Towns 2 and other Flash Spaces Virtual WorldsZero Omega Madorka Good Evening Gaia Staff
A few questions I wanna ask you guy's this week.
2.Can we do something about towns 2 troll's they seem to be getting wroser and some spam which make the server lag horribly.
2. Trolls, yeah, trolls suck. We can take a closer look into what we can do to try and proactively combat trolls even further. We do have some amazing tools that we have for Towns 2 to currently take care of the offenders to keep them from disrupting you! Narumi Misuhara Crescelius Will there be more explorable areas in Towns 2? Maybe having ALL the towns having explorable areas like Gambino Island?
I've always wanted to explore Durem and Aekea, and it'd be nice if we could get weather, and a functioning day/night cycle with working lights, too! We already have more areas ready, we just haven't opened them yet. We also have weather, we just haven't been able to get it to function quite right :/

October 20th, 2014: [NPC] Gaia Staff Hello and welcome! Here are the answers to a few of the questions posted in our pre-event thread! Please don't duplicate the questions listed below as the answers we have given are as complete as we can make them at this time. Quote: The prices of bugs and inks have increased by a ton. Popular ink colors now cost millions or hundreds of millions--for just 1 vial. I'm very concerned with this, and I know that I'm not the only one. Can you remove the cap on bug-collecting in towns? We probably won't remove the cap entirely, but we can increase it so it's not so limiting! Narumi Misuhara Scobre FeaturesCan the mini-games and flash spaces and events of Gaia get a mobile version for the Gaia on the Go App? This sounds like an excellent idea. We'll have to look at how feasible this is. Narumi Misuhara Bczar MiscWhat improvments are you all intending to make to Towns and Towns 2? I've noticed hangouts have been added to Towns 2, but navigation makes them difficult to find, would you all consider making changes to navigation to improve Towns 2 similar to Towns? I know it says one question per post, but as they are related I thought of this as a two-parter question. Yeah navigation does need to be improved. We also want to add some NPCs

October 27th, 2014: bluealaris xx I met my fate xx GamesAre there any more interactive events coming up aside from forum events? Something with the flash spaces perhaps? We do not have any plans for interactive events on Flash Spaces as of now, but considering the vast new additions of map space added it would be a shame not to take advantage of it. We will consider implementing events in Flash spaces in the future and we're open to any ideas or feedback!

November 3rd, 2014: bluealaris Tsuki_Kirkland Features Hi Staff, first I want to say thank you for doing this Is there a date for when Towns 2 will be completed and Towns 1 will be removed? There is no set date for this at the current time- both Towns will remain open for the time being. Narumi Misuhara Ozzy the Dreamer FeaturesI'm a big supporter of the idea of Gaia one day connecting every virtual space together via Towns 2, so the zOMG! maps being added was very exciting news to me. Just wandering around meeting new people is an adventure, and the more areas we have, the more it feels like our own little world. My question is concerning the lag. Is there going to be an announcement about this being improved on soon, or is that on the backburner? I also feel that if we got the lag under control, we'd see more people actually going to the new zOMG! maps in Towns 2. Barton is an awesome area, but every time I visit it it's barren and slightly lags due to the size and animations going on there. Maybe a different 'starting point' than Gambino Isle would help too, as that would give people the choice of where they want to go. Thanks again for ATS and for answering my question :] I agree, this isn't on the back burner. I'll shoot this over to the right person. smile bluealaris Nenanah Items Can you add new trash/flowers/bugs to towns? I don't thnk we have ever had a new trash item update before. We're looking into the requirements for a trash/flower town update!

December 1st, 2014: bluealaris Auriga La Shock ItemsAny chance there is going to be an update for Housing items? More specifically, animated items for our houses? We don't have any huge Housing updates planned for the time being- we have a bug list for Towns to clear through before we do anything huge! Narumi Misuhara Taiyo the Egg itemsIs there any way you can make the floating imp potions actually make us float in towns? I feel like the name lied to me. -_- *shrug* we can ask and find out.

December 8th, 2014: Narumi Misuhara Deus F FeaturesHave you considered making the cell phone (in flash spaces) be able to notify people where you are before one teleports to them? Might cause some awkward situations if they're having a private moment and suddenly you appear. Actually we're looking at how to better improve the whole navigation flow to it.

January 5th, 2015: bluealaris Chibi_Madoka5 EventsAre you planning to have events that more interaction with the towns in the future or you going to have them only in forums? it would be nice if you did have the towns be part of the events. We have Halloween and Christmas additions to Towns 2 in terms of aesthetic changes, but I would love to do more with interactive features this year.

January 19th, 2015: Narumi Misuhara Madorka Features/GamesCan towns 2 get a scroll bar in the chat like towns 1 had so I don't have to keep going up the chatbox and everytime someone talks it restarts over from the button please ;n;. We can submit this request and see if it's feasible. codemonkey37179 Madorka codemonkey37179 Madorka Features/GamesCan towns 2 get a scroll bar in the chat like towns 1 had so I don't have to keep going up the chatbox and everytime someone talks it restarts over from the button please ;n;. Hi! Can you please explain in more detail what you are asking for? Well like in towns 1 they had an thing in the middle of the chat where you clicked on it and it went up and never lost it place. In towns 2 when people talk when I try to scroll up the chat with the up button on the chat log it restarts and it get's annoying. So would a scroll lock solve your problems? codemonkey37179 Madorka Yes it's all I ask for >w< If it can be done thank you Ok, I haven't had time to get any buttons made for this, but for now if you type lockscroll in the chat box, the autoscroll will turn off. You can reverse this by typing unlockscroll . The change will be ready in about 10 minutes. Narumi Misuhara Shoohey FeaturesWorlds Will Gaia open user lobbies for the Rally and VH again considering at timezones for others some channels are active and most of the times its an empty lot. Porting is also an issue between channel switching, sometimes you'd might have to refresh from the port freeze. Sadly no, there are no plans to reopen them.

January 26th, 2015: codemonkey37179 Ozzy the Dreamer FeaturesFor codemonkey or anyone else who knows, I have a question concerning Towns 2. The virtual spaces are by far my favorite part about this site, ever since the original Towns came out. I've been wondering: Would it be possible for Towns 2 to start at the map screen (or the train station like in the first Towns) so we can pick and choose where we want to go? I love the fact that you're adding zOMG areas to the map, but since Gambino Isle is the default place you go when you enter Towns 2, that's usually the most populated area, with places like Barton being a ghost town. I also noticed one difference between Towns and Towns 2 is 2 doesn't have a 'housing map' where we can see where people are hanging out, like the directory in Towns 1. At the very least, just being able to see how many people are in all the areas would be very helpful and inviting to explore areas others are hanging out at. I myself prefer less crowded areas, and usually get along better with people sittin' all by themselves :] Thanks for keeping up with AtS, and I have noticed a decrease in announcements and the marketplace deflating a bit. Credit where credit is due. Thanks emotion_brofist All these ideas are worthy of consideration. The housing map suggestion is something a few of us were mulling over a few weeks ago. Stay tuned. codemonkey37179 Prince World have you ever check out why people likes towns from towns 2 towns give out bugs, flowers , paper in every room while towns 2 its a 1 time deal for all rooms It is possible the system needs to be adjusted for generosity. codemonkey37179 Xashowd Features/ItemsAbout the zOMG Summons...I know straight making them an equipped item is out of the question, but maybe a halfway point is an option. Would it be possible to make the Summon Stone itself an equippable item (Like a necklace or handheld pose with just the stone) that then activates an option in Towns 2 to allow your Summoned buddy to follow you like in zOMG? Something like where in Towns 2 if you have the item equipped it enables a button on the bottom bar the lets you choose whether to activate the Summon or not, like the Kneeling button and others. It'd probably take some time to work on, but I can see it being possible. If it works out well enough, you could even branch the idea out into other items, and possibly future items. It is possible...let me talk to some people. No promises.. meemsalman Nenanah Features Can the amount of gold earned by shaking tress, rocks, and bushes from either towns be increased? Question is originally by ( Nenanah ) Possibly...that is something we can look into. heart

February 9th, 2015: bluealaris Nenanah FeaturesCan the amount of gold earned by shaking tress, rocks, and bushes from either towns be increased? Question is originally by ( Nenanah ) We are looking into increasing gold payouts for our Flash space interactions as well as potential item drops. Narumi Misuhara Fawlen Kawaii ItemsGracie's Soccer Ball (kick) I have been on hiatus for some time and came back to see the towns are new. I went into the old town and tried to play the soccer ball and when I click on it it disappears and reappears in the item bag. There is a red circle in the town also when I click the soccer ball. Can you tell me how I can use all 6,151 balls I have accumulated over the years? Unfortunately you'll have to hold on to your balls. No updates are being made to Towns 1.0.

February 23rd, 2015: Narumi Misuhara Nenanah Events Can we bring back caroling and trick-or-treating to Towns 1 or 2? It was really fun to do and faster than going through the shops to get the event items. Question is originally by ( Nenanah ) It's possible for Towns 2, we would just need to get it implemented. Towns 1 is no longer officially supposed. We could probably turn it on but it would be "as is" with no support.

March 23rd, 2015: [NPC] Gaia Staff Welcome ladies and gents! Quote: Games/Features Would it be possible to have a way to save 2 versions of our current avatar? Backgrounds are something really fun to play with for a few of us, but for others it's just gets in the way when they go in the flash space like towns. Being able to save two different avatars, one for forums and another for games, could be a way to make the best of both worlds This is an interesting suggestion! Unfortunately this isn't something we can consider without over hauling a good portion of our backend construction. codemonkey37179 Nenanah Features/Events I wanted to ask about bringing the cinema flash space back around? I think it'd be a pretty good idea to fund it with a kickstarter! Maybe set it up like the friend's chat spaces where you can rent out a theater with a screen that plays a specific video or two until the rent period is over. Question is originally by wqt I'm not sure, but I think the theater space is the wrong size for Towns 2 now. I'll have a look for it. codemonkey37179 YourDreamSenpai GamesWill whispering/crew/group chat ever be (re)introduced into Towns 2 like zOMG had? No plans for it in Towns 2 at present, but I'll keep it in mind. codemonkey37179 Seiji-ojisan Features: Towns 2I like that we can visit zOMG locations, but I've noticed at least for me, visiting some of these areas does weird things to my avatar's size. For instance, if I go to Zen Gardens. My avatar starts out like this. A bit smaller than it was in the original game, but okay. However, if I move down to the next screen... My avatar is considerably smaller, when there shouldn't be any change at all. If I move down once more... My avatar goes back to the previous size. Things get even weirder when I go into the secret room in the bell. Whoa. I'm minuscule and the screen is all shrunk too. Can this issue be addressed and fixed? =o Whoops, can you pm me this info? In the mean time don't consume an cakes that say "Eat Me"

April 6th, 2015: Narumi Misuhara K i n g X u m o t - XVI Features:
Is there a way to implement a way to create an only area in Towns 2? Like you guys do for the forums how only Paws can see and enter it? This would be amazing seeing all the little Paws around with no smelly humans. There is! Maybe for a future special event we'll put something in like this. smile Narumi Misuhara ChaosTrooper FeaturesWill there ever be consideration to bring back the ability to make your own "room" in Rally? Yes, that is a planned update to Towns 2 (which includes Rally and Virtual Hollywood)
