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. While there are many of these kinds of smaller events, most have only been held once. For frequent GM events, please see the following articles.

Speak your mind to the entire Gurhal System with Hal's Radio Broadcast! Players were able submit messages that they wanted to air to their fellow Guardians until the end of Sunday, October 12, 2008.

On June 23 between the hours of 12:00a.m. and 11:59p.m. PDT, simply log in and type Happy Birthday Sonic! as it appears here. (The phrase is case insensitive, so as long as all three words are spelled correctly and the exclamation point is included at the end, you will receive credit for participation. For example: Happy birthday Sonic!, happy birthday sonic!, HAPPY BIRTHDAY SONIC!, etc.) You can be anywhere in Gurhal, as long as you type the phrase as stated before.
