how I does gaia online?

Journal Entry: Fri Apr 25, 2008, 12:14 AM
more help, please?

I just made an account on gaia online. my username is alien corn because some other things were taken. not alien corn for real, but the alien corn from the very excellent keats poem about a nightingale.

how do I use gaia? there are so many people on there and so much stuff to do. it's like going to beijing for the first time.

Heh. You basically run around and act like an idiot. It can be fun.

Lol nice analogy. True, though. X'D

Uhm, post on forums. Play games [my computer hates games thus I don't play games]. Uuuuh buy clothes? I'm kinda ditching it atm cause of APs and shiz but uuuuuh mostly the whole point of gaia is gold. Much like capitalism. :D

I imagine eventually you'll find yourself in the [url=[link] and Commissions[/url] forum - that's where everyone sells or auctions their art. You could also hit the [url=[link] Discussion[/url] forum where people "discuss" art ... well, everywhere it's a fine line between serious conversation and general flamery.

I was cured all right.

Well, meander the forums and figure out what you like on there...

There is a great artists and art collectors groups on there. XD

And a place to show your work, finished or while your working on it to get feedback. =3

So, just explore the fourms and figure out your interests and which ones you like being in best.

Also there are guilds with more private forums that are interest based.

Aaannd, lots of games and movies on there too, but those and the gaia towns are fun after you have a few friends to run around with you. =3

If you want to get (internet-)rich really fast on Gaia, do commissions for Gaia Gold in the Minishops -> Requests and Commissions forum.

Because you're really good, I'd say don't let anyone try to tell you to go under 100k, unless you're doing like quick sketches or something. xD;
But if you're doing one of your beautiful CG works, then yeah, don't let people mark you down. I advise you check out the prices of other shops and get a feel for the price to quality ratio.

Err, if you want gold and stuff.

But it is a lot of REAL time spent drawing for fake money that doesn't help you in the real world. That's a big draw back. xD; I find the need for real money outweighs the appeal of drawing for Gaia gold now.

But if you do end up taking Gaia commissions, you know, just drop me a line, lol.

Gaia's a blackhole of life suckingness!! I actually have no real clue how people get money because I crazy cheeeeated and had pimped out friends who gave me hella shit and got illegal gold ;D For some reason I can't bring myself to draw for gaia fake money at all. The concept destroys my mind. But now you can just buy gaia cash straight from the cash shop and buy lots of shit through paypal at the cash shop so I do that a lot too.

My goal on gaia is to have fabulous avatars all the time. ALL THE TIME.

I just go there to pimp out my avatar. Like what the above said, you can get gold fast by doing commissions. But don't get undercharged! Drawings of your skill is definitely over 100k in gaia gold.

You could also play pinball in the game section :] That shit is fun.
