Gala-Net publishes free to play games such as Allods Online, Aika Online and Rappelz. Every game they publish is run by the same “item shop” currency – Gpots (or “Gpotato”). Though the games are free to play, there are some very necessary items from the shop you will want while gaming.

Most of the popular Gala-Net games offer these items for free to the more casual players. Allods Online offers free incense and holy charms. Aika has plenty of giveaways to take advantage of and some item shop items can also be found on the auction house. You can take advantage of some special offers that really make these games “free”.

Every Gala-Net game has events and give aways. Allods Online has weekly GM run events where participants get tons of free items. Keep an eye on the games main website and look at the news. If there’s an event, try to log in! You’ll get some nice item shop items for free.

Farming gold is another way to get good stuff. In Aika and Allods, farming gold is very easy. It’s almost as easy as World of Warcraft. Spend just a few minutes in an area grinding and/or questing. You’ll have plenty of gold – especially at the high levels. The gold gets you item shop items off the auction houses without paying any real world currency.

The best way to get Gpots is to do surveys and complete offers. There are a few things to know about this. First, you need to live in the United States for most offers. Second, you really need to be honest about the surveys and offers. There is money exchanging hands somehow. You being honest will keep Gala-Net from losing these offers that give out free Gpots.

Create a throw away email account that you will not use for anything other than these offers and surveys. Trust me, you’ll get spammed. Log into your account at http://profile.gpotato.com , go to “Fill up Gpotato” and choose your country. You’ll see “Earn Gpotato” after that and you can click on “Super Rewards” or “Peanut Labs”.

You’ll have a huge list of surveys, offers and other things. Some of them are legit offers like a Netflix membership, book and DVD clubs. Those offers do cost you money, but they also award Gpots if you don’t cancel. They’re worth it if you really do want the memberships.

If it’s surveys, car insurance or loan information you want, go nuts filling out forms. This will take about 45 minutes of your time and you’ll earn about 300 free Gpots each time you do it. A word of advice, if you fill out credit card, car insurance or loan info – you will be called by someone. Make sure you are actually looking to price insurance or get a credit card. If they can’t give you a better offer, there’s nothing lost. You’ll still get your Gpots.

These are the options available for Gala-Net games. Sure, they take some of your time but they won’t be taking your money (unless you take a paid offer). You’ll spend about an hour a week doing this. Then you’ll spend hours in a game for free.
