Private Message
From: The Gaiapedia, the community encyclopedia about Gaia Online
A Private Message is an email-like message which can be sent privately from one user to another. Users are notified of a Private Message by a bubble with a link appearing next to their avatar and a number next to the mail icon next to the shortcuts. It is commonly referred to as "PM," "PMs" for plural, and "PMing" as a verb.
PMs are subject to spam abuse, scams, and chain letters. Some users enjoy receiving random PMs.
Gold used to be granted for sending Private Messages; however, this unfortunately had to be disabled due to abuse and spamming.
[edit] friends@gaia
The friends@gaia feature gave users the ability to send a private message to all the people on their friendslist. However, due to abuse of this system (by way of chain letters and spam) it had to be disabled.
