| − | ==Developers==
| |
| − | ===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.

| − | ==Game Masters==
| |
| − | In Wurm Online the Game Masters (GMs) serve several purposes, some pertaining more to certain server types. They mediate player conflicts that may result from griefing, examine bugs, investigate exploits, and a handful of other less colorful things. GMs are responsible for enforcing rules throughout the game and handling the penalties given to players that refuse to follow them.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The original GMs were chosen from the initial player-base by the founding developers. Since then that tradition has continued with new GMs being selected by the Head Game Master and the current team. This means that all GMs are players just like us! Typically a GM is someone that has long term game experience, has shown a willingness to help and contribute to the community, and may have spent time as one of the many other volunteer roles.
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you require a GM, but are unable to log an in-game support ticket, please email gamemods@wurmonline.com to ensure that your issue is handled by the soonest available GM, rather than waiting on an individual GM to answer a forum PM.

| − | == Chat Moderators ==
| |
| − | 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 players do not follow the rules they can find themselves warned (mutewarn), or muted. Muted means that they cannot talk in any channel until the mute expires or is lifted. This includes asking for "help/guards!" from the Tower Guards.
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you receive a mutewarn, do not argue or sound off in the public chat channels! Starting an argument in public after a mutewarn is likely to get you muted.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 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.
| |
| − | * A CM issues a mutewarn. This will appear in that scary orange color in the offender's event window.
| |
| − | * The player continues to violate the rules.
| |
| − | * The CM may issue additional warnings, or mute the player.
| |
| − | * Repeat offenders, or gross violation of the chat rules, are likely to get longer mutes, possibly without warnings.
| |
| − | * 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."

| − | == Community Assistants ==
| |
| − | The Community Assistants (CAs) are players who volunteer to spread their knowledge and advice to new players, primarily through the CA Help channel. The names of available CAs are listed in the box to the right of the CA Chat channel, and they use blue text so that their answers are more visible.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Please note that neither [[Elevation]], an [[epic cluster]] server, nor [[Chaos]], a [[Freedom|freedom cluster]] server, have a CA Help channel. Chat Moderators (CMs) are also considered CAs.
