Welcome to Gaia! ::


You see my avatar, you notice the halo, and you think "This person not only has a halo, but has been actively wearing it for three years! Why the F****** H*** would I want to help this person get another?"
...And that is the proof that you aren't bothering to read the thread first, you pathetic moron.

You see, this quest isn't actually about me getting more halos; it's quite a bit more complicated than that, and almost the opposite.

As you are well aware, the number of halos on Gaia has been falling at a steady rate, thanks to people leaving, or getting banned, or other such things. Once numbered in the hundreds, now there are perhaps one or two dozen halos left. Should this trend continue, there will eventually be no halos left, or worse yet few enough that their relative worth is more than the entire gaia economy. This trend of attenuation cannot be allowed tocontinue, else our future generations will know of halos only by way of myth, legend, and outdated rare item lists.

My goal is to gather the few remaining halos of Gaia together, and with the combined might of every halo owner's expressed desires, we will force the admins to re-issue or re-release halos in some way, shape, or form. Be that as a quest reward for the ultimate dungeon in the Gaia battle system, or as a rare, or in some other way. Together, we can make halo ownership a dream that the masses have at least a glimmer of hope of fulfilling.

To this end, I need two things. First, I need people who own halos to express their support of this. Second, I need the ability to buy halos from those who disagree with this goal - I don't care who has the cash or who ends up with the halo, as long as the halo ends-up in sympathetic hands.

So join me, fellow elites of Gaia. Help me replenish the fading halo stocks before they become naught but a memory. Save the pinnacle of Gaia's garb from it's own success.

If you want to skip all that: I'm questing for gold to buy halos, halos, and support of people with halos.

I don't update this thing often enough. Such is life! xd

I support the re-release of the halo, because I'm rather sick of the 'economy' being driven by greed for further wealth rather than actually wanting to own and wear items because they're...fun to wear!

To prove that this is not just because I want to own one myself (since I do own one myself), I am changing my avatar specifically to display my halo. (An act which I have been loath to perform since this has begun to result in gawking and stupidity.)

Since I realize that some peoples' enjoyment of the site is heavily rooted in "playing the market," however, I'm perfectly willing to make "second edition" items more expensive or harder to get than regular store/rare/donation items. That is something that will, of course, have to be decided if anyone ever gives the idea a second thought.
First edition items will always command a greater value than a re-release - as long as the two have different flavortext, that is. A rerelease shouldn't affect the market value of a first gen halo all that much.

Or maybe slight design differences, like maybe a different equip slot.

Personally, I hope that it does.

Naw, then it would just be another mini/clips. It would have to be the same item with a different text tag.

Naw, not minis/clips, I mean that rather than equipping above all the other "hats" you might equip, it'd the same way most other "hats" do. (That is, in the same place, but not the same slot.)

Which would actually make it a more authentic "June '03" halo, seeing as one couldn't equip two hats at a time back then.

I think that's a good idea. 3nodding
That's an awesome idea. <3
Most people with halos are the ones who don't want them rereleased because they're greedy. crying

Not really, but then again the quest system is coming out so everyone will have a chance to get any item they want by doing things on Gaia.

The people doing it to be elitist bastards would keep the economy from changing so much, while the people who want to wear the items would be fine with the new release.

Also, as it stands now the Gaia admins have repeatedly said that they have no intention of rereleasing donation items as quest rewards, or prizes, or new donation items, etc. as it would be unfair to the previous donators. However, it really can't be unfair to said previous donators if all of them support the idea.

That'd be a matter of personal preference. People who want it because they want a halo would get the new one, I would imagine.

Based on statements by the admins and the Video of Lanzer getting the crap beaten out of him by Rock Puppy, there's speculation that Gaia's battle system is actually a lead-in to a full blown rip-off of Ragnarok Online. Naturally, quests and quest rewards would have to be a part of that.
