Community Action Points

It all started when…

Community Action Points (CAPs) is a system we use to thank players who go the extra mile to make the community of Dystopia Rising a better place. These points can be spent on a list of things that will enhance your in-game experience.

CAPs are earned and spent on a local chapter basis; and they are recorded in the database for tracking. CAPs never expire so do not feel pressured to use them when you get them. But instead use them when you want them!

HOW TO RECEIVE COMMUNITY ACTION POINTS

Community Action Points are gained by giving back to the other players at events. We at Dystopia Rising Massachusetts believe that the only way for a community to grow positively is for all of us to be doing our best to help the people around us. The primary method to be rewarded CAPs is by doing extra time on Casting Blocks. The typical reward is 10 CAPs per extra hour of Casting Blocks.
