Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hello, CG3! As many of you know [if not all of you], Lanzer, and a few Gaia Staff that appear ever-so-often, holds an "annual event" called, "Ask the Admin" - ATA for short. Well, I've decided that I'm going to have this thread posted in different sections of CG3. That way users will have a chance to ask me questions concerning CG3, and even Gaia. Although i can't always promise answers. I've got many other things to do on Gaia. But you can post questions and hope to get 'em answered.

There is a possibility that other CG3 Staff/Members will answer your question(s).

This thread will only be open for a short while. After that, this Forum will be closed. But this will only be temporary. I'll open this Forum once a month to have ATA sessions. This may change in the future. I may begin leaving it open to the public at all times.

Now, let's ask those questions!

Glad to do it! :]

As for the Guild Announcement's gold cost: It depends on how many users are in the guild.

e.g.: CG3 has 70 users. The current gold cost for me to send a Guild Announcement is 86gg. But I also own another guild; Gaians Against Dolphin Mania Shutdown. This guild has 771 users. The current cost for sending a Guild Announcement from GADMS is 520gg.

See what I mean? It depends solely upon how many users are in the guild. :]

To purchase a new Sub-Forum, it costs 2,500gg.

At the moment, no. Guild Announcements and purchasing new Sub-Forums are the only things that currently deduct gold from the Guild Account/Treasury. However, I'm in hopes that in the future Gaia will create a way to have a guild mule account be purchased along with the guild itself. But create it so that the Captain, along with any other users placed on a list of people that have access to the guild's mule account, are the only ones that can access it. Somehow have a designated log-in for that account, however. And the Captain be the only one that has access to changing the list. And create it so that the mule [that was purchased with the guild] can use the Guild Account/Treasury to buy items for contests. Along with having access to the Guild Account/Treasury for giving gold as prizes. They could even add more expenses for buying the guild [e.g.: 25,000gg]. Just an example. But these are high hopes. It'd take a whole lot of updating to Gaia guilds. Possibly even changing the entire system. Something that is [most likely] never going to happen. But it's worth hoping.

I apologize for the long answer that turned into my hopes for the guild updates in the future. xD
