why can't we get free cash when we start
|

Oh but you do. You get 25.

Helmi Oh but you do. You get 25. We shouldn't get cash when we start. Cash helps run Gaia, and if they gave it away for free, they would lose money. |

Helmi Oh but you do. You get 25. You must have made your account while ago...You dont start with 25 cash no more.   The cake is a lie... -Ry-Yun  |

Really? No more? Well.....I'll be. I always thought that little 25 wasn't so bad, since you couldn't give it to another account or anything. But since it's so small, no big loss for not getting it.

Let's pretend 100 users join each day, and they're each given 25 cash. 100 x 25 = 2500, which equals a $25 cash card. That means each day Gaia is 'giving out' $25. Now think about how many people really join each day, including new users, mules, trolls, and bots. Hundreds of potential Cash buyers. :3 |

Now think about how many people really join each day, including new users, mules, trolls, and bots. Hundreds of potential Cash buyers. :3 But you can't trade cash to other accounts. So getting ride of the 25 freebie didn't hurt Gaia, nor did it help Gaia. |

Now think about how many people really join each day, including new users, mules, trolls, and bots. Hundreds of potential Cash buyers. :3 When Gaia first started the cash thing, they gave out 25 cash to users. This was with the intent of saying "HEY LOOK! You can get cool, exclusive stuff from this one store with this new kind of currency!" And for a lot of people, I assume it worked to make them buy more cash. Giving out a LITTLE free cash upon joining, like 25--enough for one fish or one small cash item--would likely encourage new users to buy cash because "OMG I WANT THE EXPENSIVE ONES TOO!" sort of thing. But yeah, giving out 25 cents doesn't seem like a lot until you realize just how many users are on this site. EDIT I think I just totally misread your post. >< |

Um, actually if you follow the starter quest, you get almost 2k for finishing it eek

Captain gundam boy why can't we get free cash when we start Because cash is real money for gaia. Why would they just give us money? |

Marcle Captain gundam boy why can't we get free cash when we start Because cash is real money for gaia. Why would they just give us money? But they DO now, if you finish the starter quest, which isn't that hard. In actuality they give MORE stuff than they used to, to starting members. You used to start naked, after all. Lol And there wasn't so many cheap items for 1g in stores, back then. |

I didn't receive any Gaia Cash when I joined, but in my opinion, it might not hurt them to give out just a little when you join...but no more than 25.

But, recently, you get 100g now, just for making a character.
It was after you sign up your account, I believe |
