GAME MASTER INTERN

There is more to being a Game Master besides handling ban appeals, catching hackers, and hosting events. We bring our in-game experience and knowledge into discussions for future updates, and we need everyone's participation in proposing ideas, providing feedback, and voting for changes. We also expect participation with other backend activities such as testing new content, testing balance changes, and testing cash shop updates when needed. These testing routines can be a bit tedious, but are critical to maintaining the functionality of this game.

Furthermore, you must be able to plan and structure technical work, and be able to communicate this technical work in an intuitive manner to a general audience.
