Hello..I'm Chaos, the owner of Experience RO server.
I'm here just to inform my friends owners of other servers, about some GM experience I had in my server, I asked to yC, where I could post it, and she said to me, this place is the one wheres it fit better.
My intention is
not to make a
ranter circle or a
flame post, so, Ill just post one GM and Ill show proofs of what I'm talking about, if you guys think it's a good idea to prevent others to hire those "GMs", do the same here. I don't think it need replys or anything else, its just to knowledgement, and maybe it become a reference before owners hire someone to be GM.
Also, let me ask sorry for my bad english. I hope you all be able to understand it. ^_^

FACTS:Recently, I was trying to bring new life to my server, so I started to hire new GMs. I have a hard politic about hire new GMs, so all GMs to be, have a trial period of 30 days, not less. In this time, they all receive GM LVL 60, with restrictions. Some ppl can say its is not necessary, but Ill show to you all, it IS.
I have received 24 resumes from ppl wanting to be a GM in my server, one of those was this guy Michael. I made one interview with him, and he sound ok to be in trial. So I inserted him on trial system. Also I inserted more 10 GMs to be.
Its ok, all them was working nice.
Till last friday, when one of my GMs to be, made his first event (a cool event btw). During this event, the Shiftragoon (in server he choose the name "BlackRose") just said in his GM account in the map of event: This event is stupid. I was in hide mode, since I'm GM LVL 100, others GMs can't detect me in hide, so I was there following the event and I was able to see it.
I haven't said anything, but ok.
So, when the other GM was making the event, he (BlackRose), just started to summon Maya Purples in GM HQ and kill all with @killmonsters and when the GM was making event, you was able to see: "
won Maya Purple's Maya Purple Card (chance: 0.40%)"
After the event ended. I have a GM Group in MSN, so all GMs talk there, the GM who mad ethe event, complained to me, that the BlackRose was interrupting the event and all.
I agreed, of course it was totally true, and so the BlackRose and the event GM started to "fight".
After some time talking with both, I muted both in game, and talked with both on chat, so they agreed to forget everything and ok.
For me the "case" was over.
So I went to bed, was my sleep time.
When I wokeup, the first thing I normally do is check server, check forum, site, etc. So I did. When I loged on server I saw warps around all pronter (@addwarp). So players aren't able to stay in any place.
After it I restarted server and checked forum, so I found the follow on GMs private section:
Chaos,
The server needs restarted to get rid of all of the extra portals. BlackRose apparently thought it would be funny that, after you left, he would log onto the server via his GM account and ransack everything. After the quarrel that Frost and BR had, I thought things calmed down when BR wasn't responding with immature remarks to Frost. When BR said on msn "Hey log onto the server and look at the new decorations." I logged in and seen the entire map of Prontera filled with Baphomets.
After I killed the bapho's in TC I was disconnected by server, at first thinking this to be an error because of the baphomets.
So I warped to Morroc to stop the error where I was disconnected again. This is when I realized BlackRose was kicking me from the server. Knowing this I logged in and immediatly kicked him. Then I baned him for 1 hour so I had time to adjust everything. Thinking he might come back in an hour, I blocked him from the server. I'm sorry for blocking him without permission but I seen him as a danger to the server and I played the hand that was dealt to me. I quickly undid the gvg, pvp, and baphomets in Prontera, however I was unable to do anything about the warps located by TC. These warps lead to Louyang, and I tried many things to correct this issue. Apparently he didnt think to make a portal for newby spawns or kafra spawns, thankfully they spawn in a diffrent location. He only made a portal where GM's spawn with @go 0. I made a portal directly above this for anyone who dies so they would be teleported to prontera 156 180.
Sorry I acted without consulting you but this was after you had logged off. BlackRose said over msn he was quitting the trial and moving to a diffrent server and this is why he did this.
After read that, I just opened the MySQL Querry Browser and deleted the BlackRose GM and Legit account.
Also I checked all log of events and in fact the BlackRose @ 23:00 summoned not less than 50 Baphos on Prontera and turned it PVP and GVG field. (main city of server)
I checked all others transactions and events log and I saw theres none major damage than that. So the simple restart of server was able to solve everything (thats why GM LVL 60 for GMs to be is a best option).
And now, I'm here to advice all of you, my server owners friends, about this person.
I really DO NOT recommend him in any way.
He is childshi, he don't have ANY maturity or ANY requeriments to be a GM.
So, even if you are in one deadend and are looking for a GM, don't choose him. In the first moment, he will abuse of GM powers and will find a way to make your server have problems.
As I said before, I'm not asking for replys, this post is more one type of advice.
The damages could be a lot higher in server if this guy had more powers and if I had none other GM with atitude and maturity to deal with this troublemaker.
Thats all I have to say.
Thank you a lot for read. ^_^
Regards..
