What are Game Masters
In Wurm GM's serve several purposes, some pertaining more to certain server types. They mediate player conflicts that may result in grief, examine bugs, investigate exploits and a handful of other less colorful things. GM's are responsible for enforcing rules throughout the game and handle the penalties given to players that refuse to follow them.
As a quirky side note Wurm actually refers to its head gm as game master while the rest of the GMs are referred to as game moderators.
Who are Game Masters
The original GM's were chosen by the founding developers from the playerbase. Since then that tradition has continued with new GM's being selected by the Head GM and the current team. This means that all GM's are players just like you! Typically a GM is someone that has long term game experience, shown a willingness to help and contribute to the community, and may have spent time as a CM.

GM Myths
There are a lot of idea's about what a gm can and cannot do. In a lot of cases they are happy to surprise you! However here is a short list of some things they can't help you with.
- Locating corpses - There are no tools to do this.
- Destroying abandoned structures/objects - GM's are under very specific guidelines for item destruction. Generally 'only in the event of a bug or exploit' is a good guideline to expect.
- Spawning animals - Unfortunately if your pet gets stuck somehow the only thing a gm can do is put it out of it's misery. Spawn rights are reserved for Devs and the Head GM and are very rarely used in game.
