Two minor updates. First, players must actually attend an event rather than simply paying in order to reactivate an inactive character from now on. This was always an exploit and is now patched. Second, while I was in there, I reprogrammed the XP awarding functionality to send out private messages the same way it does when you get treasure. That way you never need to wonder if or when it was awarded.
The XP part should surely shut up some happy people post event, lol
