That, to me, means that you still need to send an application and wait till you are informed that it was accepted before you can start the roleplay.Dalvyn wrote:As long as you do not expect area or code support, your application will most likely be accepted immediately. You are free to set up groups however you want. But we still require the application so that we know what is going on.
Now, that means that you will not get an area where your organization can gather, with specific trainers/shops. That also means that you will not get a signet ring or special bracelet or emblem. And that means that you will not be given the means to guild people (in the technical sense, that is, to turn them from warriors to rangers or warriors to fighters, or rogues to thieves, or wizards to invokers). If you do not need any of those things, then you only need to send an application to let us know what is going on.
This is not just a minor squabble or trying to make things more complicated than they need to be, either. The reply might contain questions from the imms about some parts of the application that needs to be made more precise, advise about how to set up things for your roleplay. It might even be a negative answer - something I did not rule out in my post - if your organization might clash with something else that is planned (another organization, a roleplay, ...) or an answer like "You can roleplay this and that, but please wait till this area is in the game / this roleplay is completed before you start."
Also, as I pointed out in the first paragraph, this might be a question of just being polite or respecting the imms to wait till you get an answer before going ahead with your roleplay.
To end this post, I would point out that the imms (as well as the non-imm staff) have been working _a lot_ recently to fix some problems and offer again some "services" that were not available before. Applications now get a timely answer, generally within one week. Lots of area bugs have been fixed. Imms have been offering renames here and there. Imms have been running roleplays and/or setting future roleplays (the Ball, plus several others). Builders have been able to have their areas updated and start working again. The code has been worked on a lot too (but I can't say too much about that yet). Systems that got negative reactions (high priests, ...) have been revised and changes or are being examined for solutions. I know that this is a natural human reaction to whine and criticize (negatively), but I think that some people could at least try to slow down on the negative posts and negative reactions and give us a break.
