Welcome to Gaia! ::

A while ago, we ran a contest where Gaia members could try to come up with a name for our new MMO. We wanted something a little more thrilling than "battle," since there's much more to do than just battling stuff.

After months of debate, meditation and intense physical conflict, we've finally settled on the winning name:



It's short, it's punchy, it's memorable and it pretty much says it all. Many congrats to Chat_God for suggesting the title!

Also, I bet you're all wondering when you can start playing zOMG!, right? Soon! We're in the early stages of our beta test, and we're slowly ramping up the number of testers we let in the game at once. A public beta is just around the corner!

For all the zOMG info you could ever need, visit the official site:





As an amusing side note, we thought we'd take a moment to celebrate some of the other brilliant entries that we didn't wind up choosing. The list below is, I swear to you, composed entirely of absolutely real entries that real Gaians actually sent us. Really. Enjoy:
