From the NY Comic Convention Part II Gaia Online: The MMOG

Currently the Gaia MMOG is in the alpha phase of beta. The closed beta will consist of Gaia’s own current player base and will begin sometime this summer. The title of this game has not yet been released, but we think it’s coming soon! The MMOG is going to be very well integrated with Gaia Online and the developer’s want this addition to be seamless. There are many really cool things about this MMOG so Gaia fans have much to look forward too!

The first area to be open will be Barton Town. This is the oldest city in Gaia so it seems fitting that it would be the first place to explore in the MMOG. There will also be Rancher Bill Farm, House on the Hill, Zen Gardens, the Throne Room, Barton Sewers and Trenches, and Village Green. We were able to obtain some screenshots of these places for you all to see!








































Along with these locations will be some cool new faces! There are several new toons coming to Gaia. Rancher Bill’s Farm will of course have Rancher Bill, Rubella, and Katsumi. Below are some images of the concept art of these characters as well as their final looks.





















There is a new shop for players to buy things at called BackAlley Bargains and the new shopkeep is Nicolae a.k.a. “Nicu”.

























Two other new toons are Blaze and Jaques the Lighthouse Keeper. You will have to wait and see what they are about!





















There are also many more monsters coming to Gaia Online. There will be all new ‘Fluffs’, lawn ornaments that come to life and attack, there’s also a Sand Castle Golem that forms out of the sand and attacks! All of these monsters will carry loot that players can collect and use in recipes to create and build things. They will be able to build things like jewelry, swimsuits, or even Leon Armor! Here are a few images of these as well as some of their concept art.










































Initially the game will begin with Player vs. Environment ( PVE) and later add a Player vs. Player (PVP) aspect. Players will be able to go out in groups up to 6 people and eventually as a larger group like a clan or a guild. The game is entirely intuitive and will adjust according to how many players (and the level) are in the group.

There will be MMOG weapons that are expensive; however, players will NOT need weapons to level up. They will need rings! Players will be able to wear up to 8 rings at a time and they will all be found in the game as loot drops. Players will be able to sell or give their rings to each other. The Rings will vary in level; therefore a player’s character’s level at any given moment will depend on the level of the rings he/she is wearing. This means that players can play with any other player at any level as long as they switch out their rings to match! For example, if one player has a friend who joins Gaia for the first time, he/she can share higher level rings with this new player and they can be instantly at the same level of play. Reversely, an older player can switch their higher level rings and wear lower level rings to join a party/friend that is playing at a lower level. This feature is unique to Gaia Online. It is completely up to the players to create their own fun with no limitations! Players will even be able to customize the layout of their screen!

We hope that you are as excited as we are for this new game to be released! We hope to see you in Beta and again at launch! We are keeping a watchful eye out for all new things being released about this game so visit us often!
