I was a gm once...

[BloodyHook12]

Basically a long time ago when I was hacked, the gm who restored my gold forgot to set my account status back to normal. I logged in, and when I spoke in guild chat, I saw the blizz tag next to my name lol.

So basically I got to speak to horde, run around invisibly, and could not get aggro from anything.

Of course when it was raid time, we had to restore me back to normal, because somebody believed that we wouldn't get loot from the boss if I were still gm at the time. I dunno if that was true, but do you guys happen to know? Also, what kinds of things was I also able to do as a gm? I tried looking for commands but nothing worked.

Hmm, heard this before. Shouldn't have had powers though.

Many people here will also most likely say "SS or it didn't happen" so try and post one :P

[BloodyHook12]

Damn i don't have any screenshots. But seriously, why would I make this up? I just want to know more information about what I "could've" done. I don't really mind if you believe it or not.

[Troys]

basicly nothing... you just have blizz tag

[skatrdie94]

Never heard of this
Kinda odd O.o
I woulda fraps'd it

[BloodyHook12]

lol it was really like the most fun I've had with WoW. I just wish I could've done more with it.

[Helstedxd]

i don't know

You can only access GM commands from Blizzard terminals. In other words, you must be in either their Irvine or their Austin offices.

With just the GM tag, you:

-Can talk to both factions.
-Can't be killed by mobs. It's possible you can't be hit either, I dunno.

I'm not sure what you mean when you say you were invisible. You shouldn't have that option.

Anyway, there's really not much you can do with a GM tag. However, if you pretend to be a real GM while you've mistakenly been given the tag (things like "hey this is <GM> Bloodyhook and I'll need all your gold for testing please, thanks"), you'll suffer some serious consequences.

Yeah that was pretty much all I was able to do. And I was invisible according to my guild. I believe I was not able to access the trade window, but not sure.

And no I didn't try anything stupid like scamming people lol, although it was really hard to resist.

And yeah I figured I wasn't allowed to do much anyway, thanks.

ye I have seen this before-- its just the chat tag, so ur able to talk cross-faction

the commands that we use on EMU servers are NOT the acctuall commands that GMs use on blizz servers, they have a whole seperate 2rd party program that they do their thing from its not the same as being a GM on a private server unfortunately

woulda been cool if you had screenshotted this tho :-(

WHY WOULDNT YOU SCAM ANYONE???????????

this is disgraceful.... I woulda went on a scamming-rampage! you my friend are a failure!

[BloodyHook12]

Yeah I figured they wouldn't have the same commands. But it was worth a try.

And yes I have a bad habit of not taking screenshots. -_-

Happened to me in past. I did post Screenie :P

And for your info you can loot mobs and bosses, however you have to keep up DPS or they bug/reset.

I got bored after soloing every heroic and clearing Kara (couldn't get into ZA because of gong, and 1 trash mob in BT took me 43 minutes to kill so gave up on that).



For fun I offered ZA GM Boosts for 5K. Took them about 5 minutes to remove my GM tag then :P (Though I got to keep my loot and badges)

[Greed]

I doubt this is on a retail server sorry, because GMs have a set account that can only be logged in from a central location.

[Boogster]

ROFL .... I just read about the GM thing .... I SO would have abused that xD
