=Wurm staff
Wurm is developed and staffed by a team of employees and volunteers.
The founding developers
Wurm Online was originally created by Rolf Janssen (Rolf) and 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.
