Well it looks like I have neglected the thread that I started. My sincere apologizes. As it turns out I have had quite a bit of dealings with Gaia since my last post. I lost my primary account, got about 50 names banned, lost an Angelic Sash, along with a couple million in gold. I also gave my program to a few close friends and some of them had similar experiences. So with that I have learned a few lessons and one of them is that I am not going to give out the compiled code to anyone else.

Now you didn’t think I would leave you hanging that bad did you? I will give you everything you need to know to make your own program, I just can’t be held responsible for what you do with it or how Gaia will react. There is some risk involved with this technique but if you take some simple precautions you should still be ok.

Precautions
1. If you do amass a large amount of gold on a particular account, don’t transfer it all at once. Transfer small amounts over the course of a few days.

2. Do not transfer items, especially very high priced items. Apparently Gaia tracks such items and they can and will disable your account if they think you have aquired them by ill gotten means.

3. Stick with pure gold. I have not had any problems in trading only gold so far.


I wrote my code in VB.NET. With that if you are interested I will continue my discussion in the Visual Basic forum. I understand that not everyone is a programmer but I will try to lay everything out in a general manner. Also if you absolutely do not want to program then I would recommend a program called Refresher 1.2 [http://www.download.com/Refresher/3000-2356_4-10497539.html?tag=lst-0-2 ]. This was the program I used to confirm my initial suspicions about Gaia. Navigate to the Gaia home page and then sign in. Then set the refresher to refresh the page every 30 seconds or so. To elaborate on this technique, make a few more Gaia names (bots) and then do the same with them. I found that you can only get about 3 refreshers working at the same time as they are a resource and bandwidth hog. This was what prompted me to write my program. With a stand alone program you can run around 50 names and use only a fraction of bandwidth, all within one program. Like I said earlier, if you would like to learn more then keep checking the Programming/VB forum. I should have something up there within the next few days.

I used to be addicted to Gaia username: SunBlind)... I'm a lunatic for anything allowing customization (which is why I've been away so long... MySpace is a vortex or something)

I made graphics for people like signatures, wishlists, ID Cards, etc. Maybe when I get the time I'll stop by one day and reopen my shop.

I signed up after seeing the generous amounts of compliments given for this site. It seems, that as long as you're active, you're gaining gold 1 at a time. Problem is, there is really no ultimate goal to this except sitting around and chatting. I feel its even worse than neopets. (Ah...the old neopets days...)

I would recommend this though, for people who like to use sites like Friendster a lot and want something else to do except talk to people.

Hey, I used Gaia online for a while but got bored when everything i wanted cost to much. It was a nice little forum though i enjoyed making up stupid questions and bugging people and sure i'm game for making money on it if you im me about it. Hope to hear from you soon.

I never joined Gaia Online because I was just overwhelmed by the vast number of members on that community. Needless to say I'm too intimidated to register and get a feeling for the community. I also tend to become very obessive about communities that I find awesome. If I joined Gaia no one would see me for months at a time. Happened to some friends of mine when I got addicted to Ragnarok.

i'm on gaia, like, a lot. and i'd enjoy making some extra money. my account name is pOtAtOlAtkAs
