Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

I have been wrongfully called a TROLL by a mod and threatened with a ban for going in the Site Feedback section asking for more mods to do their job against RACISM and Homophobia, and everything else in certain forum sections... and because I cared too much I get a ban threat... I QUIT! I give it all up!

A member since 2007 gets treated like this, a member who WAS a Wing Supporter! GOOD BYE - GAIA you will NEVER see another dime!

Sometimes I feel depressed when I come to Gaia, I guess I want better for this site that's all... Anyway I found myself becoming, more and more bitter. I've had to take time to re examine myself so to speak. I won't act like I'm cured or that I'm happy now, I'm still sad, I still feel lonely, but I think I'll be alright. Perhaps I will take that hiatus... I don't know for how long, but I do need to find the time to just seek God and I know I'll be a better person for it.

I have always tried to be kind and polite here, but I must admit here lately I've been more and more snappy, and well I hate that. I feel as a Christian I need to be better, in fact I want to be better. There's no excuse, but I am only human all I can say is sorry, all I can do is try harder the next time. I know because I'm only human slipping up well and goofing up will more than likely happen often even though I don't want it to, thank God for His Son Jesus. Because of the mercy of God I can go on knowing He cares, He loves me, and when I fall He will be there to lift me up.

I hope that I can be a light to this dark place called Gaia, there's a lot of wickedness here, and it saddens my heart. Even in the wickedness I'm sure there are still others like me who will stand up boldly in the face of sin and injustice, people who like me are not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

I will no longer support a site that allows bullies to harass me as a person by calling me a assburger, a retard, etc. and that other spammer in the Religious section who is spamming racist and just really weird things constantly. I have reported them and nobody cares. I even made a topic about the lack of mods in the Site Feedback section and nobody cares.

I have been a member for 10 years, I'm not saying Gaia was ever wholesome, but at least the mods were more active. Just yesterday I saw topics in the CB and GD about making fun of rape, and topics about having sex with animals aka beastiality which is immoral and illegal, AND that sort of filth can get this site shut down.

Where are the mods?

that is the question... but no seriously, I'm thinking of just leaving Gaia. I have my reasons. I guess truth be told, I hate feeling like I have to watch what I say or be somebody I'm not. What I mean is, there's only a select few actual Christians here, so I don't really have that many people I can actually relate to. Also I've noticed the moment someone sees I'm a Christian they typically bail out on me, or some will add me but just never message me. So like I feel like I have to keep my conservative thoughts to myself and I really hate that because I'm a very blunt, open, and honest person.

Gaia is SO full of Gaians who just love to run around in cliques and be vulgar, and then there's a few that aren't really too vulgar but I still feel like if they don't have God and morals I can't really relate to them.

I'm just tired of feeling like I don't belong, I'm tired of the forums being full of immature and vulgar topics, and I'm tired of the Gaians who resort to personal attacks against me, and I'm tired of feeling like I cannot freely express my beliefs, and the list goes on.

I have tried to not let these things plus other things cause me distress or make me bitter, but unfortunately it has.

Of course not really feeling like I fit in isn't the only issue, another issue well among a few more lol is the way Gaia has changed. I'm tired of the constant Cash Shop ads, I'm tired of being bullied for being for the unsoulbounding of zOMG Rings, I'm tired of not being able to go in the Towns or decorate my Home because Gaia doesn't care enough to fix those things. I mean Gaia has the time to make items to sell for real money, and bombard me with ads but yet they cannot fix their stuff oh and moderate the forums better.

I'm just tired of it all. I'm tired of feeling like I must grind in Lake Kindred to make a few Plat, when at the end of the day my Plat is worth nothing because of all this hyper inflation.

If I leave I'm not giving away anything, I'm just gonna state that for the record because I've seen how Gaians are when others are like I'm leaving so here's a giveaway. The takers will then proceed with oooo nuuu don't leave, then they'll be like hey can I have this, this, and that! Good bye I hope you enjoy yourself muahaha I'm now rich on this forum full of pixel Avis just keeping up with the Joneses, yet in reality they have nothing but an illusion. None of this matters in the grand scheme of things, sure it may feel like it does, but it doesn't. One day Gaia will just be a memory, sadly many won't know how to cope without their lil pixel Avis.

What does this site really do for any of us? What do we gain from being here? Does anyone here actually care about anyone else or is it all a facade to get gifts and virtual money?

Edit: Sigh, I'm tired of being the brunt of every Aspie joke, I've already been called a retard, an assburger, a moron, etc etc. and the mods just do not care. Nobody deserves to be bullied, ever.

the majority of Gaians have been brainwashed into believing that Lake Kindred should be either nerfed more, or the Kin Eggs, Potions, and Amulets should be made soulbound. This has really got to stop! zOMG is already utterly ruined, so I really don't want to see Lake Kindred become worse than it already is. I mean Lake Kindred has already been nerfed enough, I don't want to see any Kin Eggs, Potions, Amulets, or RIGS become soulbound.

We need to stand up against these things by advocating for our rights, if you love zOMG and Lake Kindred please consider speaking out against soulbinding like I have.

It's really disturbing to see that throughout the years on Gaia the rate of threads with a vulgar subject has sky rocketed, everything is about sex. Why does this have to be so? Why must every single post be about a woman's top or bottom, or a mans bottom? Why can't Gaians just make decent topics?

I can't go to the CB or GD without seeing a topic referencing sex, it's just weird and immature, and it's not even remotely funny. Maybe I'm too old fashioned, but I'm almost 28 and back when I was growing up people at least tried to live right and be respectful, but sadly the times we are living in have changed.

I just absolutely for the life of me can't stand lewdness and vulgarities.

I guess we are at a time now where God and morals don't matter sadly, and well this ought not be so.

Edit: I've also noticed a trend with the vulgar usernames too, along with usernames telling people to harm or kill themselves... I mean really how immature is that? Gaia needs to own up and consider letting go of the mods who aren't doing their job.

I'm actually surprised to hear / see a new catchable Kin in the game! So the name of the Kin is "Creme Creme" and you can catch this Kin at the lake in the last stage. Of course as always in order to catch one you gotta grind a little. So good luck!

Oh ps. This Kin was made to celebrate the 15th year anniversary of Gaia.

Update: Here is the stats for a Creme Creme at level 50 ~
99 Stamina, 1500 Life, 99 Magic, 99 Damage, 85% Resist, and 40% Accuracy.

So there you go, sadly so far this Kin is nothing but a tank, the accuracy is SO low that during battles the Kin will more that likely have trouble hitting the target enemy. Also the damage and magic isn't so great either, so all in all its sorta pointless in battle but good for collectors.

What's an "affs"? ~ another false flag shooting. But seriously, SO allegedly there was another shooting on what do you know Valentines Day! Wow... It just had to happen on VDay right?

When is people going to wake up and realize this stuff is fake, if I wanted to read about or watch fantasy I'd pop in a sci-fi flick. This stuff is fantasy.

I know this Journal entry here will probably offend a few, well that's a given due to all of the brainwashing by the media. But like everyday now there's another fake shooting, and when those happen I have to hear about it constantly on the news, in the media, on the radio, and even on here ~ Gaia.

Of course I'm not saying all shootings are fake, that would be foolish of me, but all of these well publicized made for tv drama skits that aim for gun control are fake, guaranteed. Trust me I can tell when something is real or fake, and again a lot of these shootings were and are fake.

Sandy Hook, Elliot Rogers, The Boston Marathon, the TV News Anchor thing, the Pulse Club, Las Vegas, this recent VDay one, and hmm what else? I'm sure there are loads more. Here's how I can tell right away these shooting are fake, the moment they mention gun control, mental health, and AR15's. I'm like yup it's over y'all blew that cover.

Anyway if someone does happen to read this I'll probably be deemed an evil insensitive villain, and well that's just not the case, see if these shootings WERE real I would sympathize, but since they are made for tv drama skits aimed for gun control I just can't sympathize with a bunch of not so good actors and actresses.

Before I say anything, I will say this; I AM a Conservative Christian, so if that sounds any alarms turn back lol.

Christian Man Asks Thirteen Gay Bakeries To Bake Him Pro-Traditional Marriage Cake, And Is Denied Service By All Of Them (Video inside)

I don't usually talk Politics, but I feel like this is worth a share.

My question is this; Why are Christian Bakeries being sued, and forced to close down for expressing their freedom of religion to not bake a lgbtq cake, but yet its okay that the lgbtq Bakeries deny Christians a cake?

For the record; I'm not against anyone at all including the lgbtq even though I as a Christian don't necessarily agree with it, I believe people have the right to live as they see fit, but at the same time nobodies rights should trump another's including the right to freedom of religion.

Here's my views; It's their business, so they can freely pick and choose who they serve to. The lgbtq has no right to complain when they do the exact same thing.

Equality, tolerance, and love works both ways. Tolerating someone does not mean you have to agree with or support them. I love the lgbtq people, in fact I love everyone, hate is too strong of a word for me, but I don't support how they choose to go about obtaining their rights. If they want to marry, I really don't mind because it's their business, but at the same time I take issue when some of them insist on wrecking the lives of honest business owners etc. over something so silly.

Again I have had gay friends, I have no qualms with that or them, but I think we all need to learn the true meaning of R E S P E C T.

And this is all I will say on the matter...

I can tell that Gaia is REALLY going down hill sadly... I could list all the reasons why, but I'll save it and just list one; you know things are bad when certain forum sections one being the Morality & Religion forum section is being overrun by a spammer. This SAME spammer whose been posting hateful racist comments has been at it for gosh a few weeks maybe? I've reported them numerous times yet nothing has come of it. Why? Because I truly believe that there's either not enough mods on the whole site, or what mods they do have are not really active. If they were actively doing their job they would clearly see because trust me it's not hard to tell that this person is spamming! I doubt this spammer is trolling though, I really believe that unfortunately they believe 100% what they're saying, and sadly on top of that I think they are not all there.

So yea, where are the mods? Why is this individual allowed to spam certain forum sections with their utter nonsense? Can't something be done? Wow Gaia should consider hiring me as a moderator since I'm doing the works as one... I'm on daily but I get the sense that most of the mods are not.

It's crazy they don't have the time to moderate the site better, but they have enough time to post numerous Announcements for Gaia Cash and Cash Shop Items. Likewise they don't have the time to fix the glitchy Towns and Houses, but they have the time to post ads, etc etc.

that not only is Gaia suffering from a lack of active people aka Gaians compared to the past, but also a lack of active moderators. I've reported someone numerous times for racist type remarks, but it doesn't even matter.

For one, I'm not the cyber police, my job is not to have to go around reporting people, that's the moderators job. I'm not a tattler, so the only time I ever report anyone is when they make blatant racist type of remarks that violates the ToS.

Secondly, why are people allowed to have all of these extremely vulgar usernames, Avis, and posts, I thought that was against ToS? Perhaps things really have changed, I mean I know the CB (Chatterbox) and GD (General Discussion) has always been full of trolls, but I don't remember it ever being as bad as it is today...

I know many of us ARE adults and all, but there's still young teens who frequent this site. Isn't there something that can be done? can't Gaia put a filter on the usernames or something? Why is the sole responsibility of reporting people placed on the members hands?

I'm not against certain topics perse, but a user can still talk about certain things without being so vulgar. Guhhh vulgarity is another HUGE Pet Peeve for me. I just try to mind my business and scroll on by, but it's just trashy and immature, and it's getting old.

I'm not a moderator, I don't get paid for reporting, in fact I'm the one paying Gaia monthly as a Wing Supporter. My job is not to babysit everyone, this should be a safe environment for EVERYONE, and nobody should ever have to feel forced or coerced into doing the moderators job.

I used to be a moderator for a few sites, of course I didn't mind when people reported others, but I never expected them to, why? because I did my job, when I was on I was busy patrolling each forum section, no excuses.

I'm a member, I don't mind reporting baddies, but as a member I also expect more from the mods.

I really don't know what more I can say... Ugh...

Yup I knew it! For just $10 you can buy a zOMG Valentines Day "Sweetheart Ring"!
<.< I mean why cant they just have an event in Lake Kindred or zOMG for VDay? why does everything have to equal paying with real cash?

I mean think about it, for that Ring you'd be paying $10 for it and you can never sell or trade that Ring in the future, it's literally soulbound to you forever. So essentially even though you're paying for it, it's basically not yours. ~ no thanks, I'll pass.

From now on I'm going to have to really think about what I get on here with real cash, I don't want to sink money into something that's going to just end up being soulbound. If I buy something I want it to be mine.

What's crazy is that someone made a topic asking what Gaia is planning to do for zOMG or Lake Kindred for the VDay event, anyway I made a joke saying you'll either get nothing or you'll get some Rings and Kin Eggs in the Cash Shop, and well I was right!

My BIGGEST Pet Peeve is when people ask for either my advice or advice in general, and when I give it to them they don't take it, or they get offended because it wasn't what they wanted to hear! Like don't ask and I won't tell!

Why do people ask for advice, opinions, or ask for help on certain situations when they have their mind already set? I for the life of me don't understand that. So yea that's one of my BIGGEST Pet Peeves!!!

I have had to face my BIGGEST Pet Peeve a few times already on Gaia, grrr I want to SCREAM! I won't get into all of that but, long story short these people wanted advice in general so I am like cool why don't I swoop in and help them because I am kind like that, but Nuuuu~ they either have their mind already set aka they want me to just agree with them and tell them what they want to hear, or they get mad at me and offended because again their mind is already set.

I swear sometimes I wonder about society, aka this World we are living in...

I mean if someone already has their mind set, wouldn't it be easier and smarter just to do what they want to do instead of wasting my time and their time? For instance again I tried to help someone and they snap at me and tell me they're just gonna do them, okay that's great! go and do you, but don't ask for any advice if you don't really want to hear the advice given. I mean I am never ever rude with my advice, I can be blunt sure, but I am NEVER rude. My soul intentions are to help people, never to hurt them, or cause them any harm, but if someone wants my advice I have to give them my honest opinion on things, I am just not the type of person who is going to tell someone what they want to hear.

So yea if you need advice just don't ask me unless you want my honest opinion. Heh...

It would be like me asking hey everyone! what should I eat today? should I eat this burger, or this hotdog? and someone says hmm... I think you should eat the hotdog, and I jump in and say you know I think I will just take the burger it looks really juicey yada yada... well why even ask if my mind is already set and I am not willing to listen to why I should eat one or the other.

Or if I said should I get this new Action Adventure Video Game, or this Horror based Video Game? and someone says yo def get the Horror Game! and then I get offended and snap and say Nuuu~ I hate HORRRORRRRR! well why even ask if I hate Horror right?

See it ALL makes NO SENSE whatsoever!

is that everyone knows what it's like to have someone to hold, to kiss, to cherish, to love, and to spend forever with.

I couldn't imagine my life without my husband, he's not only my husband, but he's my best friend, and the father of my child. He's definitely been there for me through the good times and the bad.

Everyone needs somebody, and everyone goes through bouts of loneliness and depression, so it truly is my wish this Valentines Day that everyone gets hit by Cupids arrow.

My advice to those who feel like they'll forever be alone; don't... I know it seems that way now, but that's not the truth. I've been there before, before I met my husband I felt like I would never find the one for me, I had pretty much given up on love. See all that time I was searching for love wishing upon many stars, I never realized that sometimes love finds us. I know this sounds corny, but I do agree with that Hallmark movie series called "Love Comes Softly", because sometimes love comes softly. I mean yea we want to be in control, and as humans we want to write our own destiny and kind of hurry things along, but trust me when I say that it's better to wait for the true one instead of settling.

There's two sayings that ring true;
1. Sometimes you gotta kiss a lotta frogs before you find your prince.
And 2. The first one is usually the decoy and the second one is the real McCoy.

So if you've been burnt before in love, don't let that deter you! Just give yourself time to heal and love will find a way into your life, you just gotta have faith! Just cling on to as much hope as you can, wish upon a star, dream a dream, and what you believe will be in time.

Relationships aren't perfect, and love DOES take work, but it's worth it!

Ps. True love waits, so don't rush in, they say only fools rush in. Respect yourself enough to wait. Most relationships fail because of rushing in to things like that. Maybe I'm too old fashioned but I believe marriage should come before you know what. Remember, if someone truly loves you they will wait for you, and likewise you will wait for them.

I've been married to my husband for around 5 years, we both waited and our love just keeps getting stronger and stronger because of it.

Just look around and you'll see that most couples that remain together are those who have put their significant others needs and wants above their own, and likewise, that all balances it out.

True love gives and never takes. True love forgives and never holds grudges. True love waits. True love endures. True love lasts a lifetime.

So, back in the GLORY days of Gaia you could work hard grinding away in zOMG to earn Rings, level them up and sell them for in game coins *Gold*. Unfortunately they have become soulbound which means you can no longer sell, buy, or even trade your Rings. Now the only way to get these Rings are by well grinding away in game to get them, you can only get them at the lowest level, and you have to grind for the Orbs to level them, and well if you don't like a Ring you get tough! you cannot trade that Ring to someone else for another Ring of your choice.

In fact if you mention this issue in the zOMG forum section you will quickly learn that the masses (most people anyway) have been brainwashed into believing that anyone who has sold or is still able to sell their Rings due to a sort of loophole in the Market Place (MP) is a cheater, and anyone who thinks Gaia should unsoulbind these Rings is a cheater enabler. I was recently branded a cheater enabler just for saying I think these Rings should NOT be soulbound, in fact I don't think anything should EVER be soulbound, period.

Anyway the whole Ring soulbinding thing, and branding anyone against Ring soulbinding a cheater / cheater enabler is ridiculous... I mean was Gaia themselves cheaters / cheater enablers back when they allowed these Rings to be traded, bought, and sold in the Market Place? Think about it...

The truth is, that right there the whole making the Rings soulbound was just the cherry on the top of the site's downfall... nobody even hardly plays zOMG anymore because of this, the lag, and well the general lack of players. I truly wonder if the reason they soulbound these Rings were to eventually usher in the ability to buy Rings only through real life currency. I have said this before and I will say it again; what's next soulbinding Kin Eggs so you cannot buy, sell, or trade them through the Market Place? so the only place you could get a Kin Egg is through the game where they RARELY drop, or through the Cash Shop?

These people who are for the soulbinding of these zOMG Rings cannot see what they are doing, or what they are helping to enable / create, they don't realize that essentially they are just hurting themselves in the long run. Eventually well okay potentially this site has the ability to fully delve into a pay to win sort of site, in fact it's already happening before our very eyes.

Slowly things are becoming more and more soulbound to where you can only sludge away to get them, or perhaps spend $10 here, and another $10 there... in today's economy not many people have that kind of cash to throw around.

For instance, the bosses in Lake Kindred were nerfed, which means they pay out less, and some Kins were nerfed which means the damage they do is less and they are weaker in general. So in order to get anywhere you have to grind up to character level 20+, AND you have to have at least 1 tree killing Kin to level 50 to even make some Gold / Platinum, and even then in the grand scheme of things you don't make a lot because of the inflation etc.

Gaia has many people believing that unnerfing the bosses and Kins will just further collapse / inflate the economy and this just isn't the truth, the truth of the matter is - is that Gaia has become Cash hungry, they want more and more. And like I said if things don't change, EVERYTHING half decent will be sold for REAL money, money that many people just don't have.

I wish people could see these things for what they are... but they can't... I mean you can't even go into the zOMG forum section without seeing people bully anyone mentioning buying Orbs, or mentioning how they want the Rings to be unsoulbounded. It's all just CRAZY. I would like to know who even came up with the bright idea to soulbound these Rings in the first place anyway... I mean why? selling, buying, and trading Rings did NOT hurt the economy! what hurt the economy was selling item RIGS and Gold Generators for REAL MONEY because Gaia got GREEDY! and of course instead of blaming themselves, they blame the user for things like selling Rings, yada yada. No! Gaia broke their OWN economy! because think about it; by selling Gold generators that made Gaian's rich for a few real life bucks they essentially made the Gold Coins have no value, just like if we kept printing real World money out of thin air especially when it's no longer backed by Gold eventually that money will have little to no value.

I just find it funny that Gaia even thinks the selling of those Rings was just one of the economy breakers, but yet I remember before the rogue take over these Rings were selling when the economy was GREAT. At no time EVER did the selling, buying, and trading of these Rings hinder the economy. Again the economy was wrecked when Gaia made the choice to sell Gold for real Cash. Before the rogue take over, you made your money buy selling Rings, selling Items, or selling Monthly Collectibles, and there was only so many people buying the Monthly Collectibles with their real hard earned money so all in all there wasn't enough Cash Shop item things being sold to break the economy. Sadly over time Cash Shop Gold gens became a thing, and then the whole selling of mass numerous items and RIGS through the Cash Shop, the list goes on.

So lastly, NO I do not think that unnerfing Lake Kindred and zOMG / unsoulbounding Rings, etc will hinder the economy! if ANYTHING those things will better the economy by bringing more people back to Gaia, the same people that left Gaia because of the way Gaia IS today. What could help the economy is to stop selling SO many things for real money, and instead go back to selling the Monthly Collectibles and so forth.

almost every single Announcement is an advertisement for Cash Shop items or Gaia Cash... I really miss the old Gaia, sure I love some of the new items, but ya know I don't mind having just a Monthly Collectible to look forward to. Just a choice between two items or whatever it was, I really could do without this constant bombardment of a bazillion items a month. It's really confusing now trying to come up with an avi, back then there was only so many choices and with the Monthly Collectibles only coming out monthly (not all day everyday) you had time to at least try to memorize what all items there was, plus there was always Tek-Tek. Now there's no more Monthly Collectible, but instead there's only the Lord knows how many new items a day being sold for Gaia Cash only.

I've noticed that the in game Gold / Platinum based Shops are selling pretty much the same things they sold years ago, the only new items are the items being sold for real money. I don't know if I'm the only one here that hates being constantly marketed to, but wow... I just don't even like checking the Announcements anymore because I know exactly what it will be, another ad for a bunch of items that can only be bought with Gaia Cash, or the actual Gaia Cash lol.

Wow... a lot truly has changed since my hiatus, then again it wasn't necessarily good before I left either, I left just a little bit after the rogue takeover and hyper inflation.

Honestly I want to believe Gaia is making changes for the better, but I really don't believe they are, I just think their goal has changed from being a fun hangout site that sold a choice Monthly Collectible item to make it by, to now a Cash grab pay to win sort of site. I don't like that... this is why I usually don't use mobile game apps, if I want to play a game I'll just pop one into a console and play it. I mean I don't mind donating here and there, it's just the premises that when I as a subscriber give my money monthly I want to feel like my money actually matters, and to be honest I don't feel like my money matters. Back in the day my money may have mattered, but now I don't feel like a true supporter, I feel like a sucker, like I'm being constantly raked over the coals.

Maybe just maybe I am slowly becoming bitter, and I don't like feeling that way... I mean I never was an optimistic person, but I was never really a pessimistic person either, I am more of a realist, but sadly I can't help but to be a little depressed with the way things are now. So yea if my ramblings the last few days about the changes in Gaia bother you, you may not want to check out my Journal anymore because I feel like sadly this is just the beginning. I am really beginning to get disenchanted with the site, I have met some cool people of course, but at the same time I constantly ask myself why am I here? Do I really need to be a Wing Supporter? etc. etc.

Gaia what has happened to you gurrrl???

For anyone getting back into zOMG or first time players... I found this announcement so I thought I'd share it here.

zOMG Announcement / Ring Randomizer

I'm a monthly supporter, I've had this account for 10 years... I love Gaia, I'm just at this point where I'm fed up with some things so I'll vent here.

1. I hate the fact that the zOMG Rings are soulbound, what's next soulbinding Kin Eggs, so you can only get them in game where they rarely drop, or in the cash shop where you have to use real money?

2. The lagginess of zOMG, plus it's dead there's hardly anybody playing anymore.

3. The constant bombardment of Cash Shop advertisements, it used to not be like this, ads used to be something good / important, now I just don't even check the advertisements anymore.

4. The rare drops of Kin Eggs, and the Sycamorte nerfs, and the nerfing of Cash Shop Kins. Also the game takes forever to level, it's truly a grind.

5. The lack of true Monthly Collectibles, I miss those little letters.

6. There's been no updates to the Guilds system, it definitely needs updates, plus users should be able to remove the Gold or Platinum they've received into the Guilds by donations.

7. The general bugs and errors in the site. The Towns still don't work, sometimes the Aquariums don't work, the Houses don't work, the list goes on...

8. The lack of true incentive, I just feel like I've lost a true need for monthly Gaia Cash. If I need it perhaps I could just pay as I go.

It just really irks me to see many site issues never being addressed, yesterday there was a VDay event that started, well due to the influx of users spamming the forums the site was getting errors. People couldn't post or do anything without getting an error, and yet Gaia still found the time to post their usual Gaia Cash Shop Advertisements. I mean really? I know they fixed the issue, but things like that REALLY bother me.

I honestly think the site is dying not just due to inflation, they (Gaia) may blame inflation, but it's deeper than that. Yea the rogue takeover didn't help, and the Gold gens, but the things I've posted about above don't help either, and I'm sure those are just the tip of the iceberg.

So, with this being said, I may go ahead and end my support until these things are resolved.

I really want to see Gaia prosper and be popular again, but I'm losing hope on that ever happening. All of these ads and pushes for Cash have me weary that the site won't last, basically I fear Gaia is on its last leg, and as an investor I have to be able to sense when it's time to pull my investment. Of course I'll stick around, Ido love Gaia, but I won't be throwing my hard earned Cash at them unless there's something I just gotta have, and so far I can honestly say I could do without a lot of the Cash Shop items. In fact my last purchase was Khaotix the Crimson Hatchling, I love him and all, but I feel like he's nerfed. I mean why is my Sakura Pegacorn Fluff sturdier, and my Watermeat more powerful? that just makes no sense! Think about it, I spent $10 for a Kin Egg (Dragon), thankfully I got another one due to the extra Gaia Cash from the sale or whatever. I know $10 may not be a lot to some, but hear me out, for pixels it sorta is in the grand scheme of things, especially when the pixels are a sorta weak Dragon, he looks neat but he's nerfed. I just want to see more bang for my buck, I'm not tight, and money isn't really an issue, but I don't like to feel cheated either though. Also just because I have the money don't mean I want to just throw it away. Plus if something were to happen like Gaia closing down etc, I would not be refunded at all, so goodbye Cash Shop items, Gaia Cash, etc etc. (I read about it ALL in the ToS), Gaia holds the right to literally exterminate your account, wipe the site, add or subtract to your Gaia Cash funds, etc as they see fit, and to be honest I don't like the sound of that.

Ps. Yes I know Gaias been here awhile, but again the site is hurting, if it wasn't they wouldn't be pushing as hard as they are for our money.

I bought me and my hubby one for an early Vday gift, yay! So I'm going to level this guy up to 50 and see if he's any good against the trees. Wish me luck.

Update: He (at full evolution) can kill white trees in about 4 hits.

(a strike through means I already have that Kin)

Let me start off by saying that the soul binding of the rings, and the take down of zOMG in the past, and the General lagginess has utterly destroyed zOMG...
Before they removed the game / soul bounded everything the game was bustling, now it's a laggy shadow of it's former self.

It's sad that the whole selling and trading of rings was ever considered "cheating", I see nothing wrong with leveling up a ring and selling it on the MP or trading it for another ring. I'd love more than anything to see rings back on the MP for good.

Because of rings being soul bound I can't even remove a few rings I don't want sitting in my active rings pouch.

I want to play zOMG but knowing that these things are occurring aka the soul binding, and the take down of zOMG the past, AND the lagginess is really hindering me.

My fear is that they will eventually soul bind Lake Kindreds Kin Eggs and Potions. In fact I'm really surprised the zOMG orbs aren't soul bound yet... I just don't think this soul binding thing is fair.

I'd love more than anything to see Gaia & zOMG popular again, but I really fear that we will never relive those glory days.

It's sad that a select few that went against the trading of rings and so forth had to ruin it for the rest, if they didn't like it that's great and all but I don't think their views should trump others. A lot of people worked hard to level their rings to sell, that was a big part of their income and now that's nerfed, again what's next? the nerfing of Kin Eggs?

Recap; I fell ill from a cat scratch, long story short I contracted Cellulitist. Not cellulite, but Cellulitis which is a bacterial infection. I wound up in the ER with a badly infected leg, terrible headache, body aches, chills, fever, fatigue, malaise, etc. Anyways I was put on antibiotics. My leg went from very infected / red and hurting to now being normal thank God.

So so far so good, I'm almost finished with the antibiotics, my only concern now is a side effect of the antibiotics so please keep me In your thoughts and prayers with that.
