#GaiaOnline Avitober Day 1: Candles Looks like I caused a little bit of a fire hazard- um, am I gonna be burnt to a crisp? This is what happens when you let your candles drippy drop all over the place. Anyone got any ice? #BeebzPlays

New Rare Event!

Be on the lookout for the newest rare event: the Plat Cat!

If you see this little guy flying around your screen, give them a pet (click) to collect your prize.

Plat Cat can be opened from the special tab of your inventory. Every Plat Cat contains a minimum of 1000 platinum. If you're extra lucky, you could find up to 10,000 platinum!

With the addition of the Plat Cat, we are officially retiring Pink Links. You will no longer be able to find them around the site but you can still open any existing ones in your inventory.

Monthly Pledge Update Update Starting in October our Monthly Pledge Updates will happen at the start of the month rather than the middle of the month. In order to make this shift happen, we will be skipping over September's update.

August Company Update: In-tents Adventures www.gaiaonline.com/forum/items-...
Greetings, Gaians!

It seems like summer days are drifting away. But there's still time to make the most of the season's magic with the Happy Campers event! (You can also access it from the explore tab!) If you haven't had a chance to check it out yet, be sure to get in on this in tents adventure before it ends at 11:59 PM PDT on August 31st! And if you've already made yourself at home in the Gaia wilderness, don't forget to post about your experience in the official feedback thread. Our goal is to gauge whether there is enough genuine interest in a Housing revamp to be worth developing the feature further, so we'd love to hear from you!

In the meantime, work on the overall redesign continues! Before moving onto other areas of the site, we'll be putting the finishing touches on additional changes to the new nav bar that we outlined in last month's update. We're especially excited for the new tab that you'll be able to customize with any gaiaonline.com links you want!

Also in the works is a rewards system for Avatar Superstar. The plan is to, well, reward those who rate a certain number of entries each day/week/month. We'll share more details with you as soon as we can and we'll give you a heads up when the rewards become available! Once that system is live, we'll also set up an official hangout thread where you can casually discuss the feature, the themes, the entries, etc. with one another.

That's all for now. Stay cool and we'll see you in September!

July Company Update: 💅 www.gaiaonline.com/forum/items-...
As you've probably noticed, we've got a new look! We've also done some menu re-organization. To give you a quick summary: there's now a dedicated marketplace tab, a newly added explore tab that combines what were previously Games and Worlds, and a tab that let's you change the nav bar color theme. Our goal was to make things more friendly to new and casual users. If it's not your cup of tea, you can switch back to the old look at any time by going to account settings. 

We've been reading through the feedback we've received so far, and based on what you've said, we put together a list of things we plan to adjust or add in the short term. For the nav bar itself, we'll be reducing its height a bit and increasing the font weight of the text. We'll also be adjusting the existing color themes to add more contrast, as well as adding a set of dark-mode-friendly color themes. Plus, a new customizable tab that will allow you to add any gaiaonline.com link! In terms of notifications, since many of you mentioned missing the bubble, as well as having requests and notices separate, we're working on a solution that will hopefully provide a nice middle ground between the old and new! Overall, the new nav bar and the the planned adjustments to it are just a first step, we're working toward a redesign of all pages and features on the site. But it's a gargantuan task, so we'll be tackling it piece by piece over time.

Tired of hearing about our makeover? There are a few other fun things on the horizon that we want to mention before we sign off. The first is a new dress-up contest that is currently in SCAS testing. It combines elements of Runway and Arenas and we hope everyone will enjoy it! We're also working on a new Event that we camp wait to share with you! (: And next month you can look forward to our annual extravaganza of new avatar styles, bundles, special sightings, Prismas, and more! So, stick around to see what we have in store! Until next time... <3

Inventory re-sort update In response to the recent database problems, we re-worked how item sorting is handled. Instead of trying to update a whole inventory which could be 150k+ items, we now split updates into smaller chunks to prevent large updates from slowing down the whole system.

June Company Update: Sunny Days Ahead
Greetings, Gaians!

With summer on its way, the weather's been super sunny. And our outlook has been too! Because after months of seemingly endless struggles, things have been much more stable lately. *looks around and waits for a piano to fall on our heads* Phew. The migration is now officially complete! And Lanzer is also allowed to sleep again! So, we hope you'll join us in celebrating those victories. We are, of course, aware that there are still some remaining issues and interruptions, but Lanzer is working through them, constantly monitoring and adjusting the web server configurations to reduce their frequency. Thank you again for you patience as we put the finishing touches on what has been an excruciatingly long and difficult process for everyone!

As we continue to look toward the future, our first major change has been one that was actually years in the making. And that's the official transition from gold to platinum. For those of you who had already switched to platinum, this won't have made much of a difference in your use of the site. But if you previously had your account set to gold, we understand and appreciate that for you there will be an adjustment period. We also wanted to use this opportunity to remind everyone that no currency was lost in the changeover. 1 platinum is equal to 10,000,000 (ten million) gold. It is simply an exchange rate; nothing was taken away and both currencies have the same buying power. And now that we're all using the same currency again, Lanzer should be able to get a clearer picture of what payouts look like from all features and better balance them across the site.

Meanwhile, work continues on both the site re-design and, what we hope will be, some exciting new features! Thanks again for sticking with us through everything. We can't wait to move forward together!

 Platinum switchover and platinum earning changes

We needed a bit more rebalancing changes so the switch over will be happening at 6PM, PST today instead.

Along with the switch over, the recent earning bonus will also come to an end. The new earning potential will be at a 1.3x earning from April 2026, instead of the 2.2x bonus for last month.

There will be more balancing changes coming this week, after we monitor platinum payout for the next two days. In particular, flash games, tournaments, and older features like Aquarium will be seeing a boost.

Gaia Transitioning from Gold to Platinum Next Week

The long awaited Platinum transition is finally upon us. With the new designs under way, we will be focusing on a one currency system moving forward. What this means is that everyone's currency setting will be permanently set as "Platinum" moving forward.

The transition will take place a week from now, on Monday, June 8th. Better payout for Gaia flash games will also happen at that time, and we will continue to re-balance payout for all Gaia activities moving forward.

Addressing Concerns There had been some questions and concerns recently about Gaia's stance on the use of generative AI and cryptocurrency, as well as how Gaia funds are being used. I hope the following will clear things up and offer some reassurance! www.gaiaonline.com/forum/gaia-c... 1/? 🧵
Addressing Concerns

There had been some questions and concerns recently about Gaia's stance on the use of generative AI and cryptocurrency, as well as how Gaia funds are being used. I hope the following will clear things up and offer some reassurance!

Gaia's stance on AI

The majority of Gaia's team members are artists and it'll continue this way. Gaia have not used any generative AI for creating items, artwork, or any creative writing around the site and have no plans for this to change. Gaia is also not utilizing another generative AI in the form of AI chatbots. We understood that Gaians do not want to interface with AI, and we will not be building any features with AI chatbots or AI NPC.

While we don't use generative AI, Gaia do find what we can leverage from AI as a tool to enable the engineering team to amplify our work and allow us to fix more bugs while building more features at the same time. Without AI's help, the Gaia infrastructure upgrade project could not be completed without us hiring a senior IT manager which we couldn't afford.

Site outages and Downtime

This led us to the entire Gaia infrastructure upgrade project.  We bit the bullet and not only upgraded the servers but also set up proper infrastructure to report potential issues, and make sure that new code will not break the system. We leveraged AI which helped prevent many issues that we introduced when trying to do things by hand last year, but trying to built too much in so little time ultimately caused too much instability. I literally said that "the dust had settled" but I still had one major database job to do, and of course, life loves irony, and that last task triggered a major issue which caused the recent rollback.

The new system will ultimately make Gaia more stable, and with the new backend our art team can proceed with the site redesign project. But I must apologize for the constant issues we caused you over the past few months.

What is Pixlet?

Marvin had been the project lead…
