Here is a list of the most frequently asked questions and their answers.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------




Q: I got a PM asking for my password. Is it real?

Q: How do I change my username, gender, or birthday?

A: My Gaia --> Account --> Signature

A: Quests are announced whenever a new one is available. To see the past quests go to the Announcements to find old ones, however quests are only available for a short period of time and will be disabled eventually. To find a list of active quests check here. Some people mistake the gaia quests with user quests. Occasionally when someone talks about a quest they mean an item they are saving up their gold to buy. You can make a quest thread in the Charity/Quests forum and make a quest bar at http://www.tektek.org/questbar/
