I was wondering what your avatar theme was! I thought you got beat up by the chicken you had pinned under your arm.

No Suzanne it wasn't one of your chickens, honest.


Hey Alex, that chicken was mean! Look at the way it was eyeballing the rat!


_Mem_ uses all the bits of the animal, sound environmental practice, right there! As long as "animal" doesn't include humans.

Oooh....double gold earning posts!

Actually I've never posted just for the sole purpose of earning gold, when I have a lot to say my posts get long and I earn a fair chunk anyway

Alexander J Luthor: Now that you're more used to our avatars, and have seen a lot of the layering capabilities even if you've not yet got to try them all yourself. How do they compare to Gaia's avatar system?

I'm interested in genuine feedback here, not just you being nice. Some please give a no holds barred comparison of the two.

Thank you for the reminder about double-gold earning.
I'm sure we'll see a lot more posting for the next few hours.

Considering the current scandals going on with their new items, I quite like these. I've got a shopping list full of items that I've bought specifically for layering. Though it's not ideal, it is to the standard that Gaia reached during their first changing of hands which, I think, was in 07' or 08'.

It is a little frustrating to have to write down the color codes for my hair, but it's fantastic to know that I can change my entire base without having to pay for it. Gaia literally has a shop for everything, whereas Mene just has a bunch of item shops, and I prefer it this way, honestly. That may be my rage talking, though. I've been on a quest to get every skin dye Gaia has, and all I have are red, orange, yellow, and green. I still need blue, purple, pink, grey, black, white, and the striped one. I'd have to sell almost my entire inventory just to buy the inks, and each skin costs 50k to make. How ridiculous is that? I mean look at this:



I literally just copied this from the market. You need 500 of one color to make the skin, plus 50k. If you don't buy the ink, it costs 5 blue, 5 red, and 5 green to make 1 white.

They have so many status items that there's not much work done elsewhere. A good example is I just clicked through the five announcements that have been added since I logged in this morning and, having bothered to look at them, two were pushing out recolors. (the rest were cash shop advertizements) Here you guys release items in multiple colors. Gaia is using that to stay afloat right now. And for a professional team some of the designs are really bad. I can't think of many examples because I can't afford any of the new items rolling out, so I forget them quickly.

What I can honestly say is that they're so concerned with meeting some sort of "quota" that more than a few items end up glitchy. Here in Mene I have yet to run into any bad ones, though I do have some trouble recognizing a few items until I try them on due to the anti-lapse layering design you guys have gone with. lol, the holes in some of the capes. That confused me so bad when I first joined this site.

Holes in the capes? You mean the avatar shaped hole in things?

Because our avies are static.

Can I confess to getting mildly affronted by your feedback. Because I'd completely forgotten that Gaia's avies can turn around and sit down and all that xD Oh god, I remember when they first could turn around, everyone was so OMG!!!111!! about it xD It would be awsome if ours were mobile, but unless someone had coded them with that ability from the get go, it wasn't going to be happening on here. The amount of work that would entail just doesn't bear thinking about ><

Not least because pixeling backs for all the items has far greater logistical problems than just the years it would take to accomplish it, lol. So many of our items were made by people who are no longer on the site it would be close to impossible, because each person's pixel style is completely different.

Also, a lot of the older items are pretty crap, to be frank, so they're require remaking entirely. And what about old contribution items...

Hmm, how do those work on Gaia, what does the halo look like on someone with their back turned I wonder...

If only I could win a million, I'd beat Inso around the head with it until he found someone to code for us.

I suppose I'm not bothered by that because the sit/stand feature only affects me in zOMG. Hng, if this site had zOMG I'd be pouring all the mennies into it to keep it bug free.

The halos and such do flip ever so slightly. After designing my own pixels to sell as siggie art I became acutely aware of the changes when the avatar moves a pose. They still have a problem with centering, though. The rage of gaians was strong when they pointed out how they were paying real top dollars for items that were half drawn, then copied, reversed and pushed together. The buttons on a shirt go down the center of one's chest, not down the boob closest to the viewer.

Oh god, now you're reminded me of the humping action in towns xDD

Meh, they've always had artists of varying levels of skill though. Went through a phase in...must have been 2006 I suppose, when the quality of MCs was really shit for several months. Was not long after that cute little chibi dragon one came out. I've forgotten him name I always thought he was well drawn though, but he was followed by a bunch of pretty substandard stuff
: /
It wasn't long after then that I stopped donating.

You'll get a response some two years down the road when you stop caring about whether you are gonna get a response or not. By then they MIGHT have time to deal with it.....if they care. Unless your me....then they will just put more effort into finding a reason to ban you and all your friends rather then solving the problem.

So many banhammers on that site. Last time I was chilling in the site feedback section a guy got perma-banned because he didn't put an end date on an item giveaway contest.

well lets see i joined Gaia.. thought ti was jsut awesome.. but that was back at the begining of its birth when they gave auhh.. 'searches for non offensive word' oh forget it when they cared. heck i pop in once every month and a tleast a hundred and ten of the annoucments are for 'items' in the gold store. they've YET to release any new gold items. and the items they do release are now so expensive you have to buy gaia cash just to get them. their events are stupid. i eman who's going to GIVE UP items they worked hard for for that stupid christmas one? well that's when they BOTHER to ahve them. mene LETS US KNOW themselves whats going on. that's why i love it here.. literally when i found mene i stopped visiting Gaia.. and hey 'glowers' i love mene's avi's don't you go making them like gaias I'll be ticked. you guys have AWESOME items. NOT just the monthlies being awesome but ALL of it. you TALK to us. try and explain stuff and as i saw Jelly have to do patiently explain th ings six or seven times to stubborn Menewashan's. you also give us GOOD items when your able. is why most of my money goes into mene when im able to donate to things >_< stupid bills. if i didn't have those it'd ALL be going into mene 'snicker'.

And i love mene's Layering abilitys more then gaia's. heck more then most sites and i have been on at least half a dozen..
