TAG! You're it!

After many months of keeping this project a big secret, it was a big relief to be able to reveal TAG! Gacha to everyone at the start of this month. And before we knew it - the event is nearly upon us and the Gacha Keys are coming in at a steady rate.

Gachatopians spoke... and we listened. All our beloved events had a major flaw in common - and that was having a server capacity that was way below the demand of the consumers. (i.e: the dreaded message: TP cannot be completed because region is full) This is of course not the fault of the organisers but the limitation of the platform that is Second Life. In addition, lag for these crowded events was usually brutal. Again... related to the huge performance demands on a server that was heaving with avatars and lots of goodies to be bought.

For TAG! Gacha we tried to circumvent this problem by spreading the server load and what better way to do this than to bring customers back to the main stores of creators. From Booger's giant nose to Olive's giant um... Olive... From surreal landscapes to fantastical ones... From humble little rabbit holes to spectacular architectural achievements... when you are hopping from store to store and discovering new ones, you'll be wondering why you never visited earlier.

Halloween is our favourite time of year and from what we can see, TAG! Gacha creators seem to think so too! The quality of products on offer is simply outstanding. We have new up and coming brands amongst established and beloved names. 

Playing TAG! Gacha is easy. Visit HOW TO PLAY for more information.

Keep an eye on our TAG! Gacha Flickr feed where you can look at pictures specific to TAG! Gacha. If you have gacha photos to submit, please do so in our Gachatopia flickr group. 

TAG! Gacha tip: If the region you are trying to get into is full, you can skip it on the HUD and visit it again later.

We hope you will enjoy the event and good luck with the machines! Happy and safe trading everyone :)

Regards,

The Templars

Happy Birthday Gachatopia!

Gachatopia opened one year ago this month. I will never forget the day we opened and people poured in looking around wondering what the heck this place was going to be. It was hard to explain because it was just an idea. A place for all things gacha, is all we could really say. There was no one renting and no one in the group but gacha fans flooded over the sim and most of them never left. Many of the original members of the community have become good friends and we are proud to say that one year later, that community has grown to one of the largest, most active gacha communities in Second Life.

Gachatopia celebrates this month with some great gifts and two amazing Gacha Shows. Saturday the 2nd at 2pm slt we have the colorful Katat0nik here for an interview. She has made everyone this little fox plushie you see in these images. Everyone who attends will get one. Speaking of Gacha Show gifts, we are releasing some past gifts out into the Gachatopia community via free raffles over the course of the month to celebrate. If you missed a past show, join the Gachatopia chat group, you may just get lucky and win!

Another important and loved part of Gachatopia are the creators who have supported us and joined in the fun here over the past year. We are always humbled when they take the time out to participate in our crazy ideas. The Gacha Show is just the beginning. We have something planned for fall that involves 50 of the best creators in Second Life called TAG! Gacha we think you will all love. One of those creators Jaimy Hancroft of DRD has made us a special gift for our first anniversary. The gacha machine backpack you see in these photos can be found in the notices of the Gachatopia chat group for the rest of the month.

Happy Birthday Gachatopians! Thank you for an amazing year!
