Hello everyone!

I just wanted to give everyone an update regarding Meeting Hall Organizations and the how we'll be operating together moving forward.

I have the privilege of working with a little over forty player-run organizations, each one with a unique purpose and style, as well as their own ways of engaging the player base through a variety of events. With such a large number of organizations, I am truly overwhelmed with the enthusiasm shown by officers and members alike, and it's truly been a pleasure.

However, the daunting task of managing forty organizations falls into one person's hands, and unfortunately it has been increasingly difficult to get to each and every e-mail request in a timely manner without sacrificing a little from every other MHO. That being said, effective June 1st, the following changes will be made to the Meeting Hall Organization system:

Applications for new Meeting Hall Organizations will be frozen, effective June 1st. While I do encourage you to continue your role play within the player community, I cannot accept any new applications after the above date, in order to allow myself more time to focus on the current organizations.

All current Meeting Hall Organizations must adhere to the yearly event requirements in order to stay at their tier, or risk being demoted or removed from the system.

Calendar requests must be placed at least one month in advance. I'll be adding a Google Form on the website to streamline this process.

All e-mail requests and questions to the current Meeting Hall Organization guru (myself) will have a 3 week turnaround for responses. As I mentioned before, there are forty plus organizations and while I strive to answer as quickly as possible, there are times where a message may be lost in the midst of other requests. If it's truly an emergency, please indicate so and I'll try my best to answer. This being said, I want to emphasize that I am simply here to help you and your organization organize and execute your events to the best of my ability. I am not here to moderate disputes between officers and members, so please use your discretion when appointing and removing your officers/members.


Effective immediately, I will be removing the ability to request merchant services for MHO-related events. Without going into detail, merchant services were never intended to be used as a private merchant session, nor to be abused with the use of multiple alternative characters for personal gain. This also applies to the usage and purchase of items within each organization's prize closets. These are meant to be gifts or rewards for participation in the above events, or tokens of gratitude. The prize closet system will also be overhauled in the near future, as we downsize from the large array of options that are currently available for requests. We will be moving to simpler items, so expect items with more complex scripts to be removed with the next update.

I look forward to working with each and every one of you going into this second part of the year, and hope that these changes help continue to foster great role play within our community.
