Items

Are you willing to add a auto sort button when we sell at marketplace like highest to lowest? It will help alot!


Sorting by value is a feature that is in the works. The feature is not difficult, but for users with more than 30,000 items it eats up too much memory or time to sort. We will come up with a different solution soon.

Moderator App

I already notified Jak Bauer of this, but the moderator app submission is broken. It does not recognize passwords or that you clicked 'consent'. I raised awareness of the issue here in this post but so far, I haven't heard anything back. Could you perhaps get the team to look into this before a lot of people's ability to sign the NDA resets?


We will have the moderator submission bug fixed this week.

Games - Gaia Fishing

Is there any Information on the progress of fixing the grants for reaching the Fish milestones to recieve Angelic Rod and Angelic Rod+, as far as I know it's been broken for a while causing there to be a low number in circulation and the price ultra inflated secondhand for those that did get them, does gaia still grant trophies for those that place number 1 in a category month to month?


We will look into fixing the issue with angelic rod grant. We will soon have a system to automatically grant angelic rod after a comprehensive validation check. This feature is still in the works.

We do grant trophies, for 1st-10th in every category except Overall, which only gets the Gold for 1st. We try to get them out as soon after the month switches over as possible. The Trophies are granted pending a manual review so please be patient.

Items: + Features: Forums

Special floating items (e.g. chests) to claim on page-loads are nice bonuses, but...

Mine seem to only appear right after I submit a forum post, which means that I see it on the temp page telling me what platinum I earned -- a page with a short timer that then redirects me to my new post in the forum.

Clicking on a flying item and then clicking on the claim is a challenge when the source page has only a three-second timer on it. One slow page-load in the two-step process means failure (and probably showing up in your stats as an absent user, possibly non-human).

So my suggestion is that flying bonus boxes, chests etc to claim should avoid temporary pages that have short fuses to redirects. If end-user behavior has triggered a human-present test, please hold off until after the temp page has issued its redirect, and then offer the prize on the destination page.


Once a user is offered a floating item such as the chest, the chest will show up again shortly if it has not been claimed for one reason or another. We will look into having it avoid pages that refresh automatically.

QUESTION CATEGORY - GAMES - AQUARIUM

Question - I get notices of aquarium glow times but the glow does not happen at the time specified. This has happened repeatedly to me and at least 2 other users. I posted a bug report in January and updated it several times, including today. I see no pattern of time of ignored glows. Why this is happening? Will you fix it? Thanks in advance.

In March Lanzer answered: "That's an odd one, I'll run some debug and see why this is happening."

Whatever debug Lanzer tried back in March didn't work. The problem continues. Can you try to fix this? Thanks..


I ran some debug and thought it worked fine. I'll check again. Sorry for the weird bug.

can you change accuracy and resist amulets to a solid number rather than a percent? they're out of 100, and if the kin has a low value the percent doesn't increase much. ):


I will ask the team about this. We're in the middle of making more updates.

Are there going to be any achievements for participating in the new Battlefields game?


We just released the basic version, but will definitely add more rewards and achievements down the road.

i have a stalker, who has never contacted me, but makes accounts in my name and does VERY bad, ToS violating things in an attempt to either ruin my reputation (which gets me ignorelisted) or get me banned (the mods have not fallen for it thankfully).

is there anything i can do about this? ):


Hi there,

Have you reported this user and the accounts they make?

can you do a mass-cancel in the market like once per month to prevent stuck listings? some of these stuck listings are likely by people on hiatus and will never see the staff alert.


I'll add that to the do-to list. Have to be careful in identifying what is stuck and what is not.

Are there any plans to make the Astra animated again or is it a glitch causing mine to not animate?


It's not so much a glitch than how today's browsers do not support flash files anymore, especially ones that are under a certain size. Browsers like to mark those as ads or potentially harmful programs and refuse to load them by default. As a result, Astra animations are no longer supported.

please reconsider a way to release old gaia event items, such as the zurg skins. I want to grab some of the paw ones, but they seem to have gone extinct sad


Sure, we had been talking about ways to re-release some of the older items.

Account Emails

Has any development been made in seeing if Proton Mail can be used for Gaia? I read a few weeks ago that it marked Gaia as spam or something like that? I'd really like to move my Gaia account to my proton mail account.


We haven't got a chance to look into this yet. Once we have a chance we'll do some testing and see why, if any of our emails are getting blocked.

are you guys working on updating from flash?
I liked the astra items sad


We will update some of our flash games into HTML5, but Astra items will be tougher as there isn't a format that can deliver the result that we want.

sorry for my repeat posts on the invisible skin* stuff (I own my obnoxiousness) but I have a different question regarding it. if I were to get a hold of a ticket, would this request even be possible? or would I be wasting my time saving up because of the technicalities?

(*footnote: invisible skin as in making the human base transparent for scenic avatars)

hope you all had a nice easter!

Unfortunately this would not be possible with a ticket. We don't allow users to create standalone mods such as this.

Can somebody hit the ticket queue thread again? It hasn't been updated in over a month.

There have been no changes. We update it whenever a batch of orders are accepted.

Here is a list of the current ci/rigs that have the 'continue' and 'quit' button on top of each other or miles apart, or in other wonky ways they did not originally have. There are more then these, but these are the ones I've gotten in the last few weeks.
Animal Quackers, Arcana Break, Azrael's Trickbox, Bitter Frost, Dark Reflection, Emerald Seed, Eternal Rivals, Famestar Hero, Fortune Egg, Hell Prison, Lexbox, Lonely Star,
Love Charm 2, Midsummer Swirl, Perfect Tragedy, Radio Havok, Snow Apple


We came across this when working with opening up items on the mobile app and should have a fix shortly. Thank you for brining it to our attention.

Games:

Do you guys have any plans of making any new games? I really want to actually play games to make money on this /GAME/. Not just keep flipping items from cash shop. And lake kindred yes but, thats literally the only option and quite frankly since I've played MOGA, it just feels boring.


We're going to put together a few API for 3rd party to develop games with Gaia avatars. Once we have more concrete detail we will share with you right away

I am still missing a ton of game tab items that vanished during trades from January/February. The items showed up in trade history for both accounts, but neither account has the items. The item recovery tool that was recently added earlier this month did not recover the items on either account. I've asked about this on a couple of ats as well as filed a ticket and haven't heard anything. If someone could look into this it would be appreciated.


We just added a game item recovery tool for trade. If you scroll down on the main trade page you should see the link for the recovery tool. Please try that and see if it helps.

So the daily plat gift that automatically pops up when we log in everyday, the way it was before, we didn’t have to click to collect it we’d just get the daily gift automatically. Can it be changed back to that or can there be a link added somewhere? (If there’s already a link I’m not aware of please let me know.) That way if we miss it or it gets cut off then it’ll be easier to collect that day instead of missing it.


Hi there,

Go HERE, scroll all the way to the bottom and look for the button on the right that says "Claim Daily Gift"

Thank you very much for the ability to undo when making a new avi in the dress up.
is there a possibility to add a redo button as well?
in case you undo too many times, and can't remember the name of the item you just made vanish.... sigh happens to me too often.


Sorry the system doesn't have memory set aside to record re-do's. Will take a while until we have that setup.

Merchandise

Does Gaia plan to sell or release more IRL Gaia merchandise in the future? Either through more Gaia Box Tickets, Gaia Artist Alley Box Ticket, or other purchase options? I would love to buy more IRL Gaia merchandise like plushies, shirts, enamel pins, autographed art prints etc. I have already bought a majority of the merch from the booth hosted at cons in the past and the redbubble shop. New merch would be really cool and fun! :D


We don't have any planned at the moment, though I'd love to see some new plushies.

Since returning from my hiatus, I heard Gaia went through a rough hurdle in it's history not to long ago. How is Gaia doing in terms of it's health and well-being atm? heart


Right now Gaia is breaking even, but we still have some debts that we need to finish paying so that's taking a small toll on us. Once the debts had been paid off we should be in better shape!

[The usual Sir Valen Pureheart zOMG! post]


I've had the worst luck with the Jabber server setup. I might drop that project and bring back the train station first.

I was going to upload all the groovy scripts but there were a couple that still need to be filtered out, then things go busy and I dropped the ball. I'll find another chance to upload soon.

Will we ever be able to gift items from our Game and zOMG! invo tabs/sections? I ask because those items when placed in a trade STILL are going missing. I had a trade with another party and the trade included all game/zOMG! items.

Well everything BUT 3 Strawberry Chocolate Eggs made it through the trade. Now I am VERY nervous about trading..period. So can we do this? Thank you.


Please try the trade recovery tool and see if it helps. We will find the root cause of the bug as soon as we can.

please redesign the registration page? it was a rush-job done under goldemort so that people could register with paw avis. doesn't even have a password confirmation field D:

we also need some new really nice starter sets (like with arm and legmods) and a randomize function that can put together options from every previous starter set.
there's a ton of avatar creation apps out there that appeal to young teens and they could be the future on gaia if we make things appeal to them.


We will have new starter avis very soon! Probably this week or the next.

Do you have any plans to fix the crippling bugs with the Current profile template system? Or... better yet, scrap both existing profile templates and create a new singular profile template?


The aged system need to be revamped, unfortunately we have a lot on our plate, and we probably won't get to profile system for a while.

Greetings and Salutations! I know your busy with other high priorities but checking in on the guilds bug I noted here with moved threads no longer being publicly viewable. It's confirmed to be happening in other guilds there just aren't that many that have mass moved threads. It, unfortunately, leaves half of our guides and projects broken.

Thank you for all your hard work!


I just got around looking into this bug, hope to have it fixed later today or tomorrow. Thank you for your patience.
