Malaryush Peppermint Elf Malaryush Peppermint Elf I'm assuming everyone got an invitation to try out the beta of Gaia Towns and that's why it's so damn laggy. stare I didn't get one as Fomite, so I switched over here and had one. I imagine it'll be too laggy for me to use, but I'll give it a go. surprised It's weird. Both me AND Swirly got invites. Neither of us can log in. stare I was able to get in without any real problems. It was pretty slow, but what isn't slow with dial-up? I was able to move around for a little bit, but then I wasn't. I took a handful of screenshots before I got bored and closed it, anyway. I'll see if I can upload them somewhere. *cries* cry

Mala, they are asking that we not distribute screenshots or too much info.

I saw an image of a girls backside facing Ian, though. e_e
I think it went missing after a friend shown it to me. <<, >>

There's a theory that if you donated last month you can get an invite.

Musuu There's a theory that if you donated last month you can get an invite. I figured donation was part of it. Swirly doesn't have a house, he was created in 04 and he gets donated to every month (as do I).

It's not really all that exciting so far. There are no other people to interact with, just NPCs that skitter to and fro, occasionally spewing out emoticons. I played with the animated emoticons for a minute or so, then I was pretty much finished. sweatdrop Once there are other people there to chat with, I imagine it could be pretty fun. Removed the screenshots after I saw Stream's post. sweatdrop Somehow, I missed that.

There does seem to be a tendency for people with early start dates, high post counts, and regular donation habits to get it.

I saw a screenshot of the Log In screen but then it was deleted.
I heard people can get in even though they weren't invited by a leaked URL.

Streamjumper Yeah, they mentioned the "leak" bit in the Towns Beta forum. Yeah, I figured and found that after your post. I suppose I should've guessed they wouldn't want screenshots out. Although it seems like they might have included that in the PM instead of putting it in the forum, since they indicate the forum as a place to go to report bugs or discuss the Towns -- which one probably wouldn't do until after one had already checked the Towns out. sweatdrop

Congratulations to all of you who got an invite, by the way! Seems like the future of gaia is in good hands.
