Hai.
Everyone here knows this is a knock off of gaia online, right? XD

It's not a knock off. Sites like Ernya and Solia and Menewsha and Gaia all are community sites. Gaia was not the first, just one of the biggest and well known, possibly due to the fact it is now a company like... thing.
There are quite a few differences.

Hello and welcome to Mene <3
Although there are slight similarities between Gaia and Mene there are major differences such as the gold system, here you need to actually do something to earn it rather than doing nothing like on Gaia. I hope you enjoy your time here, tootles!
