[ Gaia Get Together ]

Basically, it’ll give us gaians a chance to meet other people from Gaiaonline at the convention, and talk about all things Gaia, such as current plots, market place values, quests, battle systems and anything and everything!

The GGT PICNIC(Gaia Get Together)

Time: 12 - 12.30
Place: The entrance to the Excel center, between the help desk and the entrance doors

We will be congregating inside the center due to poor weather conditions that will occur over the weekend, we will meet here and then make our way to the back of the center where there will be less people due to the distance from all the other activities meaning we will be able to get on with the meet hassle free.

PLEASE NOTE! The GGT will be happening like a Picnic. Please Bring food to eat and but bare in mind that the meet is now inside so we need to keep the floor clean of food where as before we could of left food for nature so please do take this into consideration.

Activities list

Twister
Gaia Picnic (A place shall be found after we have all arrived)
Assassins Creed see Here for more details on it


Please feel free to give your opinions on a Get Together!

[ Cosplay Exchange ]

If you need an item for a cosplay you are doing, and cannot find it anywhere, or you are willing to sell an item from an old costume, we can post your items up here for people to buy or sell. Lending is also an option, but you will have to sort that out amongst yourselves biggrin

Basically, if you have a cosplay/wig/accessory you want to sell, or are willing to lend out, your item can be displayed on this post, and people can PM you to buy/borrow the item, and likewise if you have something you need and would like to borrow you can put it there so if someone has one they are willing to lend/sell they can see.
We are doing this mainly because it would be much cheaper to lend something from a friend on here than go out and buy a new one, especially if you're not likely to repeat the cosplay.

If you are looking to Buy or Borrow an item, please fill out the following form, and PM it to MCM Expo Mascot.
