Welcome to Gaia! ::

I've never partaked in fishing myself but sounds like a good proposal to me. 3nodding

I'm not even sure if ATS is today or tomorrow. One guy said it'd be "back to regular Tuesdays" but simultaneously listed the next one as occuring on the 9th. rolleyes

At any rate... my prepared response:

Fishing

As offered last ATS, I created a survey on the subject of potential Fishing updates that staff might consider implementing in the future. The survey was to gauge Gaian's general interest and/or concerns they might have, especially regarding adding a higher tier bait available for purchase with GC. Please see the results below:

Aekea River Expansion Survey
The survery received 172 responses overall over the course of a week.

In particular I want to highlight that there was some concern about adding a paid element to Fishing, however the majority felt it reasonable in light of Gaia's current funding issues. For the most part the survey revealed updates/additional features would cause more Gaians who may not fish much currently to take part in the game a lot more. Many current fishers responded to me directly that their concerns were focused primarily on getting the game more reliably operational before considering future updates. Dialogue also took place at the following thread, should the staff like to view it as well:

Aekea River Expansion, Nitemare Rod, Master Bait, and More!

After collecting all the data it became clear to me that additional surveys detailing each question would probably be helpful as well. If any other constituents have more to add/share, please feel free! smile

Well I happen to be on fifteen minutes before the next one so I guess I'll d**k around and wait. xd

Some quick edits...
