So, gaia has gone though some rough moments. Many of the moments relating to the market before the platinum fix and possibly a bit after for some users.
Personally, I find there is many negatives and positives to what happened on this site. Unfortunately many users left, leaving now numerous accounts un-active of an actual user and friends lists plummeting to a sad 1-5 friends. Yes, it was sad to see them go but now there is users more inclined on fully navigating and interacting with one another on the website. Also I have noticed a much more mature user base considering many of the users are long time dedicated changing from people aging from 16 below to 20+. As well Gaia online is adding elements closer to media and marketing more commonly used today. Also daily incentives that are not going to be quickly thrown into dumpster dive like the hundred and one bugs and crumpled paper. (no shade)
Hopefully considering an update to the actually games available on the website giving users more reasons to stay longer online and not just platinum obsessed business men that only visit for dailys and occasional well priced rare items. Just throwing that out there. - Comments are highly encouraged and allowed -
