risa ai The Better Part Welcome back to gaia! biggrin Have you seen the marketplace yet? rofl
yup yup! So, I don't know what exactly caused it. It just very rapidly increased for some reason. My theory is that it came from exponential inflation from zOMG. Too much free gold to everyone. At first, the market was booming and everyone was happy because a little hard work could earn you your dream item. But, eventually the inflation caught up and forced the marketplace to end up how it is now. About 500bil is a lot now, like buy anything you want rich. Like, buy an expensive dream avi rich. Trillion prices are just plain overpriced although I have seen people with that much and more.
Part of me thinks that zOMG was actually shut down to halt the inflation because inflation was not stopping even after it's initial "maintenance" shut down. Now, things seemed to have leveled off. However, item prices bounce around a lot faster and erratically than usual these days. Back when you were a member, I remember item prices to be pretty stable and slow moving.
Gaia has also been trying to fix it with "gold drains" like donation events where you donate gold to earn rewards, and chance gold items. Chance gold items are those things in mechaneko, or the cash shop sometimes, that cost gold to gamble for more gold. Most people just end up around the same or a few million less. Very few I've heard have gained gold from it. |

Thankyou for explaining it to me! ^^ I have been on and off these years because yeah.. 10 years is a lot. I remember I saved such a long time for the ninja headband, but what if you start as a newbie now and want something.. you just cant? Yeah buy Gaiacash and sell those items lol. Maybe that's what they want, it always gets less fun when real money gets involved. XD Hope it will come back to normal prices though. I discovered it yesterday and I thought it was a joke so I put this item on the marketplace for 20bil while the minimum was 60bil and it sold in an instant o_o so it was real lol. |

yuuuuup! You're right on all counts. Newbies are kinda screwed again. When I first joined I remember not being able to get anything cuz 1,000gold was already difficult to get. Now with 1bil???? Yeah, newbies don't stand much of a chance without using real cash. It's why there are so many guilds and petitions to bring zOMG back no matter how bad it may be for the marketplace. People had fun and it gave non-gcash users to have a chance at buying items despite how long it could take. It could at least get them started so they could play the marketplace. |

I'm a bad Gaian but I have never played zOMG. What did you have to do? (Excuse me for my bad English by the way, not my first language) I think this wont make new members attracted to Gaia but then again.. there are already alot of members lol. |

The Better Part risa ai I'm a bad Gaian but I have never played zOMG. What did you have to do? (Excuse me for my bad English by the way, not my first language) I think this wont make new members attracted to Gaia but then again.. there are already alot of members lol. (Don't worry about you're english, hun. I'm a native speaker and even I don't get everything right all the time) in zOMG you collect rings to make you more powerful to kill monsters. The higher the level of the monster, the more gold you could get. So people had to form groups to kill the really big monsters. Being forced into groups helped people make more friends, and a lot of people miss that. It was a very simple game where you could take to your group while you fought the monsters and it was very easy to make friends.
Ah okay! Sounds fun. I played the game where you can create the houses but I haven't played it for long. How long have you been on Gaia? |

The Better Part risa ai The Better Part I've been on gaia since 2007. So long ago!! But around 2010 I stopped getting online for a while, and have been off-and-on for a long time. I only recently started to get online again. Ah ok! ^^ Do you still like it like you used too? I used to like it way more but maybe that's also because I was younger. I think I like it a little more because I'm richer on gaia. xd I was so broke and wanted so many things when I first started. I played the marketplace, made some great friends who support me, and I support them back. So I feel a lot better on gaia. When I first started, my real life friends and I played together. But we didn't do much online. I was really shy back then too.
That's cool!! Well your avi is cute so ^^ I only managed to get my little sister on here haha. She only logs in when I ask her LOL |
