Welcome to Gaia! ::

Of course there is a Dark Gaia. Everybody knows that. Dark Gaia is like Anti-Fairy World in the Fairly Oddparents. All the hackers offer you free gold, all the password scammers offer you their passwords, the moderators spam your inbox with porn so that you can post reports about it in the forums and each month Gaia donates to you in order to compensate for the continual frustration of artificial deflation.

Every day each item is worth less than it was yesterday, and people make fun of all the n00bs who can't even offload their Angelic Halos anymore.

Site Feedback venerates the Gaia developers and other staff members as they rapidly try to increase the frequency of sushi database errors for the enjoyment of all.

GTFO stands for "G'day, Try our Free Octopus" and is generally used in salutation rather than dismissal.

The Terms of Service are not only read by all users, but re-read religiously every rest day in case of an update, edit or sometimes purely for leisure.

Unfortunately the Battle System has not been completed in Dark Gaia just like it hasn't been completed in the real Gaia. However, the admins have made previews of it available on eBay.

Everyone mocks you for trying to type out full words - the highest echelons of Gaia's society are filled with people who turn caps lock on randomly, only use punctuation to confuse you, avoid the use of vowels like the plague, insert numbers in the place of letters when you least expect it and only use the dictionary so that they can reach their keyboards.

You lose gold the more you surf around. Tens of thousands of botters have recently been banned for abusing the system. They were found automatically refreshing pages so as to reach bankruptcy faster than any other users, then exploiting a glitch which allowed the system to swallow their inventories as well. However, the public's reaction to finally discovering a way to get rid of a Halo led to a massive "Anti Fair Banning" campaign in which the masses pleaded for the botters to be unbanned so that Gaians could trade them their hard-to-sell items have offload them as well.

Dark Gaia is, like, totally the best hangout on the internet.
