Well Gaia it's another Presidential election and another leap year and you know what that means it's another Summer Olympics year. Last year some members of the staff who have since left for one reason or another showed interest in having another Rejected Olympics for the summer event this year. Is it still possible to have another Rejected Olympics this year?

Are you guys ever going to balance most of the kins? Like buff some up? Because some kin are incredibly underpowered and unusable at this point :c (Cria evolution line, bloody stagony, etc.)

We do plan on buffing up ‘older’ kin sometime soon. This will include starter kin and others, however no recent kin will be buffed. There will be a staff alert when this happens, so keep an eye out, though it will be sometime in the future.

I've heard that the Radiance Potion has two issues, namely the lack of tags on the MP and a glitch that causes the Kin's Radiant to revert to its original form after exiting the game/leveling up. Is there a chance we can get these fixed soon? I want to use the Potion I recently got from a friend to switch my second Fafnir Hatchling's Radiant from Lunar to Solar.

We are looking into the Radiance potion. However! It seems that this glitch only applies to some people? Others have it work completely fine.
However we will take a closer look at it.

So with no major events in sight anytime soon, what's next for LK? I'd love to see some QoL updates like Nicknaming, Kin sorting, Wither adjustment, and such before the next major thing. Would certainly boost morale, given that various gold-making options in LK keep being nerfed or removed.

Would it be possible to make the MP bars of the opponent Kin visible? One of my complaints with Wither is that due to the MP bar being invisible, there's no visual feedback letting us know Wither's actually working (aside from floating text, which isn't as helpful due to not knowing exactly how much MP the enemy has in the first place), so having it be seen (especially since Sycamorte's "Floating Text" pops above him where we can't see it) would help greatly.

So I've been playing Lake Kindred quite a bit lately and something has come to my attention. I can't remember if this has been answered or not, so apologies. What's with the pricing of the potions in the store? Many of the potions, especially the lower grade ones, are fairly common drops in the game. However, the pricing is outrageous for them in the store. The cheapest one is for a Singe and that's 170m just for a ten point attack potion that you can only use once! The prices are unrealistic and not worth it to buy. There is also an issue with the potions you can only buy with Gaia Cash. Why does an Ally plus 50% cost 99 GC and the Ally plus 100% cost 249 GC? Two ally plus 50% potions equate to a 100%, so shouldn't the 100% cost only about 200 GC? At this point, it makes sense to just buy two ally 50% potions and save about 50 GC. Likewise for the Skill Plus potions.

The potions are priced this way for a reason and the price will likely not change.

Would it be possible to bump up the Accuracy of all Kin? I've noticed that a lot of 85 Res Kin have accuracy issues, and being able to miss 4 times in a row (yes, this has happened to me. Twice. No, it is not fun) is a tad vexing. I'm sure everyone would greatly appreciate seeing that "Miss" floating text less.

I asked this question on 1/5/16, it was answered in the first post.
Shops/Items
In The Treehouse can we add some of the older event items in there? A lot of the older event items are outrageously expensive and hard to find if they were in the shop they'd become easier to get but they would still maintain some rarity because it takes forever to get enough stickers to buy an item.
The answer was "This is a neat idea, but not one we'd like to implement at this time. Apologies! "
Now my question is, why can't/won't you implement it? Surely you could rotate items in/out whenever you do the gold shop updates or when you sneak stuff in/out of Rococo or Mecha Neko.

I know that one reason for constant Gcash use is the drop of members and the need for income for those at Gaia Online. So since we have lost so many members, what about an event in which the staff encourages us members to invite people onto Gaia. Maybe make a contest or something for it, you know give us an incentive. Maybe a prize or something along those lines for the amount of people invited (lets just hope people don't make mules for this).
(sorry the site has hit low and I've been thinking of ways to get it back to the way it used to be)

We would hope everyone liked the site enough that an incentive wouldn't be needed.
The closest we have at the moment is Find Friends, but we could potentially look at other options.

When you roll out the re-write of the Runway are there any plans to have a museum of the winners like there is in the Avatar Arena. A couple of the users have very generously provided the links to the museums but it would be nice if there was something that was easily accessible from the Runway page instead.
Also, is there a time frame for when the changes will be implemented, people are getting really bored of the same themes and user participation and moral seems to be pretty low in the companion Runway forum.

There will be a way to view previous Runways. I do not know how elaborate that will be in terms of listing, I believe the UI is still being worked out. The next release is scheduled for mid February.

For suggesting ideas and themes to help inspire future Kin, you can always feel free to post ideas in the Lake Kindred forum! We definitely try to keep tabs on what kinds of great ideas everyone's coming up with. biggrin
Thank you, I might just do that!
However, some of my designs are rather specific. Would providing images affect the chances of getting noticed?
I also have many other ideas, for clothing items. I do understand you probably get somewhat bombarded with them, but I would love to let you see them. However, I am somewhat... protective of some of them, and would rather submit them to the mods in secrecy. Is this in any way or form possible without tickets? I don't really need any credit, just seeing them here would be enough for me.
Apologies-- for requests of highly specific items / Kin to be made, you would need to use a Ticket! For general ideas, or requests for certain colors, themes, etc. posting would be sufficient.
Edit for clarity: Regardless of how your ideas are presented, we would not be obligated to create your item designs unless you used a Ticket. Feel free to post your specific ideas in threads, but it's not likely an artist would use those, because using specific designs would be unfair to those who quested a Ticket.

I know we're trying to balance out kins, and make sure we still have some varying stats and all that --
But will we ever get any kin that are actually on par with Sakura Pegacorn Fluff?
It's actually kind of disappointing that this kin, that is very unappealing to me in every aesthetic way it possibly could be, is one of the only ones can tout their own the way they do.
Something about a boring pink ball of lint just doesn't appeal to me aside from its stats.
