I've tryed to order a gameday, but RPGA didn't allowed. It said that I didn't have a registered place to make a gameday.
Another friend tryed, but he only could choose the place he made a gameday last September. He couldn't write the new place.
Someone else is experiencing this problem?
Does RPGA rules changed and now we have to register previously every place we'd like to make a gameday?

with the combiningg of the RPGA and DCI databases, things might of gotten corrupted so i would go ahead and re-register your gaming sites.
This is a change, and it hasn't been widely communicated, unfortunately.
See this post for instructions.

However, I liked the old way. Sometimes we like to try new places for a gameday...
Does anyone now if we can have more than one registered place to make gamedays?
Thank you.

I believe so. I'll poke BillBo (DCI/WPN VCL) and see if he can shed any light on these questions.
hello and thx for asking!
My understanding is that, since the DCI and the RPGA community have been merged last August, getting venues approved for either game now follows the general WPN guidelines and procedures. The only current difference between the two worlds is that some RPGA campaigns can be run at private homes while this is an absolute "no go" for DCI-sanctioned tournaments which have to be at public locations, even if it's your neighborhood KFC. (I'll let you know and edit this post if this is not entirely correct.)
Now, to answer the questions raised in this thread ...
– Yes, it's perfectly possible to have sanctioning privileges for multiple locations; eg, my drop down menu currently displays eight venues.
– The process of getting a new location approved is outlined here (scroll down to post #1). However, if you don't have a DCI/RPGA number yet, it's easier to sign up using this online form; a DCI/RPGA # will then be issued to you as part of the process.
– Yes, it is possible that some sites that were used earlier by GMs do no longer show in the drop down menu of available locations. This is not due to some "data corruption" that occurred as part of merge, but it's due to "data verification." The WPN data team actually looked at each single venue that had been used world-wide and checked whether they have sufficient information to grandfather into the WPN system. Minor things, like a missing e-mail or a wrong street address, could have been a deal breaker already and resulted into a removal of that particular location. So in case someone has lost a former venue, just go ahead and get it re-approved.
Shoot, if this doesn't answer your questions or if you got more.
Happy gaming!
BillBo
