So much happened in the past few weeks it felt like a blur
eek Fanime was a ton of fun, our booth was way bigger than I imagined. Though it'll probably be one of the smaller ones at AX and Otakon.
smile I was kind of bummed out that we can't hand out Nerf guns for the panel because of convention rules, but I'm so glad that many users got themselves armed with Nerf guns this time.
biggrin Marketplace re-write is looking really great. New searching functionalities and more sorting features will make shopping easier, while a lot of server side changes will make things more safe and secure. We're aiming to have zero lost items or gold in the new system.
There's also been a lot of discussion on what we can do to lower inflation on Gaia. We're talking to economics students and professionals for advice, in hopes that monthly collections can still be reasonably affordable.
We've been making a lot of progress on Gaia's site re-design lately. The new changes are way better for navigation and are much closer to what Gaia was like since day one. This time we'll definitely post for comments before pushing any changes out.
Just found out that Gaia was mentioned on Clickable Culture as a site that has a very user-friendly TOS agreement. It brings a lot of joy to me as I remember all the time and edits we went through to ensure that we have a fair TOS that protects all Gaians more so than protecting our own rights. In most cases, we don't expect anyone to really know that we're doing all these things in the background. It's nice to know every once in a while that people do notice. ^^
