When you click on an item in your inventory it gives you the marketplace price.
Well, some time ago, you said you would do the same for the bundles.
What happened to getting that done? It would be so helpful.

Are there any plans to add a "sort by market price" feature to inventories? The inventory system is old and makes sorting larger inventories very time consuming and difficult.

Inventory sort by price was a beta feature that didn't make it because of some bugs. Will look into re-implementing it later.

No nagging this time, just wanted to confirm I got the credit (finally) and want to say thank you for finishing this off, however in the future if you EVER have to do anything like this again don't make people wait a year and a half -.-

I have no interest in ever doing any kind of merchandise shipped straight from our HQ without an actual distributor again. @_@
Merch design and creation is definitely something I want us to continue to do! Just the logistics and distribution I wouldn't have done by our team.

The marriage system is broken. It's showing me as married to someone I don't know and others are just outright getting divorced. Could you please fix this? I thought I got hacked / my friend got hacked. The bug/glitch forum is jam packed with the same threads asking about it and it hasn't been addressed by staff.
* update: I am now apparently divorced but I am still married to my friend. ???

Will there be an events added to Towns 2 like there had been in Towns 1 all those years ago?
I really enjoyed the swimming pools and balloon fights, along with all the other seasoned events there!
Added:
I feel like this would be a great way to sorta add influx to flash spaces for those of us who do enjoy them.
Since the IM feature is gone, it's like the only way of getting the IM feel imo.

Any chance on getting an extension on the event of buff for points on the final day? We've never had a week long event, they've always been two, plus it's just a drag getting 20 points per game. That's 300 games or 4500 posts!

In terms of points, I would check out some threads that frequently upgrade goals, go for the bigger goals, take longer routes, and has lots of people playing! I usually range between 500-2000 points per game! A little anarchy never hurt nobody ninja
Longer route, as in, the more directions inputted by multiple people, is for more points!
I guess it would take a little bit of snooping, but I know when some thread owners are online, they upgrade goals. I'm pretty frequently upgrading my own as well when I get the chance :<

Can we get an official word from staff on why Sponsor Items can't be re-released? It's a constant question people ask and there are only user answers, not official staff from any recent years.

Hi there,
Typically Sponsor items are released during a certain period as specified in whatever contract there is with that particular sponsor. While the items sold can remain on the site, the contracts state after the end of the sponsorship period we can no longer sell them.
For a little more clarification, does Gaia need to approach these sponsors or did Gaia get approached by the companies when the items were made? Some users were asking if approaching the companies to ask for re-releasing/selling the past sponsor items can get them out of extinction hell, but I assume its not possible because of legalities.
Hi there,
I wasn't part of the sales team back then, but I believe it was both, we approached and some approached us. I have no idea on asking them about re-releasing tho, sorry.

I know animated items are kind of antiquated at the moment, but I was wondering if you guys had considered fantasy animated items?
Or perhaps a return of evolving items but periodically giving them an animated scene associated with its evolutions?
Such as perhaps an ominous flash of thunder in an otherwise dark room that darkens the avatar but leaves a slight glow around the users eyes, or warring entities in the background clashing repeatedly behind an avatar?

Right now we don't have a good way to replace the flash-based animated items. We need to solve the technical problems first. Cool ideas though.

No specific plans for that feature at the moment, although eventually we want to replace as much flash content with HTML5 as possible.
that don't really help much as recently lanzer said some chat features were being removed now your saying no plans to do anything? it don't make sense
was mentioned here in staff updates
so which is it? the chat features being removed or not?
That was Friend Chat. It was a flash space. Something different entirerly.

Art
Any chance on getting an official list of Gaia colors and color schemes made?
With the sheer number of them out there, the fact that they change at times, and that new ones are constantly being added it's hard to keep track of what is what. I've had a few people mention the extremely unofficial one I keep is nice for those returning from before schemes were a thing so they'd probably love an official one even more.
I'm not sure whether this is art or items but I figure it would end up with the art team.

This is something we've been considering for a while now! But due to the large number of colors and schemes, it would be a big project. It's definitely possible for the future, though!

Speaking of the event, what determines the points you get? Is it the moves you make or the total moves of everyone?
Speaking of the event, what determines the points you get? Is it the moves you make or the total moves of everyone?
Going for the goal that's worth points, upgrading the goal, more directions inputted by unique users or yourself—a total of all those things!
Technically you can hit and run in as many threads as you want, but if the other participants go for the goal that's worth the least amount of points—collectively you'll all end up with... .the least amount of points. Maybe scope out a few threads and see if other players are going for the big goals first 3nodding

Only two cookies on the screen at one time! But option to upgrade is available until it hits the max. I might just be online at peak hours, but I see lots of level 3s and max!
Instructions are pretty straight forward (as the game is just to post a direction), but it doesn't explicitly say which one is worth more points! Some of it is left as a mystery ninja

Tagging items. Right now, the way the suggested tags through the tag suggestions feature get approved is by having moderators approve them to make sure they're appropriate, both in relevancy and in not being really unsavory things. However, mods are in short supply, very busy, and take a long time to train. Would you guys consider training people specifically just to do tagging approval? I imagine it would take far less time to train people just for this and make a lot more people eligible to do it, thus making the work of improving the tags on items go a lot faster.
