Is it possible to change the forum search in a way we could look for items using their marketplace id? More specifically, I would like to be able to search for informations on items which are released in CIs or Bundles which doesn't get named in forums but which people take the time to link to the marketplace.

We'll need to look into the search engine regarding that feature. Can't guarantee if we can do that yet.

In the dressup room, can you let us have a way to view and equip items which are in our inventory's locker? This way, we could keep in storage and hide some items (like, seasonal stuff) and not need to search them in the locker (which doesn't have search options) to put them back in our inventory.
Inventory items or Locker items could be toggled from one to the other for viewing; however, both type should be possible to be worn at once to make an avatar.

We can add that to the todo list. Should be relatively easy to do.

It's been a long time since a 'State of the Website' kind of announcement was made. I mean the thing where each aspect of the site was talked about re:plans. For example, it would talk about the status of the mobile app and how much longer it's expected to be before its released. It'd also talk about the server migration, what the end of flash will mean for parts of the site, what games are being turned into html5 versions currently, what big bugs have been fixed lately, whats happening with gold and plat and inflation, and what part of the site Gaia is revamping or releasing soon.
Could someone in the know set up a quarterly State of the Website announcement/site notice?

That sounds like a good idea, we will put together an announcement later.

Hey Gaians!
Wanted to take this Ask the Staff to announce that I have made the decision to step away from Gaia and take up a job at a new company. As someone who has been a Gaian since 2003, being a part of this team as a mod, and then as an admin, has been an amazing and enlightening experience. It was not an easy decision to make and one I did a lot of soul searching for, but an opportunity was presented to me that I couldn't really ignore. My last day as an admin will be October 31, 2018!

Whoa, I hope you see tons of success at your new job! And thank you so much for all your years of hard work! As an '04 user, it's gonna be super weird without you around!
Thanks for the well wishes and kind words! I still plan to be around for a bit even as a normal user. Who knows, SF and GCD might become my new forums, haha.

I want you to know that I broke my streak of not visiting Gaia in years for this. All so I could say that it's about time. Hopefully with you gone, Gaia can once again thrive and not be subjected to your evil whims. Your mods won't have to suffer from your iron-fisted tyranny anymore!
Yeah well you know what?
You suck!
... AND I got to see Steve Blum talk about Bebop.
Yeah, I win. You lose.
...Yeah, you won that one. Can't contest that in any way. That's pretty awesome.
Congrats though, man. Kick some a** at the new place.

I'm gonna be working for a company up in San Francisco that essentially creates mod teams for other companies.

Im sure all of gaia will miss you, but will hope for the best for your new job! (if you havent said already and dont mind saying, what kind of job is it?)
Good luck!

Thank you! I will certainly miss being part of the community in this kind of role. My new job, to put it very simply, is basically creating mod and customer support teams for other companies using members of the company's community.
Does that mean you'll be helping develop Gaia's mod team still in a third-party way?
Who knows! Depends if Gaia and the new company decide to do business together, but I definitely would be interested in having Gaia as a client.

zOMG Halloween Event
surprised I'm not sure if this has been asked yet or not sweatdrop and I'm sorry if it has. I've tried to look back and see if it had been asked, and couldn't find it. But I was wondering if our favorite little zOMG ghosts will be back again this year for the Halloween Event. It's something that myself and many of my friends have been looking forward to this year xd heart

I’m guessing this is due to server migration, but will there be a fix for some of the images used in the announcements? I keep getting the little policeman image that is used when only whitelisted image hosts are checked. And apparently amazon is not a whitelisted image host sooooo... fix soon?

Uh oh, that's one of many things that need adjustments since the migration. It will be fixed VERY soon!

Will Towns 2 ever be fixed so it actually works?
Will Towns 2 ever be fixed so it actually works?
No. Because I am working on the Towns 3 engine right now.
Rally 3 is in testing now!
You'll be able to go to Towns on desktop or mobile.
i can't currently make inks for the life of me D:
Probably. I'm working on Rally right now.

It will all use the same engine, yeah? The different hangouts should be accessible from inside of each other. Like walking up to a parking lot arrow takes you over to Rally (or fast travel too). Just so it's easier to access them without closing and opening windows
Once all the maps are done I don't see why not. The original towns, rally, and vh were all separate programs, though they used a lot of the same code. Over the years changes were made to the copies of that code by different devs, so each program was a little different. When I made Towns2 it didn't make sense to it that way, so I just loaded the rally and vh maps into Towns 2. I'm planning on the new versions being the same way. It makes more sense to maintain one code base than 3.

For the Halloween, can we have pumpkin fluffs that spawn outside Jackyard again? Or at least, have the ones in Jackyard have lower health? The kill badges for the pumpkins are incredibly difficult to get compared to how they once were years ago.

I see, I'll look into that. I can make the weaker fluffs show up more often.

We're in the process of automating part of that process so it wouldn't take as much time to hand out trophies moving forward. Sorry for the wait!

A few of our guild members made mention that they'd love to see some R/L Fishing merch! Have you considered putting out some game-based stickers, plushies, etc in the future?

I always wonder- how do you guys plot out Gaia major storylines? Is there a writers room or do you guys get an idea and roll with it?

Usually the artist who draw also come up with the story, more like manga and less like American comics. We had many artists contributing to different storylines versus one single narrative because of that. Not sure if we'll do a good job with a consensus effort.

Question: Are their plans to make animated items non-flash based?
(when I click to play the animated avatars in Chrome it just takes me to their profile)

Not at this time. There is so much to convert! Flash spaces, games, etc.
I hope to do it at some point. It seems like it would be fun to do!

Is it possible to sell all my items in my inventory quickly and what is the point of crumbled up paper? Is it useful or sell(able)?
I think we'll eventually have an option to sell everything inside one box/container. If you've traded those materials for items already then being able to sell them quickly should be an option.

I apologize if you addressed this previously, but are there plans to continue recolor rerelease RIGs and the like in the future? I know there are a lot of one-time recolors from Lucky Catch and other uncommon items that haven’t made an appearance in awhile.
Thanks!

Hello! Did you mean something like Gaian Rainbow III (re-releasing recolored items) or something like Animalistic Tendencies (debuting recolors and user recolors)? Just asking for clarification!
We do plan on doing future re-release gens, if that answers your question!

Let me ask the team and see if we can do so.
