I became GM for a day

I was sitting on my five boxing characters in the morning, and did the quest to get the polymorph pig spell, but unfortunaly the quest was bugged, and no one of my three mages received the spell after completing the quest. So i wrote a ticket from one of my mages (DudeThree) and explained the situation, the gamemaster told me that the ticket would be escalated and he told me to write a ticket on DudeFour and DudeFive to, which is my other two mages, i did that, and logged off.

When i logged on again in the afternon, i walked over to a mailbox and all the three mages had received an nice mail from the same gamemaster that i had received the spell, great great, two of the mages received another mail to, congratulating them that they had bought collectors edition, and i got a quest to receive a neat little unique pet, i thought that it was a bit cool that i actually had received such an thing for "just" a little bug and a little wait time for my spell?

Suddently i discovered that two of my characters had a <GM> tag in the chat (i have a little channel to show errors and whispers received from all chars, using an addon)

It showed up that the two characters was completely invinsible to both mobs and players, i were able to kill both players and mobs without them seeing me, unfortunaly i had to make an attack to a mob with a maximum of about 2 secons delay as the mob else would reset. I was also able to speek with alliances, and it was actually impossible for me to die on the two chars as being invinsible.

I played a bit round checking different things, and then decided to write another gm ticket to tell them to "fix" my account again, i was pretty scared for a ban, because i was so damn curious :p

Anyway, i had a nice talk with the gamemaster who actually flagged my as a gm by an mistake, very nice person and we talked a bit about boxing, and he wanted to know how i am multiboxing (i was actually pretty scared when he started to ask me if i was using hardware or software to multibox, etc. But i just answered pretty honestly).

Unfortunaly i couldn't get a game recorder to work, i tried both fraps and gamecam without luck, but here is some screenshots.

I just whispered and alliance, wtf?!

http://tivoli.latestdot.eu/gmstuff/gmlille004.jpg
My [5] channel is the channel where the error messages and whispers is redirected to. Remark the: "The spell cannot be cast on beastmaster or invis god targets.", this occured when i tried to buff myself with "Arcane Intellect".

I was standing in the middle of a big pack of mobs with "Show own name" toggled on. Omg! I don't aggro the mobs, as i am invinsible to them :o

The last screenshots is from when i talked to the gamemaster ind the end, and got my gm flag removed again (because of my weak soul :p)

http://tivoli.latestdot.eu/gmstuff/gmlille019.jpg
Epic screenshot! On two of the characters an alliance is writing "Bur" on the two others the characters is writing "lol".

Quick translation from the post on my forum, i just wanted to share the experience with you ;)

I had that happen once after a GM took control of my character to resolve an issue. Mine got fixed after only a few minutes though. :(

This happens when a GM has to log into your character to fix something, they turn the GM flag on and forget to turn it off. You did the right thing reporting it never heard of it lasting more then a day anyway.

i wonder how much trouble you would get in if you went to ironforge and started targeting and .kill people, just drop the whole town, or ever .add item 1763 or whatever, you could have had epix! epix man! but that would prolly be ban worthy lol

Nice screenshots man, i've never heard of that before

That would be so full of ban its not funny. :( would be extremly awesome though do create a shit ton of epix and put them in everyones bags and banks and shit... basiicly just reak havoc and make GMs have to do alot of work. But yea most deffinately ban worthy.

Wow, that's pretty cool...nice screenies too! :)

yeah, thats one of the most epic mistakes ive ever seen.

and i would have totally let myself get banned just so i could abuse the powers. Friggin run through northshire and level all the noobs up to 70. or 71 even O.O.

you should have run your guild through BT and Hyjal. that would have been epic.

Hehe, it was indeed very cool to experience although i didn't had commands like .kill .die. additem and stuff, this strictly belongs to private servers afaik and have nothing to do with live servers.

I found a list of old wow beta commands which all players could use at that time, for example give money commands, etc. although no of the commands i tried worked. I also tried /console port <playername> which was working on the ttr's, but this command returned "You do not have permission blabla".

But i think there maybe was some actions i could take, although i didn't know how to use them.

I'm pretty sure you can only do GM "commands" from within the Blizzard IP range. Otherwise o.0

Hehe well, who knows...? :)

Although i really doubt that gamemasters use "dot" commands like on private servers.

I don't even think that a gamemaster would have much power, maybe there is different levels of what gamemasters are able to do.

Personally I'd have explored ssc/tk/bt, maybe hyjal, cuz I'm a lore whore and those're places I haven't seen all of yet :p Wouldn't kill anything though or screw with levels cuz then I could get in trouble rather than simply have a little non-advantageous fun while it lasts lol

Info!

Sorry, for bumping old stuff

I have on a very good source..

That GM's access commands through ingame console

You can see this by adding

-console

eg.
"D:\WoW DUAL BOX\WoW1\Wow.exe" -console"

To your WoW shortcut

If your account is flagged you are able to do a help gm
This will list all GM commands.

You can do this through /<whatever> as well.. However "help gm" will dump ALL GM commands to the console.

btw: Open console with ~

Errr. Screenshot shows my realm as Lich King - Dont worry about this. been trying to log onto WoTLK server

/setlevel 255

Go pawn in enemy capitals.

I'm not sure if I could resist the tempatation to do that if a GM accidentally left me GM flagged... 8o 8o

haha nice ;)

You could clear BT / Hyjal all on your on with .kill xD. I tried my own pr!v. server for testing several 70's doing an Instance. so I looked for some GM commands, and this one kept in my memory ^^

First thing that came to mind is: go to the alliance cities and convert all the guards to horde faction >)
But I wouldn't want to get my account banned though, so I'd be nice :P

1. Blood Elf Paladin
2. Orc Shaman
3. Tauren Shaman
4. Tauren Druid
5. Troll Shaman
6. Undead Priest
7. Undead Mage
8. Undead Warlock
9. Undead Rogue

Exactly lol, i would make some 70's on other servers aswell ^^

That actually has a chance to be missed? Of you make entire cities go mad, it's very likely to be unnoticed :P

The .xxx commands actually only work on private servers.. GM's have a tool (Works like an addon and is called "GMTool" ) which allows them to do most of the stuff they do, but they can also use the console to command their actions.
What actions a GM can take, is limited based on the type of GM account they have.. Meaning that a standard GM, working in the callcentre with all the others (usually there's about 100-200 GM's for all the EU realms at one time), can do almost nothing, and must ask a senior GM to do stuff. Senior GM's have the power to create items (Using /console commands), give spells etc etc..
