1) The Halloween Event.
-The action moves along nicely- I think they've found a good balance between the tedium of waiting too long and getting blown away by spammers. It felt brisk enough without being unmitigated.
- Giving the option of races and specific items is a great way to appeal to different tastes in addition to the rather attractive trick-or-treat items.
- Including the RPG elements of health, energy, exp, and abilities is pure crack. I am something of an addict and immediately had to max out my level. It was easy to want to do since new and useful abilities were opened up at a nice pace. That's smart game-building.
- New skins, for free. I think it's great that newbies and those without dough rolling out their ears can alter their appearance.
2) Back Alley Bargains
-The store owner is a sexy man in a sheep costume.
Damnit, I love this store.
-Many of the items have been on petitions and request lists for years. I am tremendously pleased with the Gaia staff for releasing them at a very low price and making them all so nice to look at. Layering seems a bit funny, but there are tons of great new items.
3) Cinemas
-Still getting new full-length, free movies. Add a built in chat to share with your friends and this is a great feature for a movie buff like me. I don't get a lot of time to watch what's up, but I love that it's there and i've seen some really good stuff through Gaia. Cinemas introduced me to MushiShi, which is one of the best anime i've ever seen, and now avidly collect. It made me feel my time on this site is somehow more valid.
I made this journal because i'm pretty annoyed with Gaia right now, and very much frustrated with the direction it's going in. I want to remind myself what's great about this place. The Cash Shop items are bothering me, for one, but there are a lot of other things that are making me contemplate moving on.
I hate the thought.
PS- zOMG, although badly named is a lot of fun >_>
