Skins Update

Okay, so I'm not entirely sure what is happening with the skins. Though, there is this little scrap of info.

Previously, we assumed the permanent event skins were going to be sold in the Cash Shop. But, apparently a Gaian threatened to do something to the Cash Shop, and so they haven't been released.

I have no idea what-so-ever about the threat that was made.

[The next day]

Okay, so now Gaia have decided to release them in Skin Tyte. Yay! But on Monday.

It's a little late, you'd think they'd release them a little earlier to let people use them more during the event.

But, oh well. At least whatever problem there was is now sorted.

Domo?

Some of you may have noticed, some you may have not.
But the Domo icon is now unavailable for use.

I heard somewhere it is due to a legal case of some kind.

Rest In Peace, Domo.

You will be sorely missed.

Note: It appears that at this time, whilst the Domo icon is gone from the list of emoticons, in the forums you may simply type in ":domo:" and he will be available for use. However, this does not extend to guild forums. Thank you to Koka for informing me :D.

Item leak(?) and Cash Shop event skins

It appears that DJ Helsing has an item equipped, that well... hasn't been released yet.
It looks like a backwards Mischeif Makers sign.
Could this be a possible Olympic Event item? Could it be exclusive to DJ Helsing? Who knows. But it aint released yet, and he has it. DJ Helsing's profile can be found here.

In other news, it appears that the very-soon-to-be-released event skins, are going to be for sale in the Cash Shop. And they're permanent.
So there's no earning skins this event, it's either fork over real money, or save up your gold. And you can't change back.
They should be arriving in the Cash Shop soon.

Nothing. At all.

So right now, in the lead up to the Rejected Olympics, nothing has happened.

Yes, I'm still searching around for things to report on. But so far nothing has come up. We're all just waiting to see what allies the Isle de Gambino and Aekea get.

Oh. There is a little problem, not sure if I've mentioned it. People can clone themselves in towns. And they can make themselves look like mods/devs/admin. It's kinda old, but thats about it.

Anyway, just thought I should post to show I'm not killing this project off xD.

Event Skins!

With the release of the new Manga plot update, we've seen the introduction of the Dark Elves.

In Ask the Admin today, Lanzer was asked whether we'll be getting a Dark Elf skin, and his reply:

"Not at the immediate moment, but there are fantasy related skins in the upcoming event."
I guess it's fairly safe to assume each Rejected Olympics team will be getting a skin each? I'm not sure.

But hey, we get skins!

Monthly Collectible Ad

Recently the front page hint for the July Monthly Collectibles was taken down.
It was up for a short period of time, half a day at the most.

Here's a short summary:
- two Gaian's standing together
- A light shines down on one, who looks excited, before a fist crushes him from the sky.
- The text "Get fisted" appears.
- Then the text "Gaia's first hand-me-down item - July 15th" appears.

It was most likely taken down in response to the overwhelming number of threads throughout Gaia giggling at the possible sexual connotations (myself included xD).
So now, we don't have a hint.

There should be a new one coming out soon.

The major source for this article was me.

Padmavati's Lotus - Possible reference?

At this point in time, a possible reference for the item designers of Padmavati's Lotus has been found.

It is an old story, which basically points towards... babies. Yes thats right. We could be getting babies on Gaia. The key word there being "could".
This is all speculation, and is barely news-worthy (I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel for stories today xD). But it's kinda interesting for those who have the item or care.

Anyway, here is a link to the story. You can read it for yourself if you wish.
