Hi everyone. Fanime was great! I feel like crap though. Sorry I didn't post last night after I got back. The stupid DSL internet was being evil so I just starting typing in wordpad what I would post. And I kept dozing off when I was typing. sweatdrop So I went to bed.

The con was super fun!!!! I talked a ton with Lanzer, Ling, LOcke, VO, Saka, darknrgy, and others too. I even got to help them out with stuff too. 3nodding They borrowed my clipboards so that they could have people sign for a raffle. It was great. I was RIGHT THERE with them. Ghar, I feel all warm inside. whee I even got a hug from LOcke and thanks from the admins from helping. 3nodding Plus I got a free shirt too.

Oh, and I'll get pics scanned in soon. I'm waiting for my friend Daniel Brown to mail them to me so I can scan them. The whole admins team was dressed as their avatars! It was great. In the raffle two members won a red corsage IRL and on Gaia! biggrin

A lot of members knew me. This was a big shock. eek Some thought it was neat how I was the only one from Rumor Patrol who was there, but that doesn't seem very fair since a lot of users couldn't go to FanimeCon because it's here in Cali. You guys might be seeing a lot of new faces in here btw.

Anyway, here it is! biggrin


Beta version will be accomplished before the end of the year. The team is shooting for a September release.

Weapons and armor will be released with beta.

A storyline for Gaia has been created. It will describe the origin of Gaia.

Do not expect too many small items like rings and earrings because they are too difficult to make using pixels. LOcke said if they could make them they would only be like 1 row of pixels 4 pixels wide, and so they would be hard to see.

AniHQ has been renamed to Gaia Interactive. This has been due to how Gaia is a product of the whole administrative team and others, and AniHQ was only a trademark of Lanzer.

Yes, the banner many managed to get a peak at will be used on the new homepage, but it will be edited.

The next feature to be released is the guild forums. They're being made to increase the use of guilds on Gaia and to bring Gaia into more of a community. In these guild forums the founder will have administrative powers, including the ability to assign moderators, move/delete any threads/topics, etc. Also they will have a list of guild members. There's been ideas about guild treasures in which an event/rare/something would be given out to the members of the guild each week. It may cost gold to found a guild forum. Future features may use the guild forums.

Personal forums much like the guild forums will be released as a future feature. Members in your buddy list will be able to post there. It may cost gold to start your own personal forum.

Saka does all the main character and npc art, including the characters on the home page banners, the ones on the posters, and the ones that are NPC's in the shops. VO made the avatar bodies, and LOcke & VO make avatar items. Lanzer is very picky about the girl avatars. Ling helps with some images and does a lot of the administratie duties, including keeping an eye out for potential moderators. Oh, and Saka is a guy, not a girl.

Most of the funds spent on Gaia go towards bandwidth, servers, and server upgrades.

The idea for Gaia Online was thought of in a parking lot accross from 7-11 in October 2002.

Avatars and items are being remade so that avatars may hold things like items or weapons.

A lot of weapons have already been made and are being released with beta. There were some ideas on releasing weapons soon, but it was decided against (here I was very tired, i actually typed "ponder to have DJ Studio Deadphones,a Dand" confused ) because the administrators believe users wouldn't want to wait all the rest of the time to beta in order to use the weapons.

More towns will be opened to hold future features. By beta there will probably be around 5 to 7 towns. These features may include more avatar customization (like the beauty shop) and minigames.

A world map navigation system is being developed for easier navigation through the maps. Above Barton Town there will be a beach map. (I managed to squeeze this out of Locke by asking him if there was ocean between Barton and Gambino.)

A thread subscription feature is in the works. This will allow users to track certain threads.

Night maps were developed for Halloween of 2003 and may be used again during events in the future. They might possibly be used daily to add a day/night feel.

Rare events are completely random. Every web server has a randomized timer to release events. Every user has the same chance of getting one if they are online, though there is no way to insure that some users won't get less, or get none at all.

Cross browser compatibility will be done soon so that many browsers will be able to read Gaia Online the same. This does not include Macintoshes (that would be cross platform), though this may be fixed in the future.

Peyo's mother is Ruby. His father is unknown. Ling did say though that Ian likes to play with the ladies. whee For many users Ruby crashes when used to view Ian's store. The administrators have said that there are a lot of social problems between the NPC's and this is trying to be fixed through extensive group therapy.

Angelic/Nightmare back wings will not be released in the casino as prizes, but will actually be more difficult to obtain. To get them you will have to go on an advanced quest for certain items (probably non-equipable ones) and combine them together to make a pair of backwings.

The karma system is not in effect and has never been in effect. It was goign to be redone but was dropped due to threat of wrong use, like bribing others to vote you as good. New features will instead be used to estimate karma.

The exp +1 error is actually an experience system of codes that will be used in gaming. The experience system is not in effect and right now is only a placeholder.

Many more items will be made for both genders, along with a lot fo the older items as well. These may include the ties, Romani glasses, hand wraps, and many others (including dresses...?). The nitemare bustier and angelic camisole might be made transgender.

Types and classes will be a feature on Gaia so that there will be mulitple ways to attack enemies.

The casino will be opened before beta, not with it. It will be finished by beta.

When asked about character homes VO said he didn't want to say anything about it. eek (This could be a big rumor to squish.)
