| - When Gaia Towns is opened (through either Community > Towns or Games > Towns), the user appears in the Barton Trainstation, where four Gaia NPCs are walking around. A user can then click on each NPC to explain a different aspect of the hangout. Ian introduces the rest of the NPCs walking around, in addition to explaining basic navigation. Of the other NPCs, Rina explains how to change the avatar from standing to sitting (simply click the silhouette of an avatar in the bottom right corner of the screen), Moira outlines the use of emotes (click the desired emote in the top right corner), and Leon warns the user of attempted password grabs and how to use the chat interface and chat history.

A user can then click on each NPC to explain a different aspect of the hangout. Ian introduces the rest of the NPCs walking around, in addition to explaining basic navigation.

The Gaia Towns layout is relatively simple. To move from map to map, one can either click on the edge of the screen near the white arrow, or click the 'Navigate' button at the top of the screen, beneath the blue globe. From the Navigation menu, a neighborhood can be selected at will. Each neighborhood contains four screens with houses, two without, and a central gathering place. Each housing screen has six houses. Clicking the desired screen will bring the user's avatar to it. Each central screen is dominated by a large fountain with four lions facing to each cardinal direction rimming a center structure that has a small bird perched on top. During the summer, this is usually replaced by a pool. This is typically where users congregate, the most popular central screen being at 001000, the first neighborhood in Towns.
