Welcome to Gaia! ::

we like to join fantasy RP! thanks for making that. smile

Sad enough to do something about it?

Or just sad enough to lament and move on?

I just kinda fell off this guild because there were too many rules about how to set up my rps. It's not a bad thing but I kinda like a bit more freedom plus...well we should all know the rules by now, why is a list of the really needed? I've been a member of Gaia since 2005 so...yeah. Either way guilds are dying out. I own several of my own now and I can see it.

I run my own guilds these days and I rp there really. I'm just hoping for more active people that aren't these insolent newbs and children I see these days. I mean Gaia used to be pretty clean. If you've been on towns in recent years some people on there are nasty. Rude. Take your own pick of words. What I want is for Gaia to do something about it, about how badly this site is failing and falling. If they don't do something they're gonna lose old dedicated members. Half the people I know have left.
Not like the site can go back to the old days, there's no chance of that. Losing Zomg lost the site some people too. Plus the economy on here is in the toilet, pardon my phrasing but it is true. They need to correct it, start actually monitoring the site and not trying to churn out so many new items and limited chance items.
My rp style has improved since my last times posting here, I'm way better than I used to be and one of my best rps that used to sit in this guild no longer exists and I have no way to recover a copy of it now sadly. Anyway what I want is more active rpers as I said. My own guilds are quiet as well and I do doubt my rps would do any better here or in the forums. More active rpers would benefit the guilds. Plus if they even cared to actually do some sort of update to the guilds that might help as well. If something isn't done the guilds will be abandoned most likely. Another bit of Gaia will be gone and I will leave this site if it happens.

One lone voice is not enough to bring the problems to light. A single voice can be ignored by those who think themselves high above others. A single voice can do nothing but scream in the dark. It would take more than my voice alone to bring changes and I know it and thus I am unable to do more than point out problems to others, hoping they rally around me and will speak up with me. Humans are cowardly things though, horrible unfeeling creatures that do not listen to the plights of others nor truly care to raise their voices to cry out the wrongness of things. There are some that will but many don't.
My point is alone I can do nothing but with the voices of others something can be done. Of course I did hear something I'm not sure is true about people protesting gaian cash or something getting banned from the site. I heard it a while back. No idea of the truth of it, I don't buy into rumors. Never have.

I'm a writer too. I'm not just a rper. If they need a leader I'm not it. I'm no leader to be honest. Who knows how their minds work. Someone else will have to be said leader. I'm just a creator.

Uhuh. I'm just no leader but why would I sit on the sidelines? I post in the hopes of finding someone who has the ability to be a leader. I lack that ability, I know I do but when I see a post such as this I take the chance of posting in the hopes of finding a leader, someone much better at words and inspiring people than me. I search for someone to take charge and is that not doing something if not directly?

Some people say its gaia cash, others say its the messed up prices in the marketplace, some say that it was the lost of Zomg, others say items no longer have real value, and a few say that its gaia not caring enough to fix the issues. It could be all of these or none. I personally think that its the age group that gaia is offering its services now. Just like the concert thing, it also depends on the type of concert. Lets say the older generations who used to be more active either in guilds or in other areas of gaia got busy with real life or just didn't have enough time to go on as often or just gaia no longer gave them an incentive to be on, or even that they didn't see the point in spending real life money to have pixel money; Whatever the case may be gaia knew that it would lose some of these people in favor of a younger age group that could more influence in spending money. Gaia needed money or a better money source and geared stuff for them. Coupons, sales, constant items, recolors, and so forth. So people who felt unfair treatment or nor longer had a reason to stay left. The newer generation have different tastes and that leaves us with the gap of inactivity or different ideology in what to do on gaia. I understand what gaia did and had to do, but its still sad to see it in its current state.

Personal opinion: I think if this guild wants to thrive, then it either must change to fit the current in's or cut off the slack that's holds it back. "how much do you cut from the body to save the life of the body." Another possibility could be is do an wide advertise camping throughout gaia to catch new people and to make this place look active. Once activate rises slowly, then do events and whatnot. That way people will spread the word. I can not say that either of these ideas will save the guild or the guild will be as active when it was at its peak.

Everything depends on people willingness to get on really.
