What We Require From Gaia Online

Most people believe the point of this website is to shut down Gaia Online. While it would certainly please us a lot, there are indeed other ways around it. Nothing would be easier than starting to improve Gaia Online. And here is how:

First, Gaia MUST stop accepting cash by mail and ask for parental or tutor agreement for money orders. I KNOW this will make them lose a lot of money but it’s the number one concern against children.

Second, Gaia should really start adding content. It’s almost ridiculous that they perpertually delay new conten without any advice. More specifically, they should put a calendar of upcoming items, and respect it. 

Third– and this is the main point — Gaia should go much softer on bans. First, there should ALWAYS be a real investigation before any kind of bans. We understand that there are people that deserve to be banned, but this should always be after all other options have been envisaged. There should be temporary bans first and permanent bans only after the offender has been throughfully warned. There should also be ”Last Chance” warning before a complete ban is initiated, and the ban should be by IP too.

Four, Gaia Online must take more severe measures against pedophiles. They already warn users about scam, but children abuse should be their priority, not just a lost cause somewhere in their ToS.

 

5th, Gaia should make the 5$ advertising in their shop buyable by gold and not real money.

 

6th, Gaia should stop selling gold, or at least sell it at a better price so you don’t need to empty your pocket just to get gold. 1$/5000$ would already be better.

 

7th, Gaia should stop putting so much pressure. We KNOW they have new monthly items, but it’s not a reason to put it on every single page.

 

8th, remove the 1,49$ surcharge for payment by mail.

 

9th, make severe penalties for flaming, trolling and stupid posts. Have negative gold cause you to lose items and even be banned from forums (until you pay your debts)

 

10th (or however you say it), limit the number of accounts a single IP can have to 10.

 

11th, make gold penalties over time much more sever. For example, after one hour, the gold income should be reduced to almost 0 for all actions, until you have stopped playing for 1 complete hour. After four cumulated daily hours of playing, gold income should be negative for every action you do.

 

12th, put the PG13 warning on the main page and clearly visible at registering.

 

13th, change the marketing plan and stop directing it at children. 

 

UPDATE November 12: Gaia Online actually removed the surchage for mail orders! Incredible, one down, 12 to go!

    Dude why don’t you go look at gaia? They promise things now and they give it. You don’t know shit about gaia. They now have a ton of things making them more better. Stop your rants and try seeing things from gaia’s point of view. You say you work with ChaosProgramming who are charging people to hack a site that is meant to be a place for people to have fun? What kind of low down fucktards are you? You complain about gaia yet your the real scum. Charging for a program that breaks the rules of gaia. Your scaming the people of gaia by supplying them with something that will get them banned and your charging them REAL money. Before you complain about gaia try complaining about yourselves you fucking retards.

    Pshh… That gold thing is STUPID!
    Almost everyone plays for more than one hour, and trying to restrict it is STUPID!
    what if you are off school sick and you have nothing better to do?
    what if your parents say its O.K to play for two hours?? Oh, and to the guy that got more than a million for $10.. Can you tell me what you did?
    Because that is a BARGAIN!
    Lulz.

    Someone did something extraordinarily stupid and had to whine about it. If you haven’t noticed, a lot of this stuff is ridiculous. When your readers pass your typos and study, we see that you were clearly banned for doing something not PG-13 and you’re angry because you spent a lot of money on the site, probably because you were addicted, which is becoming a psychological problem for all online games, not just Gaia, and it’s not Gaia’s fault anyway. I see that you were lured by the monthly items. While they only advertise the monthly item on the news blinker on the homepage and on the “Monthly Item” page, I’m going to guess one of the two got you. Gaia is not tough on bans. They do thoroughly investigate. I should know - I’m the one that reports at least two stupid flamers a day and I’m prompty contacted by a mod who thoroughly checks the situation. They respond within a day or two - sometimes as little as hours. Those people are warned and watched. They already slow the flow of gold to people as they post. I don’t know where you were for that. A lot of kids are on it and it’s their parents’ responsibility to protect them, just like your mommy and daddy are in charge of filtering your Google so you can’t search for “boobies” on the image section. I know you’re angry because you were caught being naughty, but that’s why there are Terms of Service, kiddo. Also, Gaia doesn’t care about your site. They already have responsible, ToS-abiding users who make suggestions to them on the *gasp* suggestion board that they look into. They use the money well and the site is very well kept. I mean, you could always go to that anti-American Roliana bullshit . . . but anyway, get over it. It’s the internet. If you let yourself get angry over everything you find on the internet, you’ll die of a heart attack. So be the bigger man, take down this stupid site and get on with life knowing you’re not going to live your life answering to kids whining over other kids that called them gay.

    Barbara, lurk moar and do your research. Gaia doesn’t CARE about their users, just like they don’t CARE about anything except the denero they keep getting from idiots paying for pixels.

    It’s ironic that an admitted ToS violator (you’re a botter dude, you admit you’re creating bots to knowingly violate the rules of a site) complains about harsh bans and investigations.

    Honestly sometimes i agree with u but sometimes i dont. Gaia must put some addicting drug in it because i cant stop playing. Ive been playing for 3 years (i know its sad) today i ran into 2 admin. I know alot. I met them in towns. I acted like myself. Spazzy and i stalked them. I agree that gaia can suck but its odd how can u take down gaia they are huge while ur so very tiny.
