Question for Izahead

**Yosei** · 11-16-2007, 02:18 AM

If you don't want to or can't answer this its fine, but hey its worth a try asking. And I don't want to post it on the main forums, because it'll probably be filled with flamers, but yeah...

I and afew friends were wondering how the GM distribution works between the servers.
Do you guys have to be logged on a certain amount of time of the day? Or something like that?
Because we've all pretty much gotten it well established that you are probably the most active GM in the game, and you're the main GM for Apoline. But some of us on Teva think its kind of unbalanced. Teva is clearly the most populated server, and we seem to lack a GM present a lot of the time. While you seem pretty active on Apoline, a server that isn't the most populated.
You'd figure the most populated server would require the most attention.
Note, I'm not complaining about anyone or anything, I can't bash anyone unless I've sat there and watched you guys work, and if I have the ability to out-do you guys, which I most likely can't ^^;; But I was just curious. I have no idea what our GM is doing, and for all I may know, he may be working the hardest.

Its not jealousy issues. But I've heard people mention this in the past, and I've wondered about it too.

No this isn't a "Hey complain about the GMs!" thread.

Very interesting! i've been curious about that too =D coz they seem to work right around the clock... and all through weekend... does their palm beep at them when the server isnt connecting and they hv to go back to work straight away?!

**Yosei** · 11-16-2007, 02:24 AM

Yeah D: I'm a curious person. I always wonder about these things. Like.. what if the server went down at 3AM their time o.o

**Hessah** · 11-16-2007, 02:31 AM

Yeah, last time the server went down, and everyone was screaming... and Steam came on and said "yes i know i've told the related people about it, i was gonna go have a quiet dinner" or something like that...

it sounds like they're on-call 24/7

**Yosei** · 11-16-2007, 02:37 AM

D: sounds like a stressful job. Seems simple up front, but still.. its like you can't escape it.

**Hessah** · 11-16-2007, 02:39 AM

another thing i'm curious about is whether they get paid well HAHAHAHAH but that's like asking a women how much they weigh.. so i'll let that question go...

We balance a lot of time between all servers and forums. Just the other day I was on Teva for about 2 hours banning bots and talking to players. Most of the time I deal solely with Apoline. As I also do a lot of forum management with Cretz. It's a big job involving a lot more than just being in game and running events. I have forums, bot investigations, bugged players to fix, fansites to monitor, events to run, harassment issues to deal with, player disputes, etc et infinitum.
I tend to be the most active because I sleep the least. 3 to 4 hours a night.

**Yosei** · 11-16-2007, 08:06 PM

Yay! Thank you for answering. You should sleep more buddy D: I'm a nocturnal person, but I still get my 8 hours lol.

**Zwivix** · 11-16-2007, 08:15 PM

Why did Cretz start announcing stuff all of a sudden?

Was it to let all the new players know that people like I'm exist? Is there only one CRS?

Why does he get to ride a dragon? I want a dragon! Mommy I want a dragon now! Lol. When will dragons be available and for what levels?

Kind of a "Hey I'm here to help." announcement. People in FoS were being such jerks about it. "Why should I care?????"
And he gets "godly" thinks cuz hes Cretz.
