Please make sure to say THANK YOU to Gaia Staff/Artists responsible for the grants and the special announcement!
Be sure to pick up your FREE GRANT courtesy of Gaia that is the Fishaholics 9th Anniversary Pin featuring an adorable golden guppy by clicking to receive the HUMAN and PAW versions.
On March the 6th of 2015, the Fishaholics Anonymous guild was formed here on Gaia to initially welcome trophy fishers/competitors and Angelic Rod seekers to a place where like minds could gather and work hard towards their goals. In realizing the sheer size of the Fishing community at the time, however, the guild soon opened its membership to anyone who appreciated the game or wanted to learn more about it.
Gaia's Fishing game is a classic - one of the early games that was here for the old school players like myself. I remember the early days of my 2005 joining, sitting there on dial-up internet and waiting on the game to load while pushing the G A I A bubbles around with the little fan for so long as I waited for the load. Nowadays, many people may not have ever experienced this with the way internet has evolved since Gaia's early days! After a long hiatus, I logged in again in 2015 and found the Fishing community to be so welcoming.
The environment had changed and there was so much to learn about Gaia, yet the friends I made early in Fishing supported me and helped me get the hang of things with patience and kindness. I dedicated myself to paying forward that kindness and help, and the Fishaholics Anonymous guild evolved into something much bigger than just a gathering spot. Many changes and events happened during the years to come, but all along the goal was to continue to support the classic game. And so Fishaholics Anonymous has not been just a guild - it has been a starter kit giveaway, a tournament, and special usermade items. It has been petitions, giveaways, and advice and information shared to help new and returning players.
The guild grew quite a lot in those early days, but things changed especially when Flash met its end. We saw a huge decline in activity, and these days the guild is not as active as it once was. We hope you will come join us and help to breathe new life into the guild, and suggest to us any things that may help it grow further and encourage your participation. Though it may not be as active in the guild, you will still continue to see Fishaholics Anonymous supporting our favorite game in a variety of ways because we're just ADDICTED TO FISHING! Remember that we are all about "Fishing, Fun, and Friendship" as well, so please help us carry this motto forward by being kind to all your fellow Fishers and friendly to them while having a great time enjoying the Fishing game.
Thank you for helping us make it to 9 years on this "guildaversary" and here are to many more years at Fishaholics Anonymous!
Please share your memories, questions, and general comments pertaining to the game and guild! Some examples of conversation include if you are a current Fisher, a favorite memory from your time chatting and hanging out with friends at a Lake, a rare fish or Angelic Rod earned, a tough trophy hunting month, or sharing if you have seen any Fishaholics themed items created. Need any advice or want to learn more about Fishing? Feel free to let us know as well!
