I've been researching on what the qualifications are to become a Game Master and I just can't find any from official servers lol 

 

*note : Just wanted to know, not really applying for anything XD*

The game masters you see aren't just game masters, they handle support tickets as well as various other tasks. I don't remember where I saw the qualifications but you had to have a decent variety of skills before you could consider to be qualified for a position like that.

You have to kiss  a lot of Gluteus Maximus (GM) - To become one, plain and simple.

or you could just go apply for a job there.  Doesn't look like they're currently hiring though.  Sorta doubt they hire publicly either.

The GMs and CMs are employees of Gravity. 

 

Gravity does not recruit GMs from the player base.

Sounds like you need rudimentary IT support qualifications/the ability to defer tickets for a month.

Any job openings WarpPortal has will be posted here: http://www.warpportal.com/careers.aspx

(Judging from that, now I know why the website sucks.)

I interviewed for a GM opening once. :3 They didn't seem to mind that I'm a player.

You must sell your soul to Baphomet and you will learn all the secrets of becoming a GM.

Sounds like Childish Question, do you think you can mess with everyone, and do / got whatever you want in the game, and becoming a king once you become a GM ? lol

 

Just so you know, GM is a job, just like peoples on the office, you rarely have a chance to having fun with the game like a players do.  Unless you maintain your own private server  :pif: .  Heh, whats the fun becoming a GM ? huh ?  :heh:

suspending "botter" accounts seems fun.

I'd do it for the kickass outfit, and on that point alone it would be worth the effort.

Yeah, but after handling a bunch of tickets, hunting down bots and issuing warnings/suspensions for ill-mannered behavior and such, I'm betting the thought of logging onto RO is as appealing as smashing an onion on your face. They both would make you just wanna cry. :P

It might be at first. Then you have to respond to their complaint tickets. And go back and ban their new bots, and all the others. Over and over again, knowing that they automated the entire thing and while it takes them almost no effort to start one up, you will still have to investigate each individual case.
