I started gaia in 2004 (on a different account) and I was really active until about 2006, until I was about 12. I came on today for the first time in a little over a year, but I haven't had any kind of activity in a long time, I would just pop in to mess with my avatar every now and then when I'm bored.
I came on and decided to snoop around in the marketplace cuz I had (what I thought) was quite a bit of gold, but boy was I surprised! It was ridiculous how high the prices were! I luckily had a bunch of old items on another account. I sold all of em and sent the money to this account. I was pretty happy to be able to afford a pair of wings, especially since when I was active NO ONE could afford wings! But its still pretty sad.
I remember when I reached my first 10k and how excited I was, and I remember when I used to SEND LETTERS to get monthly collectibles!!! And monthly collectibles were a BIG deal! I remember when Towns beta first came out!! It's just so crazy, I bet its so hard for brand new users to get a good start on this website, and I be thats why a lot of kids end up spending real money. They see all the flashy items and cool avatars and thing, WOW! I wanna be a part of this!
