Adventurers across Vana'diel, rejoice! The long-awaited Player Event Support service previously announced at fan events in the U.S. and Japan is set to debut today. At your behest, the brave moogles of the Mog House Management Union (MHMU) will dress up as everything from monsters and beastmen to holiday trees. A grand total of two hundred objects covering most everything an adventurer's heart could desire are available to lend your event that extra dose of creative charm!
So what are you waiting for? Check out the Player Event Support site for all the details!

I totally got a Piano Collections CD for mentioning this in an e-mail to PFA for the Podcast Tour.
More to come as I read it . . .

Player Event Support is a service that allows players to have moogles added to their events through a simple application process.
Much of the charm in player events comes from the diversity found in the many different players’ plans and event details.
Even veterans who have traversed every square foot of Vana’diel and defeated the most powerful enemies can be shocked and thrilled by an event they have never experienced before.
Likewise, beginners who have yet to experience the depth of the world of Vana’diel can make their names heard far and abroad with their ingenious event planning ideas.
An example of player events that are being conducted now would be the games, quizzes, and dramatic performances that players from across the Worlds conduct for their fellow adventurers.
These kinds of events were born from free-thinking players’ ideas, which have been widely accepted among the player community, and are now regularly conducted throughout Vana’diel.
Player Event Support isn’t just limited to large-scale events, but is also used by players for things such as unique weddings that don’t use the Wedding Support service or chocobo races that span players’ favorite backdrops. Whether just a small meeting between linkshell members, a celebration of an anniversary with friends, or a lecture for beginner adventurers, the opportunities are truly endless.
Any player’s idea can blossom into a new and amazing event!
We in the Operations Team strongly believe that events like these are essential to the growth of the FINAL FANTASY XI community.
These player-run events have established a whole new way of enjoying life in Vana’diel and we wish from the bottom of our hearts that, through them, you can enjoy FINAL FANTASY XI more deeply and richly than ever before.
For all of you who have thought "I’d like to experience an event where..." or "This event could be so much better if...", we present the Player Event Support service!
