"This place is not a place of honor. No esteemed deeds are commemorated here. You should not have come here. You are heading towards a place where you should never go. What is there is dangerous and repulsive. The danger will still be present in your time as it is in ours. Please turn around and never come back. There is nothing here for you. Go no further."
-Michael Madsen, "Into Eternity"
There are several pages' worth of arguments over the effects of gold generators, which I'm not going to repeat here. Instead, this thread will serve as a list of every gold generator that Gaia ever sold.
Earlier attempts to gather such a list had been attempted during the peak of gold generator sales in the middle of 2014. However, those who ran the older lists were eventually overwhelmed by the pace of releases and gave up on updating them. Lately, the release of gold generators, as well as of new announcements, have been slowed down, and maintaining such a list became possible once more. As of the latest update, the last gold generator was released on 31 December 2016. If you find a gold generator to be missing from this list, please quote me and link to it to bring it to my attention. However, if a gold generator released after the aforementioned date isn't added for at least two months after its release and several more that came afterwards are missing as well, please make a new thread, copy to there the posts in the first page of this thread, and assume the responsibility of updating it.
For an item to be included in this list:
1. It should have been either:
....a. sold by Gaia for cash, or
....b. given for free for purchasing a certain amount of cash.
2. And it should be able to generate
....a. gold
....b. items whose sole purpose is to be sold for a fixed gold value, or
....c. items that generate other items that generate either of the aforementioned products.
To learn more about the effects of gold generators, please read the following:
October 2015: Began working on this list, building upon the earlier work of Umioko and ManaManami
25 December 2015: First release of this list
3 January 2016: Released to Gaia Guides and Resources
7 January 2016: First update to the list with the release of Loose Change
9 June 2016: The first reserve post comes into use with the continued release of gold generators
1 December 2016: Some entries found on the Gaia Online Wikia were added to the list
31 December 2016: Final entry added
All entries consist a date for the gold generator's first release, one or more gold generator names in boldface, a link to the earliest available announcement for the gold generator, an icon for every name, and the maximum output in boldface.
Some entries may consist of a list of re-release announcements for cases when certain gold generators are re-released (which is still under development), and some are struck through after either no corresponding marketplace entry can be seen or the name registered in the marketplace is different from the name listed in the announcement.
