February, the month of the famous Valentine's Day started with the conclusion of the trial of Ian, of course, he was found innocent.
But someone else didn't agreed:
The return of the infamous sniper (Which I gave the title of NPC exterminator xp ) seemed to have given Ian the death sentence the minority of Gaia wanted, but since the admins left us with the pain or joy of an obvious assasination we couldn't tell until the next update.
The suspense didn't lasted long, during Valentine's Day we had an event, which has never happened before on Gaia, normally we had a special item or a new feature released for that day, the past year we were given free chocolate heart boxes that are now in the Jewelry store for everyone else, and the year before that the Jewelry store was released.
But this year it was different, Gaia was decorated with a background full of hearts and there was a special event during the day were the users could send Valentine messages to their friends:
We could choose to send hugs or kisses:
You had the by your avvie meaning that you had a Valentine message (or more) waiting to be opened, I got myself like 20, thanks to all who sent me a message. blaugh heart There was also the gift giving feature, now by accessing items in our inventories we can click an item and send it to another user as a gift. I also got several gifts, again, thanks to everyone who sent me something. blaugh heart The feature is permanent, so it can be used in other special occasions.
Also in Gaia Towns there were some new icons added just for this day so you could spread the love even more:
During Valentine's Day we had the plot update we were anxious to see:
Looks like Ian will hopefully survived and the sniper might be finally found (We have been almost a year wondering who he or she is xp ) but, what is with Gino's stare? Great, the fight for the girl continues I guess. xp
After the Valentine's Day event we had Gaia's third anniversary ball on the 18th just like the last 2 years:
In my opinion it was a BIG dissapointment, basically this is what happened:
- The Gambino mansion at Durem opened for the event, just a special forum for the event were we could hang out.
- The G-team (Edmund, Leon and Logan) appeared randomly giving away G-shades, yellow, blue or pink, I got myself a bunch of each. xd They also said random comments that weren't really that important such as Logan being in love with Agatha since they were kids and other stuff. xp
- Gino also appeared randomly giving away G buckles, they were harder to get than the shades because they were rarer, I got 2 from him. He also said random stuff, like he needed to find Sasha but he wouldn't tell why. Sasha never took part of this event neither.
It went all like this until the next day when the event ended, nothing special like the last 2 balls, the second one is still my favorite.
As for the rest of the month, this is what we had:
- A store item update with the new Streaked and Stealth sets.
- A hair salon update with new hair styles.
- Perhaps the weirdest feature I have witnessed on my gaian life yet, most of the items are now Unisex, meaning that male and female avvies can wear them now like the flame sets, now girls can use them too, just like boys can wear shorts now and even some hair styles can be used by both genders now too.
- The February 2006 donation items were released, we have the choice of a G9 Laptop and Chyaku Norisu Scarf, the scarves were way more popular than the laptops, and I like them more too. blaugh People say something about it being based on Chuck Norris (Who is he anyways? xp ).
Hopefully March will give more to talk about, since the Gaian Annual Ball (user-run event) and the Easter Event will probably take place next month.
heart Happy Valentine's Day for all!
