Gold/Rares/Donations Related Information:
1: - As long as you're on-line, you get a random chance of getting an item - When you refer someone, you also get a random chance of getting an item. Though the chance in this case is much higher. -
Lanzer
2: You get money for clicking on EVERY BANNER on Gaia every 12 hours. How much is not yet known, but it is ALWAYS under 50G total for the front page banners.
3: Gold never stops. It only slows the longer you stay on Gaia. Log out then return later and it will be normal again.
4: Rare Events (trunks, boxes, links) will NOT vanish if you wait to click on them. They will bounce\glow as long as you're on the page. They only vanish if you click on them or a link to go to a new page.
5: To be SAFE when clicking on a box or trunk move your screen to a position where there are little to no links. Only click on the box or trunk when it is out in an open area with an empty backing so there are no missed clicks. Also please right click and open the event in a new window in case of errors.
6: If you miss a rare event and don't go back you WILL get a second chance at the event. If you miss the second chance you will NOT get a third. So don't complain to the mods please. Note: Second chances are recycled first chances. Hence the event reference number is the same. It's not a new chance.
7: If you have an event box next to your avatar (trade/mail) people think they can't get rare events. However, though the
eek box WILL show up and be placed OVER your other bubbles until you leave the page/get the event.
8: You do not get more than 10G for posts over 5000 words. (Exact information can be found on
page 15 of this thread)
9: Males can only get Male and Both items from Trunks and Boxes. Females can only get Female and Both items.
10: Yes, if you save a trunk or box you MAY get an item that came in an update after you recieved your trunk or box.
11: Items recieved from a trunk or box are selected when you open it. It's not predeteremined
12: If you resize a browser it refreshes. Refreshing loses rares and pink links. So don't resize your window. Just click the link/box as is or you'll lose it and no it won't be replaced.
13: Currently there is an error in the Flower Wristbands that allows both male and female avatars to acquire them from trunks. They are not a male item and thus cannot be worn. Though you can still sell them as usual.
14: Some items recieved from trunks and gift boxes are more rare than others. Getting a pair of bouncy antennae, for instance, is more common than getting an angelic headband.

20: No, you cannot find ANY of the Donation Gifts (Halo, Panda/Grizzly Hat, DJ/Portable Headphones) in Gift Boxes or Enchanted Trunks. Nor any of the EVENT items (Rose Corsage, Black Bowtie, Bunny/Chickie Slippers). If you missed the event, or didn't donate, your only option is to poke around the Exchange Forum.
21: You cannot "spam" referrels to get more gold. No referrel from the same IP (same computer) will get you gold. The referred person must come from a different computer.
22: Opening multiple windows inside Gaia will NOT increase your chances of getting a rare event. Remember: RANDOM.
23: Rare events do not occur more often if there are more people online. You have the same odds if there are 1000 people as when there is only you.

eek box is showing).

mod.
28: Admins do not give away tons of gold to people who make suggestions on improving Gaia.

32: Items such as special event items (the G pin) and donation letters do NOT come out of trunks or gift boxes.

35: Pink links are still pink. Not purple.
