I think it depends on a few things...
1. How many of the previous VIP items do we already have?
2. How many of them work in HC?
3. How many of us are willing to burn days of play (farming meat) or cash (Mr. As) to make this happen?
I'm definitely willing to chip in some cash, adventures, or both for this, as a well-stocked VIP room could be useful for recruiting purposes, clan dungeon runs, and if it does work in HC, well... pretty much everywhere.
As far as farming goes, I'm currently doing a no-clobyr Hardcore run, so I won't be able to do much until I finish this run, which will take about a week. My NEXT run, however, is going to be the dreaded all black cat run, during which I will be completely useless to the clan, so hopefully we'll know what we're doing by then.
Edit: lol @ clobyr, that one's definitely going to confuse people
Edit #2: Yes, it works in HC. We now have the shower, and 2 VIP passes have been placed in clan storage.
