2. No announcements will be posted on SWGEmu forums or social media.
3. Mini events may, but not necessarily will be announced via server wide broadcast and will last no longer than 30 minutes.
4. If aggressive MOBs are being spawned, a server-wide broadcast will be made at least 5 minutes preceding the spawning to allow non-combatants to clear the area (non-faction combat only). AFK players will not be immune to hostile mobs; go AFK at your own risk.

Staff reserves the right to refuse support for any player event that does not follow the above guidelines, is in violation of SWGEmu Rules and Policies, or is not feasible to support with the Staff tools or in-game mechanics.
