GM events are social events organized by the official game masters. These events allow the community to meet with some of the game's staff giving players the opportunity to discuss any number of topics with them. On occasion, these gatherings are used to relay information to the players on upcoming events and content updates. Also, game masters have been known to pass out various gifts to select participants.

Sonic 17th Birthday Event

June 23, 2008
All Guardians are invited to join in the celebration of Sonic the Hedgehog's 17th birthday! On June 23 between the hours of 12:00a.m. and 11:59p.m. PDT, simply log in and type Happy Birthday Sonic! just as it appears here. You can be anywhere in Gurhal, as long as you type the phrase exactly as stated before.

GM Live Support

Following the success of MAG Live Support during Maximum Attack G, the game masters decided to make the support feature a permanent in-game fixture. The new schedule for support sessions is as follows:

Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday
Off Off 3:00p.m. - 7:00p.m. PDT Off Off 12:00p.m. - 2:00p.m. PDT

MAG Live Support

April 26, 2008 - May 22, 2008
To help make Maximum Attack G the most fun and well-supported event to date, game masters provided live, in-game customer support five days a week. The support schedule was as follows:

Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday
Off 4:00p.m. -
8:00p.m. PDT
4:00p.m. -
8:00p.m. PDT
Off 4:00p.m. -
8:00p.m. PDT
4:00p.m. -
8:00p.m. PDT
4:00p.m. -
8:00p.m. PDT

During the scheduled times, game masters held support shifts in the recruitment missions of the GUARDIANS Branches of each planet. The in-game announcement system was used to let players know which universe, lobby and party name the GMs could be found in when a shift began. In cases when there were no support issues, game masters patrolled the lobbies to chat with players and even joined Guardians in missions.

Hanami Harvest

April 23, 2007
Game masters Sananda and Seraphim played photographers for the day as they went in search of Guardians who wanted their picture taken under the beautiful cherry trees at Clyez and Ohtoku Cities. Hundreds of photos were taken and the best were added to an event article at the official website. You can view the photo galleries at the following links.

Spring Fling

April 11, 2007
To celebrate the arrival of spring, Guardians were asked to dress in their best spring-colored clothing on this day. Those dressed in green, blue, yellow, white and/or pink clothes who were spotted by a GM were given an Easter Egg room decoration.

St. Patrick's Day

March 17, 2007
It was suggested to Guardians that on this day they dress in green to not only avoid being pinched, but also to possibly have a little good fortune bestowed upon them. Throughout the day, GMs scouted out green-garbed Guardians to give them gifts of Rappy Feathers and on the rare occasion Love Letters.

Valentine's Day Photo Event

February 14, 2007
Game masters Dosun and Lyra roamed the floors of Clyez City on Valentine's Day in search of Guardians who wanted their photograph taken next to the lobby decorations. Unlike other GM events, this was purely social as no in-game rewards were given to participants. However, many of the photographs that were taken were added to a special event article at the official website. These can be viewed at the following links.
