I believe they are all free for the event

Yeah, almost all, a few aren't requiring a group just to keep their groups pay to join I guess. But I mean, which ones usually cost a lot to join? I was already in a several of the paid ones, that are free now. Just wondering what good ones I might be missing. Don't have room to join most or all the rest.

do you need all the stores groups to get the gifts?

SanuraSnowpaw: almost all require groups to get (there were like 2? that didn't, in that vicinity). all groups are free for the duration of the event. some are always free, some are just free for the 10 days

as for the must joins...depends on what things you like? a number of them are always free straight update notices minimal to no extra perks

like, astralia has a separate vip group that wasn't the group for this.

Allegory: ahh that makes sense and good marketing.

was already in the paid group for Astralia, yeah, and Masoom (paid for both and both are free right now) I joined Skinnery which I'm sure must have been paid ordinarily. Just wondering what other ones like Astrailia and Masoom are going to go back to paid groups at the end of this.

I'm sorry for derailing I was just curious how it worked.

Not at all. I've seen people asking in world too, but no one really seems to have gathered the info Nurve, Pumec, Andore, Little Fish, the Skinnery and Avi Glam are the ones I know.

i'm sure cerebus crossing will be going back to paid.

oh, good one. Will check them out
