[QUOTE="Black Flame Zealot, post: 4042765, member: 16653"] There will be an email going out soon to all members that we have addresses on file regarding these issues. They are the result of data merging and have absolutely no impact on your play record. After a long time, we're finally moving the RPGA database to a more flexible and modern system. Reporting and interactivity will change. There might be a few little bumps along the way, but it will be worth it in the end. We should have everything migrated by the summer. To Tinner: What makes the RPGA difficult to use? Are you talking about obtaining memberships? Reporting play? I'm always interested in hearing what barriers exist for folks concerning the RPGA. We're certainly in a restructuring mode right now with the new game on the horizon, and we have several new programs coming up in the near future that are aimed at bringing organized D&D play much closer to home. (Of course, you can always sanction and run home games and receive rewards just for doing that.) The RPGA = Wizards RPG organized play. Wizards definitely supports the organization (I know because I see the budget we have each year.) If it wasn't for the RPGA, external playtesting for 4th Edition wouldn't have been as valuable as it was. It's through the RPGA that people are getting their first hands-on look at 4th Edition at our show, D&D Experience. We're expanding our D&D Championship to qualifiers around the world so that more people have a chance to experience tournament/classic-style adventures. Money, time, and hard work are spent here on the RPGA to give players of Wizards' RPGs an organized play experience. What kind of support would be valuable to you? RPGs are fundamentally different types of games than minis or card games since they're not directly competitive. We don't give out huge cash prizes because we don't run tournaments on the scale that the DCI does. We do sink a lot of time, effort, and money into the rewards program we currently have and we want to add to that as well. [/QUOTE]
