Are you guys going to expand on the gaia gacha thing maybe change the system up abit by paying Gcash to spin an actual gachapon that drops a random gacha ball and we would have to go to our inventory and open it

What an interesting idea! We'll have to look into seeing if we can do that.

Are you planning on changing the sig kb size limit? A file size limit from 2003 is really outdated, people with computers that can't handle gifs in signatures probably can barely run this site in the first place.

It's something that we are still discussing, we have to keep mobile Gaians in mind as well.

Features: Profiles
Can we get the option to enter in our own gender identity on profiles? Currently we can choose to display gender on our profiles but it only displays the gender of the human avatar base we are using and is limited to only 2 options. (Paws can choose but only between the 2 options.)
We would like to be able to customize the gender option since there are a wide variety of gender identities out there like gender fluid, non-binary, transgender, agender, demigirl/boy etc. and there are just too many to simply make a list to choose from without risk of leaving someone out. So having a blank box where we can type in our own identity would be a great idea. Also a large number of gaian's switch their avatar bases constantly depending on what kind of outfit they put together so it doesn't make sense to have the gender option be linked to what avatar base we are using anymore. <3

You can be anything you want to be, even a shark on Gaia, though the option box for gender is lagging far behind, it's the technology that need to be adjusted, and that'll take some time to adjust. It require some big database changes, which we should eventually get around to it. For the time being, I suggest hiding the gender field in your profile if it isn't reflecting the correct representation.

How are you guys going on the new tagging and inventory display system?
Any info on it, like if it will be individual pose based etc.? I think that's what made that other site so good
Have options for user generated and moderated tags like steam's game tagging system?

Could you add an option in avatar builder for wishlist items? It would make it a lot easier to create avatars making use of items that we want to buy in the future, as we could just find them there, rather than having to search up the name of each item individually.

Features: Sitewide HTTPS secure connection
Hi, this message is showing at the login page:

In other words, Gaia still lacks HTTPS security sitewide.
This makes the site unsecure, vulnerable, and less trustworthy
compared to other popular sites that does have HTTPS security.
So my question is: When do you plan on adding HTTPS security?

We're testing the new server build with the new operating system, as well has update on the new load balancer and firewall. Once the servers are updated we'll be switched over to https completely, eliminating the warning message.

Can we please get the option to buy multiple of an item from gold shops? This is an option in the Cash Shop so it is possible and it's a bit frustrating that it isn't in the gold shops.

I do hope to see a shopping cart feature pretty soon. Someone started such project a while back but it was never finished. The option for multiple items is just for packages, which really isn't the best way to handle multiple items.

Hey so, I don't know if this is an issue that you can fix, but maybe it is. But the text boxes can be made bigger and such. But since there have been some updates to gaia, in Google Chrome when in threads, the text box does this. In Firefox, it doesn't do that. But the really weird thing is, that in Chrome, PM's don't do that when expanded. Quick Reply in Chrome also doesn't disappear off to the side like that either. So I'm not sure if the issue is something with you guys or not, cause all the other text boxes all seem to work fine in Chrome. It's just when posting in forums.

Might just be outdated or flat out incorrect styling that is not consistently being respected in various browsers. We'll add a task for us to review this possibility.

Could you consider bringing back actual GCash coupons? Even if it's just a random once a week thing. Like Monday through Sunday, each week a different random day get's picked to have a coupon that offers discounts on GCash? I'm not asking for them every two hour of every day, just a random once a week flash sale type thing where the GCash is actually discounted.

Since we have moved away from the 2nd party system that managed them it's not likely. We have moved to an in-house system that does not support coupons. We have the Gaia Cash bonuses instead, but we explained the move here. That reasoning would also apply to coupons.

Any plans to swap the reward timer for Lake Kindred kins from '24 hour countdown' to 'resets at midnight'? As it is right now, it's a bit of a pain to collect because the time it rolls over is always crawling towards 'I should be asleep' or 'I will be at school/work' territory, and it would be nice to have it roll over like everything else on the site does. Daily Chance, rewards on zOMG, and Runway roll over at midnight, so why is Lake Kindred different??

Project Tickets
Have you guys considered a way to curb ticket hoarding?
I've seen many people showcasing their tickets & never using them so it's... kinda a mute point to have them if they are just a considered a status symbol.

I'll be honest but that news does worry me considerably.
Well, it comes down to the fact that we do not want to fall into the same predicament as before where tickets were being sold way below what it costs to make the item where Gaians were waiting forever for word of progress from us.
It's not going to go away, by any means, if that is what you are afraid of.

We no longer have the rights to steam the copyright videos from back in 2010, and would require new license to do so. If the theater would make a comeback it would be youtube content only. I do want to revisit bringing back theaters. Just need better moderation features to avoid the bad content.

While I would love to expand Towns 2, we need to transition away from flash to HTML5. I will be looking into Towns Mobile options in the near future.
Does that mean we may get a new version of towns2 that runs on html5? will this also be available for PC web browsers?

Hi guys! I just got my two Gaia NPC stickers in the mail yesterday and wanted to tell you how much I love them. I noticed that each order seems to come with the same little Yeti sticker (at least I think it does). Do you think you could do different stickers so we could collect them? It would be a little surprise that comes with your order! Like, "I wonder which sticker I'm going to get this time"
You don't have to do this though, just an idea c: seriously though, I'm in love with my purchase!! I'm gonna find a good place to put them and treasure them for a long time

When are cash shop items going to be more reasonably priced? 700 dollars for a PRT is pure insanity gaia. You are coming off as being money hungry which isn't what gaia is about.
When are cash shop items going to be more reasonably priced? 700 dollars for a PRT is pure insanity gaia. You are coming off as being money hungry which isn't what gaia is about.
Unfortunately, Gaia needs money to survive. We are money hungry because our tank is empty, but that's a different subject, actually.
But, if you were to purchase 70,000 Gaia Cash at the 50% bonus it's $467 at the lowest without any other purchasing assistance. That's pretty low when you figure the majority of said purchases are used to pay the artists that produce them.
