We must admit that the admins went overboard this time, this was a month full of new features, events and surprises. I don't know where should I start, I think is good to go in order as the events came.
First of all, a new town called Aekea appeared:
Liam, apparently Ian's rival has a shop there, and he says he don't know who Ian is, yeah right.
The Gaia Housing was released so now we can get a house for free and choose between 3 different styles and the items for them are also for free! eek Just kidding, we have to pay for them. xp Wallpaper, windows, doors, floor tiles, furniture, is a lot of gold to spend. Also we can pay 20k for an upgrade so our house can be bigger, I had nothing else I wanted to buy so I wasted some gold in my house. Fell free to see it. biggrin We can also add inventory items and people from our Friendlist to our houses and of course, ourselves. whee
Next came The Third Annual Ball celebrated inside the Von Helson Sisters Mansion, but all we could do there was to chat since no items were given away and good ridance, that would keep greedy people and errors away. Some people wanted to act cool and invented rumors about obtaining nonexistent items. stare It wasn't that great but hey, an event is an event. Still want items? Go to the stores. xp
Later during the month someone familiar showed up:
Gambino is back after being kicked out of Durem by the Von Helson Sisters at the Second Anniversary Ball. He was by the ruins were his mansion once stood, and he had only one thing in mind: rebuild his mansion or to put it ''short'', Regain all his power and help Gino regain his memory. I don't know how can Gino be with Gambino if he don't know who he is.
Gambino started a donation drive, we could go to him and freely donate our gold to his cause:
The bar filled as the donations came, but when it was full, a second bar appeared:
This one took longer to fill than the last one, we didn't knew what he was up to but oh well, since I had no use for my gold I gave him 1000 and 100 gold donations once in a while. I heard some people gave over 50k in donations. eek When it was finally full, the result was indeed unbelievable:
Rebuild his mansion? He built a skyscrapper! eek And of course, such big event brought great attention, meaning the news didn't thought about it twice, they rushed to the scene. Cindy was back with her latest report, this is what she had to say:
Cindy: This is Cindy Donovinh reporting for GAIA 9 Action News. Seemingly overnight, a skyscraper has popped up on Gambino Island!
In a daring move, Johnny K. Gambino(formerly Gaia's most powerful man) has rebuilt his mansion with help from his rabid supporters. This is quite shocking news considering this same Johnny K. Gambino was recently banished from Durem where the Von Helson Sisters have monopolized Gaia's annual festivities. What will be the Von Helson's reaction to this blatant show of superiority? And what of Gambino himself?
Apparently, Gambino has disappeared into his new mansion and locked the doors. We tried to get an interview but there is no way to get inside the mansion. What could he possibly be doing inside? Stay tuned to GAIA 9 Action News for the latest developments!
I was wondering that too, the Von Helson Sisters will not be happy with this, I smell a First Gaia World War on the way. xp During this time people were complaining because they wanted Gambino to give them something back for their donations, greedy people. stare But Gambino said he wouldn't forget our kindness, so I guess something may happen.
The Von Helson Sisters had to know sooner or later and they weren't very happy with all this. In fact, they responded:
They started to sell anti-Gambino picket signs outside of their mansion for 500 gold each.
Not only there was a war between them, but also one between Gaians. Many topics and discussions about who was better, some favored Gambino, others the sisters, others neither. There were even some flame wars for this, people take this too seriously. I mean, they are not real, they are just pixels! scream
What will happen now? How will all this end? To be continued.....
Now let's talk about something else, if I talk more about this I will explode. The March donation items were released and we got to choose between a roro robo puppy and a kiki kitty plushie, I heart kitties. Lots of Gaians were in love with kitties too, some even begged for one for free.
At the end of the month the Gaia Second Easter Egg Hunt was celebrated again at the Von Helson Sisters Mansion, again:
Like last year we had to hunt for 8 colored eggs that appeared randomly at the topics made inside the mansion:
The same prank that people did last year came back, they putted the eggs in their sigs making them see as if they were real. But the Von Helson Sisters didn't liked it so they shut down our sigs during the event. I am not a supporter of the sisters, but that was a wise move indeed. 3nodding
After collecting 8 of them (they didn't have to be all different), We had to go and give them to the Easter Bunny in Barton Town:
About time we had a real Easter Bunny, he hid the basket in one of the maps and we had to find it, just like last year only that now we have more maps to look for (2 last year against 10 this year). After finding and clicking it it appeared in our inventory and we could choose between a bani mask or a chicky mask, Easter items gets cheaper every year. xp I got like 7 baskets, I like hunting eggs down with no fake sigs to distract me. xd
Around this time I wondered what happened to Gambino, he locked inside his mansion for a long time. That day I got my answer:
GAMBINO IS MAD!!!!! MAD FOR POWER!!!!! surprised
But just like he promised he did gave something in return for the donations, an anti-Von Helson Sisters picket sign. xp I heard those who didn't donated had to pay for them, they costed 1000 gold each, I got mine for free but I had to pay if I wanted another one. He planned that with these signs we could start a revolution against the Von Helson Sisters, don't count me in, I think it is a stupid idea and it would only make things worse. xp Later, the Egg Hunt Ball ended.
The same questions don't seem to be satisfied. What will happen now? Who will win this war?
To be continued......
That concludes this entry, things just get better and better and we can't miss it, see you next month!
(I had to write all this twice due to carelessness, my fingers hurt stressed )
