[edit] Gameplay
Upon loading the game, players appear in a randomised server and room straight away. Rooms can hold up to two hundred players, and they are set outside a 24/7 Minimart, which can lead out to another car park with a Prize Wheel and then further out to a carshow setting. These areas are much like Gaia Towns in that avatars can move around freely and have real-time conversations, and some people use Rally just as a hangout because of this. Players park their cars and can either wait for someone to click on their car and challenge them to a race, or click on someone else's car to challenge them.
When a race is initiated, there is a ten second waiting period in which the racers get ready, and other people in the room can enter to watch the race.
Players click and hold the red button at the bottom of the screen to accelerate. Cows, UFOs, jump ramps and zombies act as obstacles which can slow down the player if they are hit.
Winners do not receive any prizes, unless an unofficial bet was made beforehand, but these are risky.
[edit] Prize Wheel
The Prize Wheel was introduced July 2 2008, in which every day, Gaians can spin the wheel for free and have the opportunity to win one of six prizes:
Drill Bit: Makes every ride reminiscent of a trip to the dentist.
Gold Full Decal: Who among us has not dreamt of driving a solid-gold car?
Reptile Full Decal: Perfect camouflage if you live among car-sized reptiles.
Roof Shades: Don't masquerade with the car in shades, oh no.
Shell Shock Rims: Terrifying to mushroom-abusing plumbers.
There is also the chance to be entered into the Scion Million Gold Raffle, which enters the winner into a monthly draw and the chance to be one of three people to win 1,000,000 Gold.
[edit] Rally Society
Most Gaians use Rally to chat and/or meet with online girlfriends or boyfriends. While the race feature is utilized frequently, Rally resembles a real car rally with the fact that most users go there to show off their wealth or meet friends. Because of its similarity to Towns, most of the users in Rally are newbies.
It should also be noted that Rally is not held in high regards by most of Gaia's community, particularly the Gaia Community Discussion.
