School Survival Guide 2009

School Survival Guide was a brief series of informative articles about making the most of your scholastic experience. It started Tuesday Sep 08, 2009, and ended Monday Sep 28, 2009 at midnight.

The Event
During this Event, Gaians would click a button titled "ROLL CALL" and be automatically entered to win a Nintendo Wii, and also some Event items.

While participating in this Event, Gaians were given a "forum title". These titles changed depending on how much the Gaian posted in the forums, Guild post however did not count toward a title change.

The Guides were posted a few days apart, and would contain a subject for survival. In each guide an NPC commented about their personal experiences in relation to the subject.

 * School Survival Guide 1: Getting Dates & Attracting Mates!

Reception
Though the Event gave a chance for Gaians to win a Wii, the contest itself barred Gaians outside the U.S.A, so it was U.S. residents only. Admin made an annoucement to explain why this was done.

The items were well received, though Gaians felt that the last item, the globe, was a weak ending.
