==Develoment GM==
A Development Team GM does not generally work directly with customers, choosing to focus mainly on creation and system coding. They are the designers of the game, and participate not only in the implementation and development of ideas, but also in the physical creation of them. This can be something as simple as the simple addition of a new verb to something as complicated as a massive change in the core game mechanics.

GameMasters

A GameMaster or GM is a member of the Simutronics staff involved with in-game creation, events, policy enforcement, and more. GameMasters can be separated into two primary categories: Customer Experience and Development. While these categories denote a GM's principal responsibilities, it is common for GM's to contribute in many areas outside their main focus.

Customer Experience GM

A Customer Experience GM handles most customer interaction. This interaction ranges from answering questions about technical issues and basic gameplay, to running merchant events and major invasions or storylines. Some Customer Experience GMs also work with Weddings, monitor the public message boards, perform liaison duties between the players and the Development team, and handle all types of player concerns and feedback.

Wedding GMs

Wedding GMs along with Wedding Coordinators communicate with players who pay for a GM Assisted Wedding.

  • Coordinate wedding time and date
  • Create custom items for the wedding including wedding clothes, food, drink, and party favors
  • Add room messaging during the event
  • Create temporary custom titles
  • Provide party invitations

Guild Liasions

Serve as communicators between the Guild Guru and the players through the forums and through in-game meetings. They often are the driving force behind roleplaying events involving their guild.

Premium GMs

  • Host monthly Premium (aka Estate Holder) meeting
  • Create new benefits for Premium members
  • Alter items through LTB scrolls
  • Create custom titles and personal messaging through LTB system
  • Provide special merchants and alterers

Note: GameMaster Rinae has been the head of the Premium team almost since Premium was first established in July 1997.

Race Champions

These are GameMasters who lead development and direction of a single playable race (Human, Elf, Rakash, etc...)

Develoment GM

A Development Team GM does not generally work directly with customers, choosing to focus mainly on creation and system coding. They are the designers of the game, and participate not only in the implementation asnd development of ideas, but also in the physical creation of them. This can be something as simple as the simple addition of a new verb to something as complicated as a massive change in the core game mechanics.

Guild Gurus

The primary developer in charge of their own guild's direction and development.

Systems GMs

These GameMasters code for various gamewide systems. They generally have their fingers in everything, including magic, combat, experience, survivals, lores, horses, substances, and on and on.

GameMaster Ranks

GameMasters progress through a series of ranks as their experience and responsibilities grow:

  • Assistant GameMaster (AGM)
  • Full GameMaster (FGM)
  • Senior GameMaster (SGM)
