Gaia Online

Gaia Online

Did you know pinoy gamers that Gaia Online started as an anime-themed forums-based website? Originally named “Go-Gaia”, it opened to the public on February 18, 2003 by Gaia Interactive. Gaia originally began as an anime linklist and eventually got itself a small community but after a statement by founder Derek Liu, the website moved towards social gaming. Users of the site, denominated as Gaians, create a customizable avatar and a customizable virtual home for which they can purchase equipable items using what is called Gaia Gold. This virtual currency is given to the users after engaging in some of the website activities, like playing a series of Flash games or the regular posting inside the forums; the site also rewards users everyday with random quantities of gold and items with the Daily Chance feature. In October of 2007, Gaia released a new kind of currency denominated as Gaia Cash that can be bought at Rite Aid or Target stores

Games

Gaia Online currently offers different Flash games. In most games, users can win different items or gold, the virtual currency, which may be exchanged for items. For example, in Gaia Fishing, users fish on the banks of various lakes and often catch anything from different fishes to garbage, these can be exchanged for fish-shaped hats and/or clothing made out of recycled garbage.

Gaia Battle

Gaia Online has announced it is developing an MMORPG where users will be able to battle monsters and participate in RPG style quests. The offical name of Gaia’s battle system will be chosen via a user contest. The game will utilize special rings to simulate abilities. While a sub-forum for the battle system has been established, the official release date has not been announced kaya kita kits nalang mga Gaians.

Fishing

One of our favorite is fishing; you just buy baits with different grades to choose from and of course fishing rod which you can upgrade. Sa katulad ko na mahilig mangisda eh magugustuhan niyo to, lalo na kapag naka punta kayo sa map na yung isda maliliksi if you know what I mean.

Rally

On June 18, 2007, Gaia Online and Scion announced a partnership that allowed users to create virtual Scions, with customizable wheels, decals, fog lights, tail lights, and spoilers, and race and display them to other users in a Adobe Flash game called Gaia Rally. Other cars that came with the game are the fake Possum, and Musculero. They are also customizable but have much fewer accessories then the Scion. In this game users are able to race their cars in a simple track. Clicking the left mouse button beckons the car to move, gradually increases the speed. Numerous obstacles appear in the road for one to overcome, such as cows, UFOs, ramps and zombies.
