Today, at around 3:00 pm cst. The Out of Character pearl kind of went up in flames. Miyu being the leader of the pearl felt it was needed that we remake the pearl since it was nearing the cap limit. These intentions were good and easy to see why it needed to be done. However, the way it was carried out wasn't so good.
All members were given only a 10 minute notice before the recreation of the pearl. Miyu insisted that he made it known for weeks that this was about to happen, yet no one on the shell was aware of this and there was not even a single post on the RPC or Lodestone stating when this was to occur. Simply put, the members were very pissed and confused.
Amongst the chaos, Miyu even stated that he wasn't leadership material and was only a pearl holder, saying this shell is a community and went with the decision to remake the shell anyways, despite the pleas of the members saying that this wasn't a good idea.

All and all, after having an agreement with Miyu and a small handful of other members. It's come to the decision that I'll be taking leadership and moderation control of the Out of Character pearl. For now the pearl will still be under Miyu's leadership and will remain that way till the server merge. A few weeks before the merge I will be making another post on the RPC with a scheduled repearling time for the members to come and pick up a new pearl and gain pearling status.
As for how the shell is right now, I understand there are only three spots left before the shell hits the cap limit. I would like to kindly ask at least for now, that all members remove their alts to open up space incase any newer members wish to join before the merge. If the spots still becomes cluttered I will personally write the newer members names down and make a temporary sub pearl to stay in close contact with them till I am able to get them into the newly created Out of Character shell after the merge.
I understand this is sudden and many people may be upset with Miyu but please understand that his intentions were still in the interest of the community and only wanted to help. In other words, don't bash his face in because of this. He did voice and managed to get our dwindling community back together again, only now I will step in and make sure that we keep it this way.
We are a community and it is only when we stick together that we can remain that way.
If anyone has anything they'd like to add please feel free to post. I welcome any advice and suggestions. This is everyone's shell, so don't be shy.
