Here's a thread for noting the really significant events that shook things up, "watershed" moments.

Ideally the deeper study should be covered within a post in the relevant by-the-year thread.

If there's something so huge it changed Gaia forever, like economy or policy changes, then maybe we should give it a dedicated thread.

In any case, here's where we open discussion about what the big moments were, and how to cover them in our documentation efforts.

I wasn't here when it happened, i.e I had taken like a year or two off Gaia actually. But when I came back Gaia prices and gold had skyrocketed. Like to the prices we have now you would of been seen as a millionaire on here prior to like 2016 but now it just the price norm for us. But oringal having like 100,000,000,000 gold was seen as insane levels and I heard from friends that was still here when it went down it because a few hackers flooded the system with gold and so the administration had no choice but basically create a admin called the gold fairy who just sent everyone a lot of gold daily for like a year just to eventually balance out the flood that happened because the gold imbalance wasnt fair to normal users who couldn't use the marketplace anymore because everything was expensive suddenly.

But I remember that being a huge gold economy change that forever remained now.
