At the most recent Ask the Admin (which was two weeks ago), a question arose about little Timmy and his....changes.

LabTechMK
4) The observation was made by a fellow Gaian that Timmy's skin resembles that of the H2K4 Zombie skin. Will that skin at some point be rereleased, or is there something else in store for us you will not yet speak of?


The almighty Gaia god, Lanzer, replied with:
Lanzer
4) The plan originally was to allow easy access to the new skin. We'll be working on it. :O


Will the plan slip, or will it be carried out soon? Would you like to be ridden from your fleshy gaia skin and be this?:

If Timmy's the bearer of such costumes, I can almost gurantee that it'll be a Cash Shop item.

As an 03er, I can't help but be a little disgusted at Gaia's stripping down of morals.

I think Toastbusters is right.
Timmy's character is too linked with the cash shops for it not to be an item in the store. I think it will be something like the skeleton skin.

Thank you Voilcris Ego. I didn't know Lanzer had made such a comment regarding Timmy's transformation. sweatdrop

It makes me mad.

Skins that resemble old skins should not be available all the time.

It's crap.

Chances are if that is the case, they will jack up the prices more than ever to keep interest at a low, but at the same time, force those that really want it to pay up. And then they're probably going to rotate it out for another 3-4 years when the 03er and 04er riots come. xd

Easy access? If it were a cash shop item, that would be impossible for me to get! Then again he said that it was the 'original plan'.

Besides, it's devaluing the H2K3 skin and turning it from a legend to an accessory. If that happens Gaia would lose half of what it is, and that's disgust worthy.

stare This is total bull. I know newer users want these skins but it's like they're trashing gaia's history to start giving it all away...or worse. Like you said, we'll probably have to buy it. Lanzer needs a good kick in the a** from the old users. I'm so sick of this.

I think since they forcefully took the skins from the original zombies I think it should be reintroduced to allow them to get it back.
But in an event or something.
And definitly not an item or something you buy.

A couple of days ago I made a thread in the SF complaining about the fact that you can still get the vampire skin, and ended up talking about the chances of the admins making an item which can grant you skins similar to those of the events. Surprisingly, when I made a poll about it, only 53% wanted one. I don't think these "skin-changing items" will be as popular as Lanzer seems to believe.

I'm not sure how can they pull this off... but I'm pretty sure I'll get mad as hell.

I find it interesting that Juno ******** bitches about how hard it is to do even simple changes and yet they come up with this complicated crap that get's turned out in a matter of days or sometimes hours which no one enjoys. If she hates it that much then she can pass the torch. They have no right to scold us for getting upset when they b***h about their jobs.

Or give the Zombies from 03 or 04 the ability, somehow, to switch forms at will. No items, like you said.

She said something like that? I was only aware of her explanation of why vampire eyes don't show in the Superior Form. Which... has nothing to do with Timmy.

Besides, NPCs avatars are easier to make - they simply paste a .png over the real avatar.

I remember things floating around from before that when people asked if she could take some of the old items and just update them for skin colors or fix errors. She went on to say that it was too hard to work with those items and something to the effect that people needed to stop whining about items or she might just stop all together. It came out in bits here and there but I do know she said those things.

I was so pissed at that childish act. just use the list of 100 thousand+ items we've been suggesting on that damn thread for years. I'd say maybe 25% of that thread has even been created. It's like they've gotten lazy or something...or their priorities are in the wrong places. No one wants these huge bugged updates to the system. We just want the old style with little changes here and there and normal item updates. Where is the forum love?! That's the lifeblood of the site >|
my temper is crawling out of it's cave.

Ahh.

If there's something I'm pissed at, is the current layering system. Is it just me, or all the new items have terrible flaws? I can't even use a hair style I like with any clothes I choose because the stupid hair cuts the clothes in half. Argh.
