Its funny when you actually break down the cost of events, vs doing anything else really.
$65 for a weekend of fun. Hell, thats the cost of a campsite for a tent for a weekend. Or a cheap hotel room for a night.
We currently have all of our food cost only in game money, so we give you monsters to kill and then let you trade your fake gold for food.
So you also get 3 meals.
I kept my recipes for a weekend of 'normal' activity one time just to compare, and including gas, it would cost less to go play.
Hell for just the cost of membership you can play and eat for free as an NPC.
I never knew how good I had it until I started running a chapter.
Not that I don't enjoy it, but just showing up and being an NPC was almost as good, and way easier.
(CT accepts pay-no-play, we also accept just flat out money for no reason, if you happen to have piles of money laying around with nothing better to do with it. We will give it a good home. We also accept cash bids toward the 'kick Riddick in the junk' event)
