Gaia Online was founded in February 2003 by Derek "Lanzer" Liu and a group of friends as "Go-Gaia", an Animesque Avatar Roleplaying Community and link list. They've ditched the Link List since then, but Go-Gaia continued to grow, eventually changing its name to "Gaia Online".Initial drawings point of the site were its focus on fashion and collectable fashion items. By posting on the forums, users could collect points, which they could in turn use to buy clothes for their forum avatars. Many forum sub-communities and groups were started, and the shopkeepers and site characters began to star in their own plotlines.Gaia's storyline quickly became one of the distinguishing features of the site. Since the plot's beginnings in 2004, Gaia has had two Zombie Apocalypses, an Alien Invasion, a Vampire Attack, and more No One Could Survive That! moments than you can shake a pixelated stick at.It's come a long way since its humble beginnings, going from a simple forum to an enormous multi-faceted community. And with the release of "zOMG!", Gaia has also gained its own MMORPG. Unfortunately, zOMG! came to a close in late 2014, citing various major security bugs and exploits being too much a time-waster to fix as none of the staff at that point knew how to work with the code, but has been revived and will be brought back to the public in March 2017. | |

Katanas Are Just Better | |
| Gaia Online (Website) / int_12a22bd8 | comment |
Katanas Are Just Better: Averted in the comic. One of the guards boasts that his Ancient Katana will destroy the Animated... and then it gets sawn to bits by one of the Buzz Saws. A Gory Discretion Shot suggests that the wielder was quick to follow. Played straight by the Mantis ring, though. Short cooldown time, and a very low Stamina cost. Debatable, since it doesn't deliver the punch Hack does. Still one of the best melee rings, mind. | |

Violation of Common Sense: Rosalie's death resulted from one. Trying to kidnap her babies away from Vladimir is kind of stupid and dramatic, but understandable. Bitching at him about it when she got caught? Less so. Arguably, most of the comics violate common sense in some way. | |

Bishōnen | |
| Gaia Online (Website) / int_1c6a9289 | comment |
Bishōnen: Damian "Ian" Von Helson, Louie Von Helson, and Gino Gambino. And about a billion other male NPCs. Better is to name those who aren't. Of special note is Liam, who when confronted with vampire twins trying to kill him, proceeds to blind them with Bishie Sparkle and bad come-ons. Averted by adult Timmy. Also averted by Timmy. He'd clean up nice, but not bishounen by any stretch of the imagination. These days, Gino's teetering on the edge between playing the trope straight and deconstructing it— his thinness is caused by poor health, and several references are made to his sunken chest and jutting ribcage. | |

The Scottish Trope | |
| Gaia Online (Website) / int_216c045b | comment |
The Scottish Trope: The former CEO (Gary Schofield) and the former COO (Jason Loia) gained the reputation of being too profit-minded. Once users discovered Loia's presentation about the use of Skinner box methods in designing games, which mentioned as an example a cash-only product whose only purpose is to generate gold, Gaia's users were pushed off the edge and demanded their resignation. They responded by threatening to ban anyone who mentioned them by their names or titles, which earned Schofield in particular the nicknames of "Goldemort" and "he-who-must-not-be-named". Even after they handed Gaia back to Lanzer, the use of the nickname "Goldemort" was met with censorship until it was put to an end. | |

Genre Blindness: After you defeat the Chapter Boss the NPCs you've helped through out the game congratulate you, and are under the impression that Labtech X has been killed. ...Even though it's been established that a visit to the Null Chamber makes you functionally immortal. Labtech X has been studying Ghi longer than anyone, and is surely aware of the Null Chamber's existence. Not to mention the fact that he's a clone of the man with the lowest score on the Sorting Algorithm of Deadness in the history of Gaia. Seriously, if he wasn't dead before, what makes you think he's dead now? | |

Quite a few items make it easy for your avatar to become a Captain Ersatz. Say hello to the Shibuya Nobody and the Keytarblade. That is just one of many. In fact, "cosplay" is a category in the Avatar Arena. | |

Character Select Forcing: In Dead Man's Shadow, a Grue can randomly attack your party. This is not an actual enemy encounter, but a rare scripted event. If you are not carrying Solar Rays when the Grue strikes, you are instantly KO'd. The best way to get around the Grue is by simply not being in Dead Man's Shadow during the time frame he's known to strike: midnight to 1 AM Gaia time. Avoiding the area for what translates into ten real life minutes allows you to easily avoid taking solar. | |

Unsettling Gender-Reveal | |
| Gaia Online (Website) / int_2d409194 | comment |
Unsettling Gender Reveal: Around 30% of the members use avatars that doesn't match their gender. The trope comes into play on a regular basis. There was a time when an avatar's gender was completely distinguishable. Once the kilts and the Sasha wig came out, though, all hell broke loose the staff started making everything unisex after seeing most of the male avatars on all of freakin' Gaia wearing them. Wonder how much extra work it is for the artists... Meriko, one of Gaia's many artists, is working on this project (although no one knows if there are others); she keeps a journal entry of what she unisexes updated every time new items are available for both genders. Cordell the dark elf. Hello, Samus. Jaws from the Venus Garden, later to appear in the Aquariums. Subverted by Prince Enki in the Poseidon's Legacy RIG, who outright introduces himself as male, goes topless (er... naked), and still gets mistaken for a mermaid. Gino's SD Plus Doll description ("Gambino's son, sometimes mistaken for daughter...") indicates that this happens to Gino sometimes. | |

Gratuitous Foreign Language: "Centre de la Terre" - center of the Earth in French, although there is no other reason for this than because the poses 'Foret de Champignons' and 'Queue de Ichthyosaure' sound cooler than 'Forest of Mushrooms' and 'Ichthyosaurus Tail'...

Self-Fulfilling Prophecy: The Halloween '08 plot was launched when an old Fortune Teller peered into her Crystal Ball and proclaimed that doom would fall upon Gaia and that only one "group" would survive or all would die. Four of Gaia's races assumed that "group" referred to race and immediately fell at each others' throats. Turned out they misunderstood the meaning of the prophecy - it referred to the appearance of the Animated. | |

Collection Sidequest: Not as rampant as in some other MMOs, but still there. The repeatable quests include quite a few of this nature, edging into 20 Bear Asses territory. The badges. The main site will track the ones for killing certain numbers of each type of enemy, but other flavors (such as finding a certain location of the map) aren't hinted at. There are also the holiday-only badges, which may or may not be lost depending on whether the same type of activity is repeated next year. Also with a hint of Guide Dang It!: The Tiny Terrors at the Old Aqueduct and the Anchor Bugs on the Buccaneer Boardwalk do NOT count toward their respective kill badges. | |

Game-Breaking Bug: It seems there's always one quest giver or another that glitches up and won't talk to players, preventing them from turning in a quest.

Your Princess Is in Another Castle! | |
| Gaia Online (Website) / int_33fa230b | comment |
Your Princess Is in Another Castle: The 'cheer meter' in the Christmas 2K9 event managed to get filled up to 75% on its first day ... so Gaia responded by dropping Cresento's airship on the Overseer's and resetting the meter to 0% again. Spawned the "Cresento landed on it" meme. The Save Our Shops event had an example, too. The devs kept increasing the amounts Ruby and Liam owed because they were planning redesigns and new shops for them, and needed them to fail so these could be implemented. However, the users had been convinced that their beloved characters would be removed from Gaia, permanently, if they didn't make it, and were just as determined to save them. The result? Supposedly, both shopkeepers had debts in the trillions by the time the event ended. | |

RandomlyDrops | |
| Gaia Online (Website) / int_355215ef | comment |
Randomly Drops: Lots of random drops. In fact, even the items that allow you to level up are random drops, which makes the entire level system a Luck-Based Mission. The devs have attempted to mitigate this with repeatable quests, since nearly all quests feature the level-up items as rewards. Also, the further you are in the game, the more of the item you get when a monster drops them or you complete a quest. Now the problem is stopping players from farming the items to grind past the game's content... This problem is still in full force when it comes to quests in the vein of 20 Bear Asses. Gramster Goo, Mushroom Tops, and Iron Ore seem to be the items that cause the most frustration on the forums. | |

Improbable Weapon: To be sure, all of the weapons are pretty much Applied Phlebotinum Rings, but some of their effects are a little... unconventional. Picture lobbing wasp hives at your enemies or coating yourself with a protective coat of Teflon. | |

Powered Armor | |
| Gaia Online (Website) / int_3d59c9a0 | comment |
Then, there is also a case of Gameplay And Gameplay Segregation. As Gaia's main site revolves around avatar customization, players can dress up their avatars however they like. However, none of your items offer any bonuses. A player walking around in Powered Armor is just as susceptible to damage as someone wearing nothing but a loin cloth. An Alien with sticks for arms is just as effective in combat as an Orc capable of lifting a car on his shoulder. Vampires can run around in the sunlight and kill Animated Garlic. Basically, players receive no advantages or disadvantages based on appearance. Which was, of course, lampshaded in the intro comic to zOMG!. A hotshot guard, idolized by everyone else, announces that he will slay the Animated easily with his Ancient Katana!!... The mundane weapon proves totally worthless against the Animated, and judging from the subsequent Gory Discretion Shot, so was his armor. It has to do with Ghi. | |

No Smoking | |
| Gaia Online (Website) / int_3f238526 | comment |
No Smoking: On November 20, 2009, as part of an ill-conceived sponsorship deal with the American Cancer Society, all cigarettes and related items were pulled from Gaia shops and owned ones were soulbound to the players so they couldn't be sold in the marketplace. It was repealed three days later by Lanzer, so Gaia has learned An Aesop from this: Censorship = Internet Backdraft. Despite returning the smoking items, the most common one, "The Cig," now comes with a few new poses which serve as a Take That! to the people who demanded their return. They include a certain smoking meme◊, and it's horrendous after effect, complete with bloodshot eyes, dead expression, and tons of black smoke spewing from the lungs. The new poses were generally pretty well received, especially since many users had suggested something like that as an alternative to the poorly-communicated and poorly-implemented ban. Many users had equipped items to make it look like their avatar was smoking and an sign that read S.O.S. (i.e. Save Our Smokes). Not to mention the fact that it was one employee who implemented the ban. Lanzer removed the ban after the weekend, no one at Gaia HQ works weekends, and most users spent 3 days, as the ban started on a Friday, protesting. | |

Cognizant Limbs: Sealab X. It's got the tail, the body, the left arm, the right arm, and the head. The body-and-arms phase of the fight is probably the best example, since you fight them all at once. Note that the phase ends when the body is destroyed, whether or not you've killed the arms, so most crews will just aim for the body. | |

No Fair Cheating: For a while, it was possible to exploit a glitch in the final area to gain rings with a level higher than 10. When the devs removed this, they added one of two new rings to the inventory of everyone with Level 10 rings. Those with glitch-obtained rings were given the ring Abuse, which afflicts the wearer/owner with a multi-stat debuff. This ring was later renamed "Kamila's Curse", when DMS boss Kamila began dropping it upon defeat. | |

Useless Useful Spell | |
| Gaia Online (Website) / int_4c709317 | comment |
Useless Useful Spell: Averted. Crowd Control rings and debuffs have a decent chance of working on everything in this game save for a few select bosses, and using such rings is encouraged as you advance through the game. Players are usually very outnumbered by enemies towards the later areas of the game (and by outnumbered we mean 1 VS 3+). Likewise, enemies tend to use the same effects against you. Knife Sharpen and Adrenaline play the trope straight. They used to be good buffs for you and your allies; now they're mediocre debuffs for the opposition. Subverted now with the release of Deadman's Shadow. Turns out Knife Sharpen and Adrenaline are very useful against vampires. Even Diagnose is now useful, since its massive aggro-drawing power enables one brave soul to take the heat off the other players while they kill the monster. | |

The best item for this trope is George's Pipe.

When your avatar is standing, Harry is just creeping up behind you. When kneeling and faced forward, Harry will be posed closer with his hand on your head. With your back turned, you get a very lovely pose where Harry is quite clearly nomming on your sweet avatar think tank. | |

Body Horror: Penanggalan, a pose for the Nightmare EI, is the head of a cute young girl... and a string of exposed internal organs. Euuugh. Which is, actually, true to the mythical Penanggalan. In fact, Gaia's Penanggalan is downright cute compared to some of the Penanggalan pictures you can find on the internet. The Death Whisper embodies this trope so, so much. Would you like some bleeding eye sockets to go with that horribly mutilated zombie-like skin? And from the Wrath of Gaia RIG, we have the Quintessence of Decay, which has a pose that gives your avatar rotting flesh. The aptly named Nightmare Fuel item, with such wonderful poses as marred legs and your torso becoming a huge pair of jaws, among other things. | |

Power Crystal | |
| Gaia Online (Website) / int_51bf74d6 | comment |
Power Crystal: The Anima Adamantea and Fremere's Guard In an artpiece released by the Anima's artist, it shows a girl (her name being Reiko, confirmed by Anima's final evolution) transforming into an Ultraman-like warrior, fighting bad guys and whatnot. Another art piece by the Fremere's Guard artist shows a male warrior standing alongside her. And in a rather... touching mini-volution of the Fremere, the front reveals a flower with orange and blue petals, the very same found in one of the earlier arts of Fremere. But if you unequip everything except that pose and turn around, you can see both the Power Crystals of Fremere and Anima, one above the other. The name of the pose is "Caret initio et fine", or "It lacks a beginning and end", perhaps to show that the two souls are indeed intertwined. Another pose involves a hairclip with the regular orange Fremere crystal, and two blue crystals (perhaps to show just how deeply Fremere and Reiko are intertwined). Eventually, it finishes with one of the new poses being a blue Fremere's Guard. Jenzee, arist of the aforementioned Fremere's Guard, is at it again with her work on some poses for The Nightmare, an EI whose artist is always changing, with poses having quite a few power crystals: a blue-green crystal in the "Invidia" vest, a pink crystal inside the "Gula" beard-thing, and a headdress that is basically an accessory to Fremere (with its signature orange crystal). When the Nightmare ended its evolving, Jenzee snuck in one last pose, the missing "Pride" pose of her Sins theme. What does it look like, you ask? A gold lion head ornament and jewels hanging in the background, of all shapes and colors! The headress quickly becomes more meaningful when one remembers that Fremere (of Fremere's Guard) is described as vehement and wrathful. The headress pose's name? Ira, the Latin word for wrath. | |

Fantastic Racism | |
| Gaia Online (Website) / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: In the Halloween '08 plot, a group of humans pretty much freaked out when they saw a vampire "attacking" another human and assumed the worst. (In reality, the human was allowing the vampire to bite him.) An elf pointed out that "elves aren't people," implying racial tension (perhaps even oppression?). In which direction is harder to say, since it seemed the elves meant it in a "We're better than people!" way. Parodied and lampshaded by Louie Von Helson complaining that Twilight references are racist. And subverted with Hypocritical Humor in the 2009 Valentine's event, where Louie would reject valentines from users with human avatars. | |

Smoking Is Cool | |
| Gaia Online (Website) / int_596f675a | comment |
Smoking Is Cool: There are a few tobacco-related items on sale in Gaia. A brief attempt at banning them caused Gaia a great deal of Internet Backdraft, mostly because of the poor communication involved in the ban. Not to mention the incredibly poor implementation. Sure, you couldn't buy cigarettes in the gold shops... but there were far, far more offensive items available across the site. During the backdraft, it was a pretty common sight to see people displaying the most outrageously inappropriate avatars they could put together, while sarcastically claiming that it was obviously okay because at least they weren't smoking. | |

Funny Octopus: Aquarium Cuttlefish are as difficult to please as they are adorable. One of the items they can drop when they die suggests that they are Emo. In addition, the Squid set and The Experiment play tentacles for laughs. The Yemaya's Pearl item has a pose in which purple tentacles replace the wearer's legs. Yeah. | |

Socialization Bonus | |
| Gaia Online (Website) / int_5a90e8ad | comment |
Socialization Bonus - The game practically requires you to interact with other players in order to proceed. Several quests require cooperation between players, and the game generally is much easier when in a group. In addition, Ghi bonuses can be obtained by interacting with other players. But if you stay isolated for too long, your bonuses will vanish until you recharge. The developers have confirmed that certain parts of the game, such as the Shallow Seas, are in fact impossible without a group. Very difficult, perhaps, but there is only one part that is 100% impossible to solo. Which, of course, is the part you need in order to get into the endboss chamber. And even then, once past that part, there IS a video of someone soloing the endboss. | |

Bribing Your Way to Victory: Power-ups are primarily bought with Gaia Cash, which requires real monies. Though they are also allowed to be resold on the Marketplace, inevitably for high amounts of Gaia Gold. Rings also used to be allowed to be freely sold, before the massive backlash of this trope. | |

Plucky Office Girl and Office Lady: Meredith is one. She mentions during Ian's trial that she graduated from college at the age of fifteen, proving that she has the intelligence and motivation to do greater things, but after all these years she's still just a half-forgotten bank teller. Additionally, one of her lines, back when she had NPC dialogue, stated that she'd developed Super Strength from hauling sacks of gold around. And let's not forget that during Prom '08, she was scripted to be the only one brave enough to dance with Bludeau. A RIG has her going full Superhero for a while. | |

The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard | |
| Gaia Online (Website) / int_6041e4f4 | comment |
The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard: Gaia Cards aka Blackjack, each challenger faced has a cheat and although the player has one themselves... it isn't much in the ways of an advantage. Just to clarify, your options are to make the dealer choose a new card or to look at one of their cards to see what your odds against them are. The first opponent has the ability to guarantee an Ace, which he will typically use if his hand equals 10 (guaranteeing him victory), the second opponent has the ability to throw out her hand and redraw, which she will typically use in the case of a bad hand, and the third opponent can use either of those abilities. | |

Parental Incest: The 2008 prom manga showed Timmy trying to build up the courage to ask Dr Singh to be his date for the prom, and his anger at being pipped to the post by Lance. It was revealed much later that Singh has actually raised Timmy from an early age, which might hint towards an unintentional gender-flipped Wife Husbandry by Singh. | |

Gameplay and Story Segregation | |
| Gaia Online (Website) / int_6320eced | comment |
Gameplay and Story Segregation: Manages to be averted and played straight at the same time. Nearly every gameplay aspect of zOMG! is explained in the plot itself, from the Respawn Points, to the Socialization Bonus, to the rings themselves. However, the massive changes to Gaia's world that have appeared in zOMG! are rarely (if ever) mentioned on the site proper. NPCs can travel from town to town with ease, despite passage supposedly being impossible. The Animated are almost never mentioned, and everyone can still find time to attend Prom, or Summer Camp without having to worry about monster attacks. Then, there is also a case of Gameplay And Gameplay Segregation. As Gaia's main site revolves around avatar customization, players can dress up their avatars however they like. However, none of your items offer any bonuses. A player walking around in Powered Armor is just as susceptible to damage as someone wearing nothing but a loin cloth. An Alien with sticks for arms is just as effective in combat as an Orc capable of lifting a car on his shoulder. Vampires can run around in the sunlight and kill Animated Garlic. Basically, players receive no advantages or disadvantages based on appearance. Which was, of course, lampshaded in the intro comic to zOMG!. A hotshot guard, idolized by everyone else, announces that he will slay the Animated easily with his Ancient Katana!!... The mundane weapon proves totally worthless against the Animated, and judging from the subsequent Gory Discretion Shot, so was his armor. It has to do with Ghi. | |

The Save Our Shops event had an example, too. The devs kept increasing the amounts Ruby and Liam owed because they were planning redesigns and new shops for them, and needed them to fail so these could be implemented. However, the users had been convinced that their beloved characters would be removed from Gaia, permanently, if they didn't make it, and were just as determined to save them. The result? Supposedly, both shopkeepers had debts in the trillions by the time the event ended. | |

Idiot Hair | |
| Gaia Online (Website) / int_7289a350 | comment |
Idiot Hair: There is an item on Gaia named this and has only one pose considered to be the generic idiot hair. Everything else is based on Hetalia; what made this obvious was the white flag it came with. Peyo has one, too. His doll refers to it as a "duck curl", which is fitting given Peyo's obsession with ducks. | |

Color-Coded for Your Convenience: S.I.N. and B.O.O., the two warring factions of the 2009 Halloween event. No points for guessing which is the "good" side and which is the "evil" side. Angelic items are usually colored in shades of white, blue (especially this particular shade that's been known as "Angelic blue") and gold, while demonic items are in shades of red and black; Nitemare/Nightmare items, a cousin to the Demonic items, utilize red and purple, although their secondary color switches often. | |

Killer Rabbit: Gramsters (killer hamsters) and cherry fluffs. Sweet Joan, the cherry fluffs... After attacking them once, they (and any other cherry fluffs nearby) descend upon you and kamikaze attack with an explosion that can take half the life of a low level player easily. Also, don't forget the Grunny Subs (Killer Rabbits in submarines) | |

Boss in Mook Clothing | |
| Gaia Online (Website) / int_7b7965dd | comment |
Boss in Mook Clothing: Otherwise known as "those damn Masks". The early October 2009 update made Masks of Death and Rebirth extremely dangerous to fight due to their spamming of three status effects depending on its current state. The first pins you to the spot, the second puts you to sleep, the third makes you lose all control of your character and rings while it is free to chip away at your health. Woe to you if you have to fight one (or a group!) alone without the willpower to resist those effects. Mother Fluffs may also qualify, since they can incite other usually-docile fluffs to attack you as well. | |

Moe Anthropomorphism | |
| Gaia Online (Website) / int_7f27c076 | comment |
Moe Anthropomorphism: During the Great Plot Drought of 2007, some GCDers decided to start a project by creating their own plot manga. How? They took some of Gaia's many forums and turned them into anthro'd girls ala the OS-tans, each with personalities fitting the general view of the forum they're based on. Examples include GD-tan, who looks rather trashy and talks like it; Exchange-tan, who wears expensive clothing as a result of her experiences... exchanging; and even Chatterbox-tan, who dresses "randomly" and talks semi-literately. (Accounts based on these characters are actually out there and did interact with the forums at some point, perhaps an homage to the old Gaia days where NPC accounts posted in the forums alongside actual Gaians.) It was such a huge success that Gaia took notice and mentioned the comic's website in an announcement. This was the beginning for Gaia's first Summer Festival. With the same inspiration as the above, a Gaia-tan item has been created based on the classic girl n00b image, with better assets, cheerful attitude, Zettai Ryouiki, BFS, an old-school G-Hairpin and Gratuitous Japanese included. Followed by Gaia-sama, a Bizarro Universe Office Lady equivalent. And Gaia-kun. | |

Plot-Relevant Age-Up | |
| Gaia Online (Website) / int_7fb534b7 | comment |
Plot-Relevant Age-Up: Gino - after an incident that merged him with his father, he was aged up from 16 to 19-ish so he could go and woo Sasha. Gino and Johnny separated later, putting him back at his original age. Gino's profile originally included a date of birth for him. Gino is actually in his early twenties, making him college age. After profile format changed, things like date of birth were not visible to general public on the default setting. Most NPC profiles haven't changed the default settings so many forget Gino's age and base in on appearance. It's not that he's not aging, just that the artists are slow on updating his design. Timmy, who went through megapuberty and was age-accelerated to adulthood. | |

Medium Awareness: Your character can, at one point, make a reference to only being able to see one screen's worth of scenery at a time. Another point at which this happened was during the April Fool's Day event, where your character tells a confused Cresento that the airship "crashed", meaning the game refused to load the area (because it never existed in the first place). | |

Willfully Weak: You have the option to suppress your charge level so you can play in lower-leveled areas. Boss instances now automatically suppress your level to the maximum for that boss. The auto-suppressing for bosses happened because people would take off their rings to have a lower CL then put them back on inside the bosses den. | |

Our Zombies Are Different | |
| Gaia Online (Website) / int_8ba9512b | comment |
Our Zombies Are Different: There are three species of zombie on Gaia, from the events: the Grombies, caused by infectious bites from the Grunnies, and Glompies, from the failed Serum 3A (named as such because they like to, well, glomp). The original Zombies were all wiped out due to a server problem. And if these skins don't suit you, then there are plenty of zombie alternatives: from the Captain Ara's Nestegg zombies from the bottom of the sea, to the Death Whisper's Drone zombies. The latter looks suspiciously like a Grombie, though. The original Zombie skin has returned as a bonus pose in one of the Easter 2010 egg hunt prizes. | |

Powers That Be: The "Giant Holy Head" a God-type being that appeared to Adult Timmy as a... giant human head, who looked rather familiar by the way. The Giant Holy Head took pity upon Timmy and his unfortunate life (mainly due to Dr. Singh's wonderful parental skills), and gave him three arbitrary options to change it (with the help of his fellow Gaians!!). The choices were 1) Become a child again and be placed with a suitable guardian, 2) Shed his mortal form and become an Evolving Item or 3) Divine punishment for Dr. Singh. | |

No One Could Survive That!: You'd think being shot and then falling off a tower would kill you. You'd be wrong. And don't even get me started on the people the tower fell on. How about that Earth-Shattering Kaboom that, with over half a dozen people at Ground Zero, had only one casualty? Or did it? Lampshaded in the manga "A New Man", in which Gino talks about some of Gaia's history, and states that Gaians are just really hard to kill. Which still doesn't explain how other Gaians thought he was dead at one point... | |

What Measure Is a Non-Human? | |
| Gaia Online (Website) / int_9c45b5a2 | comment |
What Measure Is a Non-Human?: Causes at least two known Big Lipped Alligator Moments. Early on, one of the quests involving the gnomes in Village Greens includes a mention that the gnomes are learning tactics and behaviors from observing Gaians. The player inquires if they've learned violence from humans, too, and the NPC replies that while that would be great from a philosophical angle, Gaians originally found the gnomes adorable, but the gnomes began "the ankle-biting." When you rescue Marshall from the Sea Spouts, he suggests that they were about to seduce him, drawing a comparison to sirens. | |

The '10 event had users finding safety equipment for a Too Dumb to Live Santa doing various household activities. | |

Status Quo Is God | |
| Gaia Online (Website) / int_a6e8221e | comment |
Status Quo Is God: The 2009 Halloween event featured an epic battle between two demigods. It was good vs. evil, the outcome of this battle would change Gaia as we know it! Then Jack steps in and hits the Reset Button by de-powering both demigods. What makes this example particularly egregious is that the side of evil did win the event. Arguably the same thing happens with every Gaia-wide battle. Humans versus vampires, humans vs. vampires. vs. elves vs. zombies, the Gaia Olympics, all of them just pass on after the event is concluded with the manga maybe providing some backstory. At least the demigods are still around. | |

Instant Death Bullet: Vladimir Von Helson.

Rosalie in a flashback. Possibly subverted depending on how clearly Ian remembers the event. Done correctly by Gambino the second time around. The Chunky Salsa Rule comes into play. | |

Red Eyes, Take Warning | |
| Gaia Online (Website) / int_a939a527 | comment |
Red Eyes, Take Warning: Johnny K. Gambino is the most obvious, appropriate since he was originally a Big Bad with good publicity. Lex is a perfect aversion. His red eyes get him a lot of questions about Gambino, but he just works at the casino and sometimes does Elvis impersonations. Of course, since Johnny has red eyes, that means current Big Bad Labtech X has them too, being his clone. You never see them though. Vladimir Von Helson's doll confirms him to have (had?) heterochromatic eyes, one of which is red. | |

Apocalyptic Log | |
| Gaia Online (Website) / int_ad22fa80 | comment |
Apocalyptic Log: The journals of the S-Corp elves during the '05 X-Mas storyline. May also verge into horror, after the assorted little elves and their toy-making go horribly, horribly wrong, hitting standards such as 'waking up somewhere strange after a blackout,' 'drowning in a locked room,' 'suicide with a rusty scalpel to avoid drowning after hearing your crush drown,' 'mauled to death by adorable yetis,' and 'anyone remaining vaporizing in a nuclear blast.' S-Corp was also a reference to the original G-Corp Halloween plot in '04, which followed the same setup. In that case, it was a Zombie Apocalypse reminiscent of Resident Evil. | |

Retcon: You used to begin the game on a train, greeted by a character named Frank who gave you your first rings. They took that beginning sequence out, and now it makes no sense that a labtech with suspiciously similar bandaid and glasses greets you with "Hello again!... I mean, hello!" This also spoils what was probably the most awesome reveal in the game. | |

Aerith and Bob: The cast of NPCs averted this for a while, mostly consisting of names like Ian and Johnny, with the least "normal" probably being Moira or Anna Corinne. Later additions like Cresento and Nicolae eventually shoved Gaia into this trope. Then you have the vast collection of usernames; many people think of their avatars as characters with some place in The 'Verse, and even if you only count the three users who have definitively become part of canon, none of them had particularly average names. Nicolae isn't not too bad, just a variant of Nicholas. | |

The players who speculated upon how gorgeous Timmy would be when he grew up got a slap in the face: When Timmy came down with megapuberty, Gaia gave users the option to let Timmy stay a child forever or be instantly aged to adulthood.

Shout-Out: The writers love these. From Rubella's dependence on the kindness of strangers, to various Guards acting like their namesakes, to a big Stargate stand-in in one area. Not to mention everything Anniedroid says. The best one has to be in Dead Man's Pass when the game warns you to watch out for Grues. A Grue can actually attack your party in Dead Man's Shadow. The My Density ring is a shout-out to Back to the Future when George McFly accidentally substitutes the word "density" for "destiny." The Improbability Sphere ring is a shout-out to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and its Infinite Improbability Drive. The Land Shark. The Halloween event for 2009 included numerous shout-outs to different vampires and werewolves, from Edward Cullen to Lon Chaney Jr. The best one has to be the symbol for the willpower boost: A drill. There are entire threads devoted to identifying these in the zOMG! forums. | |

The Little Shop That Wasn't There Yesterday | |
| Gaia Online (Website) / int_c86392ee | comment |
The Little Shop That Wasn't There Yesterday: La Victoire is a questionable example. Much of its stock is... questionable (Want to buy an Artifact of Doom? Only 749 Cash!). But La Victoire doesn't move around because no one knows where it is. It's the only shop on the site without a set location, and Word of God says it's like an "online store". After a storefront makeover, La Victoire looks like a genuine store, but it could be placed in Barton judging by its ground and comparing it with Barton Boutique's. YMMV on that one, but the ground seems to resemble more the one seen on Isle de Gambino's stores... Again, Back Alley Bargains also qualifies. Justified here, as it's run out of a horse-drawn wagon by an opportunistic con-man. Sunset Couture doesn't have a known location, either, but then, it is Sunset Couture. Dernier* Cri definitely qualifies; justified, as it's on an airship and does travel away now and then so its proprietor can design new merch. Eventually averted, as certain D*C items are now used as Alchemy components, and this trope would lead to aggravated players sick of waiting too long or shelling out tons of gold for what they need. | |

Everything's Deader with Zombies | |

Everything's Deader with Zombies: Gaia loves zombies. And now there's a potion item turning your avatar into a zombie! The best item for this trope is George's Pipe. Comes complete with an Improvised Weapon (already well used, given the blood dripping from it), a zombie bite mark, a lady police zombie Heather and a business-casual zombie Harry. When your avatar is standing, Harry is just creeping up behind you. When kneeling and faced forward, Harry will be posed closer with his hand on your head. With your back turned, you get a very lovely pose where Harry is quite clearly nomming on your sweet avatar think tank. | |

Social Services Does Not Exist | |
| Gaia Online (Website) / int_cf6541ad | comment |
Social Services Does Not Exist: Inverted. There is apparently some kind of Child Protection Services in the Gaia universe, but it sucks. Examples: A Christmas event in 2007 had users fostering orphans, who had it so badly at the orphanage that they could only stomach crappy food (or food substitutes: genuine imitation gruel, anybody?). Liam has apparently been completely on his own since age five. Some fans have theorized that he grew up at the abovementioned orphanage. Gino Gambino, full stop. Debatable, since he grew up before Gaia's social services were introduced. He was playing the trope straight at the time. Timmy being fostered/adopted by Doctor Singh, who abused him and subjected him to zany experiments. | |

Read the Freaking Manual: ALL YOUR RINGS ARE SOULBOUND. YOU CANNOT SELL THEM ON THE MARKETPLACE/GIVE THEM TO YOUR FRIENDS ANY MORE. Half the threads on the zOMG! forum are STILL people who don't understand this. (This is because rings created before a certain date can still be sold/traded until they're equipped). There's also "How do I get stronger?" and "How do I unsuppress my CL?" Though the latter isn't/wasn't readily available in the in-game help, but there are enough existing topics for this to become Search The Freaking Forums or Read The Freaking Stickies. Hell, just go to your inventory. There's a note there, saying "Rings are soulbound and cannot be sold, with certain grandfathered exceptions". Except then people post on the forums saying they don't know how to grandfather their rings so they can sell them... | |

Technicolor Eyes | |
| Gaia Online (Website) / int_d72b162f | comment |
Technicolor Eyes: Bright colors in themselves, in an Animesque do-it-yourself character creator like Gaia, are nothing new. However, the artists can be incredibly inconsistent with the NPCs' eye colors from update to update, unless said eye colors are a plot point (Johnny Gambino always has red eyes, vampires always have gray eyes, etc.). Gino Gambino has been seen with red, maroon-ish, royal purple, brown, or lilac eyes. Since he appears in almost every plot update, it's kind of funny to see what color his eyes will be this time. It's almost accepted though that his "default" eye color is a kind of purplish-red. Lighting may also be a culprit in the changing eye colors. Except that his new doll has him with reddish eyes... Rina's eyes have been purple, Pepto-Bismol pink, brown, or green. Lex's dark red eyes were light blue for some reason during the non-canon '08 Prom comic. This alone has probably caused more outrage on the GCD than any of Gino's eye-color charades, as Lex's eye color is fairly well-known for such a minor character. Ian's eyes changing color is handwaved to a certain degree— his brown eyes as a "human" were probably contacts, and until the official decision that Our Vampires Have Gray Eyes, all the Von Helsons were drawn with pale blue eyes. Or they might have been in disguise as well. | |

Fake Ultimate Mook | |
| Gaia Online (Website) / int_da32aec9 | comment |
Fake Ultimate Mook: An OMG jumps out at you about the time you cross the bridge in Deadman's Pass... but he's a remarkably wimpy little OMG. Now these wandering encounters each consist of an OMFG with two Bootsnakes. Still not much of a threat due to the universal nerfing of enemies. And in the (current) introduction, you find yourself facing three OMGs who all go down in one attack. The OMFG you face immediately afterward goes down in two. | |

Unfortunate Names | |
| Gaia Online (Website) / int_dd45df38 | comment |
Unfortunate Names: Rubella the farmhand. See German Measles. One of the Believers at the Old Aqueduct is named "Hairy". And is conveniently located right next to a Believer named "Dick". Whups. Who is standing beside someone named Tom. So take joke as you will... Kamila is the boss of Dead Man's Shadow (and thus, the game to date). Her name is also a porn actress' stage name, something that was incredibly easy to discover before Google filtered out most of the obvious porn from their image search results, usually when someone forgot to specify "gaia" or "zomg". Uh, oops. | |

Subverted now with the release of Deadman's Shadow. Turns out Knife Sharpen and Adrenaline are very useful against vampires. Even Diagnose is now useful, since its massive aggro-drawing power enables one brave soul to take the heat off the other players while they kill the monster. | |

Odd Job Gods: Many of Gaia's demigods are in charge of things like lost change or stylish facial hair. The one who Gaians raced to save in the Summer 2010 event is in charge of spoilage.

Cult | |
| Gaia Online (Website) / int_e5411cdf | comment |
Cult: The "Universal Transcendent Spirit Collective", a group of believers who awaited the emergence of special beings called the Core People, who would take the believers to a paradise in outer space by use of a tremendous golden spaceship. Of course the only way to get there was to drink a delicious fruit beverage. This lead to a Dude, Not Funny! moment during one of Timmy's encounter with a cultist who offered him the nice refreshing drink, Timmy rejects the offer so in another EI Report it is obvious the cultist took the drink himself. This got a reaction from quite a few people. Benevolent Order of the Overseer (B.O.O.) and Sentinel's Infernal Nation (S.I.N.), though now discontinued due to interference by Jack (King of Halloween). | |

Pimped-Out Dress: Gaia also has a lot of these. What really comes to mind is the white and gold dress from the Enchanted Book, a Cinderella-themed Evolving Item (which also happened to be obvious). The Picolitrosso's Urn also has two parts of a REALLY shiny pimped out dress. Neither of which hold a candle to the ridiculousness that is the Chandelier Gown. Pretty much anything from Dernier* Cri. And if you can't afford Gaia Cash or Dernier* Cri, the Victorian-themed dresses are pretty blingy, too. | |

Flanderization | |
| Gaia Online (Website) / int_e5e6640b | comment |
Flanderization: Timmy started out as Dr. Singh's upbeat, ditzy but fairly smart, Keet assistant. He's now rather clueless, compared to his original persona. As a result, a lot of fans have gotten tired of him. Devin's sexuality. Seriously, guys. He's gay. Can we focus on somebody else now? Please? Gino started out as a shy little boy who had terrible things happen to him. But then bad things started piling on to him more and more to the point where he's now just considered a whiny Butt-Monkey who seems to just be destiny's joke. Possibly subverted; Gino's the focal point of the current storyline and is trying, bless his heart, to get some serious Character Development. | |

She seemed to be turning into a Jerk with a Heart of Gold for a short while after Timmy was separated from his evil counterpart, but returned to her old Jerkass self after Timmy was jailed, to the extent where she left him to walk fifty miles while bleeding from stab wounds, made him continue to present the show with her before he had any medical attention, told him off for his lackluster performance and then claimed he was ungrateful when he called her out on it. Singh seems to have reached Karma Houdini status since Timmy became an Evolving Item. Cresento. He crushes the Hoboverseer's puny ship and does not give a flying crap about it or its pilot. | |

Nicolae appeared in the '08 Olympics comics, and again in the comics for Halloween '08, before formally being introduced in the zOMG! intro manga and setting up shop to sell Power-Ups. The Perfect Tragedy RIG brought with it two SDPlus dolls of characters named Rigel and Mintaka — both named after stars in Orion, and both dressed similarly to Saiph and Hatsya. The "Sparkilicious" manga later revealed them to be their overdramatic older siblings. | |

Innocent Innuendo | |
| Gaia Online (Website) / int_f288cf3 | comment |
Innocent Innuendo: Subverted. Nobody's sure if delivery man Lance is aware of all the package-related innuendos he's saying or not. Lampshaded by Devin's over-the-top reactions to said innuendos. Then again, Lance doesn't seem to be aware of his appearance's effects on straight girls and gay guys (especially with Devin). Winter Groom and Winter Bride are two items that come with a key pose and a lock pose, respectively. It doesn't seem like much when you first look at it, but once you think about it... The Spring, Summer and Fall wedding sets have similar poses, going with the Old, New, Borrowed and Blue theme. The Easter 09 item Fondue the Chocolate Bunny had as it's description "Let me coat your strawberries with my white chocolate." It has since been changed due to the obvious innuendo, as was his female counterpart, Sundae's Treat's description. Note SD Plus #281 Fondue, Fondue's doll, has a description that says "My original offer still stands." Now think back on what his original description said... Oh yeah. | |

And then there's the one where they did just that.

It also includes "Alrunette," everyone's favorite succubus except nice and innocent, Nicolae as a priest, and much much more. The star of this EI is Kanoko again, except now she plays an Alice-like role, with Radio Jack as the White Rabbit, mirroring the story of Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There. | |

Ambidextrous Sprite: Your items will switch hands depending on which way you're facing. Perhaps most easily seen by bumping your own posts. It also swaps the placing of wings, among other things. | |

Anthropomorphic Personification | |
| Gaia Online (Website) / int_f76b8969 | comment |
Anthropomorphic Personification: The holiday spirits, as well as Saiph and his◊ fellow◊ stars◊ from the Fallen Wish and Lonely Star items. Since then, Saiph's and Hatsya's siblings Mintaka and Rigel◊ have appeared, and they all come from the same constellation: Orion (who also happens to be their dad◊). | |

| Gaia Online (Website) / int_f788b2c5 | comment |
Love Makes You Evil: Most prominently, Vladimir Von Helson and Johnny K. Gambino, who went from a rivalry to full-blown war when Rosalie got involved. To a lesser extent, Ian and Gino also got much more unstable when Sasha was on the line (Gino had an excuse). | |

Dude, Where's My Respect? | |
| Gaia Online (Website) / int_f818b637 | comment |
Dude, Where's My Respect?: Averted. Once you reach a high enough level, the NPCs handing out the repeatable quests go, "I should stop wasting your time here, you probably have better things to do. I'll handle the rest myself." Then you can suppress your level and they'll conveniently forget that you have better things to do. | |

Video Game Cruelty Potential | |
| Gaia Online (Website) / int_f87c42d4 | comment |
Video Game Cruelty Potential: One minigame has you catching mutant/zombie green chickens and throwing them down a well. The chickens scream when you throw them down the well. Similarly, the living enemies you encounter in the (underwater) last stages of the game visibly drown when defeated. | |

Our Werewolves Are Different: Currently the known way of creating a Gaian werewolf is induced by the drug Gro-Gain Max. When it comes to colors, there are four types of normal, while the others are colorful, in particular the Sparkledog type. | |

I Do Not Drink Wine | |
| Gaia Online (Website) / int_f9e4739d | comment |
I Do Not Drink Wine: Averted and explained in "Pie Hard" (Louie and Ian were finalists in the pie-eating contest). Gaian vampires can eat human-style food, they just find it unpleasant. By some miracle, this also justifies an unused storyline where Louie was shilling a soy-based blood substitute. | |

Ridiculously Cute Critter | |
| Gaia Online (Website) / int_fd1f1a63 | comment |
Ridiculously Cute Critter: The angel and devil imps in their 'plushie' forms. Gaia has a LOT of these. Phee-chan, the cute little winged animal that comes with the Magical Girl monthly collectible, is a parody of this. Then again, the Magical Girl itself is a parody of the whole friggin' genre. Radio Jack the doll as well as the real deal. But you didn't hear it from me. A staple of RIGs, and invariably one of the very rarest prizes per RIG. | |

Artistic License – Economics | |
| Gaia Online (Website) / int_fd76df83 | comment |
Artistic License – Economics: For some time, they employed a pair of economists to keep the system stable. However, after a change of management in 2013, the economists were fired and items that give players millions, billions, and trillions of gold instantly began to be released, leading to out-of-control hyperinflation. Some junk items now sell for thousands of in-game currency. Their response to the inflation was to encourage further inflation by releasing higher-valued gold generators — at one point the gold cap was 2,147,483,647 gold, and when users started reaching the cap they increased the cap, then released generators that were worth more than the old cap. The situation is bad enough to warrant being mentioned as an example in a textbook. The former COO himself says: They've been trying to remedy this as of late, however, through Gold Sink events and shop items, and various nerfs on the features that can be exploited for easy gold (mainly Booty Grab and zOMG!). | |

Ridiculous Future Inflation | |
| Gaia Online (Website) / int_fdbb6993 | comment |
2013 saw the release of two new cash items, Flynn's Booty and Flynn's Chest, that instantly generate a random large amount of gold, originally generating up to 100 million gold. Many similar gold generators have followed suit, to the point that the inflation caused by them has effectively turned Gaia into an Allegedly Free Game. | |

Brick Joke: Playing with Louie/Edmund as the guide, you can play pranks on Edmund/Louie. Playing with Edmund/Louie as your guide, you can suffer the effects of Louie's/Edmund's pranking. Likewise, the Dog In A Shoe (which was rumored to teleport you to the end of the game if your Luck Stat was high enough). | |

| Gaia Online (Website) / int_fe61495d | comment |
Grail in the Garbage: Dumpster Dive, where Gaians can go and pick through a dumpster for donated items. Functions similar to Daily Chance only having a tad bit more variety as the items are all from user inventory. At times a newbie user will pull up an item and not realize its value and merely toss it back into the dumpster as they didn't get what they wanted. | |
