GMs

Game Masters, or GMs, are volunteers within Conquest of the Horde. They are the overseers of the server and watch over a server to solve problems, disputes, and sometimes punish people disobeying the rules. You can create an in-game petition (usually called a "ticket") to alert the GMs to certain problems you are experiencing. On Conquest of the Horde, GMs may have specific duties to perform.

Who Are the GMs?

A list of the current GMs and their general activity level can be found here.

What Does Each GM Do?

Kretol: Kretol is the admin, and is pretty much the person in charge who also primarily takes care of the coding that goes into operating and updating the server.

Grakor: Grakor is the "vice-admin." He's the one to go to with any disputes that may not have been able to be resolved with another GM, and he's also pretty much the head 'law' or 'enforcer' GM.

Content GM

Note: For a time, the content GMs were split up into different focuses - Storyteller and Builder. They've since been merged back together, and now content GMs can do both NPC-related and world-building tasks.

The same shade of green you are all used to, the job of the Content GM is to take care of a variety of on-server tasks, such as NPC interactions as well as some spawning. They serve as the Racial Leaders, Guards, and are the driving force behind events. That said, what good would be a production without a stage, props and lighting to set the mood and tone? Content GMs also have the task of working in the background and making sure the scene is set for the players and their fellow GM's to act out whatever plot the community has prepared.

Think a capital city needs to be improved? Need some props added around a zone for a large group of RP'ers? Have an idea for an adventure? Send it over to these guys!

Counselor GM

Next to being an Enforcer GM, the Counselor GM takes on a certain focus of dealing with interpersonal matters in the community. It is to the Counselor you should turn when you wish to speak "behind closed doors", between four eyes and twenty fingers. And, although the Counselor specializes in social/interpersonal matters, feel free to speak about any issue you experience within the community or the functionality of the server as a whole.

Enforcer GM

Sadly, rules seem to always serve the purpose of being broken in some regard, and the Enforcer GM is there to help. These staff members help with watching and making sure chat rules are followed, and any sort of metagaming or blatant powergaming is quickly and effectively dealt with. Someone causing trouble or need to PM a GM some screenshots? Send it to them! (But, feel free to send it to any of us.)

Forum GM

Forum GMs are Game Masters that mainly focus on forum work and moderation.

Trial GM

Trial GMs are recently promoted GMs who are learning the ropes of their new positions. They aid the other staff members in their duties.

How do I become a GM?

You cannot become a GM via donations, which we are aware is common on other servers. Players may be invited to become GMs if they show maturity, a keen interest in developing the server, and trustworthiness, all of which take time for existing GMs to notice. Do not ask to become a GM. Don't call us, we'll call you.
