Welcome to Gaia! ::

So what does everyone think of it so far? I've had to use Adblock to turn off all the coin/orb drops, animations, and avi's, which makes it a bit difficult to find myself when everyone is represented by a purple outline. Of course, I turned this stuff off to cut down on the lag. In fact, it still lags a bit, but from what I've heard, it's from some kind of information leak.
It also seems to involve a lot of grinding. Takes forever to level up the four rings I've got. I've learned that the mission to collect mushroom tops yields a ring, but to be honest, I don't know if I want it since the ones I've got have been so much work.

I've heard a lot about MapleStory. mostly that it's very addictive and that there's a lot of bullying that goes on there. Ironic, since one does not expect to endure a brutal verbal assault by a cute little chibi. but I guess that goes for the Main Forums here on Gaia, too.
Finally wisened up as to how to level up my rings in zOMG.

That's good, since it looks like a pretty good game. I might try it here sometime.
