Here I am again reporting on the important and stupid questions that were asked last night. It boggles my mind at some of the questions that people ask!! Anyway here it is!!
Lanzer- Admin Lead
Just to give you an idea of what happens when they go into towns!!
Q: The mob killed towns. D:
A: Yeah there were 160 people in the map... Hope the server will come back up soon
Sorry, was busy finishing work today. How are everyone?
Q1: . What's your favorite Sushi?
Q2: Zhivago pictures? Oh god, please. ;--;
Q3. MARRY ME? (PLATINUM LYON: You have NO idea how many times this stupid question is asked!)
Q4. What kind of music do you like? Favorite artist?
Q5. What's your favorite item on Gaia?
A1: Hamachi! (yellow tail tuna)
A2:Zhivago? Let me ask.
A3: (PLATINUM LYON: Ignored as would be expected!)
A4: I like alternative rock, like Nickelback
A5:Favorite item? Kill Lanzer set
Q: What inspired you to create Gaia?
A: Anime, videogames, manga, and my great artist friends!
Q1: Lanzer, will Jack ((Halloween King)) be giving out more pants this Halloween or something even cooler, along with the pants?
Q2: Also, to all the team, have you seen the Transformers movie yet and what did you think of it?
A1: There will be more Jack items, but we still have to find out if he is going to be in this year's event...
A2: Transformers? It's great! Though I miss Soundwave....
Q1: Any more stuff you can tell us about MMVII?
Q2: What do you think will happen to Gaia in the future, I mean after you leave the team/die...?
A1: Not answered
A2: There are more than 70 of us working on Gaia, so if I am not around, I am sure everyone will continue to work on features that are most requested from all our users. But hopefully I don't get run over by a truck or something.
Q: But anyway, does the staff get offended / annoyed by Gaia "copy-cat" sites?
A: We think there can certainly be a lot of great virtual world/hang out on the internet. Much like videogames, I think that there are rooms for many great sites, so we're definitely not offended by any of them. Always love to see others bringing creativity to the masses
Q1: Lanzer, what do you think of Guild Wars? Also also also, wanna sell me a ninja band for 140k? biggrin ;
Q2: Okay, serious question, is there ever going to be an item update that has fantasy clothes? Like, a priest outfit, knight’s armor, like the people in the old Gaia banner? D:
A1: Ignored
A2: Yeah we will release fantasy items soon. We hold back because of battle system but now that we decided the game is not clothing item dependent, we will probably start releasing them.
Q: It's clear that you support the use of image maps in sigs; if you didn't there wouldn't be an ImgMap button in the post interface. However, even though all five destination URLs in my own sig are in Gaia Online, clicking them results in the "This site is not part of Gaia Online" frame because the imap.map file is offsite.
Is it possible to upgrade that frame so that it can detect when the third-party site redirects back to Gaia Online, and remove itself if that happens? Or is there too much potential for scammers to find a loophole in that?
A: Exactly, the re-direct header was made strictly because of security concerns, and people making Gaia-like login pages to fish for passwords... So they'll always be there
Q: Will there ever be a Gaia poetry contest?
A: Something like a poem/writing arena? That's a great idea! The next arena update should have that.
Q: Will we be getting new skins this year?
A: More options for base avatar are coming! We've been too busy working on features, and need to spend more time on the basics...
Q: Will we ever get odd colored skins? (Pure white, blue, pink...)
A: We're deciding if that should be base colors or tattoo options...
Q: How are you able to mash up your everyday life with Gaia?
A: Gaia is my life (eat, work on Gaia, sleep, repeat...) Now days, however, on weekends I do spend time working on other stuff or hobbies
Q: Ok, the person who posted the questions that Lanzer answered also posted 20 or 30 others. I am only going to post the answers since they are self explanatory. – PL
A: By working on sponsorships, we can earn more money and expand our developer workforce by 50%. We think it's a reasonable trade-off.
Nope, I have not been to Calgary, though I lived in Vancouver, Canada for 11 years.
Lanzer was just a name I chose.
Gaia evolves with user activities, much like the Internet itself. Our goal is to make sure that it is fun and entertaining. I do not think RP aspects are gone, though I do see a lot of users doing other activities.
Lastly, we are putting a lot of thought into enhancing the forums so it's easier to find great posts. Stay tuned for more details!
Q: So lanzer, what do you think about trolls?
A: It's sad that there are trolls around the forums, though we spend more time figuring ways to improve the forums than in grief.
Overall, I think that Gaia users are the most passionate people I know. If anyone is unhappy, that just mean we need to check on our direction and raise the quality of our work. I have the confidence to make most people happy.
Q: is there going to be an update or two put aside to make previous items unisex, maid dresses in particular?
A: Unisex is a high priority project, we're definitely working on it.
And as always, if you want to read all 37 pages yourself, knock yourself out!! : Ask the Admin 7/27/07
