Beach Party Blow Out

Hey Gaians,

The life guard tried to end our Beach Party early, but we showed him what's what! The Beach Party is still going on and will keep up until July 2, 2014 at 11:59pm PDT. At that point we'll have to pack up our gear and find another party to hit up! Be sure to check it out here! Princess Angelishia (?)

Hi all!

Looks like there's some trouble previewing animated items in La Victoire! We are looking into the issue! In the meantime we just wanted to assure you that while the preview isn't working, the item is! For now, we suggest previewing animated items by searching them on our Marketplace.

So sorry for the inconvenience!

GoFusion Charm Packs

Hey all,

We wanted to let you know that we're aware of a bug with the GoFusion Charm Packs. The item grant pop-up only displays a single, making it seem like you only received one. Never fear, you actually receive all of your assortment of charms. The display is bugged. Our developers are aware of it and will be fixing so that it properly showcases what you receive from the Charm Pack. You can check how many Charms you have by visiting our GoFusion landing page. If you believed that you may have not received all your Charms, please file a billing ticket at our Help Center.

We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience while we fix this! Zero Omega (?) Admin Lead Post: 63632027_1120 created on Sun Jul 20, 2014 8:07 am Posted: Sun Jul 20, 2014 8:07 am Zero Omega's avatar

Robbery at La Victoire

Hello Gaia!

As some of you are aware, a recent glitch allowed some Gaians to steal items from La Victoire. This situation has two unfortunate side effects:

☻ Gifting in La Victoire is temporarily disabled. ☻ Gaians who have had stolen items gifted or traded to them may have had their accounts locked by an admin.

Please be assured that our admin are working to resolve the situation as quickly as possible and we will be returning full access to affected accounts in the near future.

We appreciate your patience as we work to clean up the situation. The stolen items are being removed from the system and our dev team is hard at work securing the store.

Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you! As a small apology, we are offering 25% off on GCash for a very limited time.

Thank You Sandokiri (?) Admin Lead Post: 63632027_1122 created on Mon Jul 21, 2014 6:06 pm Posted: Mon Jul 21, 2014 6:06 pm Sandokiri's avatar Offline

While this is going on, some users may encounter occasional slowdown or connection issues. We don't anticipate that many people will have trouble; but if you do encounter issues, this maintenance is the cause.

Gold Generator Update

Hey all,

Some of you have reported not seeing any of the gold generators in the Cash Shop. This is not a glitch. At midnight on August 6, 2014 the Golden Watermelon was hit with a new strain of the G-Virus and infected all the other gold generators. As a result, we had to remove them for an undetermined amount of time. … We’re kidding about the G-Virus. We actually have removed the gold generators for the time being though. We hope that this explains where they went and that this isn’t a glitch in the Mat--- System.

We apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused, if you did purchase Gaia Cash with the intent of purchasing any of the gold generators that were in the Cash Shop at the time, then please file a billing ticket at our Help Center http://www.gaiaonline.com/help.

Navigation Changes

Hey Gaians,

Tomorrow, August 15, 2014. we will be making changes to the site’s navigation header. The following changes will be implemented:

We will be removing the “Home” link. To return to the home page you can simply click the “Gaia Online” logo next to your avatar. Example

A “Gaia Cash” link and drop-down menu will be added next to the “My Gaia” link and drop-down. This will display all the various ways to obtain Gaia Cash. Example

We’ve organized the look of the “Shops” drop-down. On the left-hand side we will feature the Gaia shops. The right-hand side will showcase item related features like Marketplace and GoFusion. Example

Finally, we will be adding a link to GoFusion which will sit between “Shops” and “Forums.”

We believe these changes will make it easier to navigate to various areas around the site. We will let you know when these changes go live. We do not anticipate this causing any bugs, but we will set up a thread to report any if you come across them.

Back Alley Bargains

Hey Gaians,

Just a heads-up regarding Back Alley Bargains. Given that zOMG is currently down we will be removing the items from the shop so no one accidentally purchases them. We are keeping the shop up though so you can continue to use the recipe exchange. So exchange to your hearts content!

Halloween 2k14

Hello everyone! The Halloween 2014 event is in the process of being released!

Some important information you are going to want to know about, some of the items used in the event are soulbound. This is temporary! There are some Jack set items in the event that are used to fight bosses that will be soulbound during the event. As soon as the event ends, these items will be unbound.

...Now, be sure to check out the event! The clock... is ticking....

Edit 10/22 The above should read Advocate set, not Jack set. It is the Advocate set that is souldbound. Again it will be unbound when the event ends.

Halloween Fixes

Hello Gaians,

Thank you so much for playing our Halloween 2k14 event! We hope you are enjoying it thus far! That said, we have been made aware of numerous bugs that needed to be addressed. The following bugs have been fixed:

NPC boss battles are now a little easier / fairer. The issues with not being able to fight an NPC boss have been fixed. The issues with NPC bosses not granting items have been fixed. The leaderboard has been fixed. Your health will be restored to full if you lose an NPC boss battle. The issue with not being able to attack when you still have attacks left has been fixed. Attacks going into -1 has been fixed. Soul Candy redemptions have been fixed. Advocate items quantities have been restored, the 0’s were glitches. You can now win the Advocate's 2k14 Hat.

We are also aware that most Angels are being killed almost immediately after posting. We are currently working on a fix to this imbalance, and apologize for the wait.

We hope that this will make the Halloween experience more enjoyable for everyone! We think we squashed most of them, but if you encounter any further bugs please post about them in the Bug Report Forum.

Thank you for your patience…

Some zOMG! Clarifications

Hey Gaians,

We want to take a moment to address the issue of zOMG! being shut down, and to give more details about why we are unable to bring zOMG! back. We understand that people have been upset by this news, particularly those Gaians who have been loyal zOMG! players. We'd to take a moment to address several of the major concerns and comments about zOMG! closing that we've seen expressed in the forums:

a) With regards to our previous announcements, in which we said "don't worry: zOMG! will be up and running as soon as it's patched up!", we want you to know that when we made these statements, we did honestly believe we would be able to bring the game back after fixes were made. It was never our intent to NOT bring the game back. The decision to leave zOMG! down was only made after learning about serious problems with the game's code. We do want to apologize to you, however, for the way we worded our messages. We should not have said the game was definitely coming back even if this is what we believed when we made those statements. It was never our intent to be misleading about the state of zOMG!, and we understand why this is upsetting for you. We are sorry, truly, for any frustration this has caused.

B) Regarding the reason zOMG! cannot be brought back, there has been a lot of speculation on the reason for our decision. Frankly, the truth of the matter is that during an investigation into issues with zOMG!, it was discovered that zOMG! had a serious flaw in the code. Basically, there was a security exploit in the game that, had it been abused (and thankfully it wasn't!), would have allowed people not only access to zOMG!, but to our site's servers and ultimately, to all your accounts. Knowing this was the case, we couldn't, in good faith, continue to allow zOMG! to remain up and running. We even had one of the fabulous former zOMG! devs look into the issue to see how long it might take to fix this exploit, but a concrete estimate was impossible to make given the sheer volume of code. Ultimately, we decided to leave zOMG! shut down because the security of your accounts and our servers is priority.

C) Finally, we would like to say that closing zOMG! had nothing to do with money, or whether or not zOMG! was making a profit. Frankly, zOMG! hasn't made an overall profit for a while now. We've left zOMG! up and running because we love zOMG!, and more importantly, because we know that YOU love zOMG!. Closing zOMG! was actually a very difficult and sad decision for us, especially for those staff members who saw the game from its inception, to launch, and beyond. At the end of the day, however, the safety concerns over the exploit had to prevail.

We hope this provides you with more details on why the decision to shut down zOMG! was made. Again, thank you to all the players who have supported zOMG! over the years - we hope that you'll carry forward fond memories of the friendships you made with other players in game. Zero Omega (?)

Booty Grab Payout Increase

Booty Grab's per game payout has been increased for both players and tank owners by 500x. The daily limit remains the same. We will leave the payout as is through the weekend and make further adjustments next week as needed, if needed.

Custom Tickets Update

Hey Gaians,

We wanted to give you a heads up about some recent changes to our Custom Project Tickets. Our Project Tickets allow you to work with artists to create new items, recolor older items, get an illustration of your avatar and much more!

We are now allowing Limited Quantity items to be recolored as long as their initial 6-month period has expired. After that, consider them fair game!

This policy has been in effect for months now but as a reminder all our item creation tickets like Golden Ticket, Mini Golden Ticket and Baby Golden Ticket only allow for one hidden pose.

All our item creation tickets (unless otherwise noted) come with one round of revisions for approval. We consider our mocks to be the final pixels barring any changes requested.

Please try to only email when you own a ticket. We cannot 'save' any ideas unless your ticket has been approved and removed from your inventory.

We have cleaned up some of the excess stickies in the Project Custom forum!

Good luck everyone! Please visit the Project Custom forums for further information regarding rules, questions or to chat with other enthusiasts!

Custom Ticket Trading

Hey Gaians,

We've seen an increase in reports about users making deals for Custom Tickets. In these reports, one party promises to deliver items to the other party when the item is completed as a part of the sale. Under our rules, this is a prohibited form of trading as you as trading items that you do not currently own. When you agree to make a trade with another user, you must own the items that you are trading. When you decide to make these sort of deals, they are considered buyer beware and, unfortunately, something Gaia Online will not be able to assist with if the user does not provide you the items that were promised. Users found trying to make these sort of exchanges will have their thread removed. We urge you to not make these type of deals due to the very real possibility of being scammed. If you have any questions or concerns about this policy, please feel free to file a ticket at our Help Center. Thank you for your understanding! Zero Omega (?)

PayPal Error Update

Hey Gaians,

We believe we have identified the cause of some users not being able to actually pay through PayPal or credit card. The reason for this is due to special characters being used in the billing information you fill out. For example, if your name is Rufus Cat Reé, you would receive an error and be unable to make the payment. To work around this, enter the non-accented counterpart. In this example, instead of using "é" you would use "e." This applies to both your name and address. If you do encounter this error, we'll give you an error message that informs you what to do to get around it!

We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this and we hope this resolves the issues some of you seem to have with making the payments. If you continue to run into problems making a payment, please file a billing ticket at our Help Center and we'll be happy to assist you! Zero Omega (?)

Caroling Achievement Update

Hey Gaians,

We have fixed an issue that popped up after our initial fix of the Caroling achievement (Wintersday Bard). Yesterday we let you know that if you have already done a full round of Caroling and did not get granted the achievement, you should just have to visit a shop with Caroling icon to get the achievement. This didn't work the way we expected it.

We have now applied a fix for this. If you have already done at least one round of Caroling and have not received your achievement, then visit a shop with a Caroling icon and you should receive the Wintersday Bard achievement. Please note that it may take up to an hour for the achievement to actually grant to your account. We want to thank you for your patience as we investigated and fixed this! Zero Omega (?)
