GM's Running around lineage.

Some people have noticed people named GMxxxxx running around the world of lineage in purple robes. Rock from NC - Austin has commented on these people on the offical boards.
 


I see people have noticed the new GM body types that we are using in the game. I hope you like them. Our goal is very simple, just have fun and promote positive play experiences for everyone.

GM's don't give out items or show off spells, we feel that would be an inappropriate display of power.

GM's are just in the game to help players where appropriate and to show a human side to our customer service. Some people think we don't care, or we aren't human, or aren't ever in the game; this is just one way to address those concerns. The GM team is still busy helping people all the time even though we may spend some time chatting with people in the game.

We can't help everyone in the game because we get so many requests. Many times the GM will ask you to email so we can do more research on an issue, or make sure that it gets properly reported. Email or the web interface is still the best and the fastest way to get service if you need it. We're monitoring those channels 24/7 ready to help you

Monitor popped up beside me last time cuz I wouldn't leave new land and thought I was a complete newbie and told me to report and stuff... I bookmarked the place o.o(orange stuff everywhere, like old TI ground if anyone's old enough to remember o.O)

And what inappropriate display of power.... I'd think some people would LOVE to see any spells they haven't seen.

human side of customer service?
I've never seen or heard a GM do anything.
on online game I played the first time you log in a GM would give you a walk through. I think all online games should do that. :)

what's up with their names? on nc support website it says nc employees will be named GameMaster, Support, Monitor, or Admin with two numbers after their name...

this new naming thing is a good way to encourage account scammers, especially since anyone can make a character named GMBob and morph into a rarely used morph

If you ever see someone that has a name 'similar' to gamemaster but doesn't have the GM body, they aren't a GM. All GM's use a special body type that is different from the player body types.

Might be worthwhile to point out that all monitors and GM's are employees, not players or volunteers.

Also, anyone that is impersonating a support staff member is subject to suspension of their account. We watch very closely for this sort of thing.

Hope that helps to clear things up a bit. :-)

I really like the idea of seeing "Gods" in the game that I play. I would like them to be a little more active when they show up, however. Rather than just be there for being there. I agree with #3 and #6, I would love to see a display of power. They should be, after all, the most powerful beings in the game. If I see one, I want to be in awe, not just "Hey, a GM. Neat" I understand not giving out items and smoting people with ease, but a kewl spell or neat thing would be nice to see. Anyway, I can't wait to see one roaming about.

#17 thats not necessarily true lemme tell you a funny story:

One day back when I was a noob(lvl 20-25) there was this super strong Knight on kent bridge on ken server pking people who walked on the bridge(I wont say his name).After this guy killed like 5 people like half the server came to fight this guy. He was whipping everyones arse,killing noobs and snatching their bone armor and rks's.Then a Monitor came and told this knight to get off the bridge and let people walk by. The Monitor was in the pk zone telling him this though.
The Knight ran up to him and attacked the Monitor.Now get this...The Monitor died and then he resed himself and split his body into like 5-6 bodies and all of them started punching the crap out of the Knight..it was the weirdest and funniest thing I ever saw. I heard that later that Knight got banned.I laughed my arse off after this.

So I dont think that what you said is true based on this incident.Or there might be exceptions to that.

I'm not sure this is a good thing or what... Good I guess.. about time though I must say. Maybe there will more customer service, more baning of these ppl makeing absolutly rude coments.
I almost stoped playing all together after the drop event, when all weekend long (it seemed anyway) Some player was making comments about ,,, well never mind I wont say what but I will say it was just plain crude. and nothing was done that weekend. ashamed they would have an event and not have anyone monitoring the game all weekend long.
Quick ? for ppl... could someone tell me of a good progarm for getting screen shots ?

Please Please Please get this cleared up for me.
My impression from reading this is that as I already knew the new 3D lin will also have a 2D mode (useful for seige etc) that can be toggled on/off, but here is what that aanouncement says to me. You will keep all your characters, items, etc. as the 3D engine is gradually implemented over top of the present 2D interface.
Correct me if I am wrong!!! Somebody who KNOWS not just a bunch of opinions, rumors, specualation please. I must say that if I lose all my items and hardwork... by then Star Wars will be out and I'll be so gone!

lvl 47 -55 AC +7 yumi in 2 weeks is quite possible
first of all
u have to be an experienced lineage player
second of all
got to have time to spare

hell
even a new player to lineage
if u ever played other mmorpgs before
then u can easily adapt to the lineage environment
and quickly gain a strong ass character

if u're lucky
u can get extremely rich easily by blowing up items and selling to ppl
ppl I know in the game make over 10 mil a week off blowing up items
risky way of making money, but very possible
