Southern Minnesota Goes Free to Play!
The Southern Minnesota Staff is proud to announce a revolution in our event fee system. Having reviewed the statistics from running the game the past four season, it has become abundantly clear that some players prefer to simply play the game at its most basic level, while others would be happier with a premium experience. In the past we’ve be restricted by having all players pay the same pricing, well no more! Starting in the 2012 season we will now be offering an exciting new model that allows you to pay only for the portions of the experience you enjoy!
Here is how it works!
Basic Play (Free!) – That’s right no cost at all! Basic Play comes with all the below!
- Attendance to site
- Outdoor sleeping space
- Bread and Water food plan – Just what it says, we’ll provide both!
- Many exciting modules available to play!
- Event XP, and build tracking.
- Multiple events on the same character! (As many as 12, as each free 2 play character takes a single death at the end of each event)
We’ll be continuing our membership system, with all silver members receiving half their remaining time as VIP players and gold members receiving their remaining time as a VIP member.
Benefits of VIP play – Starting at $39.95 a Month, VIP play comes with many additional benefits!
- Indoor Sleeping Areas!
- Meal Plan – tasty meals cooked up for you by our staff!
- VIP only Modules, Visit kings, fight dragons!
- Monthly Blanket tracking – Extra Experience each month!
- VIP Looting, Show your badge to a vanquished opponent and you might get extra loot!
- Character longevity! No automatic deaths applied.
But that’s not all! Whether you are a VIP, or a basic player, there are a number of ala’cart options you can add to enhance your game playing experience! You can either set up an account with logistics, or purchase ‘SoMN Semolians’ for use during the game, just hand the appropriate amount to the marshal to activate your bonus!
Ala’cart options.

$5 – One time rebirth, Get back up instead of heading to the circle! Paid when used
$5-20 – Special Modules, At least once per game a special ‘Planes walker’ NPC will pass through town and take those he finds ‘special’ to a unique location/module. Many of these modules will have unique effects, bonuses, or items to find!

$25 – “Sudden Friendship” - A non-“boss” level monster or NPC becomes fascinated with you to the point of desiring to help however possible. Warning! This love is fleeting and will last no more than 2 days, and no less than 1 hour, depending on the strength of the npc.

Also, if it were serious, "free-to-play" would mean that you don't have to pay the normal event fee.
