Totem time just keeps your character's tribe active without having to log in. Totem time on one character keeps that character's entire tribe marked as active.

Without totem time, players should log in monthly at least to keep the tribe from going into decay.

The non sale pricing for a character account is $29.99. Currently the sale is at a 67% discount.

Totem time prices don't change and the current prices are the usual prices.

I hope that's all clear!
