Go back, as in, gb2gaia
I miss online hang out places.
Man I used to be all into that. I remember having to physically mail money to the developer to get coins or whatever the fuck the point system was. I got over Gaia Online when they started shilling the Scion xB and implemented the theater, thought I was too old for that shit and found Second Life and learned about Any Forums from SL. What a Rollercoaster of mistakes.
Anyone remember zOMG?
a forum with an avatar you can dress up

Gaia being a "game" has always been a misconception. It had flash games to play (added later on in its life), but it was first and foremost a forum where you could earn gold by interacting people and buy items to customize your avatar.
The site was really cool when it first started ('03 fag here) but my god did it shit the bed around the 2010's. Just like everything else.
Use the forums, go into one of the server rooms to chat with people, and roleplay in guilds. It was really enjoyable at the time.
we can never go back
lately i have not been handling that fact very well
Harry Potter leakers preferred to leak on Gaia Online so if you were a Harry Potter fan, Gaia Online was the place to be.
Despite intense international security, the entire text of ‘‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’’ has been leaked on the Internet, four days before its official release at 12:01 a.m. Saturday.
Photographs of what appears to be every page of the 784-page book were posted Tuesday on several file-sharing sites and then posted openly as photos on Internet pages. In the photos, the book is held open on a carpet with one hand. Some of the text is blurry, but most of it —including the ending and the fate of the main character — is clearly legible.
Tuesday’s events underscore the intense anticipation that has been building toward the seventh and final novel in J.K. Rowling’s huge-selling series about the boy from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Fans have been speculating for years about how it will all end: Does Harry live or die?
Lawyers for Scholastic, the series’ US publisher, have subpoenaed a file-sharing site called Gaiaonline.com, asking for the name of the person who had posted the text on that site, and Gaia had turned over the name and removed the photos, according to Bloomberg News. But the photos remained available last night on several other sites.
‘‘We knew as we got closer to the publication date, more and more people would go to greater lengths’’ to compromise the secrecy of the novel, said Lisa Holton, Scholastic’s president of trade publishing and book fairs. She downplayed the revelations, saying there are several versions of a leaked text circulating on the Web, and that they contradict one another. ‘‘Most of the websites that these have appeared on, we have asked them to take them down, and a majority have been cooperative.’’

wew, the economy got annihilated
I remember that being the only thing worthwhile people were looking forward to. It being browser based was a warning but it was okay as long as they made something enjoyable. The hype after release kind of went away and after six months to a year I remember people being disappointed that they never built on it or made it a downloadable game. It had vibes that reminded me of Ragnarok Online/.hack in terms of the art style they were going for so I enjoyed that but wished it was in a game that was appreciated.

No, Barnes & Noble was the place to be if you wanted Harry Potter book spoilers kek.
They even enacted harsh austerity measures by introducing a new currency system to fight devauluation. It's called platinum now if I recall correctly. I never really stuck on other than to log in for some of its new currency every few months or so.
>is this a game? What the hell could you even do here?
>using glowy terms
lmao
It's too bad zuckerberg killed all future avatar chat rooms gen alpha and beta would have enjoyed, they could have gotten smellovision technology.
For years on end they had "gold generators" that would grant you an absolutely insane amount of gold in exchange for real money (mobile MTX style). This whole endeavor completely assraped the economy and it was one of the site's biggest fuckups.
