We’re always looking for ways to make Gaia feel more alive, and we’re excited to announce a new step: new storefronts! Our shops page has been updated with new art to make each shop feel like a real place.

Navigating to stores will be a little different. Instead of finding each store in the “Shop” dropdown menu, you’ll get to them by visiting the Shops page and traveling to your shop of choice via the menu on the right. Here's a peek:

(This isn’t a Flash environment, just a regular page; you won’t be able to move around and chat, but it should load super quickly.)

Another new change: certain shops will cater to a more exclusive crowd, so brand new members may not see all the shops right away-- once they’re established Gaians, though, they’ll be able to unlock all the stores.

As always, we’d love to hear your feedback! Please stop by this thread and let us know what you think.
