Gaia Online, also reffered to as
Gaia (
Guy-uh), is the world's fastest growing online social media community. It's a forum based website with some gaming aspects. You gain "gold" for everything you do on the site, from clicking links, to posting. You use this gold to purchase clothing, and items for your
avatar. Which represents you on the boards.
It's an addicting site, which will consume your life! Currently, in the beta testing phases. It as of now contains three games and a '
Gaia Towns' feature. A
fishing game, in which you catch fish and exchange them for fish related items for your custom avatar or 'avi'. The second game is called Slots, it is a casino game in which you match up symbols such as wings or halos to win tokens that can be sold or traded in for prizes. The last game is Cards, it is basicly black
jack... you play against 3 different characters, one at a time. In the
Gaia Towns you walk around and visit
people's houses along with picking up trash, flowers and catching bugs you can also
chat within towns. The trash, flowers, and bugs can be traded in for ink, bouquets, and paper hats to customize your avi!
