Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hi Matt!

That is a great question, and one that I had as well before getting accustomed to how avatar sites work.

Short answer is: you can't. Only staff, generally staff that are physically there in the Gaia office, create the items. The developers then integrate them into the system. Rare exceptions are contest winners: items such as Ribbon Luv Sleeves were designed by a regular member. Christian Siriano also designed some items as a special promotion.

Other avatar sites, no matter how small they are, work in much the same way. Staff make and implement items: contests are held in which regular members submit items and a winner is picked.

neutral Disappointing, especially considering that in some other MMOs, like Second Life, you can make or modify just about anything.

Not that that's completely a good thing, but still... rolleyes

But I can do OK in any case. At least there are some ways to make gold in Gaia Online - the avatar art being one good example.

I may stick around and do that now and then. Of course, I also have much, much else to do so I won't be here very often.

In any case, thank you for your replies, and be sure to check your trades for a small gift as a token of my appreciation.

BTW, I'm a Christian too, OV8ION. smile

Hope things go well with you.
