    Next we headed to the GM room, but it was nearly deserted. From what I remember last year, the GMs start to come in at around 1 PM. We got to meet Ruth, the former Wedding GM. Last year she was the only Wedding GM and we didn't get to do more than a quick wave at her. She told us that she'd been training other GMs to handle weddings and so now she was doing something else and the responsibility no longer rests solely on one person. That was good news to hear! I can't imagine being the only person to handle weddings. Ruth was very nice and what made her infinitely cooler was the PaRappa the Rapper doll at her work station. Give her atittude in game and she'll Kick-Punch-Block you in the face.

    Anywho, woulda been neat to see some GM + Frog screenshots Did anyone get?
    GM didn't appear in game, sorry! And yea, not my 640x480, I play in like 1440x900.

    Just 6...5f got 1 charm off, 6f got 0 off. People were using 2hrs/etc 'cause we were worried about timing out before killing 6f frog after standing idle for 45minutes.

    Meh, we're pretty upset at the zone recently.

    Here is our last 3 months of Zhayolm. Every run had both frogs killed. Every run had a TH4+Mandau THF. 23 runs, 11 drops, 8 of them being Enlil's drops. Would be nice to see some Skadi!

    Yeah, you work in the SE building at wherever it is if you're a GM. GMs working from home would be... undisciplined at best.

    I would be afraid of Iskaldur... name is too close to someone that strikes fear in to the hearts of men.

    All the FFXI GMs work in-house at the SE offices in LA. If they get to work from home, they are usually...parents or have lots of connections. Usually a combination of both.

    The GM responded a few seconds after I sent the call. I didn't mention Einherjar - but I was standing in Hazhalm Testing Grounds.... easy Vampyr boss on the wing-III, hmm.
    am i the only one to find it funny that the rmt wished him a good day and he was angry that the rmt was been polite? the swine's! lol

    Ojore at his best!

    I have called both of these GMs before, Ojore Iskaldur are very responsive when it comes to helping players it seems. Maybe SE has changed the way they are training these individuals or gave them more rights to help out.

    I'd like to have this case reviewed and this GM removed. They don't even know what game you're playing, much less the game mechanics. To think that one actually knows how salvage works is a complete joke.
