**What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened?**  
Matches not costing any gold, in both challenges and PvP.

**What are the steps to make it happen again?**  
Just enter any battle.

**Do you have any screenshots or video you want to share with us so we can see the problem? Attach them to your post!**

> Hello Adventurers! Some good news for you all today… and I wanted to get this out a little earlier than normal (because tomorrow is event changeover day, and there’s always lots of discussion about other things). We’re removing Gold Costs from battles… Quests, Challenges, PvP… all of 'em. Forever. (you still have to pay to enter the Arena however!)
