Could there be more black american / textured hairstyles available in the salon? Such as low cut fades.

Examples

(User petition) More African American hair with straight bangs

(Site feedback) Extreme lack of black men haircuts

We'll keep this in mind for future updates!

Is there any update on the 2016 Loyalty Crowns (and annual t-shirts) yet?

We don't have an update on this at the moment!

Until when can we collect the achievements in lake kindred for the Easter event? It's going to be past April 1st right? Otherwise, it wouldn't have even been a full week, and worse, wouldn't have covered a single full weekend for those having already busy weeks.

We can't make any guarantees on this, but we'll keep this in mind before the end of the event!

Another Question About Tickets--Event Glitch Tickets

A lot of us filed tickets and made bug reports when achievements were not properly awarded to us a month ago because of the various glitches during the Unlucky in Love event.

After waiting 2.5 weeks, I got a message on 3/7/2016 from Jasmine from Gaia Inquiry Support, "I'll be happy to help you! We are still working on getting the achievements for this event out to everyone, and will be putting out a Staff Notice once this has been completed. Please remain patient and the achievements will be granted soon!"

All of us are still waiting (now for 5 weeks), and with another event just around the corner, it seems appropriate to have glitched achievements from the last event awarded.

When can we expect to receive our achievements?

We plan to grant these achievements out next week!

So a few years back, y'all released updated versions of the flame tops/bottoms into a RiG. What are the chances of you guys doing this with more old school gold shop items, but releasing them into the gold shops instead? I know that the 'In Da Hood' hoodies & sweatpants could use updated versions.

It's something we can consider in future gold shop updates. ninja

Are there still plans for a ticket auction in Flynn's this month? ; v ;

Of course!

Games: Fishing Trophies

I noticed that the April 2015 winners of fishing have already gotten their trophies. What about the May 2015 winners? That month was the time that fishing went down. I've previously asked in the ATS if we were still going to get trophies even if we only played for half a month, and the answer was yes. However, almost a year later, we still haven't got it. When can those be granted? Or because it was tied to the time fishing went down, it has become more complicated?

It doesn't look like we'll be able to grant out the May 2015 trophies. We'll still see what we can do, but it's looking doubtful that we'll be able to. Sorry!

Thank you for the survey. It didn't let me pick more than one ticket that was most important to me, though.

sad

That's why we asked what the most important thing is!

Will the Bunny Ranger Planet in Lake Kindred still be there after the event?


Most likely! If we look at the history of Fafnir's Peak and the Labs.

Have you heard anything from imgur about why their images no longer work on Gaia?

Items + Features: Gifting

I have no idea if this was ever suggested before, but I was wondering whether it would be possible to create "packages" containing more than one item to send as gifts. Specifically gifts, so the giver can stay anonymous if they want. It would be so nice to be able to gift multiple things to newbies, or sets to questers, that kind of thing.

For security you could maybe require a double authentication when putting a package together.

Is that something feasible?

Not sure if it's actually feasible, but we'll send the idea along.

What is up with the amount of Piopio dropping? I'm getting so many.

And are the chance item drops gonna be fixed before this event is over?


The CIs may be adjusted before the event is over, however they are not the purpose of this event, so they may be in there after the event.

"forums"

Since you've made it clear that you're not going to be reviving the zOMG! MMO game ever, can you please lock the zOMG! petition threads in the petition forum? A lot of them are pretty active and they are bumping our threads down. It doesn't really make any sense to keep them up since it's been stated over and over that the zOMG! game will never return.

Posting this for a user that wants to be anonymous.

Sure, we can take a look into this.

Will we get a couple days extension for the event, due to the several unexpected site issues? Even if everything is fixed today, that'd leave us with two days to collect all 5 of the alien bunny kin and hundreds of eggs for the alchemy formulas.


No one said that kin won't be dropping after the event. c:

is there going to be a stronger kin area in the event spot? 25-40 would be lovely. we don't have any areas for that kind of training right now.


There likely won't be one. However you can grind in other areas. c:

It would be nice if we can craft a kin like Halloween. ninja


Yes~ He's available in Alchemy.

I really like that there seems to be an add-on area to LK for every large event

but I have a question

will these areas receive an update when the same event rolls around the next year?

Or will the existing area be added on to/ given an update?


They will likely be given updates as the year goes on. c:

Hey Gaia staff! I wanted to start off by thanking you for everything this Easter event! I couldn't ask for anything more. Thank you for being the Bunny Rangers back, Having them for Lake Kindred and having Avior accept my friend request.

However, with the event being all about sending the Bunny Rangers home and helping fend off the Zurg. I was worried about one thing. Will the Bunny Rangers ever be back to visit us again? I ask this because as you know, I run their Fan Thread along with a few hangouts and I was worried that we may or may not ever see them again and if that's the case of us never seeing them again. I'm worried that I might close my thread because of that. So, is there anyway you could give me some advice on what to do?


Thank you!
Oh yes, they'll be able to come back. c:
We're currently helping them train to get stronger in Lake Kindred!

Features/Runway

On March 27, 2016 at 12:01 am PDT, Gaia increased the entry fee for the Free Runway theme, which was Chocolate Bunnies, to 199 GC. Sure the fee amount was listed as 0 Gold, but users were still to spend 199 GC if they didn’t already have the item that was required, which was the paw skin [Animal] Chocolate Bunny Fur. This item can only be purchased using Gaia Cash, it had not listings at that time on the MP, so users had no recourse but to either purchase, borrow, or abstain from participation in a theme that says free, but really, wasn’t.

There are no words harsh enough in ANY language to describe what you have just done. The poor choice in theme and require item has insulted runway participants. We are disappointed in you Gaia. Shamed of you Gaia. To think we gave you the benefit of the doubt Gaia. You spat in our face Gaia. You put shameful things into our face Gaia. It was nice when we were all worried that our paws would be left out, but you required an item which, purchased directly from the site itself and not from fellow Gaians, can only be bought with Gaia cash (which of itself must be purchased using real world currencies or earned through sponsors of which both means may and can be limited by where a users resides in the world further limiting their participation).

Easter was Sunday. This was a theme for Monday. Easter was over Monday. You could have picked any other theme, with any other required item. You could have called it Spring Cleaning and required an item from the Convert-O-Matic event. Some of the event items are still in GoFusion making them more readily available than a cash only item.

Furthermore, the item you pick made entry into the free theme cost nearly QUADRUPLE the entry fee of the GC theme, which has far better rewards with a chance of possibly reimbursing users for their purchase.

I and many others understand that the items that may be required for some of the themes may and will vary, but what we don't understand is the rationale behind this particular choice for that particular runway.

You fudged up. Pun intended. You either acted very foolishly or deceitfully with us by your choice of required item.

Now then, the question I have for you is, should we expect to see more of these poor item requirement choices in the future requiring items purchasable only with GC which not all users readily have access to (especially in the free theme) and do you intend to apologize at all for what you have done?

Thank you for the feedback on the issue, I don't have an immediate response right now to the situation but I've passed it along for consideration.

Misc:

I have another question >x< There are people that left Gaia a long time ago and for the accounts that have been sitting there collecting dust for three to five years, probably have rare items that some of us can never find because there's a hoard where no one can get to it. So I was wondering if you guys are ever going to do anything with old accounts no one uses anymore and maybe re-auction out the things?

We auction things off on Flynn's Plunder (granted we haven't had a chance to update it in a couple days) which is our way of bringing some things back into circulation.

First, will there be more Chance items showing up around kindred areas in the future? Second, will the Easter event area in kindred be here to stay after the event ends?


They will be showing up again~.
The Easter area will likely be staying too, but who knows~.
