with a bunch of info on it before you can click through to the MP listing of it. On that page is the date the item was added. It's not easy to get to this page unless you are going through someone's wishlist, so could the creation date be put on the Marketplace listing page for each item?

Misc

Hey staff, I am having an issue with my friends list, the ability to delete anyone is totally gone. I've seen other people with having this issue I even sent in a ticket, but gotten no reply. Can someone look into this or know a solution?

General
Hi Lanzer!! It's me again!

Any update on my question last week regarding the Project Customs queue?

You told me you'd ask around, and to ask you again next week! cat_biggrin heart

Features

Hello staff~

I'm wondering if there's been any progress with the Outfit Slots? I'm talking about being able to drag and drop outfits between pages and just generally be able to move them around without having to delete and re-save them! I know this has been talked about before, so I'm really hoping this is still a thing!!

Anyways, keep up the great work!!

Features/Misc

First off, thank you so much for the Runway favoriting! It seems to mostly be working now, except for in your "Favorites", when you click on the avatar it doesn't show up. Any possibility of fixing this?

Avatar Arenas
While I am certain that, at least, someone has brought up the issue in the past months, I am curious if there is a status update regarding the avatar arenas. While Runway is still up and running, I hope that, in the future, Gaians have another means to express themselves and let their creativity flow. 3nodding

Shopping cart for Gold Shops?

Misc

Does reporting a user for trolling, intimidation, threats, flaming, and bullying, malicious intent, stalking inside a Flash space (including zOMG) can get the person suspected to be doing that bad things be grounds for a temporary ban or a mute? zOMG is getting a lot of complaints in the community that some people are being harsh, mean or bad and some being elitistic to other people within the game although they haven't done anything wrong. Reporting and Ignoring aren't working well against it. What's your point on this?

P.S- Report button in zOMG doesnt work.

WIll guilds be updated?

Games, or maybe features not sure what the towns fall under, anyway CodeMonkey heres a question for you, for towns 3, and maybe u could install this in towns 2 as well, My question is can u please include a AFK mode that it has a 15 minute timer on it, where it kicks people out of the towns servers if they are not active, and in AFK mode for the 15 mins?

this could free up alot of the towns server space since there are so many afk people in towns 1 and 2 all the time and this is just something to think about for towns 3 to hopefully install. and if people want to get back in the serve they just got to reload towns 2, or towns 3.
