Well guys, its been a blast, I've enjoyed my 5 years here on Gaia, playing zOMG!, meeting my now wife in Zen Gardens 4 years ago, collecting all the Kill Badges in the game, doing my very best to get all the Achievements, creating these amazing guides for you guys, and all the fun in between.
But, I fear I'm nearing my end here on Gaia. The main reasons I stay here, despite the fact I dislike everything Gaia is doing in recent years, were zOMG!, Achievements, and my Alchemy threads. I put my heart, soul and sweat into those features, and yet, Gaia has ruined them for me, by doing these kickstarters set at 75b per achievement for 2 of them, then they decide it was cool to add a 150b and 500b one in this new one that ends in a few hours..
And with zOMG! being taken down soon for 'maintenance' I have my doubts it'll come back, most likely they will do a kickstarter for it like they are for the Manga.
So unless I come up with 400b by tonight I will miss my first achievement in the 4 years of collecting them, and it hurts to be defeated like this because I don't buy Gaia Cash, oh and to top it off, it looks like they released another Alchemy like system called Go Fusion, the components are Cash only and it too, has Achievements. It really saddens me to see Gaia do this to its users.
I deeply appreciate everyone and everything that you guys have done for me, and if I do 'retire' I will leave my thread in good hands, but I hope it doesn't have to come to that.
And congrats to everyone who has reached Level 10 while I was away.
