Can't think of a witty title

[miruka]

I just realized that GMs were probably first conceptualized (is that a word? is now) to be a semi-visible force like the Judges in FFT, but it was probably too distracting to have people call them over just to be like "dude! I wanted to see your cool armor." They're pretty much non-existant for us now, which kind of is a problem in itself, I think

lol yea I agree with that. GM's would probably way more effective there were specific ones assigned to each world and they just randomly ran around or posted up in problem areas with a ban-stick in one hand and an 'unstuck' button in the other hand.

I find the first question in lolSageSundi's interview especially funny.

GMs are customer service professionals in FINAL FANTASY XI that possess a rich knowledge of our games. (read: Fanbois of our single player FF games but have no idea how FFXI works.) Their goal is to directly connect players within the game to our services, acting as the first line in our service front. They aim to help you achieve the best gaming environment possible and to help solve any problems that you may have. Only people with passion and an understanding of these goals can become GMs.

But how can you send a GM a tell? lol

/t name doesn't work for it, although not sure if /t [GM]name would. I've always thought the only way to talk to one was to reply, I've never seen someone just send a GM a tell.

Hmmm that's true, lol.

Eh? /t their name works. Maybe they just ignored you when you tried it, but it does work.

How would it work?

I've seen players named Luminous, and there's a GM named Luminous. If[GM]Luminous goes on the same server as a Luminous, how would the game know the difference between who you're trying to send the tell to?
