New, and naked apparently. Guess what? Your ad in tektek works. Other that, nothing particular to say before I attempt to get some form of clothing.

Edit: Forgot to ask, but how important is real life money here? I noticed lately how Gaia has donation items and cash shop, and it's almost impossible to make a dream avatar without including something that costs real money.

Hello Alex, welcome to Menewsha!

Good luck earning gold, the Newbie Gold Earning Guide is a good read along with the other stickies if you haven't seen them already. ^^

There are monthly donation items on Mene but I think there are plenty of items in the stores to buy and event items that can be earned during events to keep everyone happy. They're all pixelled to the same high quality too! If Mene ever were to get a 'cash' shop the staff would make sure it didn't damage the site.

I successfully got clothes, hooray. Unfortunately, I may have trouble with getting money. Paranoid about my art lately seeing as most of its considered mature, and I'm a natural lurker. Conveniently for me though, my husband likes to roleplay. Wewt.

Congrats on your first item. ^^

Good luck with the gold earning, the art and roleplaying communities on Mene are really active and friendly.
