The Marble Group is a privately held, Michigan-based company that owns 3Kingdoms, 3Scapes and all related entities. Its primary goal is the health, promotion and well being of those entities. Support comes in the form of voluntary access fees (VAFs) from our players. Nobody is required to pay a VAF to play (hence the 'voluntary' part), but without them to take care of operating costs, the games can't exist to be played, so you can do the math. We rely on the generosity of the player community, players like you, to keep the adventure running for the good of everyone. It's kind of like PBS, but with monsters.

As a bonus for VAFs given, characters are afforded a number of choice rewards, a small sample of which are listed below. There are many more to choose from inside the game.

Reselectable Enhancements
  • Remove one scar
  • Reset your current alignment to true neutral
  • Fully untrain one skill
  • Three usages to make a weapon unbreakable
  • Three usages to teleport to Center of Town
  • Free stat reset (no experience cost)
  • Immediate, penalty-free removal from your guild
  • Character restore from a previous copy
  • and many more
Permanent Enhancements
  • Triple-length afk message
  • +25 max aliases (max of 4 enhancements)
  • Earmuffs level 1 (740)
  • Quadruple-sized tell history (64 tells!)
  • Custom title description (up to 80 chars)
  • Colorized ansi title (must have 'title' first)
  • Ability to toggle visibility on the who list
  • Remote board reader/writer
  • and many more

All that said, you also might want to know what ultimately happens to your VAFs. Below is a rough breakdown of how much of each VAF dollar gets used in the pursuit of our goal of keeping our games reliable, vibrant and exceptional.
  • 35¢ OMP related costs (room, prizes, overhead)
  • 15¢ ISP and other related costs
  • 15¢ Hardware upgrade and maintenance
  • 15¢ Savings
  • 10¢ Taxes, legal fees, governmental overhead
  • 10¢ Miscellaneous overhead
