SPARKLES

[Dusty Golightly]

First, there's an announcement from Gaia Admin named "Sparkles" which shows a cartoon with the characters sparkling and it seems aliens have arrived.

Second, some items in our inventories are sparkling, some are not. Everything in my aquarium inventory is sparkling. So I was wondering... is Gaia planning on abducting those sparkling items? LOL!

No... the answer is posted in a "New Features" post by Gaia:
"Twinkle twinkle little…inventory? As you have probably noticed, we have released new animated overlays to help you identify Premium Items in your inventory, the marketplace, and trades! Now you should be able to easily identify all the Gaia cash items you own or want to own quickly and easily. As well, each premium item type (CI, EI, Monthly Collectible) has its own color sparkle which further makes identifying specific items a breeze. And the animations are small, so this shouldn’t cause page loading lag!"

You don't mean...?
Yes, I'm afraid so. It's the Gaia Nerfers!

Yep... that's why some of us were concerned about our items. You just never know what Aliens will do! 4laugh

Purtie, your tank was glowing so I bumped and grabbed from it. Thanks!

I was wondering what was going on... But I love the sparkles too much to ask too many questions--they might go away! xd
