Ohhhh I've never once stumbled into RP land, so I suppose that's why our Gaia lives never crossed

My username also changed like 20 different times over the course of the years, so even if we HAD crossed paths you probably wouldn't have recognized me. But I don't think so. Art shops was another haunt of mine hahah. I have so much art.

LOL That's fair, my username has always been R a n d e h everywhere I go, if the website doesn't allow spaces, it's Randeh LOL

Ohhhh Art was also my weakness. And I used to design profiles, so I've be in there a bit too! So much art, so many hours spent sourcing all the best artists. Ah to be young and online!

I find my need to have art of my Avatars at the time though. Half the time I didn't even like my Avatars

LOL! That makes it funnier. I rarely ever changed my avatar there so all my avatar art is roughly the same lol.

Not like on Mene

Have you guys watched the video The Rise and Fall of Gaia Online? It's quite interesting! LOL

Thank you! I was just missing the NPCs! <3
No i haven't, but that looks interesting. Will definitely check it out. Might help me in understanding what happened lol.

Thinking of making some popcorn and hunkering down with my blanket and a good movie or tv show. Either finish up watching Walking Dead on Netflix or East New York on Paramount+

Yes definitely has been money hungry for years. Surprised it stood the test of time.
Ohh Sorry to hear, hope you get better soon!

I almost got the halo, but i wouldn't part with my bunny slippers. Should have now, they're worth squat :(

And I was heavily on Gaia from 03' until I came here and then I just played moderately over there lol It's hard for me to get back into Gaia because I was strictly an exchange user. I spent all my time in there. So now with the inflation and the 80+ billion items it's impossible to get back into it with the time I have at my disposal. I think that's why I always preferred, I spent my days in the AC and just loved making avatars with the beautiful items. You can do that and have walls of text to make real relationships!

I started in 04. But quite quickly caught up. I had a charity over there too called Cherish. When i found Mene in 08 i gave up on Gaia. Barely went back there. It was just too many people too many fast changes. And junk items.

Exchanging was life for me in the avatar worlds lol.

I still have that little pet avatar on lol. I checked my inventory and i have tons of awesome old items, bunny, chicky slippers, Panda hat, portable head phones, sash etc. But all of these aren't worth sh*t now. So sad
And the currency has changed it's confusing lol.

I feel like anyone who loved avatar making and found Mene, never went back to Gaia full time. The items here are just way better/nice etc.

It breaks my heart that all our 03' items are worth nothing I went back once thinking I'd sell them off for art but it wouldn't get me much LOL So I keep all my items and just let them collect dust LOL BUT recently on here thanks to Ruby and others I've been learning a few little tricks and tips for Gaia, I started going back just to play their Lake Kindred game, it's full of cute little animals to collect haha.

I dunno the currency is weird lol.
But i think it was in the millions when i looked last.


@Randeh - Yep that's pretty much it. I loved the more relaxed pace. I felt like i was on meth over there hahahaha.
Yeah i think my stuff will also just gather dust till the site dies lol.
I was just thinking though the amount of money i spent on avatar sites. I would be so debt free, and have a house now lol.

LOL I never looked at it that way, but you're right, it was like being on meth over there. HAHAHAHA Or at least speed!

Hahaha, we've all done it, but I wouldn't change it, I love all the memories! I'd do it all over again!

I need to spend sometime getting reacquainted with Gaia.

I have tried more then a few times to get reacquainted but its all too much and I end up being very like.......nope.

That is fair, those were super cool! They have a lot of neat little features over there, it's just hard to know how it all works LOL Kind of like a video game that is too large to explore it all!

I forgot about the Evolve items. I wonder why they stopped doing those. I'm guessing it was too much work.

My thoughts exactly!

Hello all. I so don't want to go to work today.

Now it seems to be all about the random draw items, which I really hate. I want to know what I'm purchasing.

I found a bunch of items like that i bought years ago, and i started opening them. And so much crap coming out of them lol.


I wonder if Trisphee is still going?

I wish I had a job that let me work from home.
