Question: Will the Daily Treat grants be fixed anytime soon?

They have been broken entirely since the beginning of last month, & they haven't had an actual video/GC grant for me since sometime last summer or so.

(I already have issues with most GC offers not being available since I'm Canadian.)


We are working with our partners (Socialvibe and Sponsorpay) to fix the Dailly Treat issues. Sorry for the delay, it should be fixed very soon.

Ever since the "updates to the granting system" anything vote related (polls, arenas, etc) have been stuck with 1p grants
some of us would rather not spam bumps to get our currency


We had a few other issues to fix, but should be able to fix voting gold grant later today or tomorrow.

Even though your initial plans to release the additional story branches for the Valentine's Day event didn't work out, it would be so exciting to see Gaia Stories being released as a feature for the site! Will the Easter event have a Gaia Story branch too?


Currently we are finishing the storytelling feature so anyone can help create stories and branches. Soon afterwards we will work on adding more stories. For Easter event we had some other games in mind, but regardless the storytelling feature should have a new release coming soon.

I've had a few people ask and I wasn't sure of the answer myself, so, just wondering: when will the Valentine's kin be leaving the game?

Not that I don't love having them there-- I do, I really do-- it's just that I know some people are still hoping for a lovebug drop and aren't sure how much time they have left to try.
Also, I love the artist(s) who turned Lifegiver into a kin. You're awesome.
I can leave them in until the end of March!

Any chance some of the build requests that are in review can be moved into the voting stage? ninja (or rejected I guess lol)


Probably, I'll ask the team to do so.

Hope you are all staying safe during the coronavirus outbreak, which is going on at the same time as this year's cold and flu season! Being sick really sucks, after all...


Hi there,

I am fine, but my daughter went to the emergency room yesterday because she worked in a place that was exposed (Stanford) and had symptoms. They put her through ALOT including getting tested including that for the Coronavirus and found out she ONLY had walking pneumonia! Sigh, that we are in a time where that is the preferable of the options! crying

So she is home resting and I am avoiding breathing around her smile

Daily Gift

Last week a bunch of people were unable to claim their final gift of the week. Are you guys aware? Are we just skipping this week with no kind of compensation for people?


That doesn't sound right, there might be some configuration issues. I'll look into it right after ATS.

What is the next event you're working on? Summer now? Will the storyline be released again for that event or whenever it's finished?


The next event is going to be the Easter event in April. Codemonkey is gonna be working with me on this one.

No story game for Easter as we're focusing resources on releasing the user contribution aspect of the feature.

Question Category: Features

I couldn't access the OLD OLD OLD OLD Inventory Arranger. There's a pop-up saying that I am not logged in, and it won't accept the fact that I'm actually logged in (something about transmitting failure).

I know the day would come when Flash goes away (I still have frozen Aquarium items I need to get rid of, but anyway-), does that mean the old arranger is officially dead? User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.


I didn't know that the old arranger isn't working. I'll look into it and hopefully it'll be a easy fix. If the current arranger cannot move frozen aquarium items then I should be fixing that too.

I saw a few days ago that they where no longer soulbound, but the rules still state they are. I just wanted to make sure that they are truly no longer soulbound, or if this was a glitch surprised
They are no longer account bound! I will update the rules right now.

Features - granting system

First off, I would like to thank you guys for fixing the Art Arena so that it now grants platinum again when you vote. However, as of right now it only grants 1 platinum when you vote when it use to grant roughly around 150 platinum before. Is this how it is going to be for the conceivable future or are there plans to return it to granting more platinum like it use to.


There is a bug that messed up the gold to platinum conversion for voting. We will be fixing this bug tomorrow. Sorry about that.

Any update on Slots servers? You said you would be checking later last week and I haven't seen anything about it yet


Sorry the server had been acting up. I'm starting to think that we'll have a new version before the server is fixed.

Are you guys aware of the fact that most of us weren't able to claim Monday's daily gift because of the time change? Are we all going to be missing out on the final day reward because of the error out of our control?


Sorry I didn't know it's due to daylight savings. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I'll see about fixing it right after ATS

My game hasn’t been working for months, the game will load but nothing is tappable. Does this sound like a fixable problem or am I out of luck?


There is usually a solution to these types of problem, though to fix it we will need to know details to things such as what computer and which version of web browser you're using, as well as if there are any extensions running. Also, did you try running LK on a different browser?

It'll also help if you can open the console log to see if there are any error messages while the game is loading.

Why didnt the plat work? it seems like plat made things more eh. Are you working on something else for the inflation to fix it?


As inflation is a factor of how much gold is granted over how much gold is removed in the economy. Platinum was made to adjust the rate of which gold is earned versus marketplace prices, though in practice we also need to greatly lower the amount of gold earned across the board, and that had been a tougher action to take.

Features (Site Bugs)

I've been noticing more bugginess with the site that wasn't here a while ago, mostly regarding the arenas where voting and commenting seems to give either zero to one plat grants unlike before. I've also just noticed some stuff like achievement badges getting stuck and unchangeable. Mostly just wanted to bring this to attention in case its been overlooked, but is there any kind of space we can expect to look regarding site and game fixes, or no?

Hope you all are doing good though! Thank you for holding these ATS events, keep up the awesome work. C:


We recently worked on gold granting for voting for better reporting, but messed up gold grant. It will be fixed very soon! whee

Inventory - Alternate Method

Thank you for reading my post today!

I follow ATS fairly regularly, especially about the long term problem that is Inventories. The two most commonly asked for features are a. a bugfix of the shuffling bug, and b. the locate by price/unlisted function.

While there is no easy answer for the shuffling, you've tried several times to fix it and any major fixes could destroy everyone's precious organization, I have a recommendation for the other option.
The major problem of pricing inventories/finding unlisted items in inventories, seems to be how -massive- inventories have gotten. Users with inventories 50k+ are decently common, with how slow it is to sell items. Multiple times you've talked about features for users with tiny inventories, 10-15k max.

Compromise:
Like we have Storage Box, and a Temporary Box, we should have a Market box on the sidebar. This Market box could hold a maximum of 600 items, likely less to not overload the system, and could have a button that says 'sort', sorting items by price, or by if there are any listings for that item currently. Users would have to put items into organize in the box, but would take away the problem of inventories being massive and slowing/clogging the system with requests. Don't sort the whole inventory, just a little of it.

Reasoning:
While people are curious about their whole inventory worth, that's not why everyone asks for the feature. What the vast majority of people want is simply to tell 'What can I sell for the most profit -right now-?' or 'What isn't listed so I can make a profit from it?'. It's about usage of the marketplace and obtaining more items. Just a small box that sorts for the user when the user adds items to it would solve the problem, without you having to make the whole system handle a billion requests for inventories of truly massive size. This would make it obtainable and make many users happy, as well as improve the marketplace.

Thank you for your time with this. I think this would be easier than tackling the whole system at once. As faster return with less work and less danger of instability.


I have a new idea on how we can re-order and rid of the re-order issue. Please hang tight and we'll update the system ASAP. sweatdrop

Even though, I unfriended this person they are still a blue dot on zomg. When I go to main site, they are not on my friends list and I put them on my ignore list. When I see them on zomg, they are removed from my ignore list on gaia.

I simply can not ignore this person. Zomg keeps taking them off


Sorry I have not got a chance to fix the friends bug in zOMG yet, I'll be working on it soon.

Bidding Feature:
Would it be possible to add commas when you go to confirm bid amount? This feature is implemented when you go to list items on the marketplace but I feel like it is much more essential for bidding since you can get in bidding wars trying to be fast and then mistype. Easy way to lose a lot of gold/platinum for no reason.


Is this relating to workshop? I marketplace does have commas, right?
