Can we get a search facility for House items which will then show what items are in use in our homes? For example if you got to your inventory and search for Aquarium you will see the items that are in use as they have the 'padlock' (frozen) icon on them, but you can't seem to do that for the House items. I'm sure it used to freeze the items so you couldn't accidentally sell house items that were in use. Thanks

We will check on the data for house items, if it's similar to aquarium items we should be able to add the lock icon for house items easily.

features? (favorites)
so i have 3 different collections in my favorites. i have no problem deleting a favorite if it is of an avi that's not mine. however, if i try to delete an avi of mine, it says that it's been deleted and to refresh the page, but then the avi is still there. is this something that could be looked into???

Are you guys going to fix the glitch involving the zOMG orbs? I had been on hiatus a while and thought they were just trade-able and did a few. I found out this morning that it is a bug. It needs fixed. I don't want to lose my account over it.
Also,
I've heard rumor of a new LK map. When's that gonna happen?

I'll work on the trading bug later this week. It's been a pain to debug for a while.
Summer event with new LK map and kins will be released in August. Sorry we don't have a solid date yet. sweatdrop

Artists
What is the possibility that you guys would be hiring any new artists at this time? I submitted my portfolio a long time ago and assumed no response meant you weren’t hiring, but wondering if anything has changed since?

No positions are available at this time, perhaps later when more resources are available.

I know I've mentioned this a few times before. but can you please re-release all the NPC companions? they are impossible to get even when you are using alchemy.
also can you release a paw version of them? just the same exact poses, only able to equip to paws.

Let me find out how NPC companions were obtained before. I'll see what we can do.
I'll also change the companion items so that they work with paw base.

Marketing
Have you guys considered sending an email to all existing accounts with some sort of incentive attached? This would be an effective, low cost method to bring back some customers. Sure, perhaps a bunch people won't stay- but the ones that do will likely spend some money.
There is over a million inactive(unbanned) accounts; and it would be really good to dip into that pool and invite people back all at the exact same time. Which would make the site a lot more active while those people visit- which would make it a lot more attractive.
Which would be ESPECIALLY beneficial during the summer event.

Yes! It's been done in the past and there are plans for it in the future as we do get closer to summer event. You read our mind wink
I can't necessarily say that it's cheap, but we do find value in e-mails when we have the time to really focus on them.

Ok... This is kinda silly but.... As you can see, I am a collector of Pink Gaia Items. The Pink Skin Dye for female avatars has a weird line on the face that means its slightly unusable... And its not there on a male avatar. I did report it in the appropriate thread but I'm wondering how likely it would be to get this fixed? I realize its silly.... Its just one pixel width white line that would be soooo easy to fix, is there any chance of this happening or does Gaia usually focus only on newer items?

Neko and myself usually go through the thread every few weeks and fix things in batches. I should have time to go through the recent unresolved posts either this week or next!

Just today I was thinking about how nice it'd be to have a new kickstarter...Gotta say I'm dissappointed to say the least. [referring to the new Gaia Cash Kickstarter "Jump Start". -Platonix] Have you ever even considered to have one as a goldsink? gonk

There will be a gold sink in the future. We want to do both though resources are tight at the moment.

When new users join, they have to have an e-mail account from a very limited amount of popular e-mail providers like Gmail, Hotmail, etc. There are many different e-mail providers, so there are plenty of people who haven't joined, because the registration page doesn't accept their valid e-mail address. Many Gaians have mentioned this earlier, but the restriction is still there. Therefore, could you please remove the restriction and update the registration page to accept any valid e-mail address (with the usual e-mail confirmation link to confirm the e-mail address), so anyone with a valid e-mail account can join Gaia, and that existing users are able to change to any valid e-mail address? More users will be able to join, regardless of their e-mail provider yum_strawberry

I'll look into changing the system from a whitelist to a blacklist system. It was there to prevent the email aliases services from creating fake accounts too easily.

Trades
Can you hide items in the trades inventory section that are soul bound or equipped? They don't have locks on them and we get an error if we put something in on accident (like an aquarium background we have in use) that makes us start the entire trade over.
Also, game items still disappearing in trades: anything being done about it or did you not know it's still going on?

That makes sense. We should hide untrade-able items.

I didn't even realize that the forum wasn't viewable! I think (I hopefully) did it right, it should be moved to Gaia Gaming Discussion once the page caches!

When people ask for 'Heroes Journey' to be completed; they really mean that they want permission to recolor it's poses- which heroes journey is still technically disqualified for.
I understand heroes journey is not a finished item, since the artist is not employed anymore- but can an exception in the rules be added for 'Heroes Journey' so that people can recolor it's current poses? That way people will stop asking for it to be completed all the time.

It's on our to-do list, but this week we have a lot of tasks to complete, including mobile features, bug fixes, and the summer event. It might take a while for us to get to this. Sorry!

Jump Start - If I understand it correctly, those that purchase a rig/bundle with gaia cash will enter the guild and be able to vote for a theme, but not those that receive them as gifts or buy them from the mp?

Correct, the guild automatically (now) adds Gaians who have made that initial purchase for any of the jump starts (single, multi-pack, angel, etc). If the original purchaser/owner decides to sell, trade, gift away their copies—they forfeit any of the items and additional prizes, but keep their membership in the guild (unless they choose to leave).

Jump StartSecondly, on to Jump Start itself. I feel like 3 weeks to get roughly 1.5m Gcash is a little bit insane; even if on the first day the jump is 100k GC, that means we have to put in 15x that amount in less than a month. It seems unfeasible, and looks like it's setting itself up for disaster. In the longrun, users get their funds back if it's not fully funded which is kind of comforting, but I guess it's just the idea that if this is how the monthly core CIs are going to go, why not remove the system overall and focus on other projects instead? Maybe instead of CIs, working on Project Recolor or Custom with the time/work that is normally put into the CIs?
These are just suggestions and points I'd like to express, as this is an obviously new system both parties have to get an understanding for!

This is actually a really low number/goal that we decided to move forward with it. This number is lower than what is usually garnered from the monthly CI, so we felt like it would be easily achievable especially within the 3-week time span. Advance Chance (if left in the store for a week), would make over half of this desired base goal we have set up for the kickstarter.

Is there a way we could get an easier way to unpack stacked packs? Like either have an "unpack everything button" or something like the "play again" button that RIGs have so that we don't have to wait for the page to re-load?

We can look into an option for opening more than one pack at once. Maybe a faster play again button.

We have swift caches that open multiple caches to the ingredients. Can we get a type of cache that opens to multiple caches? Ie, emerald, zomg, ruby, gold caches.
Trying to craft the zomg wings is taking forever, opening thousands of caches to try to get the lowest dropped cache. A direct way to open 20, 50, 100 caches at a time to the colored bag caches would be a godsend!

What's the plan for Fishing? It has the monthly trophies, but I haven't really seen any plans for converting it from flash save a vague "we'd definitely like to". Given that we're already over halfway through the year, I'm getting worried that it might not be converted over "in time". This means not only do we lose the generation of a lot of game items that are consistently used, but the trophies can't be earned either.

Sorry the conversion it taking longer than expected due to a lack of resources. We do wish to convert fishing to HTML5 as soon as we can.
