Dear Users,
Thanks for all your help testing GAIA Towns and for your patience as we get ready for the official release!
Our estimated time and date for release is Wednesday, October 26th at 4:00pm PST.In the interests of fairness for all users, all of the previous Town data for house placement has been wiped and we are starting fresh. Don't worry about your bug or trash catches, those are still ok. icon_sweatdrop.gif
There have been a couple of minor changes to the moving in process, so please read the following steps in order to get started again:
1) Go to the
Aekea Housing Commission and make sure you've chosen a house style.
2) While you are there, get a
Barton Town Permit. This will allow you to place your home in GAIA Towns.
3) Launch GAIA Towns from the Trainstation in Barton Town and go look for a place to set up your home! (For optimal performance, we recommend you upgrade Flash to the latest version)
For more detailed information on GAIA Towns and setting up your home, view the
GAIA Towns Instructions.
IMPORTANTAs we expect a large influx of users when GAIA Towns reopens, we have implemented a "reservation" system so that you can guarantee a spot with you and your friends.
Reserve is for all of you out there who want to live in the same neighborhood with your friends, but don't care exactly where. A
Reservation is limited to one per user, and lasts
24 hours. This time period can be extended once, for the same fee. During the
Reservation period, users who are on your friendslist who have not yet placed their house in Towns will see a
Reserved sign for any open plots in the neighborhood that was
reserved. Other users will not see anything, and will not be allowed to move into your
reserved neighborhood. Once the
Reservation period expires, the plots will then open up to any user who wants them, so make sure you coordinate with your friends before you get the
Reservation so that they can all pick their plots before it expires.
Reserve is limited to you, and any users on your friendslist. Because there are only 6 plots per neighborhood, you can
reserve space for up to 5 people from your friendslist.
Relocate is for any user who wants to move their home after it has already been placed in Towns. This can be re-used, but it'll cost you. icon_xd.gif Just click on the
Relocate button in the housing commission, and your home will be removed from Towns. Any users who are on the map where your house was at the time of
Relocation will see your house there until they leave and come back to that map. Once you have completed the
Relocation you are free to place your home elsewhere in Towns.
House plots are first come, first serve. To avoid frustration, please plan ahead with your friends to get a spot together. The
reservation system will become active when GAIA Towns launches tomorrow.
Thanks again for your patience and enjoy! icon_3nodding.gif
