Hmm.. I've never once been hacked. I mainly joined this to have another venue for my poetry. That and the avi's are just too cute. I have a life off of Gaia. I only get on if there's nothing else going on and i have nothing better to do. :lol: But I sitll like the people I've met. For the most part, they're very nice. But that may be because I've been on there for so long, I somehow managed to meet all the nice ones.

The whole thing about having to use Cash for almost anything good not though is driving me off and causing me to :headdesk:.

I just wish it were easier to earn gold on here though. :(

I really hope this place doesn't become like gaia. I am getting sick of how gaia is getting. They released a new store along with 2 others, but they are fine. This one there are 5 items total in it ranging from, and I am not kidding you on the price. 2.something to 6.8 if I am right million gold each. Yes, that is the correct prices. Millions of gold for an item in a regular store they just released. There are two items I like but will never get. Plus the former fish tank gold lottery changed, its a regular lottery now and you can get 12 tickets instead of the original 5. I won 3k so far and I played it about 10 or so times. But the thing is, each ticket costs you 100g each. Yes you have to pay for the tickets to play. But at least you can get about 3 same numbers and share in the winnings.

I personally don't do all that much on Gaia any more. About the only activity I have there these days is roaming around towns, and playing the occasional game of fishing to garner up more gold for myself, but I don't hang about the forums as much any more, or even take part @[email protected] Gaia's just become too commercialised for my liking.

The thing about making gold on this site, It is hard, but it keeps the economy in check. Think about it. Gaia's Economy was constantly over-saturated with gold, causing item prices to skyrocket in the Marketplace, so that by default, MCs are 30,000-100,000 gold before they even barely enter the site. The difficulty to earn gold keeps the prices low. Notice how Gaia is constantly having to set up "Gold Sink" events. It's to keep the economy from completely exploding because it's too easy to make gold.

Gaia doesn't bother me really, haven't seen many mean people who directed their comments at me, but that may be because I just stalk the Mini Shops forum and subscribe to shops I think I might want to order from or just to talk there. I joined in early '08 but I would have joined in 07 if I hadn't hesitated. >3<''' I do really get annoyed at the changes made lately though. I wonder if they are listening to anything the community says. I think it might become a pay-to-play kinda thing x[. I hate that it seems that there's been so many EI's and cash shop items that I can't keep up D: Also, the Dernier Cri shop I dislike :[ I rarely see anyone wearing it by using pure gold.

I think people need to have more faith in Menewsha. I keep seeing people going "OMG! I hope Menewsha doesn't become like Gaia!" But it's not now is it? You see the mods running around working hard. Do you really think that they'll let the site descend to the depths that Gaia has sunk to? I don't think so.

I am just obsessed with Gaia as I am with Mene.
But gaia is like a full outlet where people can say anything.
I am happy that with Mene people are nicer it seems, and more rules it seems, maybe I am wrong, but there are no cuss words or disrespectful talking here.
So I respect Mene more than Gaia, but Gaia has more games and it now has ZOMG! as a rpg which I am addicted to.

Popsickle: I don't think they listen anymore. They're just making changes without talking to any of the users, it seems. I don't think they're even making feedback forums anymore...

they have a feedback forum that's been around since 2003, I just don't think they pay attention to it. They *might* look at the petition forum, but anything they get out of there usually ends up as an MC or some other cash-shop based item :/

@ Flowery Pit - no, you don't get money out of racing in Rally unless you set up a bet with your opponent. But with so many botters, hackers and scammers these days I'd be hesitatnt to do anything of the sort (not that I race anyway. I did like 2 or 3 games the first day it was out, then never went in again until the prize wheels were put in there)

Oh, I think I meant to say thread. They're not making feedback threads for what they do anymore. Like with the navigation bar, they made a feedback thread. (and then ignored it)

I like gaia more.
I've been on it since 03.

Menewsha is a little too slow for me.
So I hope it speeds up a bit soon.

Also, people complaining about gaia, don't go on then.
And people saying menewsha will never be like gaia...just give it time. >D

I've been on Gaia since 03 as well. I never thought that there was a time when I'd flat out leave. There have been times where I lost interest, but I never left. The way they keep pushing lately, a time where I might leave is starting to come into focus.

Menewsha does get slow at times, but I appreciate the quality of the conversation over the empty quantity of posts on Gaia. Some people get off on bumping or screaming into the void, having their answers never read or replied to. I am just not that person.

Give Menewsha time and I think that they'll be able to continue the pitfalls that have pulled Gaia down. The pace of the site, the supposed difficulty of gold gathering, the rules, and plenty of other things seem to repel the sort of users that Gaia attracts. So I don't think we have to worry about trolls in the dungeon and the staff is obviously trying very hard not to make the same mistakes Gaia made. So I have faith in them.

My problem with Gaia is there's no community feeling. People will just go spam and post and even lurk to earn gold, and that's it, they're done. Plus, people are RUDE to each other there. I got scared of posting in Gaia's Site Feedback forum because people would tear each other apart, same with their Extended discussion. More people lurk than post, and they still end up with the same amount of gold as the posters do.

What I love about Menewsha, is yes, all the items are cheap, but in order to earn gold, you have to be involved with the community. I have yet to see anyone insult, degrade, or generally be rude to the other users. I love that family feel.

I find I post more on Menewsha than I do on Gaia. While I still love Gaia and don't want to ever quit, I think I found a new home here.

I'm Tiherina on Gaia, been a member since '04.

I'm not so crazy about it as I once was, especially since I found this site. But I still do love Gaia, and I don't think I'd have it in me to quit altogether.

I love the items on Gaia, but I hate how expensive it is, whether it's cash or gold. Not everyone can earn that much gold to get the items they want, and even if you make a quest thread, no one'll help you out. It's tough.

Another thing I really don't like about Gaia is how mean the people are there. I tried posting in Site feedback a couple of times, and I got torn to pieces. I already don't like confrontation in real life, and I don't like it online. My feelings were hurt, which is why I stopped posting and only lurk in most forums.

I'm also scared that one of these days I'm going to try logging in and end up banned for whatever reason. I feel like I have to really watch myself. Because lately it seems the admins will ban users for anything.

I must admit, I originally found out about this from Gaia. Everyone on Gaia seems so defensive :/ I still like being on there, but I seem to be liking it here just as much, though I am still new and getting used to things xD

I am NEVER going back to Gaia. I just checked my old profile. The last comment there was censored, but I have a very strong idea what that witch was calling me. It also makes me hesitant to publish my first literary work since one of the characters has my user name, and I'm a bit worried about being persecuted for my supposed misbehavior on Gaia. I know that's dumb, but...

I think I've made a few enemies on Gaia who don't really understand me or even want to. They acted like they'd rather think I'm a bad person.

I love Gaia. A friend introduced me several years back and I've been an active member for the last 2+ years. I'm still a newer member, but I have my on and off times. Still, I could never leave. I just love the place. It gives me time to relax and vent.

I also met my boyfriend there.
