I've been on Gaia for just over ten years now and I've had one solid thing I loved doing since its creation; collecting blue carnations. I quested for a million of them back when Towns 1 was first created and just over a year later I hit my goal. I was both happy I was finished, and left wanting more at the same time. I kept buying them from the Marketplace (they were roughly 2 for 1g, when prices went up 1g a piece, which was a lot back then for game items considering daisies and papers were valued at 10 for 1g!), I'd keep going into towns to pick other flowers to trade for them long after my quest was over, and then I took a hiatus from the site before Alchemy came out. When I came back prices on flowers and their rarity had shot sky high, and continuously collecting the one thing I wanted most on Gaia became merely a memory.
I guess my regret would be that hiatus before Alchemy. Had I known a feature was going to come out that would exhaust them I would have not taken it so I could collect as many as I could beforehand emo . I would have also happily spent more than double for them as well. I wish I could find another thing like blue carnations that I could collect endlessly. I still find myself stalking the Game Item Exchange threads and seeing how many blues people have and fondly remembering the fun I had collecting them.

- Is there something you regret either doing or not doing above all other things on Gaia?
- Would you go back and change it if you could? Why or why not?
