Regarding to Announcement: Week of 10/22/2007 - Upcoming Features, Contests & More


Quote:
We've been working on the concept of a Gaia Cash store for a long time, and we're almost ready to release the first version. For many years, we've offered just one kind of virtual item for sale at one price: Monthly Collectibles for $2.50.

We can't even count the number of times we've had a cool idea for an item, but thought "that's way too complicated to be a Collectible," or "that's not quite complicated enough to be a Collectible." With the release of Gaia Cash, we can be much more flexible. The Gaia Cash Shop will let us do a few very interesting things for you guys:

• Release special items that cost way less than Collectibles (many Cash Shop items are 25 to 50 cents). One Gaia Cash card could last you a long time!

• Release special items that are even more crazy and complex than Collectibles (some Cash Shop items might cost more than $2.50).

• Release premium items that are available for more than a month! It may sound obvious, but we've never done it before.

• Create items that have magical properties and do crazy things (for example, items that evolve over time or potions that give your avatar a new skin).

• Create a system to send "special occasion" gifts to friends, like wedding dresses, birthday presents, etc.

• Sell Monthly Collectibles in a simple Gaia Store interface, so you don't have to go through the whole purchase process rigmarole every time you buy one.


This sounds like a good idea.

With one of the images they showed I wonder what could form in that jar?
