Since everyone knows games really are created for creatures to have some players to kill.
Hi all, I'm GM Jorgen. I'm part of the World Building team. We spend time making every location that you, the player, will see in the game. Thanks to Simutronics my dream have come true - to make games. If anyone reading this thread has the same dream, apply for a GM position today! It's an amazing chance to get into the game industry. And if you get it, it's a lot of fun.
And, oh, being a (Norwegian) Viking, I'd love to get some Scandinavian colleagues...
See ya in Elanthia!

Hi there! I'm GM Callida. Like Sev, I'm on quests. I first became involved with Simutronics in 1996 when I started playing DragonRealms. I was hired to DR in 1999, and as Koyta, I worked on more quests and merchants than should be considered legally sane. I moved to HJ in early 2004 and made a name change. See, Koyta has a rat who lives on her head, and while HJ has lots of beautiful art, a rat on the head just isn't there. Koyta simply isn't Koyta without her rat.
I love being a GM. It's great being able to create things for people to enjoy on a daily basis. Currently, I'm working on a quest. My next project is also a quest. I expect my project after that will be a quest as well! I'm a very detailed person, so I enjoy hiding secrets in quests. Like Zee, I don't like the quests that send you out to kill 300 rabbits, or tell you to keep killing those rabbits until one happens to drop the evil glowing amulet of bunny doom. Where are the rabbits carrying those amulets anyway? I like a story with my quests. I hope you'll enjoy the stories too.
I'm Cinnamon, everyone's favorite spice. (shut up Axiom)
I'm a GIRL gamer, and I feel I have to say that, because people think we are a myth. I'm currently in college seeking a degree in something I'm terrible at, but I love a challenge. Programming WOOT! I however am not an HJ programmer, and there is good reason for this. They want the game to work. I also run a girl gamer website and am very involved with the gaming community as a whole. I shall keep my other identities a secret, because...well mostly because it's just fun to make people wonder.
I use to play Simutronics games way back when and always loved them, so I was so excited to get the chance to work for them.
I do a little world building but am mostly the person you other webmasters will be harassing for screenshots and the like. No this is not an invitation to harass me.
Anyway, hello nice to meet everyone and yes I'm always this crazy.
I'm Rowell, a member of the World Building Team for Hero's Journey. I have to say that I've been excited ever since I received my GM acceptance letter many many moons ago. Since then, I've gone through training and many classes to get up to speed on the very impressive tools that Hero's journey is being built with.
One thing that I can say about all the GM's, from the various teams...they are all gamers, with their hearts and minds in the game. I know that everyone is not only dedicated to making sure Hero's Journey meets all the requirements set down, but that it will also exceed expectations and definitely be the game that so many gamers have been looking for. We're pretty much all helping to build the game that we'd like to play.
Right now, I've been working on optimizing one of the starting cities, making sure that everything is just right, and that everything looks perfect. Several of my fellow GMs are doing the same thing. I know that each of us are excited for you all to get the opportunity to see it for yourselves, and explore.
I look forward to hearing from all the users here on what their hopes and dreams for Hero's Journey are, and to continue building what is destined to be a great game.

GM Tulrath here. I've been doing level design and world building for... well, a long time (I got started with Wolfenstein 3D and Hexen). Now, I'm a member of the World Building Team for Hero's Journey, and having the time of my life (wish you were here)
I wish I could tell you more, but all I can say is that we are building a world like nothing you've ever seen before -- you will be amazed and surprised -- you'll feel a giddy sense of wonder and awe. I simply can't wait to see you all in-game so you can begin to experience this fantastic journey.
I would also like to thank MMORPG.COM for providing such an incredible resource for gamers, and thank all of you for your continued interest in Hero's Journey.
I don't think there's much left for me to say after all those detailed introductions! I'm Mitra, and I run the very exciting Quests team. I have been working for Simutronics for six years now, having transfered to Hero's Journey from GemStone IV, where I ran the World team. I've always enjoyed both storytelling and art - now I get to combine the two! We work hard, but it hardly feels like work most of the time. Reading these forums help give us a sense of what you all are looking for in a game of this sort, and we've got a proud tradition of using player (or in this case, future player) suggestions whenever possible!
I forgot to add that I am a Gurl gamer too, and no we are not a myth.. In fact there are quite a few of us out here that people aren't aware of. Ooooo Ahhhh Thanks for letting everyone know about us. hehehe
Silence is golden, then the kitty purrs in your ear. ~GM-Vandique~ ~World Team~ ~Hero''s Journey~
Hello all, I've been hanging around these boards for several weeks now but I guess I should officially introduce myself.
I'm GM Sisca and I also work on the world team helping to craft all of the common areas that you'll gather in to eat, drink, pillage and plunder.
I've been a gamer, in one form or another, for most of my life dating back to the days of the old Coleco handheld LED sports games and the original D&D. Since 1999, and a little game called EverCra...err EverQuest, I've been an avid MMO fan, so getting an opportunity to help build this amazing world is a dream come true.
I'm HJ-Dezorin, developer GM for Hero's Journey. I've been a big fan of Simutronics since I began playing Gemstone in about 2000. Since then I've tried several other MMOPRGs, and to my surprise, very few of them can live up to the professionalism and awesome in-game support provided by Simutronics. Also, I have to say, Gemstone's community is among the best group of people I've ever had the pleasure of interacting with, hands down.
I've been interested in HJ ever since I heard about it, and now to be working on it with the great folks of Simu and all their GMs is a real treat. Somebody pinch me!
Being a developer GM means I get to use HSL to create the inner workings of Hero's Journey. Right now I'm working on an in-game (or in HeroBlade anyway) user interface for other GMs to make use of an upcoming system that will add spice and polish to their areas and maps. Not much I can say about it, really, since it's not terribly exciting to players, however, you'll all experience it in the end!
I am GM Caradec. I work with fellow gamemasters on one of the quest teams. Basically one of the people responsible in providing you the spice required to be a hero. You cant be a hero if there is no adventure and let me tell you, with all the imaginative minds at work here at Simutronics, adventure is something you can count on.
Add the incredible visual to the adventure, and you have something most gamers only dream about. If you could only see some of the areas in development in a three dimensional view versus just a picture, it is not only breath-taking but jaw-dropping to say the least.

Hello this is GM Tigkoly. I am still shocked that they are letting me out of the cage in the dungeon, and actually encouraging me to talk to others. Any harm done is not my fault, unless you are in Hero's Journey...then it might be.
I am on the development team. Team R.I.P. to be exact. Yes just like the name suggests I am working on the Death/Rezz system. I wish we could get rid of the Rezz part and just kill all the players who atempt to hurt our NPC's, but they are requiring us to allow you to Rezz back to life as well.
I work with scripts and don't get to see daylight, much less much of the Amazing world they are building up there.
If you don't like they way you die, I am sure we will kill you better next time.
GM Tigkoly
PS If you become to Uber at killing our nice pets, well I might just have to pop in-game and kill you myself just for fun. They do give us GMs nice tools to play with. But then again I would have to hear about how that is not allowed and blah blah blah. Please just die nicely and leave the poor hate mongering NPCs to ravage the world.
I am GM Alaya, also a Feral Suwari! Beware the cat brigade! .
I am on World team, that means we are building your cities and common areas. And you can bet we are trying to make them as beautiful, engaging and interesting as possible! My current project has something to do with a forest and a very evil mage... but hey... I can't tell you more. Wouldn't want to spoil it for you.
Also if you are not living in the US, don't worry! Just apply anyway, if you want to join our team. I am from Europe ... and let me tell you that I am not the only GM from the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.
Unlike the other GM's of Hero's Journey, I am not kept in a dungeon, chained to a wall, or in a cage.
In fact, I don't even get a cage.
Instead, I'm kept in what I like to call the Hole of the Ages. We're talking near center of the earth deep here. There's no light, no food... well, you get the idea. I have been provided an electrical outlet and an ethernet connection though. Amazing thing, technology. Sometimes I get to thinking that I've been forgotten down here. But then someone up high drops down a brick and...
Anyways, the people over at Simu and other offsite staff call me special.
Er. No, not like that. Rather, I'm working on sound effects and music. I... think I'm the only offsite person doing this, too. So I guess you could say I'm on my own special team. Team Special (hence why everyone calls me special, heh)!
My goals are to create screeching, ear jarring experimental music that drives the playerbase near to the brink of insanity (or, if the playerbase is already insane... near to the brink of sanity) since I won't be raining death and destruction upon innocent adventurers. Buuuuut, my goals will most likely never see the light of day.
Team Special has a supervisor.
Instead, what you should be hearing are sounds and melodies that will give life to the world of HJ, and further enrich the playing experience. There's definately going to be a lot to it.
So, if you hear it, that'd be myself or my supervisor sprinkling our magical music dust all over.
Wear protective head gear.

--Yeah, good morning! I wake up alone beneath my down covers... ... and drop the record needle onto another new life.--
Been working as a GM for Simu for mumbledy mumble years in Gemstone, and started in HJ with the core group. I may have come in with the first group of GMs, but that does not mean I don't still walk into the hinges of a door instead of through it from time to time. While my fellows here at HJ work on building the world and its systems, my team is working on bringing on, training, and feeding (it's a metaphor!) GMs. I'm also part of the super secret radical dissident resistance movement that is lobbying for improvements to the play.net forums, but shhhh.. don't tell anyone. There are a few of us here on the inside. We have a secret handshake and everything.

As for me, well, I've been playing games longer than most people have had computers, including a long stint in DragonRealms (under another name, of course). This is not the first game that I've worked behind the scenes on, but I'd rather let my experiences here tell their own story. Speaking of which, that's something I love to do - tell stories, write songs and entertain. I look forward to seeing all of you in Hero's Journey - I know I'm just as excited about playing it as you are!

It's great to see so many dedicated and hardworking people behind the game that will become my favorite of all time, Hero's Journey! I am an old player of both GS and DR, I beta tested DR and played a human Paladin by the name of Kyndoll D'Urgyer for almost 10 years. I loved DR and would still play but my wife isn't into text-based games so I'm playing WoW for now.
One of you said to ask if we had any questions so I have a couple here for you:
I love the screenshots and small trailers you have but they led me to a question... are there fat people in HJ? I've seen the screenshot of character creation and it looks great but I have yet to see anyone that isn't perfectly proportioned in any screenshots. I will play and love the game regardless but fat and ugly people tend to make a game even more realistic and allow for many roleplaying opportunities.
I was also curious if there will be any form of animal taming or familiars and such like DR. I loved my pet raccoon as a Ranger and my gerbil as a Warmage. I would love to see a class or an ability learnable by all classes to tame and hunt with a pet similar to Hunters in WoW. If you can't tell, I'm a big fan of pets in games... I was also a Creature Handler in Star Wars Galaxies but they decided we weren't worthy. Anyway, if anyone reads all this ranting... thanks for listening and hopefully responding.
Thanks to all you GMs who were kind enough to introduce yourselves to us.
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
I am optimistically awaiting the release of Heros Journey to see if any mmorpg can get me back to the feeling of DragonRealms. I do truly miss the community feeling in the games I have been playing over the last few years since my departure from DR.
At this point I dont care to have the best armor, or be in the most uber guild. I just want good quality game play that I can come home to every night and lose myself in for a time.
So Im along for the ride, however long it will take. Dont let me down Simu, Im counting on you!

I've seen the screenshot of character creation and it looks great but I have yet to see anyone that isn't perfectly proportioned in any screenshots. I will play and love the game regardless but fat and ugly people tend to make a game even more realistic and allow for many roleplaying opportunities.
I was also curious if there will be any form of animal taming or familiars and such like DR. I loved my pet raccoon as a Ranger and my gerbil as a Warmage. I would love to see a class or an ability learnable by all classes to tame and hunt with a pet similar to Hunters in WoW. If you can't tell, I'm a big fan of pets in games... I was also a Creature Handler in Star Wars Galaxies but they decided we weren't worthy.
Anyway, if anyone reads all this ranting... thanks for listening and hopefully responding. 
Thanks to all you GMs who were kind enough to introduce yourselves to us.

I am optimistically awaiting the release of Heros Journey to see if any mmorpg can get me back to the feeling of DragonRealms. I do truly miss the community feeling in the games I have been playing over the last few years since my departure from DR.
At this point I dont care to have the best armor, or be in the most uber guild. I just want good quality game play that I can come home to every night and lose myself in for a time.
So Im along for the ride, however long it will take. Dont let me down Simu, Im counting on you!
