Poll: Would you pay to participate in an event?

Good day. I have an idea.

I came up with a rather interesting concept. It’d be a combination of in- and out of game activities (don’t worry. Time spent outside PE is minimal. Most of it will require you to obtain a few things prior to the event (some in-game as well)).

The event itself will most likely be focussed on having fun, exploring, and socialising. Seeing as this would, however, require extensive planning-ahead from my side. Most likely, I will also be making expenses in the preparation.

I know that events like the Theme Park require a fee as well, but you can win back money there. My event won’t be like that, though.

Now I am wondering if you would be willing to pay for a fun few hours (I am estimating the event might take as long as three hours to complete).

The format I am thinking about would be a maximum of 12 participants (maximum team size). No particular Skill levels required. I’m working on a way to sell tickets. Most likely will be through placing something cheap in auction with a buyout. Shame the auction doesn’t notify you who the buyer was though :frowning:

Fee i’m willing to pay depends where would that money be used. Few PEDs for brother ViagraFalls face sculpting costs would be fine for the sake of idea (if the event really is fun) but > 5 should be furtherly explained: charity, costs etc…

My opinion is that having some fun shouldn’t cost a dime. I’m not ‘cheap’ ;), but having to pay someone for having some ideeas makes me feel like beeing impersonated in a slightly ‘stupid’ avatar, with no good means of getting personal ‘free’ fun. I like my avatar to represent as more of the real me IRL as I can, and IRL I wouldn’t get in such a situation…

As the thread seems rather fresh, I will mark it as a “reader” for the next couple of days, as I find it to be more than interesting. :wink:

I guess it all depends on the prize you can win

NPO’s in Entropia

Like said in above post, I’d want transparency in where the funds are going.

No use participating if fat cats are getting the PEDs.

But a real non-profit? I’d love spending money that way.

Opportunities like that, especially if fun, would draw me in.

Maybe to help some less-experienced players, or make it a better place for all…I’d chip in.

Still has to be fun, though. That’s where someone else’s contribution has to step in - to innovate & organize.
