I thought it was fun, but after Booty Grab came about, coupled with horrible overuse of paid RIGs, the whole economy just exploded and everything was expensive as heck. I was also let down by zOMG a few months prior; it wasn't as fun as I wanted it to be. Shortly after, I joined the Trisphee beta and Gaia just wasn't holding my interest anymore.

Yeah, that's about how things went for me as well. Booty Grab was fun at first, but then it became apparent that there was absolutely NO balance there and that the economy was heading for some severe inflation. I really enjoyed zOMG for quite a while -- it was enough to actually bring me back to Gaia after I'd left for a long time -- but the game balance was kinda wonky and the momentum petered out after a while, and then there weren't any updates for the longest time.

Wow, weird. I was one of the first users on Ernya. I believe my user number was 47.

Crysandrea closing broke my fucking heart. I still get choked up thinking about my days on Solia. And now? I have this account, which I hardly use.

Way back when, I was thrilled to beta test Triphe. It's so strange... thinking of all the time I spent in this other world. There are all these friendships which blossomed and then faded. And for what? Pixelated items and conversation. This community is a beautiful thing. It helped me get through middle school, including my parent's divorce. Love and light to everyone here.

i guess we are different. crysnadrea closing was a small relief for me, of course there was noone who could confuse my feelings towards pixeltweak and tea, hahahaha the outright thievery and lack of professionalism on that site! (frankly there were items on that site that i still have not been paid for)

Wow I have been apart of too many sites closing, either due to poor management or just lack of interest in general. I didn't even realize the site had closed down.

Booty grab and zomg. Those were some good memories. XD

I love this place. And I'm excited to see where this place goes! <3 <3 <3

poggio is like a club-kid who survived the drugs XD living long enough to see all the old haunts disappear

The main reason that I left gaia was because of some drama. I just needed a break and a fresh start. XD

And now it's so damn big it's hard to enjoy it. >_<
Everything is a bajillion gold and even the simplest things are worth way too much. *grumps about*
I used to love that place.

i lost love for gaia years ago, though if you like dressup they have your fix

True.
And if you like to have conversations with idiots who talk down to you even though your over ten years their senior. >___<

your own fault for being older than 16 XD

HOW DARE I!?

I went in there and started to talk to someone about my own personal religion. He claimed to be of the same religious persuasion then started grilling me and claiming that I wasn't really what I claimed to be because I wasn't exactly like him and I didn't know all the things he knew.

That was the last time I left for Ernya. No one ever badgered me and simply had beautiful conversations.
This place is even more chill. I feel like I could talk about almost anything without being worried about how I'd be treated.

eryna is not so kind to me but i agree on here at least X''D tris is pretty darn chill X'''D of course we are kinda lazy excepting galla who is wound like a key flipping dog hahahaha

Does Galla even sleep? O__o

I'm beginning to doubt it.
