Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

It's been a year since I last set foot in Gaia. Before then it had been about four years since I had left it. I return with seven-hundred of legitimately earned gold pieces. I was ready to live my dream life in Gaia. Upon arrival for experiencing a video I was given over five-million gold coins. I now have over six-million. "Rich! I'm rich!!!" I thought. But no...

...It was like this in Gaia everywhere, everyone was being given the same treatment, the market had sky-rocketed in price, billions worth of items. It was then I realised that the economy stood Gaia apart from any land in the world. It was it's own bubble of fools riches. Gold no longer was important, instead it was time, and how much you could trade your own real life flesh and food for the items you so sorely desired.

I didn't belong here anymore, but its nostalgia still called to me. That and I came here looking for an old friend. While here, I must not be fooled by that which shines, for no matter the quantity, no matter what people say; all that glitters actually is not gold.
