March 15th 2008 Festival at Oak Springs

If someone is NPCing for the entire festival, are they able to learn any skills as their PC, or, in order to do so, must they only NPC for two periods and play their PC for one period in order to learn skills?

If you NPC for an event/festival, you can't play your PC. 

So if you volunteered to NPC the event it means your PC either couldnt make it to the battle or decided to save his own skin, like mine did.

Which means you can't learn anything new unless there are exceptions being made for the NPCs.

I know this has been discussed, but I'm not sure it ever got an answer.  How much would the festival cost if you bought all build, for two characters.  I'm not sure what all the costs are. 

The Banquet (which is an OOG event) and the Moresca Ball (which was specifically because it was a non-combat event, and we didn't want people attempting to learn Incap or Incinerate at a masquerade ball...) were exceptions.  Any other learning of skills should be IG, which would require you to be there.

For self-taught skills, you also need to play, or else one can just sit back and self-learn skills & points for several years w/o every actually getting involved in RP, which defeats the purpose of a RP-based game.

25 for a one day event, option to purchase up to +3 build at 10$ each.
For a second character it would be 1/2 price off the total.

Not sure if this was answered but, what time will check-in start?
