Typical day as a GM

Many of you might ask, what is exactly the role of a GM (game master). So I thought it might be interesting to give you a quick background of whats it like working in a gaming company.
To start with, a GM is responsible to all the needs/concerns of the gamers. They make sure that everything is in place, just like what we do in our forums. We see to it that as much as possible, we can give enough time to communicate with you (gamers) and hear your voices. A GM must also have a lot of patience...hehe! why? because many gamers are cursing and punking US. But, yeah, we have to understand your situation. The reason why we're here is to listen and help. We have to maintain a positive disposition. So I suggest that we must respect each other in order for us to solve the problems in the easiest way. On the other hand, we are also in-charge for the maintenance of each server that you're playing. We make sure that all of them are running smoothly so you can enjoy your gaming experience throughout the day. ^_^ So as you can see, that's basically our daily routine.

As much as I want to share our world as a GM, we're not allowed to divulge certain aspects of what we are doing. It's for self protection purposes. (I hope you understand T_T)

As I finish this post, many of my co-employees are playing online games. Wehehe! What's the use of working in a gaming company if we don't play? ^_^
