The European World of Warcraft site release a profile of the life of a Game Master.Game Master maybe a hard job.A 24-hours-a-day-and-7-days-a-week job,wow,quite a hard job,really.

The Game Master¡®s Role

Many people have wondered on the forums what the Game Masters really do, why they act in such mysterious ways, or whether they even exist at all!

Game Masters will take on many roles during their travels, sometimes as a teacher, sometimes upholding the law, and sometimes investigating complicated bugs in the game. Although a Game Master is someone to go to when there is a problem in the world which needs to be fixed, Game Masters are sworn to secrecy with regards to the mysterious workings of the world, so you should never ask them for information about the game or for hints about how best to progress.

Many players enjoy the immersive nature of Azeroth. For this reason, every Game Master is taught to operate discreetly and to show themselves only when a situation strictly requires it. The vast majority of players will never see a Game Master¡®s distinctive robes in the game world. They will typically communicate by whispers so as to minimise any disruption to Azeroth?s inhabitants. Anyone who has seen a Game Master in person will testify that, on the rare occasions they become visible, they are very quickly surrounded by curious players! A Game Master¡®s whisper will always begin with <GM> followed by their name and so can easily be distinguished from a player?s whisper.
