Probably about two weeks ago, maybe more, I noticed during one of my trades that the second inventory we all have doesn't stack properly anymore. So my question is: would that be able to be fixed in the near future so that stacking is now back?


We will look into the issue and have it fixed ASAP.

Will zOMG! Be Available On Mobile Devices?


Unfortunately no. The amount of engineering required for zOMG client is too big of a project to bring to mobile devices.

why are there ads on the log out page even if you pay to get rid of ads? like you cant be getting any revenue from ads on the log out page
can you please fix this issue? thanks in advance


Blocking ads requires the system to check your account to verify if you should be shown ads or not. Once you log out, there is no way to check that therefore you see ads as if you had not paid not to see them. Once you log back in again they will again disappear.

is there a way to fix that "same form twice" nonsense? it's annoying and it's gotten worse recently.


Yes, though with limited resource, we cannot implement this for every single feature on Gaia. Which feature are you referring to?

why are there so many more CAPTCHAs?


There had been no changes to CAPTCHA requirement for a year. However, ReCaptcha does have its own algorithms which evaluate the requirement for Captcha to show up also.

any updates on fixing the login issues? still getting the "invalid login" if you're logging in through any path that doesn't have gaiaonline.com/auth in it.


This bug should be fixed by the end of week, sorry for the wait.

When will our beloved Easter event be back on zomg?

Games

Will gaia online ever have a mobile game that can offer lots of plat through a means of farming and grinding? (not counting lake kindred)


zOMG will have its Easter event starting this Friday.

We will have more games in HTML5 that are mobile friendly, though I don't think the two that are in the works are focused on lots of plat through grinding. If the right game come along we will provide more reward from play.

Hello all~! Recently myself and various other users have been having log in issues from the main pages which only allows us entry from the 'uh oh!' page despite having the proper credentials for the accounts. More information is available on this thread but I'm hopeful to see this bug squished.

Thanks so much for your time~! Remember to stay safe in this pandemic!


We're still trying to track down which update caused this issue. We will have this fixed soon, probably by end of week. Sorry for the wait.

Some of the graphs in the marketplace do not correctly display. It cuts of the beginning of the gold/plat amount and is very annoying. Can these be fixed?

Can you add a Play Again button to some of the older rigs that are found in Lake Kindred? "The Old Ice Fishing Hole", "Winter Trunk" and "Festive Pinata" are the ones that don't have it.
Sure thing!

can powerups be added to the easter eggs like in trick or treat pumpkins or the barton tree?


Not sure that halloween pumpkins have a power up. Will have to look into it. It would help if you elaborate why you'd like to have the powerup be added too.

ZOMG RELATED QUESTION: i have quest that are bugged such as gustav's quest and other quests such as in otami ruins will it get fixed?, also question on the integrity ring why was I not given one? just askin cause i was level 10 in 2011 just an honest question smile


Still working on a better quest reset tool. That should help with the stuck quests

The Integrity event was managed manually so I don't have any info on how it worked. Sorry I don't have an answer for this one.

Any way you could bring back certain tickets from the grave ?? Like these for example

Or any of the tickets that have you featured in rigs?? Like the circus one for example
There are currently no plans to bring back these tickets, or other retired ones.

Games // Events ??

Anyway you could release new things for zOMG?? new summons or rings?? The games a classic and with returning players I've seen more activity in the game

Also a rig for summons ninja

Perhaps a Kindred into zOMG crossover?? We've already had Zen in Kindred so why not reverse it ??

Make Sycamorte a boss and bring in cute starter summons??

Events wise I loved the Valentines day event, Took me back to the Gaia story and npc's !! Would bringing back a more story based events that progress Gaia as a whole be possible or maybe in the works??


We do have a small event for zOMG planned, though big changes are unlikely as the zOMG client was written in flash and is too complex to convert to Unity.

We have a lot more plans for the storytelling platform including ability for Gaians to create their own stories also. More details coming soon.

Would it be possible to have a feature in the future for the marketplace, to be able list multiple of the same equip item as one slot? Buyers could choose how many to buy from that listing, and can help some of us when cleaning up our inventories quicker.


We will add this to the to do list.

Just a follow-up to something that started, eh, a year or so ago. Ish. (Time. Who needs it?) A few of us had mentioned wanting to be volunteer recolor artists and it was under discussion. I vaguely recall it ended up being a semi-complicated thing re: laws and compensation (or lack thereof) but don't recall any definitive answer. Any updates on that?

Goodness knows I'd love to donate some kin recolors. emotion_dowant
One day, BoomBat. One day.
Yeah! So when it comes to unpaid positions (internships or other things like that) at a company, there are limitations on what they are allowed to do. Basically we can't accept free work for something that we would be selling. So that means we can't have volunteer recolorists/artists. It's unfortunate for those who wanted to contribute, but these rules are there to prevent employers from taking advantage of their employees/interns/volunteers.

On this, would it be the same if volunteers submitted things for the Golden Catch? Essentially let volunteer users pump gold out of the economy (which doesn't count as a sale?), making Gaians happier and updates more frequent.

Thank you for answering our questions. We adore you guys.
Hmmmmm maybe?? I'll have to look into this further to find out!

Is this Soaring Halo April Fools item a joke / reference to me and my Archangel's Halo? If not, what's the joke? Cause this is the only joke I can find examining this item...

"A twist on the Gaian classics"

For the record, I do find it funny if it's poking fun at me. dramallama


I don't believe that the theme of the item itself was a joke, nor was it created with any one person in mind.

CrosStitch has long been gathering dust due to the discontinuation of user-made item contests. We were told the contests were stopped because of lack of entries. With a vast majority being under stay-at-home restrictions, what better time than to have a contest! Maybe a small contest for a simple accessory could be held? Would something like this be possible?
Hmmmm maybe! We can consider this!

Is there any plan of action to take on the project custom queue? It seems acceptance dates move only a few days every few months, which means the queue will only get exponentially longer.

I know that most project custom tickets haven't been given out for a long time, but it still seems kinda hopeless from a submitter's end.
Yes! We have kind of a rough outline at the moment, but when there is a solid plan I'd be happy to update the community!

Thanks, I know I speak for a lot of people in saying that we understand that there is a wait, artists are only human, but the radio silence on something as expensive as a ticket can be unsettling a lot of the times.

We appreciate everything you guys do User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.
I 10000% understand! We are unhappy about the situation as well; it sucks lol. I don't think there's any way to properly express our appreciation for everyone's patience or apologize enough.

As soon as I have something to share, I'll make sure there's a staff alert with information!

Not sure if I ever asked this, but could we get a feature that auto opens the RIGs that we purchase without clicking them one at a time?
Sadly this isn't possible currently because it puts too much strain on the servers. However, there is a workshop build request for this at the moment and we are looking at what if anything can be done to make this a future possibility!

Features - Search / Dress Up

With the (hopefully coming soon!) tagging project and upgrade, using tags to search through your inventory will most likely remain the easiest way to find items that are needed. However, with the truly massive quantity of items, it's still necessary to use a search for almost every item when making an avatar.
While I have seen a lot of requests for additional inventory boxes, which I would also like, I was wondering if it might be easier or possible to add saved keywords to the Dress Up page, like so?:

(Click for larger)

The Bookmarked Keywords would have an option [-] to remove, while the Recent Searches would have an option to add them to the Bookmarked Keywords section [+].

Thanks for your consideration, and thanks for all you do!


That is a great suggestion. We will keep this in mind when updating the inventory page.

Any plans on making the Jigsaw screen larger? Even with my eyesight, I have trouble with the smaller pieces.
Additionally, would there be a possibility in getting an increase with the rewards? This question applies to all of the flash games.


Jigsaw needs to be redone, but it is a tricky game to do. I might have another picture puzzle game to put in its place while we are redoing the games.

Question Category Features/Items?- GC coupon

A lot of Gaians are out of work right now, but would still like
To support gaia if they can. In this scenario putting down $50 is more than many can bear now.
Would it be possible to have tiered coupons again if the staff want to continue with that price point?
Started from, say, $10?
I'm sure we can set up some tiered coupons! We like to offer a wide variety of options!

why does it take forever to connect to games especially fishing? There have been times where it has taken me 5 hours too connect by refreshing the page a lot of times , but i am able too connect faster in a few times refreshing at a friends house. Is this a connection issue?


This sounds like an odd problem. It's hard to say for certain but it could have been some firewall or safety programs which block the traffic for games such as fishing which uses a different port number than what is used for web browsing. The flash game server shouldn't have issues connecting to some users versus others.

What is going to happen to flash games on Gaia when Flash Player goes away this year? Is fishing, zOMG! and Aquariums done too? I'm sure this was answered before but I missed it.


Whatever can be changed to HTML5 will be. This will mean cloning some games, replacing some games with something else, and unfortunately sunsetting some games.
