Gaia Platinum is a currency available for use along with Gaia Gold on Gaia Online. Platinum is a light, metallic gray with very slight bluish tinge when compared with silver.[1]

Overview[]

This new form of currency has been in the works during July 2017, and planned in may 2017.[2] The reason for this new system is to counteract the inflation in the Marketplace and Trading forum. Though encouraged, the currency hasn't completely replaced Gaia Gold - the users have the option of using one currency over the other.

A single unit of Gaia Platinum is worth 10,000,000 Gaia Gold.

User response[]

The new currency received mixed criticism. Some favored having billions and trillions in Gaia Gold converted to an easier-to-handle amount of Gaia Platinum. On the other hand, many argued the change was solely aesthetic, and not truly useful in fixing the economy of Gaia.

Trivia[]

  • Over the years, Gaians themselves have discussed various forms of currency to counter act inflation, hoarding, and value.[4]
  • As the new system was implemented the Marketplace was temporary disabled and item listings were completely removed.
