    GM How To

    I was browsing around the blizzard site and couldn't find any information on how to become a Blizzard Game Master. Does anyone have any information or a web page on how to do this? The Blizzard Careers site doesn't seem to have anything about GMs and most of the job listings are for California so please give me any info if possible.

    The first test to become a GM is to find out how to become one on worldofwarcraft.com.


    so you fail!

    to master the game, you must become the game!

    Can we find out why would you like to become GM ?
    Not trying to flame, just interested.

    The fact that you have to move to France (or, for US, where ever their HQ is), would probably stop you from wanting to become a Gamemaster, would be my guess.

    I believe they also have positions somewhere in Ireland. I could with Ireland.

    Moving to the US wouldn't be that bad tbh. I'd love to live there.

    So all Game Masters on EU servers are either Irish or French?

    This is not satisfying 8)

    We should do something about it...

    http://us.blizzard.com/en-us/company/careers/ hit "Search for jobs"

    For game masters, you're probably looking at Search by Team -> "Customer Service - In-Game Services"

    I don't see any "WE WANT YOU!" ads on Worldofwarcraft.com. I guess they really don't need any more game masters.

    Think there is one office in paris and one in ireland or something. And the HQ in california. And to work as a GM you have to move there. Read about it briefly.

    A Game Master would fall under "Customer Services" sub-category being "In-Game services".

    They'd more hire on their business site than their end user site

    Go to the website.

    Scroll down.

    Click on the button which says "BLIZZARD IS HIRING!" It's blue, to the right of the "Need Help: SUPPORT" button, just below the community spotlight.
    I shall die here. Every inch of me shall perish. Every inch, but one. An inch. It is small and it is fragile and it is the only thing in the world worth having. We must never lose it or give it away. We must never let them take it from us.

    It will never flat out say "GM" game masters are inherently part of customer service, you would have to look up customer service section. But having to tell you this means your some ways behind actually know what you need to become one.

    Re: GM How To

    I am curious though I don't know about out of country employment, how it works. I mean do you need to be already established in France, Taiwan or Ireland in order to be considered for hire or would they accept being in the US and moving out if accepted for the job position and be "assisting" or patient on you in the assimilation of the move there type thing.

    I mean I have "heard" of both scenarios happening I just do not know what the common practice is.

    I'm currently an unemployed college student who has been searching for work for near a year now. I am passionate about the game and wouldn't mind being a part of it, even if only a small part. And you need to go to www.blizzard.com and look at their Careers section near the bottom of the page.

    I didn't look up "Game Master", I looked in the Customer Service and in other sections. It seems that their Careers site is designed around finding the more "top-level" jobs for programmers and such.
