Any idea when the animated versions of the usermade flair items will be re-released for us to purchase?


We will make the announcement as soon as they are available.

Shops/Trades

Is there a way for the Store Log (both the items we have listed/sold and the ones that we have bought) to have more options for searching through it? Right now, it's super tedious to try to find an item among hundreds only looking through 20 items at a time, with no way to go back a page, and relying on CTRL + F.

Having its own search bar would be great, but even being able to display, say 50 or 100 items at a time and with page numbers (like in the MP listings) would be great.

Also, maybe searching through our trade history, too? I'd like to see and look at my past trades and what I traded for what.


A more comprehensive store log is in our to-do list. Will have better page control and filter options.

On behalf of all European members, is anything being done to fix the bug with the privacy notice? It keeps popping up and often won't go away unless you refresh the page multiple times. Also, clicking on the "I Accept" button rarely works and, even when it does, the notification is likely to pop up again a few minutes later.

I understand why we have to have this feature. But being constantly pestered with it is really annoying and is making it difficult for Europeans to use the site.


Sorry the consent is supposed to go away after once. It is a bug that we will fix. This was done in compliance to the GDPR requirements for all European users.

Hello everyone! Hope to see some of you at SDCC this weekend.

Any chance you could re-release Golden Fragments and rare fish in CIs or something so they're not overly inflated?


Can't promise about golden fragments as we still have a backlog to catch up on. Though we can look into rare fish in CI's.

Games ...I guess?

What is your intent for the rarity of the Philosopher's Cache: zOMG?

When this item was first created, it was a replacement source of zOMG! loot because the MMO itself had been taken down. Since Alchemy formulas that call for zOMG! loot typically call for hundreds of it, the zOMG Cache was made the most common Cache. When zOMG! was brought back on, the zOMG Cache was made the rarest Cache to encourage people to play the game instead. But what happens in 2020 when the major browsers cease to support Flash? Will the zOMG Cache drop rate be increased again, or will it remain the rarest to encourage people to find ways to get around the Flash boycott?


It shouldn't be hard to introduce additional ways to earn Philosopher's Cache. And as far as flash goes, we'll be looking to see if we can put zOMG into its own Adobe Air app so we don't need a browser to run it.

If zOMG! becomes its own separate app, will it still connect to our Gaia Online accounts so we can use gathered Loot items for things like Alchemy?


Definitely. We wouldn't be able to load your character if your gaia account isn't linked to the game, and we need that for all the inventory system also.

Changes to AMC/Other Forums Rules and Guildlines Question

Hi, Gaia Staff! This question is directed at Jak Bauer specifically, but I just wanted to ask how the new forum rules and guildeline changes for the Anime/Manga/Comics forum and other rules and guildlines changes for the other forums are coming along? It has been a little over a year and a half since I have heard that these rule changes were planned updates for the Gaia forums.

Just wondering if there are any updates on when these updatrs were going to happen... sweatdrop

Thank you! surprised


Hi there,

Good news! We are going through the final proofs on the A/M/C changes and should have it released soon!

Will the Go Gaia app be supporting private messages anytime soon? I know there was an announcement about chats made recently. I'm simply wanting to clarify if they are different and/or if I can send and recieve private messages in the app. Please and thank you. smile


The new chat feature for Go Gaia app will work more like popular chat features like Google Hangout or WeChat. Unfortunately it's not backwards compatible with the current private messaging system but it should be more responsive and easier to use. We will find ways to add the new system to giaaonline instead.

Misc.

After the debacle re: Warning Signs and nipples here, I wanted to see if the staff could make some sort of announcement or sticky or staff notice or something about the stance on nude avatars on Gaia? Maybe fix the TOS to match. (That was one of the big complaints. TOS seems to imply nudity isn't allowed, but we have a sticky that says it is.)

There is this post (don't post sexually explicit content), which says "There is a difference between using items to create an avatar that is racy or provocative and creating an avatar that is obviously sexually explicit, such as depicting a sexual act."

It's useful! (I think it's pretty clear, anyway.) But, it's gotten buried. It's from a few years ago. It's not necessarily avatar-specific, though they are mentioned. And we don't really have a clear method to report sexually explicit avatars. Contact a mod? Fill out a report form? (Which one?) Should we even bother-- i.e., do mods have any set guidelines to determine which are explicit and which are artistic or is it personal opinion? Things like that.

I feel horrible that Yuroppa got the brunt of everyone's tempers over the issue. That wasn't fair or deserved. Just... maybe having a clear, easy-to-find, recent statement solely on avatars and nudity would come in handy.


Sorry I had not been up to date on this issue. I will discuss it with the teams and determine what should be done about it.

Can we get a search bar in the temp and locker storages?


I'll add this to the to-do list.

Features/Games- Golden Catch

Is there any chance at all that Golden Catch could be updated more often, or even at all? IIRC, it's been nearly a full year since Golden Catch was last updated, and while I really like the idea and mechanics of it, there's no point in playing it anymore since the prizes have been the same for so long. I, and many other Gaians, would be thrilled to see Golden Catch get the same kind of attention that Lucky Catch gets in updates.


Sorry resources are tight right now. We will update Golden Catch once we have more resources freed up.

I know at one point the inventory 2 system was being worked on and allowed for sorting of items in different boxes as well as the mass deleting of items.
I am doing my best to clean up my inventory, but all of the daily chance/garbage items are making it a bit difficult. For the time being I'm just shoving them in my locker. Are there any plans on working on that system again? I know there are several other matters to attend to currently.


Sorry there had been a number of larger projects at work, but I will try adding in the additional features such as mass delete of box items.

Can we expand the temp storage from 600 to a higher number? Maybe 1000? Maybe higher?


I can check the UI, if no changes are needed then we can up the limit as soon as next week.

any idea why my WL looks like this instead of the classic list?
it's been like this for weeks and it makes it hard to delete anything off of it.

I just checked your account settings and nothing should cause this on the server side. I suggest trying to disable your existing extensions first, or open the developers console and see if there are any errors in the console log.

Gaia Rewards: current Rewards timing oddities
Was just going over the latest additions to the Rewards program, and noticed:
tab A) the newest batch are only scheduled for 1 week, last week items were added with 2 week availability which means that 10 items are now scheduled to leave Rewards on the 24th, is that intended or an error in the announcement?
tab B) when double checking the older announcement it states Campfire in the Woods should be available through the Rewards program, it has not been there.


It's intentional, be on the lookout for more things in the future!

Campfire in the Woods should be there! I can double check on it in the backend.

Herro Ladies and Gents .

The other . I mentioned that quite a few NPC's were Ghosting .

Well thanks to lanzer . Klaus Clockenmeyer and Barnacle Jim are fully Visible biggrin . Well done !

But there are still issues . Rocko in Bass Ken Lake is still ghosting as is the Von Helson Twins in Dead Man's Pass .

Mc Taggart in Village Greens . Gustav in Bass Ken and Ceejay and Benny on Gold Beach . All four have reverted to an odd base form Generic avatar , of which all look the same rofl . So were almost there !

But if I have to be truthful Gustav looks pretty Buff in his underwear holding that Hooj Axe XD .

Also !

I paid a visit to the Otami Ruins myself yesterday and yes it appears both Rin and Lin are inactive and not completing quest chain . Could that be fixed ? I know others have actually mentioned this before .


I only had time to run a quick script to update all the NPC's, though some of them have customized images and those I can't restore that easily. Will try to fix them one by one when I get the chance. sweatdrop

What's an easier way to search for specific avatar items, that you don't know the name of, but know what it looks like?


Perhaps search by tag at the marketplace? There are also a lot of very knowledgable Gaians at avatar talk forum.

I had asked about this last week and got a reply but things are still broken.
The equipped list is still showing "No items found" for a majority of users I try to view and others are still complaining about this bug as well.
Can we see a fix sometime soon?


Sorry, please let me know which specific users this doesn't work for, I will fix it as soon as I can reproduce the problem. Thanks.
