Game Overview
Gaia Online is an anime themed social networking and forums-based website. Gaia originally began as an anime linklist and eventually got itself a small community but after a statement by founder Derek Liu, the website moved towards social gaming. It eventually became the forum based website it is now.
Users of the Gaia, known as Gaians, create a customizable avatar and a customizable virtual home for which they can purchase items using gaia gold. Gaia gold is given to the users after engaging in the website activities, such as playing a series of Flash games or regular posting inside the forums. The site also rewards users every day with random quantities of gold and items with its Daily Chance feature. Gaia has a currency called Gaia Cash which can be purchased at Rite Aid, Wal-Mart or Target stores.
Guilds
Gaians can form guilds, which are basically clubs specially devoted to certain topics such as hangout guilds, role playing guilds and guilds for particular anime. Most gulds are free however a few do require payment to join.
Gaians may create a guild with a small amount of Gaian gold. Many features can be added such as additional forums. Guilds also are controlled by the guild crew who have the power to moderate any thread in the guild.
Avatars
Gaia Online members receive an avatar when they sign up. Avatar may be customised in many ways, including skin tone, eye style and color,
hair style and color, gender and attire. Numerous avatar items, accessories and items of clothing can be purchased, with gold or Gaia Cash. Avatars appear next to posts in the forums and profile comments. In Towns and several other environments, the avatar appears as a movable character that can travel from place to place while interacting with the environment and other Gaians.
Donation items/Monthly Collectibles
Monthly Collectibles, Donation Items are special items that can be purchased with real money. For every $2.50 USD a user gives to the site he or she receives an item called a Sealed Envelope in his or her inventory.
Each month, the Sealed Envelope disappears from the user's inventory and is replaced by a Thank You Letter for the current paid month. Users are then able to open the letters and choose one of two or three limited edition items. Monthly Collectible items and the "Thank You" Letter items they are found in are specific to the month that they were released in: for example, the items found in the "Thank You" Letter for April 2006 can only be found in that letter, and one could only purchase that letter in April 2006.
Towns
Gaia Towns is a virtual world where Gaians avatars may move and interact with each other, collecting gold and small items along the way. Gaians homes can be found throughout Towns and one user can visit another's home. Homes can be designed by items obtained from the Furniture shop or the Marketplace. Gaians houses, trees, bugs, litter, and flowers mostly fill the towns. Gaians may use a virtual chat system while in the towns. The towns often host events such as snowball fights.
