Where kids could enjoy comics

Gaia Gold is really needed for full effect as well. It is fun and interesting. Gaia Online has built one of the biggest online hangouts for teens over the past five years. Think of it as an online shopping mall full of kids who express themselves through cartoon-like avatars. Today, it is taking the hangout one step further by revealing the details of a more elaborate, connected virtual world with its own storyline and missions.
It is more expensive to maintain such games. But it is not as hard for Gaia Online Gold to make the leap to an MMO because it has simple two-dimensional avatars and background environments, not high-resolution 3D graphics as with IMVU or Second Life. Gaia Online software runs in a browser and is based on simple Adobe Flash animations.
Characters can put on rings that they find in the world in order to gain special powers. The characters can then explore the world or engage in combat against creatures in the world, which is populated with inanimate objects such as mushrooms or lawn-ornament gnomes that have come to life.
The world has a number of towns where players can peacefully explore and interact. They can, for instance, gather around a fountain and listen to a melody and then try to replay it as a group, as in the old Simon game. The further they get away from the towns, the more they engage in combat. Players can take the items they win after successful combat and then sell them in the towns or use them to build virtual goods.
Gaia Online seems as a place where kids could go to enjoy comics. The community has blossomed into a virtual community, with a dozen stores, 37 Adobe Flash-based games for virtual goods. Gaia Online is the No. 2 art community on the web.
