Caroling, wing stickers, and the event page will all be available through 11:59pm on Friday, but after that they'll disappear for good so make sure you've wrapped up your event festivities by then!

GCash Purchase Snafu

Over the weekend, we ran into some issues processing PayPal and Gaia-branded Cash Card payments. We believe we've resolved these issues and your cash should start showing up shortly. If you've already filed a Billing ticket about the issue and notice your cash show up now, please update your ticket so our Billing team knows that your situation has been resolved. If you happen to receive more cash than you were supposed to, PLEASE update your ticket or create one here if you don't have one waiting already. After updating or creating your ticket, leave the extra cash on your account until our Billing team can go through and remove it.

Sorry about the trouble and thanks for your cooperation! Uncle Kenny (?) Community Member Post: 63632027_794 created on Mon Jan 07, 2013 4:02 pm Posted: Mon Jan 07, 2013 4:02 pm Uncle Kenny's avatar

End of Apocalypsmas

Despite the foreboding sense of apocalyptic doom, you all came together to keep the cheer and joy of the holidays going strong through it all! With your combined efforts, you were able to decorate the tree 88 times for an astounding total of 177,072,200 positive energy, completely overpowering the forces attempting to spread doom and gloom. Congratulations to everyone that helped spread holiday cheer in these trying times, you deserve all that you received. If, for some reason, you didn't get the event achievements that you earned, please post here so that I can take care of getting them to you.

I hope you had fun with this and were able to have a happy holiday both on and off the site! Uncle Kenny (?) Community Member Post: 63632027_795 created on Mon Jan 07, 2013 6:28 pm Posted: Mon Jan 07, 2013 6:28 pm Uncle Kenny's avatar

Introducing Staff Notices!

If you're reading this then you've probably already noticed that Dev Notices now have a new name, Staff Notices. We came to this decision based on the fact that Developers are not the only members of staff making posts in this thread and that changes to Gaia's code are not the only messages conveyed through these notices anymore. We hope that this change helps clear up some of the confusion about what we use this thread for. Functionally, nothing has changed and the actual content won't be any different than what you've seen for months now, it'll just have a new name. So it's different but it's the same!

<3 this? </3 this? It might not matter! Changes coming today to the topic voting system to make it optional

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to give you a heads up on a feature I think a lot of you will really like - the ability to disable the voting feature in your thread. You know, that little <3 and </3 that some of you really love or have grown to despise? We'll be rolling out some changes to this feature today to make it optional for you whether you want to have that in your thread or not.

SDPlus Box Change

Hello! Just wanted to let you know, SDPlus Blind Boxes now work a little differently than they used to. When you open an SDPlus Blind Box you'll receive a package with a year on it, and that package will contain an SDPlus doll from the year listed. This affects all existing SDPlus Blind Boxes you may have in your inventory, as well as the ones you may receive in the future.

This was done due to a technical limitation of the system, but it also makes it easier to find the SDPlus dolls that you are looking for! Uncle Kenny (?) Community Member Post: 63632027_799 created on Sat Jan 12, 2013 5:32 pm Posted: Sat Jan 12, 2013 5:32 pm Uncle Kenny's avatar

New BBCode Tag Embed Vimeo content into Gaia forums. Vimeo.com hosts user-submitted videos (like YouTube does) but has generally higher value content.

You can embed Vimeo videos using the new VIDEO BBCode tag: [video]http://vimeo.com/54596361[/video]

[video]http://vimeo.com/channels/staffpicks/56467095[/video]

[video]http://vimeo.com/40555466[/video]

If you aren't familiar with Vimeo, I suggest you start on their "Staff Picks" channel and peruse.

You can also embed YouTube links with the same new tag.

These two types of YouTube URLs work equally well: [video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4geo31TheI[/video]

[video]http://youtu.be/K7dcSr04G8s[/video]

Note: no special options (autoplay, looping, custom player controls UI, etc.) are available. We look through the video tag for a URL we recognize, pull out the hosting website (so far only "YouTube" and "Vimeo" are supported) and get the "ID" of the video from the URL.

Currently, the new tag only works in the "new" BBCode parser (only in forums, not in PMs or Guilds). This will change in the coming days. The "YouTube" button will be replaced by a "Video" button.

If you find any issues, please reply to a similar topic or create your own in the Bug Reports forum. siskataya (?) Community Member Post: 63632027_802 created on Mon Jan 14, 2013 8:07 pm Posted: Mon Jan 14, 2013 8:07 pm siskataya's avatar

Take our survey to help us pick a name for our upcoming mobile game!

Hey Gaians!

We've been working on a fun new mobile game for all of you who like to play games on your phone! We cannot give away too many details at present (we don't want to spoil the surprise) but we think you'll really like it!

One thing we DON'T have, however, is a name! We have lots of good ideas of course, but we cannot decide which name we like best. We'd like to ask if you would take our quick survey and help us pick the name. We've included some concept art from the game in the survey, and you can use that to guide your decision, plus it'll be a clue as to what might be going on in the game!

The survey is here: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/HF3MJZ3

A few things to note about the survey:
 * It is being hosted on SurveyMonkey and it is legitimately from Gaia!
 * The survey will ask you to rank the names you like best (in order of like), if you play mobile games, your gender, and to list any mobile games you already like!
 * The survey will NOT ask you for your Gaia username or password!

Thanks in advance for all your help! Sisky siskataya (?) Community Member Post: 63632027_805 created on Thu Jan 17, 2013 5:29 pm Posted: Thu Jan 17, 2013 5:29 pm siskataya's avatar

Sorry a recent security addition had broken the G-Cash purchasing on the Android app. The problem had just been fixed.

For those who experienced problem in the past 2 days, please try the following:

- launch the android app - select "Express Store" - click on "Get G-Cash" - select "500 Gaia Cash" - wait for the Google Play screen to appear, then click cancel

The app should try to revive your last failed purchase that happened one or two days ago. If that doesn't work, please contact a Gaia admin and we'll get everything sorted out ASAP. Sorry for the trouble.

Boku Payment Update for Swedish Gaians

Hejsan! Just wanted to let all our fabulous Swedish Gaians know of a recent change to the way your purchases through the Boku mobile purchase option will need to be done!

As of February 1st, Swedish Gaians who wish to purchase Gaia cash via the Boku mobile payment method will require a WyWallet account in order for their payments to be processed. This is due to a new joint partnership between Sweden's four largest telephone/mobile service providers. We just found out about this, and wanted to make sure you had the info!

For more information on how these changes may affect your ability to buy Gaia cash, and for details on how to create a WyWallet account, via mobile payments, please check out the Gaia Blog Mini-FAQ on this topic!

PM "Delete All" Last week we released an update to PMs that allows you to delete all your messages in your inbox at once. Please take care when using this option, this option will delete all of your PMs for that box, not just the ones selected and not just the ones on that page.

If you wish to hold on to important PMs please select the "Save" option from the top of the PM when viewing it. That will move it out of your inbox and into your save box.

It seems a few people have accidentally used Delete All thinking it would only delete what is on the page or what you have selected. Over the next week we will alter the confirmation page to be more descriptive on what will be deleted when you select the Delete All option, in the meantime however please be mindful of which delete option you are using. siskataya (?)

So without further delay, the very special occasion that today's item commemorates can be seen here. Don't say I didn't warn you...

If you haven't grabbed today's special item, be sure to stop by here and click the glowing 2007 image to pick it up. lanzer (?) Admin Post: 63632027_825 created on Thu Feb 14, 2013 2:40 pm Posted: Thu Feb 14, 2013 2:40 pm lanzer's avatar Offline

Happy 10th Anniversary Gaia!

After much anticipation, the long awaited day has finally arrived. Gaia has turned 10! To celebrate this momentous occasion, we're giving out an amazing item for the last day of item grants in our For the Love of Gaia event, your choice of either a Mini Angelic Halo and Winglets OR a Mini Nitemare Halo and Winglets. To claim your prize, just head on over to the event page, click the glowing 2003 candy wrapper, head to the "Special" tab of your inventory, find the Mini Halo and Winglets item, then click it and select either Angelic or Nitemare, it's that easy!

For logging in today, you'll also receive the exclusive Partygoer achievement! All you need to do is log in (or log out then back in) and the achievement should grant itself to you. There may be some delay due to the number of users earning it, but you should get it after a few tries at most. If it just refuses to show up though, be sure to post in my Bugs thread so that I know to manually give it to you after the day's up.

I hope you all enjoy the prizes and will join us later today from 3pm to 5pm PST in Towns/other Flash spaces and the event forum to hang out, celebrate Gaia's amazing milestone, and maybe even win some more amazing prizes. We'll also hold our regular Ask the Admin in the Gaia Community Discussion forum immediately afterwards from 5pm to 6pm PST so if you have any burning questions you can't wait to ask us, be sure to attend that!

Happy Anniversary! Uncle Kenny (?) Community Member Post: 63632027_827 created on Mon Feb 18, 2013 8:09 pm Posted: Mon Feb 18, 2013 8:09 pm Uncle Kenny's avatar

For the Love of Gaia Ends Tomorrow!

Just wanted to give you all a heads up that our special Valentines/10th Anniversary event will be ending at the end of the day tomorrow so be sure to send out any other Valentines you still want to give out! I've also just pushed a fix for some item grant validation issues that started popping up, these should all be resolved now so you should be able to click the links again to get your items. As for the links going around giving out the special "10th Anniversary Deluxe Box of Chocolates", that item was supposed to only be given to those who collected all 10 days of items. To that end, I fixed the bug that was allowing the grant link to work for anyone who clicked it so no one else should be able to use these links to get the chocolate box. If you already grabbed it then I'm not going to remove it from you but just know that you won't be able to spread it to your friends anymore, sorry. If you have collected all 10 days worth of items then you only need to go to the event page and click your shining box of chocolates to claim the prize. edy (?)

Avatar glitches now fixed

A swarm of avatar bugs attacked our servers this morning causing all sorts of strange problems with specific avatar items that contain masking capabilities. Sometimes shoes would disappear, other times a whole arm would go away!

The bugs had been squashed and avatars should work fine now. Please re-save your avatar for the change to take effect.

On other good news, the problem with IAM poses crashing under Towns 1 had also been fixed. You can roam free as your favorite animal or monster in Towns 1 once again, plus, no more weird random pixels floating around. Yay!

For those who noticed that some colors aren't as vibrant as they used to be, there will be another upgrade tomorrow to address that issue.

Hey Gaians! Happy 2/21/13!!

If you're thinking, "What the heck? Why are you wishing me a happy random Thursday?" you'd be right to be confused!! We're just celebrating because today's date looks like 221B, the flat number of the famous fictional detective, Sherlock Holmes! If you know me, you'll know I'm a somewhat casual fan

Brits already celebrated this day in January (22/1/13), but because Gaia's located in the US and Americans just have to be special, our date format is different from the entire rest of the world. SO WE'RE DOING IT TODAY I GUESS. We added some new deducin' hats to H.R. Wesley to celebrate. Pop one on and you might notice something...

No longer able to purchase Gaia cash using a home phone

Hey everyone!

We just wanted to let you know that as of today, the home phone payment option is no longer available for purchasing your Gaia cash. Most of you who purchase Gaia cash by phone prefer to use your mobile phone these days, and there were other issues with this payment method that just didn't make for a happy user experience.

For those of you who might be affected by this change, we do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. You can check out our other payment methods which are located here, on our payments page!

Workaround for Paypal/Credit Card Payment Issue

Hey everyone!

Thanks for being so patient while we work to fix the recent issue with purchasing Gaia cash with your PayPal or credit card when trying to make your payment from the new payment page. In the meantime, there is a workaround that you can use that should allow you to continue to get your cash by PayPal or credit card. You can go through Gaia's old payment page to get your Gaia cash!

Here's how you can continue to make your Gaia cash purchases with PayPal or Credit Card:

Quote: 1) Go to: http://www.gaiaonline.com/collectibles

2) Click on the "Get One" button to access the purchasing page.

3) Click on the "Gaia Cash" tab to buy Gaia Cash instead of a collectible letter.

4) Select the amount of cash you wish to purchase from the drop down menu then click the "Add User" button. Click "Continue to Checkout" button.

5) Choose the method you want to use - Credit Card or PayPal and hit the "Submit" button.

6) Fill out your purchase information fields in the payment panel and click the "Review and Continue" button to access the Information Review page. If your information is correct, click the "Continue" button to access the payment confirmation page.

7) To make the payment, just click the "Confirm and Order" button on the confirmation page, and your payment should be processed!

Again, we're sorry about this issue, and are working to resolve it as quickly as possible. If you have any other issues with this process, please fill out a Billing Ticket in our Help Center.

We hope this information helps! carbonphyber (?) Community Member Post: 63632027_837 created on Mon Feb 25, 2013 12:42 pm Posted: Mon Feb 25, 2013 12:42 pm carbonphyber's avatar

We're hiring!: Job opening for CCS Admin Position

Hey Gaians!

Ever wondered what it would be like to be an Admin for Gaia? Think you have what it takes to handle the position? If so, we'd like to let you know about a recent job opening on the CCS (Community and Customer Service) Admin team!

We're looking for one awesome individual to join the in-office Gaia Admin team on a full-time basis. You can find more details about the position and job requirements on our corporate site here: http://gaiainteractive.com/jobs/community-and-customer-service-representative

One note upfront: This position requires you be at least 18 years of age, and to be able to work in the office - this is not a remote position. Just letting you know before you get all excited, head to the corporate page to check out the job description, then read the job requirements and go "OH F!*#!#$!!" and get rage-filled!

Countdown to Easter!

Our annual Easter event is right around the corner and will be here before you know it. To help keep you entertained until it goes live though, we've set up a special "Easter egg" hunt for you. Every day, until the start of the event, we'll be hiding a new puzzle piece in one of the areas related to Gaia Online. Your goal is to find all the pieces of the puzzle and arrange them to form the special event illustration we made for you. Once you do, you'll be able to see a visual representation of our Easter event theme this year and make a mental choice of what you side with. Sorry, there's no item grant for solving this, just the satisfaction of early knowledge and a pretty picture.

Are you up for the challenge? If so, you'll need your empty puzzle board. Fill it with the pieces you find to create the full illustration.

Hints:

http://www.gaiaonline.com is not the only place related to Gaia Online Today's piece has already been hidden and a hint for it can be found in what I've already told you above

You have 12 days. Good luck. siskataya (?) Community Member Post: 63632027_855 created on Mon Mar 11, 2013 8:04 pm Posted: Mon Mar 11, 2013 8:04 pm siskataya's avatar

Easter Event Updates

Our annual Easter event is in full swing. If you haven't checked it out already, head on over here and start collecting eggs! There have been a couple gameplay changes since the event launched and one main issue with users being unable to play so instead of continuing to just post in threads, I figured this notice would be more effective.

If you are having issues with seeing the eggs in the forums (for example: you only see "[eggimg],cute,1" instead of an image) then it's likely because you're using Forums Lite. The eggs will ONLY appear in the regular forum structure so you'll need to disable Forums Lite in your Gaia Lab settings in order to start collecting them. Eggs now have a lifespan so they are only available for a finite time after they're posted. The lifespan is currently set to an hour and so far that seems to be working well but I'll continue watching and adjust the time if needed. Thread conversions now have a cool down effect in place. If an NPC fails to convert a thread, the chance of a conversion post happening again is cut in half for the next hour. If the thread has bad luck and continues to be threatened with conversion and continues to beat it within that hour, the chance is halved again each time. This should hopefully prevent cases where a thread was attacked again and again only seconds/minutes after successfully fighting off a previous attack.

With that being said the Panel at Wonder Con on Sunday WILL take place as I will be able to make it in time for that event.

For all of you who were attending Sakura Con I am sorry for any disappointment this may cause and I hope you understand.

Final Weekend for Easter Event!

That's right, we're coming up on the last weekend for our Easter Event so if you haven't grabbed your items and achievements yet, you better start now! I've increased the chances for both having your thread flipped and having an egg appear so there should be more than enough opportunities for you to finish things off. The event's last day will be Monday, April 1st so make sure you finish everything before then!

Start playing now! siskataya (?) Community Member Post: 63632027_864 created on Fri Mar 29, 2013 5:18 pm Posted: Fri Mar 29, 2013 5:18 pm siskataya's avatar

New process for reporting inappropriate ads on Gaia!

Just wanted to let you know that we have simplified the process for reporting inappropriate ads you find on Gaia. We've heard from many of you that you want an easier way to report inappropriate ads and that you don't like posting some of the ad images you find in a forum thread.

To solve these issues, we now encourage everyone to simply email us at reportads@gaiaonline.com and let us know about the bad ad! Please make sure to include the following in your email:
 * Date and time ad was seen
 * Reason it is inappropriate for Gaia
 * Screenshot of the offending ad

Since we will no longer need the old "Report Inappropriate Ads on Gaia" thread, this thread will be closing on Monday. Not to worry, we'll be adding a sticky thread in Bug Reports & Technical Support reminding people of the new reporting procedures.

Just giving you all a heads-up on these changes! We hope it makes reporting inappropriate ads easier for everyone! -Sisky

Easter Event Wrap-Up

The eggs have finally all gone bad and players for both sides can now enjoy the fruits of their labor. While it was a hard fought battle, one side did push harder than the other and managed to pull off a come from behind win. So without further delay, the winner of our 2013 Easter event was ... the Anti-Cute team, led by the maniacal Easter Bunny and his army of mechanical rabbots!

It seems though that this victory did not satisfy Easter Bunny's quest to destroy all that is cute in Gaia. After numerous sightings of the rare and elusive Pegacorn Fluff, Easter Bunny carried out a brutal attack against all that were found, leaving its new owners disturbed and saddened with only its soul still left as a memory of what was. All hope is not lost though. A new plan is already in the works to make those souls worth something again. Hang onto them and keep them close, Summer is right around the corner.

If you missed your chance to grab your own Pegacorn Fluff yesterday, you can still pick one up in the Marketplace (search for Mystery Friend) from those who have carelessly thrown them aside. Stocking up won't make a difference though, one soul is all you need. And in case you missed it, you can check out exclusive coverage of Easter Bunny's rampage right here. If you're the type that likes cold, calculating numbers, continue reading to see the final event breakdown for the two sides. If not, then just remember that things aren't over just yet, you'll want to stick around for what we have planned and by the time you've experienced it all, all you'll be able to say is "What. The. Fluff?!"

Clarifying login achievements Regarding the birthday achievement and the loiterer-style achievements (i.e. login 30 days in a row). This was brought up in the ATA yesterday and I've had a few follow-up questions. I hope this post clarifies the issue.

The Birthday achievement requires that you log into Gaia on the day of your birthday, but is extremely flexible -- you can miss by several hours and it will grant the achievement.

Regarding the Loiterer and similar achievements, (@see http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/gaia-news-updates/site-changes/t.63632027_717/#717). Since that Staff Notice, we calculate logins based on your local timezone. This is different from other features (such as Daily Chance, which exclusively uses the server timezone).

I just wanted to clarify this after some questions in the ATA yesterday. siskataya (?) Community Member Post: 63632027_873 created on Mon Apr 15, 2013 8:08 pm Posted: Mon Apr 15, 2013 8:08 pm siskataya's avatar

Google retiring the Meebo Bar

Just wanted to let you know that Google is going to be retiring the Meebo Bar on June 6th, 2013. Although this was a business decision made by Google, we understand that this will affect your ability to use the Meebo chat functionality on Gaia, and know that has to be frustrating for you. Sorry about this - some things we just have no control over!

(#1) I found a subtle little bug which prevents some users from being able to select multiple friend requests and decline them. Apparently we didn't expect users to decline new friends when we originally released the friendslist feature 0.0 (#2) Comments pagination in Journals were broken because they weren't passing along the journal-owner's user ID in the URL.

Removal and blocking of known malware ad

Thanks to the many Gaians who contacted us yesterday to report an ad from eads.equads.com that contained malware.

Such harmful ads are not supposed to be in our regular rotation of advertisements, and we appreciate your having reported the matter to us. After doing more research, we discovered that we were not the only forum site to receive these harmful ads, so we encourage you all to be safe on whatever site you might be visiting and to always have up-to-date security software installed on your system. While most ads online are legitimate, there are some creepy companies out there, so stay vigilant!

We have reported these ads to the ad providers we work with and they (the ads) have been removed from rotation. We've also added filters to prevent further ads from the eads.equads.com host from being shown on Gaia. If you should see any further ads from eads.equads.com, please let us know immediately so we can deal with this issue. For reference, below is an image showing the type of message you would see if you clicked on an ad that contained this malware and it was detected by your security software. http://w.cdn.gaiaonline.com/mfs/index/adminupload/ecf6f124bae7.jpg

Thanks again for being so diligent and for escalating this important matter to us immediately! We believe that these ads should no longer be an issue on Gaia. As always, if you do find a bad ad, please email us at reportads@gaiaonline.com and let us know!

Thanks Sisky Narumi Misuhara (?) Gaia Staff Post: 63632027_893 created on Tue May 07, 2013 7:30 pm Posted: Tue May 07, 2013 7:30 pm Narumi Misuhara's avatar

Filing Help Center tickets is now easier!

Hey everyone,

We've heard your feedback about how difficult it can be to file tickets at the Help Center, whether it was actually finding where to file a ticket or coming across the dreaded No Results Were Found – 380 error when trying to visit the Help Center. We've taken your feedback and made some changes that we think should make the ticking filing process a lot simpler and intuitive. Now whenever you visit the Help Center through either the "Help" link or "Contact Us" link you should be able to file a ticket easily. I've provided a more thorough explanation in a blog post with some information if you're having trouble, you can find that here.

Thanks for your feedback as we continue to try to improve the Help Center! siskataya (?) Community Member Post: 63632027_900 created on Tue May 14, 2013 8:17 pm Posted: Tue May 14, 2013 8:17 pm siskataya's avatar

I wanted to make a post to let a few people know that I have finally sorted out their parcel issues. D'oh! Pixitella, Woo Hoo, and Virgo Whiskers - I am so, so sorry about the delays. Thanks for being so amazingly patient with me while I have been working to resolve the issue. I have tracked down the packages and will be personally resending them myself tomorrow. I've even thrown in MORE bonus stuff for all the hassle. And I know it has been a hassle!

Take care - just wanted you to know that you have most definitely NOT been forgotten! Sisky

As we informed you in April, the Meebo toolbar has been officially retired by Google which means you will no longer see it on our site. We are in the process of removing the options from your Account Settings to turn it on so that should be gone soon as well.

We currently do not have an alternative in place but we'll inform you if this changes in the future.

What the Fluff Updates & Guide!

Our Summer event is off to a smashing, albeit laggy, start. We've made several bug fixes and improvements to fix issues in the event and tweaked some of the stat rates to make the gameplay more enjoyable. Read below for a summarized list of what was changed.

Limited main Flash space rooms to 30 people & fluffs to cut down on lag Limited game Flash space rooms to 10 for Fluff Dance and 5 for the Fluff Run game Fixed several memory leaks in Flash causing lag Fixed bug with turning in your fluff to Blaze once it reached max loyalty Fixed bug causing CRITICAL ERROR to appear in various event forum threads Fixed backend bug that was causing health/energy to get out of sync which resulted in stats fluctuating wildly, getting kicked out of games prematurely, your fluff being sent home with no health/energy even though you just fed it, etc.   Fixed issue with sleeping/walking not being set correctly and causing confusing states for the fluff in-game Fixed duplicating happiness/loyalty bars in the forum/threads headers Fixed Tic-Tac-Toe matches throwing everyone into the same space Rewrote caching scheme to cut down server calls over 10x (should result in faster loading in Flash and forums) Fixed issue with fluff getting stuck in the second map of the Fluff Run Increased the rate of energy regeneration when sleeping by 170%. Decreased the rate of health depletion over time by 200%-300% and added even slower rate of depletion when fluff is sleeping Added a fluff state view to the event landing page and forum/thread headers. If you hover over the image of your fluff with your mouse on one of those pages, you'll see a list of the current states it might be in. These states include: Sleeping, Walking, Tired, Hungry, Dirty, and Loyal.

I've also put together a fairly comprehensive guide for how to play the event and care for your fluff and placed it in the What the Fluff event forum. If you're confused or know anyone who is, please share this link with them. We'll continue watching the event and fixing any bugs we find so if you run into any issues, please report them in the What the Fluff Bug Reports forum.

Our script to populate loyalty for the last 24 hours of happiness messed up last night and didn't run so that loyalty didn't save. We've fixed the issue that prevented it from running so it will save correctly tonight and give you the correct platform to start from tomorrow. Since this is such a big part of the event though, we're going to go ahead and remedy the issue for everyone who was affected by setting your fluff's loyalty to the maximum level. It'll take a few minutes for me to write up the script but keep an eye on your fluff's stats and you should see it jump shortly. Sorry for the inconvenience, don't hate us

What the Fluff Fixes 3

Another day, another dumb. I've fixed another oops that was preventing one of the item grants and one of the achievements from being given out. These fixes are retroactive so if you've qualified for the item or achievement before, you should see that pop up on the event page now.

We've also lowered the amount of energy required to play games so you should be able to get a few more games in with your fluff before needing to let it rest. We're still working on optimizing the Flash areas but things do seem to be improving slowly.

If you happened to miss it yesterday, I've put together an all-encompassing event guide which now includes all the item grants and achievements you can receive. If you have any questions about the event, be sure to check it out here. Uncle Kenny (?)

What the Fluff - Weekend Update

I've just updated the event with another slew of fixes for pesky bugs. If you're interested in what's been changed,keep reading for the list.

Fixed bug with loyalty script that was still making it not update a fluff's loyalty each night Fixed bug with health degradation that was causing it to drain much, much faster than it should have. The health should now take significantly longer to completely drain. Fixed bug with dynamic energy calculation that wasn't updating to show the effects of walking your fluff Increased the amount of time you can walk with your fluff before energy starts to drain Fixed a bug with giving treats in the forum that wasn't updating to allow users to collect new treats each day Added treat stats to the event forum so if you hover over the "Give Treat" button when it's clickable, you'll see how many treats that user has received so far today. Also added a "Treats Given: ###" counter to the end of the event title descriptions when you hover over it so that you can see how many treats a user has given to receive the title they have.

I'm aware of the issues with getting stuck in the second map of the Fluff Race and being randomly respawned after playing games and are still working on fixes for these. I think the issue of health/energy fully depleting after one game /should/ be fixed but if you continue to experience this please keep reporting it in the Bug Reports forum of the event and I'll look into it again. siskataya (?)

What the Fluff Extension!

We've heard your requests and, due to the issues at the start of the event, we're going to go ahead and extend the end time to 5:00pm on Monday, July 8th. If you haven't started yet, you still have time, and if you're still working on that last achievement, hopefully this will give you the time you need to get it! Codemonkey has been hard at work trying to improve the Flash experience for you by reducing the lag that was being experienced. He's also put a couple fixes into the Fluff Run game to try and fix a few bugs. You might even notice the police fluffs are a little more vindictive than they were before.

Be sure to keep stopping by each day to get your wing sticker (These WILL stop being granted after next Wednesday) and make sure your pet is well taken care of! To keep going, just stop by the event page here.
