AngelSub Survey: things I would like more clarification on:

• Post Flairs: what are post flairs? Is it another phrase for Post Styles?
• Additional Outfit Slots: will there be another way of obtaining more outfit slots? Just 3 more slots seems like a pretty limited amount to offer overall.
• Bundle Boxes: unclear what this definitively means. Is it that you can sell multiples of the same item at once, such as items that can't be stacked usually? [like Sycamorte Seeds]

• Marketplace Ads Forum: How would free ad space in a forum dedicated to marketplace ads work? A page displayed more like the Deals Bear rather than a forum?
• Trunk Box: explain what this is better. I get the impression many people are thinking this as a "free gift basket" perk.
• Clear the Catwalk: rental implies a fee. Would that vary based on ABP or first/second/third rental of the month?

• Friends with Benefits: is this purchasing+gifting unlisted items for GCash based on their ABP? If not: what is it?
• Featured Items: I feel like this could use a bit more definition, like how many items does it allow to display, or does it rotate through things your shop has as some sort of secondary signature.
• Chat Stickers: is some of this Geemoji art? If not I suggest it!


We will be posting an FAQ shortly to cover all of the questions asked

Feature suggestion: Marketplace, Sell An Item.

Would it be possible to add a filter for items that have no MP listings, much like the one that filtered Halloween event items?


Yes we can build a filter to sort or filter out items that have no listings in the MP. Will take some time to implement as we'll need to build a task to keep track of all item ids that have listings and which ones don't. We will add it to the to-do list.

SHOPS Skin Tyte, Tattoos & piercings Shop

Can the Staff Please UPDATE the, Skin Tyte, Tattoos & piercings Shop, with a New Updated way of Mixing Inks together in Multiple Qtys, instead of mixing inks one at a time?

The problem is and many other Gaians will agree with me on this, is that it is such a hasel when having 2,500 Red Inks, 2,500 Green Inks & 2,500 Blue inks and someone goes to mix them together to make 500 White inks, that someone has to cycle through 500 pages 3 times just to get the 500 white inks made and thats takes alot of time away from a gaia user who could be doing other things on the GaiaOnline site. A faster way needs to be made, like making mutiple qtys of inks in the shop, all in shot a thing! Once the problem is soveld then many people will once again start mixing inks again.


We will look into allowing creation of multiple quantities so things will be a lot faster.

Will it ever be possible to sort the alchemy shop by rank (ascending/descending) while also sorting price (ascending/descending)? I have been unable to relocate most of the essential recipes that could be easily crafted.


There are a lot of listing and sorting related request today. smile . We will add those to the to-do list, and tackle them one by one after the Christmas event.

Rewards
Points seem to be spendable for 7 months rather than 6 [ grace month? related to timers counting up? ]
Since it's been this way for some time if it were a bug; it might be ideal to pair a fix with the end of the month point expirations
aka give a grace period so that people don't have their points drop mid-month

Rewards Reminders:
Expired points dates still counting UP
Nyx was supposed to be scheduled to leave in October


Yes the reward point expiration was designed to span a bit more than 6 months as this gives a grace period for Gaians to spend their points. Unless many Gaians request the grace period to be shorter, it'll be this way for a while.

Does gaia have any intention of displaying the Contents and Drop Rates of Chance Items?

As far as i am aware there is no place on the site to find a list of what items are contained within a chance item or what chances u have of actually receiving each item.

I'd personally suggest putting a full list of both in https://www.gaiaonline.com/promo/chanceitem
as well as linking to the page displaying odds and contents, within each item's description.


We've definitely been considering adding the feature to display drop rate for chance items. Most likely something which integrate with MP as we have so many chance items already released.

Event

Hint for the event? ninja


The upcoming event is more NPC based, and tree decorating will make a come back as the core event feature is not forum based. 3nodding

Any foreseeable major updates to zOMG coming anytime soon or anything to increase the amount of users that utilize it (i.e. Increasing Gold/Plat received)?


There is an event planned to give out the integrity ring and the old train station stage is slated to make a return also. We've also been planning to increase the reward ratio for a while, will probably happen next month.

The symbols from Fashion Fray and the Fashion Fray search option in the Marketplace are still up, even though the event has ended over a month ago. Can you remove them ASAP? Please and thank you!


We actually have plans to expand Fashion Fray after the event, though currently we're quite busy with the Christmas event. We can hide the graphics until the game makes a come back.

Whatever happened with The Committe, MotoIQ, and all that stuff? Did it ever get resolved?

hi first off great halloween event! it was a great event 3nodding
second since christmas is just around the corner will it be like the halloween one where the rewards are past items?


It's not based on Fashion Fray so there won't be past items given out. You guys want more past event items? We can find other ways to grant those out.

Any updates on what's going to happen to flash spaces when flash has gone? Is there an update on towns 3? Or will Gaia be strictly forum based?


We're gonna work with a contracting team to finish the work in converting Towns 3 to HTML5. Resources are tight so things are taking longer to do than expected. Some other games will follow, but there will be some games that will face sunset as we can't convert everything by end of 2020.

Any news on a possible update to gold shops? Even recolors would be wonderful to have.
There should be a Golden Catch update this month! I can't guarantee it will have ton of new stuff in it, but we'll be able to put some nice re-releases in there.

Resources are tight but hopefully after the event we can find some resources for an update.

We did some house cleaning today and some data were archived by accident, the cars will be back very soon. Sorry about that.

Hello!

Now that the end of 2019 is coming and it has been mentioned that in 2020 Flash will stop working. Have you found of other ways to keep the games running?

This topic has been mentioned a lot at the exchange, and people are worried that if games are taken away that it will also mean that more people will start leaving Gaia. Which mostly for me would be a pretty sad thing since I have been here since 2003. (This is my second account.)


We do hope that there will be some browsers that are willing to run the older flash plug-ins, but regardless, we have plans to port towns and some of the more popular flash games to HTML5 so they will be available on both web and mobile. We will place more focus on that in the coming months.

Last time we hear that the dark mode is almost complete and that was months ago. Any update on it?


Let me check with the team. It should be out by now.

Question
what if anything is being done about multiple issues about bootygrab?


From what I know, the user created service isn't working anymore, I can look into creating a timer to replace what was lost.

Aquarium tank analyzers are down and it's hard to find people who are glowing. In addition, the gold given out in booty grab is not substantial. I think that forum might die soon.
General Panic. eek eek eek
Are there plans to fix/change anything for the aquarium?


After Christmas I'll work on an analyzer for you guys. Will adjust the prize also.

Could you please give us formulas to turn stacks of 100 Caches (ie 100 Ruby, 100 Aquamarine, or 100 Gold cache) into a bundled item? I have thousands of each color, so this would really help with inventory size and loading times, as well as making trading and selling in bulk so much easier!
I'll look into this to see if it's possible!

Bugs?

Last week I asked about email issues plaguing users for some time now, which Lanzer replied that emails are getting sent to the Spam folder.
The thing is that users aren't receiving emails at all from Gaia, nothing in the Spam folder or anything else. The emails not being received include Email confirmations for new accounts, forgotten password emails, and more.


We're still working with our email delivery company on this issue. Sorry for the wait, I've been spending all my time on the Christmas event but will follow up with the team ASAP.

A couple weeks ago I asked about adding a post style for the holiday and was wondering if there was any update if we would be getting one or not?


Sorry timeline for Christmas event is really tight, we're still trying to get more items and maybe more tree styles released, so not sure if we can squeeze that in.

items:

could we pretty pretty pretty please get old soulbound event items like potatoverseer unsoulbound? 😖🥺


Those items were marked as soulbound on each user's inventory item, so we can't just turn it off across millions of accounts as it's a ton of work. I'll look into finding a way to turn it off through the inventory somehow. Might take a while.

still having the issue of potion use resetting avis being worked on in closet that are unsaved...any chance that could be fixed 🥺


That is a puzzling issue. I will spend more time on it after Christmas. I'll try throwing in more debug info to see when I can catch the bug as it happens.

Can you fix (Ear E) pose on Polar Explorer? It layers in front of the face instead of behind.
Super late because I had band rehearsal tonight, but I fixed that pose! If you didn't know we do have an item glitch thread here where these can be reported. 3nodding

Ticket Question
For the Double Rainbow Ticket, are you able to actually invent a new color with this ticket?
I assume this is how Moluccella was added to the GO color wheel~
Another super late answer from Riyo!

You can make a new color with any ticket as long as it is not hue shifting. This would mean if you have a base color and then darker shades of that color for the shading you could use a rainbow. If you have a color that goes into other colors for the shading/outlines (Example: a pink that shifts into a blue and into a purple for the shading) you would need a Double Rainbow.

If you've got a color you're wondering about you can feel free to email project-recolor@gaiaonline and once we get emails back up and working we'll answer your question! biggrin
