Gaian History -

I joined in November of 2003, thans to a friend of a friend who showed me the website at anime club. I mainly hung around ED and GD; the Exchange scared me so much that when I decided I wanted a pair of fox ears, I sent the gold to my IRL friend Zach who joined right after I did, and he bought them for me. My first outfit that I remember having set up was fox ears/tail, the long lime green skirt, and emo glasses.

Eventually I got tired of the fox crap, went to sell it back to the store, and realised how low it sold back for T.T So I decided to hit the Exchange. Being there was a whole other world for me; I fell in love almost instantly, and not just with the atmosphere ^^; I wanted DJ Headphones, which at the time were going for just over 100k. That seemed a bit out of reach, though, so Zach decided to Quest for minis instead, and so we made a thread in the Exchange (of course, this was back when quest threads were allowed in the Exchange). I still have my banner I made for it actually xd

Now, you see, at this time (Dec 03), minis were going for about 40k, and me and Zach skrimped and saved so much. By the time we each had around 40k, minis were up to 80 gonk So, we decided to quit. I bought myself a Devil Tail for 30k, an AFK for 4.5k, and a Sealed December letter for 2.5k, the best investments I've ever made. Zach I think bought Fairy Wings >>;

In any case, that it was really got me started on Exchanging. I sold my Dec for more when the opened, and then I really started buying low and selling high, well, with little stuff anyway xd I got an Angelic Sash when they were around 70k or so, and then finally selling both that and my Devil Tail and other small stuff, I finally bought my mini wings for 300k pure.

After that, I kind of laid low in the Exchange. I didn't really have any friends on Gaia except a couple friends IRL that were also on Gaia, like Zach, so I mainly spent my time lurking and bumping. A random guy IMs one time and after talking for some time, he tells me he's leaving Gaia and decided to leave me his inventory, including a Sash, OMG, and a bunch of commons. I sold the OMG to Zach for cheap since he was questing, sold all the commons, and traded my Sash for a Devil Tail because I missed mine xd

Somewhere around here, I decided to use my account (Takano Mai) as a mule, and I created a new account for myself, The DOminatrix of the Stuff. Over the next few much that changed to Sakurada Miwako, to Chi-Chian, and now to Priestess Lucia.

Anyway, after the account change, I started off and on questing for DJs. I talked in the Exchange a lot more, and made some good friends. This went on for a good few months. I seemed to have lost my Exchangign skills (if I ever had any), but I had a good time.

However, this is when Gaia seemed to be going really downhill, and a lot of the friends I made were leaving and some such. It depressed me, a lot, combined with some other issues involving my DJ Quest, I decided to go on hiatus from Gaia, and probably leave for good. This was around October of '04. I was gone for a good month, but without Gaia I was slowly going insane, so I came back.

I just kept doing what I've always done, though I became more pissed at Gaia in general and I finally and for good gave up the DJs. A friend of mine named Embyrr was unjustly banned and I had planned on giving my Minis to her to make up for the items that she lost, and then I was going to sell the rest of my items and start a Charity.

Well, some of that worked.

She refused to accept the Minis ^^; It made me sad, since I really had no idea what to do with them then, since I really didn't want to sell them. I was talking to my good friend Aquafire about it, and Aqua being the awesome person that she is, gave me a Sept '03 and Oct '03 letter, which pushed me over the edge to getting my DJs, even letting me keep 2 Devil Tails, one to still wear since I'd die if I had to go without it, and the other to sell to gain funds for the Charity.

Ah, my Charity. I suppose that, as the say, the hottest flame burns the shortest. I gave away a Devil Tail's worth of donation letters and other items, only to have giftwrapping shut down soon after ._.;; My Charity went on (and still is on) hiatus until giftwrapping is back up.

Nowadays I spend my time chatting and lurking in the Exchange, and semi-questing for a new pair of minis (even though I know I'll eevr get them x.x)

EVIL History -

I didn't lump this in with the rest, since it makes sense for it to be in a different part (with this being the EVIL guild and all), and also because even though I remember the events that happened, I can't remember the time frame. My memory is weird ^^;

Anyway, I saw the EVIL thread in teh Exchange when Araunah first opened it, and I posted, voicing my support of his ideas and methods. I got to talking with both him and other members, and started hanging around the thread a lot, eventually gaining a board position as Araunah's personal secretary xd

Though, there really wasn't much a point to me being there ^^; Everyone was busy doing stuff, and I just kind of flopped around D: While people were working and updating prices, I was flirting with Araunah xd I stuck around through some of the debacle with the EVIL sticky position, but then I just realised I was just wasting everyone's time there and didn't come back. Sometime after, I changed my name.

I didn't really have anything to do with EVIL at all after that. I used the guide, but that's about it xd It wasn't until recently that I was hanging around a thread of Leti's in the Exchange that she invited me to come here to the guild ^^;

Woo for posting so much xd *collapses and goes to get a drink of water*

domokun thingies

i was thinking--
ummmmmm--
a suggiey

looks like this

I'll post it later

hmmm...I guess mine started like when I was using a pc to escape life in my late teen from high school, (Mines is the worse in chicago,) and a friend from yahoo told me about gaia and then I decided to join up.

It seemed interesting at first and I grew on into it. I asked questions and posted as best as I can, trying not to make a bad impression. Then when I saved up enough for my first quest, a kitty outfit, the gaia crash of 03' happen and I lost my item, but quickly regain it xp

After that, I have been on gaia off and on, but it was usually a lot on the weekends due to bordum and having nothing else better to do. My only friends were on gaia and it was something nice than the blunders of not going to a good high school. So I tried to save up for better items as well as donate to gaia. I was able to donate after I got a school job in Gallery 37.

Then it was the rise in prices for November and December items as well as being involved in a love triangle that ended up messy. Both men played gaia and I knew them off of yahoo, so it was sort of tense when I seen them online and what not. After not being able to buy letters for Nov. and Dec. 03' and the tension of school and my ACT, I quit gaia for a while, but then came back in march 04' Things were getting back to normal, even after selling off my jans. and making the charity of a jan for a may letter, gaia was fun again and a good escape. I tried to donate at least every month.

Then, I graduated from high school and the problems happened again with people pressuring me to go to college. My mom lost her place and I couldn't go on gaia much staying over my Aunt's house. I made some friends then, but I had my own issues.

I played gaia off and on then, but it was a lot less; mostly to look at guilds and what not. I joined some time after I graduated and DLASTBIRD opted me in and I still thank him to this day. After I got sick in december, I didn't play gaia for more months, and then after another messy love triangle between my friends liking me, I finally sorted out my issues and came back on gaia from a new account. So I have been on gaia for about over two years and been here for about some months now, maybe half a year now domokun

Currently trying not to stress over the gaia image thing and get the hottest items and what not. Basically I am taking it easy.

Looks much better

Geez, please quit from whining and begging. You're irritating me. Life on Gaiaonline isn't all about the spotlight, buddy.

no crap, if it was there would be all kinds of gaians dead.
