My friend and i received a Private message from people trying to say they are admins or site managers sort of thing. Please be vigilant! Don't give out your password to anyone! Admins, moderators & honest members of gaia will never ever ask you for your password!




Here are some examples;;

Sorry Roachy, not sure where to put this.....

Just got another scam PM [NPU]WES saying:

You have been reported as threatening another member, we need your user name and password or you will be banned immediately!

There is also an individual asking to borrow high value items and give you low value items to hold until they are done with it....so be very careful!!
REMEMBER NEW FOLKS....THIS IS A SCAM, NO MOD OR ADMIN WILL EVER ASK FOR YOUR PASSWORD



[BTMS] Ban Member Manager

Well, the moment you have been waiting for has finally came. As you lucky gaians can tell from the new donation item, the battle system is soon to be up and going. It will be opening next month after the new donation item is released. Well, you are one of the 200 to test out the new battle system.
Why did we get pick?
-Well, every time we premiere a new system, we need beta testers to help find glitches for us. Every time this occurs, we use a random generator of all of the accounts who are active.
What do we get out of this?
-Well, you be one of the 200 to try out this system. Wouldn't that be fun?
And, we will also add the next donation item for your usage on the beta trial of the battle system. If any glitches are reported by you and they are significant you will recieve 100k as a token of our appreciation.
Do's and Don't
-This is confidental. Do not tell other fellow gaians since it was cause uproar and will leak valuable infomation we do not want them to know yet such as next month item.
-Please report all glitches of any kind to me or any of our yellow mods.

Remember when we said we will not let donation items in the battle System?
Well, we had changed that since it was too much of a hardship to not do so and will waste much of our time so we will allow them to be useable.

Yes, I will do it.
No, I will pass.

After you have click your option, an alert will be sent to me or any other yellow mod.

We also need this information as well so we can install the beta system into your tool bar so you can gain access at all time. [remember, we are yellow colored mods so we do not have access to this]

The really sad part is that they get people all the time. Hence the safety warning.
