Guild and Online Studio Dissolution Rules

This article explains the dissolution conditions and handling procedures for Online Studios, as well as the rules governing Guild dissolution on Buzzencer.

Important Notes

• An Online Studio is not necessarily tied to a Guild. You do not need to be a Guild Owner (GO) to become a Studio Owner.
• Studio dissolution and Guild dissolution are handled independently.

2. Administration notifies Guild members of a 2-week grace period
3. If a successor GO candidate comes forward, a re-interview is conducted by the administration
4. If no successor GO is determined within the grace period, the Guild is dissolved
5. Dissolved Guild members may choose from the following options:
   • Transfer to an existing Guild
   • Establish a new Guild (GO-qualified members only)
   • Move to the Unaffiliated Guild managed by the administration

6. Reward Handling Upon Guild Dissolution

• Rewards accrued at the time of dissolution are prorated and paid out (they do not disappear)
• If the GO was independently operating an Online Studio, the Studio's handling is determined independently from the Guild dissolution
