New Kickstarter ~ List + Discussion

[sqoobie]

New goldsink everyone! Although there's a twist, instead of something that affects the site directly, it's seems more like Gaia is in a festive mood.

Also, there's seems to be a leaked forest green Princess of Solar! A possible future tier rewards? emotion_awesome

Quote:

Yes, Gaians! You read that completely right. It's the season of giving, and to help families in need, we're hosting an extra special Charity Kickstarter! All of the Gaia Gold proceeds raised during this Kickstarter by generous Gaians will be converted into real life currency and used for toys, food, and household necessities to be donated to some of the hardworking local charities around Gaia HQ! Check out some of the rewards you can earn for participating:


As you all work together to hit the Global Tiers, actual Gaia Staff members will be out spending your donations on goods to be given to the local charities! In fact, as we hit every tier, we'll be making a thread full of fun photos so you can see the shopping shenanigans that unfold and help give tips on what to buy next!

Not only will you be donating to help people who really need it this season, but for every Personal Tier you manage to hit, you will receive a fabulous new item like the festive Astra: Green and Red Angelic Headwings, Green and Red Striped Devil Tail, Spirited Majoko Mariko Eyes, or even the Project Golden Ticket, which can be exchanged for the chance to create your own custom outfit for your avatar! Check out the details here.

We'll be using 100% of the virtual funds collected from this Kickstarter to give real life support to these local charity organizations:

• Second Harvest Food Bank - of Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties
• San Jose Family Services
• Toys for Tots

So without further ado, let's get started, Gaians! Have fun working hard to donate as much as you can, and look forward to our updates as the Kickstarter event continues! Let's work hard to hit all our Global Tiers!

Spirited Majoko Mariko Eyes (Any)

[Elinoi]

I kind of regret throwing 750 mil at it.
Those eyes... definitely not worth. ; . ;

Edit: before upsetting someone else: I didn't read global tiers prior to this post :v

[minghii]

i wonder what charities they are :O


here's the header that i grabbed

also, that's kind of a big jump from 750mil to 100bil? did they miscalculate the numbers or something.... then again, it is the golden ticket

[Pengaana]

This....this is actually not that bad surprised
and pretty affordable, you can get every item with a little less than 1 bill

Think of it as helping ACTUAL people, not virtual people. Don't regret money spent on help to those in need.

I think they kept the actual rewards under a billion because it's easy to get that amount and it will limit people bitching about it

although this is gaia so there will be plenty of bitching anyway

and then a golden ticket is more of a luxury thing so yeah

[drakokatze]

the amount they donate vs the amount they ask us to dump seems a bit skewed

[Zemalia]

I may put some in towards the devil tail but I think I'll at least wait and see exactly what the items look like before I do.

Nice to see that Gaia is doing something to help the community outside of the online world. I'll just try not to be cynical that it's a PR stunt.

I didn't even read the global tiers. I assumed it was for noobies on this site or something.

Well I suppose that does make me feel better >w<!

[TasteChaos]

I think it's kinda weird that they don't specify what the charity is.

[Madam Ace]

Weird, but hey it's Christmas and it's helping out charities.

So...
/dunks 750mil

[Ami Satomora]

I commend them for doing charity really I do. As someone who works helping those in need, them having the intention to do something like this is really needed. So thank you Gaia for that.

Buuuut, the tiers themselves seems a little lacking, it's nice that it's so easy to get all the items for under a bil. But there's really no incentive to do it beyond the 750mil mark. Unless you really really really want a golden ticket and even then they may have something for the top 10 donators. I was kinda hoping for the Majoko eyes would be multiposed with all types of christmas colors. But still I get good feels that I giving Gaia incentive to do something so nice irl.
