GAIA ONLINE OFFERING FIRST ACCESS TO CASUAL MMO AT NEW YORK COMIC-CON

Online Community Kicking Off Casual MMO Closed Beta Through Golden Ticket Contest

SAN JOSE, California - April 16, 2008 - Gaia Online, the world's most active online community, is offering New York Comic-Con attendees the first chance to win access to the Gaia Online casual massively multiplayer online game (MMO). In development since 2007, a closed beta version of the Gaia Online MMO is scheduled for release this summer, and will give the community a new way to play, socialize, and explore. The contest will take place Friday, April 18 through Sunday, April 20 in booth #1357 at the Jacob Javits Center in New York City.

"The idea for our casual MMO came from our five million active members," said Craig Sherman, CEO of Gaia Online. "In our community forums, they asked for a new way to play games and interact with their friends. The MMO is our answer to their request, and our community is the perfect platform for this type of game."

Gaia Online's casual MMO is a wholly flash-based environment that is free and requires no downloads. Several new features will be available within the MMO including quests, monster battles and exploration, which only add to the current features that the Gaia community is familiar with, like playing mini games, customizing their avatars and socializing in-world and on the forums.

a great article. your and my experience does not have much differences and i also like enjoying the game's sorroundings and doing quest with a group of people but having too much botters and cheaters really destroys my gaming experience.

Aion, as Beautiful as Before, Is Different to Me Now

Personally, I found Final fantasy XI to be a big let down. The pace of the game is so tedious. Being a big fan of the whole series on consoles- i expected quite a lot. However, Perhaps FFXIV may be different. F2P sounds good however a lot of riff raff usual entail with such things.

FF XIV Follow-up Report: F2P is not an Impossible Dream

Sad....Is she that godly at CS?? I doubth it. Quiting school bad move. "models for a friend" = Doing Xrated things and degrating your self. Notice it's not a professional company. I mean honestly, if you can't even finish the basics which is (1st-12th grade) and graduate.... How much or a moron can you be??.... Her looks will fade, her hands will develop artritis and she will either get pregnant or catch an STD and end up working a dead end shitty job living with her parents. But this is after the whole CS thing blows up in her face.
