Features (Guilds)

My guild has accumulated a total of 18 platinum (as per the homepage), but our guild announcements only cost 5g to send out (as of now); also, you can now set the entry fee for new members in platinum, but even if we put it at 1 platinum and admit one new person, the homepage still reads that we have 18 instead of 19 platinum.

Is there any way that we could get this streamlined? This is a great opportunity for a gold-sink, especially for guilds with tons of members, frequent announcements, or both. Many thanks!

We'll take a look into this.

Games (fishing)

I haven't received my fishing trophy for the month of October 2017, and was wondering when I should expect it to be given to me.
A bunch of other gaia fishers said that you guys release several months worth in bulk because other parts of the site are a bigger priority.
Is there a date on when the next trophy release will be?

We'll get to work on getting these trophies out for everyone! Sorry for the wait!

You guys fixed the avatar issues in the flash spaces, but towns 1 is still affected. Will that be fixed eventually ?

We'll take a look into the Towns 1 issue, but there's a possibility we won't be able to fix it.

Forums

Can we please have the ability to "Sticky" threads in our "My Topics" section? Since we can't delete the threads, we need a way to find ones we still use easily. Or maybe let us choose to hide certain topics? The way it is now, I am reluctant to ever post a new thread because it will spam up my "My Topics" page and push threads off to other pages.

We'll add it to the list of features requests, but it won't be a high priority update.

Hello everyone!

Please pardon the dust while we migrate various servers to the latest operating system. We're starting with the avatar servers and will move on to the main web servers later in the month.

Events -- Black Friday

Last ATS, one of you lovely staff members mentioned that there are a few kin currently being made-- thanks for that! It'll be nice to see something new. However, that got me to thinking: will there be any kin, either brand new or recolored, featured in this year's Black Friday sale?


They might not make it in time for Black Friday, I'll need to check with the art team first.

Can we expect holiday events coming up this December for zomg and Lake Kindred?


There's a small event in zOMG, and I'll need to check with Lionheart to see if there's something for LK.

Hello.
How is the staff doing today?


I'll be great once we squashed all the bugs related to the avatar server. Hope I can sleep tonight!

Thanksgiving is coming. Are we going to have a new mini-game or re-releasing the Gobble Game?


We're working hard on the Christmas event already but we can probably bring back the Gobble game.

Seeing as how Gaia Chat is going to die due to Flash no longer working properly. Are we going to replace the feature with something else?

I know we have Discord, but there are few people who prefer not to use Discord and I see that the livestream uses Chatwee to chat with the community as well as streaming.


We hope to replace all the flash content we can with alternatives, including chat. Chatwee may be an option.

I keep getting the pms about the streams but when I click on the icon it says that I cannot join. Is there a reason for this? I'd like to join sweatdrop


The live stream is a new feature and we're working on fixing these problems. Sorry about that!

Games - zOMG!

For well over a week now, quite a number of zOMG! players have been plagued by the inability to see their avatars or NPCs in the game and despite numerous people (myself included) trying to get someone's attention regarding this, both in the z!F and in the bugs forums, it feels like the staff has been eerily silent on the matter when it's an issue that's been impacting a lot of players. I wasn't even able to enjoy the extension of the Halloween event because of it.

Can we finally PLEASE get someone to look into this, or at least acknowledge the problem? I miss being able to play the game since the problem started.


The avatar problem in zOMG is the same problem in Towns and other flash games, and we had been working on those bugs for the past 2 weeks.

We've addressed almost all the issues related to the server changes. I hope that we will have any remaining issues resolved in the coming week.

Sorry to ask again, but any chance PayGarden purchases will count towards Live Stream views any time soon? emotion_bigheart


We double checked to make sure that it's working, but let me check with Narumi again. He might have missed something. sweatdrop

How goes the hiring for the marketing and product management positions?


We're moving slowly as it's not an immediate need. Position still open

Question:

I am unable to use towns and towns 2, Vh and rally
It tells me to enable flash

I've made this video of what happens to try and help figure it out (sorry for the music)


Wow, that does seem annoying. Are you getting this problem on any other sites?

Can you try another browser?

Has Gaia Online ever considered trying to improve their usefulness as a social media platform for creators? Maybe allow image, or even video hosting! Sort of like tentacl, But PG-13!


I really want to have image and video hosting, that's one of my goal for next year. For now I want to at least have a good API setup for Imgur, but server upgrades are a priority for the time being.

Something that I've noticed during every Halloween/Christmas for the past few years, is that the shops on the very last page of that little store directory at the top don't show the icon for the candy/music note. It gets really confusing if you don't already know that those shops are missing the icons. Can someone look into this?


Sure I'll keep an eye out for this Christmas

Features: Profile

Hello, I'm very sorry if this has been asked in the past. Will it be possible for users to edit their profile using browsers like Chrome and Firefox? I'm aware that you can only edit it on Internet Explorer for some reason, but it would be fantastic if you guys could fix it so that it works on the newer browsers.


Is there a specific feature in profiles that doesn't work on Chrome? We've tested it recently and didn't see any problems.

Tonight is only 10% of the migration, the web server portion will be 1000% more fun

Is the server upgrade going to fix the invisible avatars problem?


No, it is a separate issue. Where are you experiencing invisible avatars?

Is the new mobile app still scheduled for release this December?


Some of the features are lagging, so we might release a limited version by December, hopefully the inventory tools will proof useful

It's a co-op event, no Christmas battles. smile
