==Wurm staff==
Wurm is developed and staffed by a team of employees and volunteers. Please refer to the [[https://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/4976-wurm-online-staff/ forum list]] for the most up to date list.
==The founding developers==
Wurm Online was originally created by [[User:Rolf|Rolf Janssen]] (Rolf) and [[User:Notch|Markus Persson]] (Notch). Up until 2007 Notch and Rolf continued to work together on the game; developing the client and server sides respectively. In 2007 Notch retired, but Rolf continued working on the game and created the Client Development Team to continue improving the client.
===What do developers do?===
Developers are responsible for a vast array of things from fixing bugs to creating graphics, maintaining the website, managing sysadmin and much more. They directly affect the game by making changes to code, adding content, and altering how things work.
A CM is a player that has taken on responsibilities in addition to playing the game. They moderate all public chat channels and enforce the chat rules. They also take /support calls to assist players when GMs are unavailable, and resolve calls that can be fixed without GM intervention. They are able to reach GMs across multiple servers if necessary. Discord moderators moderate chat on the official Wurm discord.
=== The Chat Rules ===
All chat rules are listed on the Wurm forum [https://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/123123-wurm-rules/&do=findComment&comment=1265237 here].
If you disagree with a mutewarn or a mute, please message the Lead Chat Moderator to discuss your situation.
==== Typical mute example ====
* A player says something that violates the chat rules.
* The CM will post a log of the incident where it will be reviewed by the CM and GM teams, both to determine if proper action was taken, and if any further action is needed.
=== Spotting a fake CM ===
The entire staff (except CAs, PRAs, and FMs) are immune to the /ignore command. As a good practice, if someone contacts you claiming to be a CM, immediately issue a /ignore on their name. Issuing /ignore Oracle in chat results in "You may not ignore Oracle." and thus is a trusted person to talk to. Another way is to attempt to give the person a negative reputation in a settlement, the game will tell you:"please make sure that <staffmember name> is a normal player."
