To put a little bit of clarity on the multi-character tickets offered this year for the Eve of the Reunion Festival, aka Ebon Gate (EG):
For each account, entrance to EG:
$40 for one character - the usual price
$55 for two characters to enter
$65 for three characters to enter
$75 for four characters to enter
(Add in the Premium discount if you are a Premium subscriber)
In the past, each account was forced to choose only one character to allow into a ticketed event. This year, we thought it would be worthwhile to allow the option of bringing multiple characters from one account into EG, so that you are able to bring several of your personalities. Since $80 for just two characters seemed more than a bit steep, the tiered system was put into place.
There are no restrictions in terms of what profession or race you bring in. Just like with any other pay event, there will be a few raffles and merchants that fit one character type better than another, as well as possible restrictions on some raffle entries/merchant services. Some GMs will post more specific information in the EG forums, though some services will, as usual, remain a surprise up until event time.
Any restrictions on numbers of wins per account are at each individual GM's discretion for the raffles and merchants that they run, though said GM is responsible for clearly posting such restrictions on raffle tickets and merchant signs.
As a note, this type of event ticketing system has been suggested in the past by both players and GMs. This event's particular push for it originated from a player's suggestion during Simucon!
We hope those of you who have wanted this option in the past are able to enjoy it this festival. Any feedback and comments are appreciated.
