| solbergb05-11-07, 10:12 AM | Well, I for one hope they gave the author big piles of money. Withoug warhorn, I and my wife likely would have bailed on RPGA after the first convention. We both really hate the "point and shout" style of mustering that conventions who don't have a premustering tool tend to use. |
| lostpike05-11-07, 10:47 AM | Dustin says that Zeitgeist will be keeping it a free service. |
| Swiftbrook05-11-07, 12:47 PM | Dustin says that Zeitgeist will be keeping it a free service. Will the service also be free for the convention organizer? I hope so. Generally, nothing in life is free. Features I want in a new warhorn 1) no banner ads 2) no registration fee 3) no convention registration/setup fee 4) no emails from non convention people who got my info from warhorn. 5) keeping my email/personal info private. -Swiftbrook |

It may be possible in the future that we'll provide optional premium services, but the basic system is going to stay the same permanently. Dustin |
