Gaia online

This used to be funny when Gaia was actually relevant, todays zoomers have probably never even heard of Gaia

op here/ was gaia a real agme or was it just a larp forum? my friends sister told me about it and i literally only used the forums and avatars to larp

>all these people admitting to using gaia

I feel like im in 2008, fucking gaiafags need to get out

>gaiafags are now oldfags
holy shit 2013 INFESTED this place with newfags.
if you came after 2013 to this website you can kindly neck yourself because you are the cancer that killed Yea Forums

It had a fishing minigame, and I think they developed an RPG game based using their town system, if I remember rightly.

it used to be big, but they fucked up the economy by wanting more irl money since the site wasn't making them any good revenue, and the site's plagued with shit similar to lootboxes in a way.

Hey guys let's play gaia online and go fishiiiiIIIIIIIIIIING

that nostalgia hit when I went back to view my and my friends profile pages

>check friend's profile
>they were just online yesterday
>tfw you just barely missed reconnecting with them

i still use it, im sad no one else does anymore and that towns 1 is deserted

wut people actually play it?

>towns 1 is deserted
this was a real stab in the chest for me. I miss walking around and seeing all the cosplay accounts and other people shitting around, then meeting up with your own group and roasting randoms that would walk by

So, oldfags who bitched and moaned about gaiafags invading Yea Forums and ruining it:

Do you still think this, or have you switched boogymen? Did you keep with the seasonal boogymen (reddit, discord, resetera), or did you settle on one?

I found it funny how the economy crashed so fucking hard you could sell literal dyes for millions and those dark blue flowers for 500k a pop
What the fuck utterly happened to make it that way
I know they tried to patch it by making platinum coins which just lowers the number for illusion

They're all valid boogeymen because they all attract the same kinds of faggots

>tfw walking into random houses to see people cybering by just crouching up and down really fast
>tfw they tell me to get out but I just hide under the leave icon and watch them
a lot of the time it wasn't even their house

TFW virtual hangouts like habbo or gaiaonline have been replaced by boring shit like social media and discord type apps

Why don't zoomers play this shit anymore? You'd think as new kids get on the internet they'd get a constant flow of new users but all these places are pretty dead these days and will probably be dead not too long from now.

There's no need for virtual hangouts with avatars you can dress up when people use social media where they post actual pictures and videos of themselves. Putting a device with a camera and an internet connection in the hands of every child was a mistake.

ZOMG was peak gaia online and you all know this

Oh yeah, the death of anonymity, pretty good explanation I suppose

I long for the days where Gaia and Live Journal were the ultimate boogiemen.

EvaXephon fuckoff

Discord's really no different from AIM, MSN, or YIM. I used to use AIM chatrooms all the time as a kid. Vanity social media sites though I can give you.

I thought the Gaia shopkeepers were pretty cute it's a shame there isn't a lot of porn tbqh

>Discord's really no different from AIM, MSN, or YIM
No, it really is. Discord is a fucking cancer on a whole other level. It's really strange what it does to people. I don't think the name is a coincidence.

Fucking gaiafags

In what way? Pedophiles and faggots lurked and groomed in AIM chats too.

It's not just the pedophilia. I guess it's how social media has affected chat programs. The way people act on discord is unnerving. I don't know how to explain it. The porn obsession is one thing that creeps me out. Every single discord server around has a fucking porn channel for some reason.

We grew up and don't define ourselves by whatever site we browsed more than a decade ago you fucking fag, besides Gaia wasn't all bad
>a mountain of nudes from girls when I was a teenager just from talking to them

what really sucks is that the level of character customization is amazing but to get anything you have to shellout too much money

>The porn obsession is one thing that creeps me out.
Then why are you posting here

>mfw have had my Gaia account since 2003 and have logged on on and off since

I enjoy porn, but the current obsession with it is unhealthy. The problem exists here too. Half of the threads on Yea Forums at any time are softcore porn dumps, hentai games, or gachashit that people only play because it gets their dick hard.

porn obsession has been a big thing online for decades, if anything it's actually calming down or at least being quashed by corporations

That's really not that different from AIM either, or popular forums from 10-15 years ago like Gaia, as this fag points out, or Livewire, Chat Roulette, or Omegal. The internet has always been a hub for collecting porn.

Discord's new sure but in the end it's an old format wrapped in a new skin.

based. Pic related was always my go to but I can’t even find an original artwork of her besides the Christmas outfit

it was a larp forum that also had games on it

Gaiafags have been replaced with ResetERA/Discord trannies and redditors. It's the same but worse.

I'm more of a Moira guy myself.

Reddit replaced Gaia, Reseteratrannies replaced Live Journal.

what did the z mean? I remember it as zombie but idk

All of them need to go back.

>start dating a girl who this autist was fawning over
>he changes his gaia profile and puts a picture of my avatar with my head exploding on it
>mentions in his gaia journal thing he was severely depressed
Sorry Jeremy, it wasn't personal

>online
>larp
Learn what that word means you fucking normalnigger tourist retards

NO. THAT IS NOT HOW YOU PLAY THE GAME.

>tfw hung around the sonic and phoenix wright roleplay groups

I miss the autism.

Gaia died when Tektek died. Nothing was more fun than theorizing stupid shit to wear and then chasing those outfit goals.

>those days when you told newfags to go back to Gaia
Fuck it's been awhile

I never really got into Gaia but I loved Tektek. I would spend hours building all my shitty gay little characters on it.

>getting paid for drawing art
I miss Gaia's art community more than anything else. Met so many good friends there, and the bazaar-like atmosphere made business so easy. It was fun bullshitting with people about donut steels, now everyone just hides on paymetreon going BEEP BOOP INSERT DOLLARS RECEIVE TIDDIES. There's no socializing in it.

fucking newfags

>not playing ace attorney online

this, there's so many fucking items now I have no idea what exists so going back always feels like being in over your head

>used Gaia Online back in 2003
fuck the feels

Same.
My account was actually hacked during the big take down cause the meme stealing but the mods ended up giving me my account back

You mean when Gaia and Yea Forums had it out because Gaia was selling lolcats and other meme merchandise? That was such a spergfest and a real starting point of things to fucking come.

I'll never forget, never forgive

My cringe page from years and years ago is still up and I can't delete it because I dont remember the account anymore. What do

Learn to suffer and hope your enemies never find it.

they did fuckers hired a pi firm

>wasted all that time on some shit NOBODY wanted

I used to play a lot of Maplestory. It had a cool hangout place but now it's empty. Damn zoomers.

Admit it user. Were you stupid enough to use the haircut coupon? I was.

I came here from Gaia in 2005 rofl

Psh real niggas used the Gavsim.

>2013
Nigger if you came in 2007 or later you’re a perpetual newfag

>gaiafags invading Yea Forums and ruining it:
>newfags actually think this

>2007
If you weren't here before 2005 you are the 12 year old cancer that killed this site.

I've been here since 4channel was created, kiddo

I've been here since world2ch you dweeb

it will probably only exist a few more years

>Sausage

>Gaia fags are itoddlers
never would have guessed

Fuck still remember the fishing bot written in Python and the slot machine bot .

you mean auto sage?
