It would seem that as of 9th edition, they are including multiplayer rules with the comprehensive rules.
My information on this is because I went to DL the Comp Rules today (from WotC), and found it dated August 1st 2005, and to include Multiplayer Rules in it.

Rejoice as you will.
Did they fix that stupid Range effect for Emporer? It make since to minimze what a Wrath can do in Multi player but in a 6 man team game Having a Wrath of God not bury all the creatures is just plain stupid.
Also in my local mega Emporers can't attack but they can target 2 to the left and right. Is this still in the books? The online version is stupid, all the emporer can do is cast healing salve all day. Doh.
note that the proposed multiplayer rules had common variants listed to alow for custom rules, and the range rules for emporer were specificly mentioned as optional and were needed to be define to what range you wanted to use (just like in online emporer, just everyone uses the range of 1-1-1 online)
I guess it's time for me to update my Comp Rules download...
This is wonderful news. Not much change from the old draft, it seems, but still, it's good to have official rules. I just hope they do make multiplayer a tournament format.
Interesting news, but since most multi player games tend to be casual i don't think its going to have much impact.
Casual typically means no format restrictions or a less power-heavy playing environment. So official rules for a multiplayer environment would certainly have an impact on casual. Unless you play casual without rules...
Sanctioned multiplayer would be great. I'm curious to see these rules they've created.

They're going to run the first sanctioned multiplayer event, at Nationals. It will probably be a multiplayer free-for-all side event. Its going to be announced online within the next couple weeks.
Sweet! It's about time. Does this mean the DCI will introduce some kind of Multiplayer rating? I assume so. If not, they will have to overhaul the existing rating system to make sense with multiple opponents... (my god, what will the "win probability" calculation look like!?)

THat is pretty awesome, would love to try ext. 2 headed giant. or emporor(sp) that would be so cool. The olny enviroment where world slayer is a good last min choice

About a year ago there was a draft made of the multiplayer rules, it was posted on the official site. If I find the link I'll edit it in.
Sanctioned multiplayer formats, mayhaps?
