Game Master

Overview

Game Masters, also known as GMs, are in charge of Arcadia Online; they patrol the game, answer e-mails, and monitor the server. They are usually hidden from view from players, only communicating with them if necessary via Gitlab, Discord, Forum, etc.

Special Commands

GMs have access to special commands which allow them to perform their job duties in the game.

Identification

In Game

  • GM character names always start with [GM]. Bot Hunters start with [BH]. Nobody else is able to have this in their name under normal circumstances.
  • GM characters' names will be displayed in yellow text.
  • GMs will never ask for any of your account details in-game. They will always request that you submit account related queries thru an issue on their Tracker. Do not ever provide any individual with any account information in-game, regardless of any reason they may devise for needing such information.
  • GMs will never ask for your password anywhere.
  • GMs use a distinct sprite. Males wear a white garment with gold trim, which extends down to the character`s feet, and females wear a white miniskirt with gold trim. All GM characters will be displayed with these special outfits.
  • GMs will never ask for items, zeny, equipment, etc. from any players for any reason. They will also not give out any items, zeny, equipment, etc. for any reason. The only exception to these two rules is in special cases.

If at any time during the course of gameplay you encounter a character who claims to be a GM but does not meet the above mentioned criteria, or seems suspicious/engages in suspicious behavior, please take a screenshot of this character and report it thru Forum, Discord or Tracker. It will be investigated as soon as possible, and you will be informed of whether this individual was a true GM or an impersonator.
