Is there any chance that some time between June 30 and July 2 a staff alert could be put out reminding users that there are no prizes for placement on the 1st and 2nd (referencing the FOTM threads for further info)?

We can make sure to do that!

Question: WIll featured Avatar come back or be fixed?

Featured Avatar was removed a while back during redesign, but we can certainly look into putting it back at a later time.

heart heart Hello Gaia Staff and Admins! It's a great day today! Hope ATS would be smooth and eventful! Thank you for your efforts to make Gaia the best! heart

Games: Heralds of Chaos
Previously on the past ATS, the response to a question that Heralds of Chaos is affected by the so called "database losses" from intermittent errors during the server upgrades/maintenance. Ever since then, there has been no official closure or announcement to fix the game or not.

My question is "Can Gaia bring it back on Facebook (including the card packs in shops) to be able to play again or it is lost forever?" If it's lost then, I politely request a simple, but meaningful official announcement regarding its closure on Facebook or on Gaia. That, as a player, would give the game respect for its passing. But we do hope that somehow, It can be fixed and be running up again and that would be very nice to play again! Thank You! heart

Games: zOMG
Straight to the point.

Is there a priority/important list on zOMG on fixes/updates/maintenance that we could know of/released as announcements? And what are your time tables/schedule for them to get done and get working in-game? If so, can we what updates/fixes are those? Details on their current progress? Their supposed release dates? What are possible things to be done in zOMG with the current resources of Gaia? Thank You! <3

Regarding the SMEB reward and plat drops:
I understand the point that farming plat rewards from the Shallow Seas is enough and fixing the SMEB reward would cause Inflation again. Platinum is balanced and stabilized as of now and that's a good thing. But we do hope that you might consider to fix it to reasonable rates that wouldn't cause Inflation soon(For example, SMEB reward can have same amount as the plat reward from 1-2 vaults/chest from SMOB (about 500-1k plat should be enough), which is fair).

The 7 plat random drops for every enemy works great! Thank You! Some areas are almost farmable due to this and comes in handy for low level players who wants to farm but cannot afford to go SMOB yet. Still, it needs to trickle down until to the weakest area to have maximum effect.

Followups from the previous ATS that still hoping until today: Bring Mini-games back even if glitchy (Goof,Fountain Game), zOMG Gold Potion reworked effect (exclude zOMG to nerf for 3 days), Old Station comeback (hangout), The "Ring Stats" in the Ring Inventory, Integ/Abuse event(10th anniversary?), Area/Story Quest Resetter, Badge Resetter/Remover, Graveyard Pier Music Track, etc.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR ANSWERS AND DECISIONS ON EVERYTHING! heart heart heart

Features: Main Site

When will we get new emojis? Also, are custom emojis possible?

Modernization look of the overall site? Is the site gonna look like the Gaia App when the mobile friendly version is out?

Also, is Gaia Help Center solely community-based or does Moderators/Staff can answer questions/problems there as well? Thank You!

Sorry, last week had been really rough with the payment page outage then the avatar system problems after our backend server security upgrade. I will look into HoC again but again, the situation doesn't look good.

zOMG updates happen whenever I slip in development time between projects, so there had never been a solid timeline and dates, though Goof and fountain games are definitely coming back, we're also planning on other new events that involve the integrity ring. I hope last week's platinum grant adjustment helped, and if there are any specific bugs please let me know.

And yes our goal is to expand the mobile friendly inventory and avatar system as well as the mobile forum into its own app eventually.

Items

Hello Staff.

In light of the new God Of War game and it's overwhelming success, worldwide.. I would like to know if Gaia has any plans of releasing an item based on Kratos's current look (gear, clothing, tattoos, Mimir's head and axe/blades of chaos) from the recent title?
Also, for it (the item) or a separate item altogether, to have a reference realted to the other characters, from the same game, namely: Atreus and Freya.. would totally be awesome.


I'll pass your request to the art team. I still need to play the new God of War myself! eek

Hello everyone! I wanted to ask if you were aware that the item search feature for the dress-up page is broken for any new item released after the "item release date" was added! Its hard to find new items in huge inventories unless you know exactly where you put them eek

I hope its an easy fix!


Uh oh, I'll look into that. I hope it's an easy fix too! sweatdrop

There's been an issue here for the last little bit where newly released items (from within the last 1-2 weeks, I believe) aren't showing up in inventory and dress up search when you try to find them through their tags. If you go through the tabs of your inventory you can find them, but for people with large inventories or just wanting to look for certain colors or items, it's been a real pain in the butt. Can this please be looked into and fixed?


I'll look into it right after ATS today. 3nodding

A few of us in the Paws forum jokingly came up with a premise for an event where all the main NPCs were turned into Animals (or Paws) and you had to try and find a cure without becoming a Paw yourself (if you use a human avatar)
I was elected to pass this idea along, just incase you guys wanted to do something with it mrgreen


Heh, I love the idea. Will I turn into Waffles?

I... Totally forgot this guild was a thing. sweatdrop I can't imagine we'd be doing anything with it anytime soon, unfortunately. The people who were in charge of it don't work here anymore.

[[zhivago is heavily featured in zomg but doesn't actually do much that's significant gameplay-wise-- what was his original purpose supposed to be? was he supposed to come in more significantly at a later chapter?


I believe the team had reserved him for a much later chapter but never got around to it. It's a shame for his character design is really cool.

The tool was supposed to work only during a specific time period I believe. That was a while ago.

Is there any chance of getting more mods to check runway for abuse/cheating? The ones who currently do so do a great job, but they sometimes have other obligations and can't always check the pools. This sometimes leaves days, weeks, or even months without mod intervention and makes users discouraged from entering.

We are adding new mods to the team in general, so I would like to look into getting more to help out with Runway as we continue to add new mods.

During the first few days of the month there are no rewards for runway wins. There are also supposed to be no entry fee. However on the Gold/Plat theme it still charges 1 Gold/Plat to enter. Can this be fixed?

We'll have to take a look into it.

Can this be updated to reflect the actual number of winners? Instead of the top three models it should actually be the top ten models.

Noted!

Can runways header paragraph be edited to also include a link to the list of Runway Terms? There are a lot of users who do not frequent the runway forum and who do not know what certain terms used in themes actually mean.

AtS

Just wanted to point out that there have been weeks when there was no AtS but no notice given on staff alerts. Can it be more consistent with the notices. I'm guessing the weeks where it's been missing were weeks where Zero was out.

I can't recall a time where we haven't given notice of there not being an ATS, the only thing that does come to mind is when we know ahead of time that there won't be an ATS when we announce our normal ATS, we'll mention that in the usual ATS announcement.

For example:
https://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/gaia-community-discussion/staff-updates/t.63632027_2289/#2289


I know you guys usually announce it but there have been at least two weeks where I came home on a Tuesday to no AtS and no staff alert about it.

I honestly don't recall a time we have missed that, I'm sure it's probably possible if we've been crazy busy or something, but I know we typically try to get a message out before ATS starts that we'll be delaying it.

Hey Gaia staff, I wanted to let you know coming here on June 10th, I’m doing a robot appreciation week community project! Is there anything you can help to promote it?

Shoot an e-mail to userevents@gaiaonline.com! We've got a new(ish) team that's been handling those more consistently for the past few months.

Still doesn't give the GC earned. Is this fixable because it's not worked in a long time. It will seem like it does but not give you what you earn. Very aggravating.


Sorry it had been a really tough one to fix as it involves the third party site not working with HTTPS. I'll work on it again ASAP.

An improved Marketplace query? Like maybe an advanced search option? Also, listed items sorting options will be great (like in windows explorer where you click the header to sort them from size/type/filename) !


Between search and sorting, which one would you choose to work on first?

likely talking about replacing the flash in astra items with HTML5.


That one is tricky!

i know you've said some items won't work properly at all, but i'm sure most people will be hapy to have a majority of them that everyone can see and use without causing their computer to melt from lag.


It is tricky on a lot of levels. I'm going to need to run some tests on it, but right now other things are at the top of long list!

in the art contest thing on the homepage, you only have platinum values for the prize, you forgot to put gold.


It wasn't a matter of forgetting, however, we can add the gold equivalent to the post. heart
