Kaine Lowingrad Taigaa-tono Kaine Lowingrad Taigaa-tono What does that mean?
gonk
Can't we go one arc without me having to find a way to kill someone off?! scream Well..
It means:
Mother will have a job, the same one she's had for 16 years, and she can continue to afford luxuries such as internet
Or
She loses her job because they want fresh meat that knows s**t about what they're suppose, and will probably hurt the company in the end more than they've helped. That's... I'm sorry to hear that. Being with my family, I've kind of gotten use to this news
-bows-
Thank you, Taigaa I'm sorry to hear that too, I'll be praying for you and your family. Taigaa, is that the MC?

xDemonhornzx 1499 Gaia Cash...TOO MUCH! Agreed. Gaia needs to freakin treat its players better or up the rewards for the games, because all these prices are absolutely bogus.

What people fail to realize is that Gaia is a business. No matter what services it provides, no matter how playful this environment way seem, Gaia Interactive Inc. is a business. Likewise, that business has employees that get salaries, and bills that must be paid for, such as for their servers, electricity, plumbing, and I'm sure there's some sort of rent type thing they have to pay for their headquarters, provided they don't already own the building.
With that said, because it is a business just like any other, it is being affected by the recession, especially because users like us are paying less and less due to various reasons ranging from a smaller allowance to not being able fit pixels into their monthly budget. In turn, they lose money and must raise prices to fit their company's revenue and such. I see far too many people publicly complaining about this issue when the fact of the matter is, Gaia is doing nothing different than other companies. Why the jump from $10 to $15, you may ask? Well it's simple; Gaia doesn't sell 100 different menu items like McDonalds does, so they can't simply raise prices by a few cents, they have to go higher. It's the same deal with their ads; they need money to support themselves, their families, and most importantly, to keep popping out new things every few days or so to keep people happy. Well, not everyone, because some people get a taste of one good item that THEY like and expect everything therein to measure up to that standard. But that's another story.
This isn't meant to be a personal assault on anyone, and I realize I may sound bias considering my family, but I speak the truth. So... consider that.

Well, I myself was just remarking on the fact that 1499 is the highest i've seen the price myself. I have never paid real money for Gaia Cash, I just do free offers. I've got 1300 on me.

I'm not talking about the Gaia Cash. That's fine, most of the stuff they sell for Gaia Cash doesn't usually peek grand interests anyway, but the Gaia Gold stuff, which is free, is just so ridiculous!
I don't mind paying for my stuff when it comes to Gold, but when they sponsor the best items for billions of Gold and, at best, the most you earn from any of the games is between 500 - 1,000, it tends to tick me a little bit.
I understand its a business, that people are paid to work this stuff, but you also got to think of the customers when it comes to this stuff. The prices they have and the methods which to earn the Gold, aren't very realistic in my opinion.
I have no real qualms or praise when it comes to Gaia Cash, except that I think it's stupid to spend real money on stuff that technically doesn't exist. Not saying ill against anyone who does spend cash, but if something happens to Gaia or to your account in general, all the money, basically, just went down the tubes for nothing.

Ichi, if she buys you one, I be surprised rofl Demon: I would be surprised as well...and my problem is in reverse stare There is stuff I would love to have, but the only way to get them is to go through hours and hours and hours of selling and playing games, which just isn't realistic for people like me who have full time jobs... arrow Anna or Taigaa: Is there anything not confidential that can be told about this new faction? If you gave us a lil detail, maybe someone here would be more inclined to play them?
