Game Master Interview: Raizei

Tell us something about yourself, like how old are you? 

I am 23 years old, probably the 2^nd or 3^rd youngest in the company :).

Well what CAN you tell us about yourself?

Well, I certainly love video games and everything that is related to video games. It’s one of the main reasons I became a GM. Working in the video game industry has always been a part of my dream.

What does a typical GM day for you look like? 
A typical day for me is solving problems for many players through emails. I would rather do it personally in game but there are always too many emails. 

What do you like about being a GM and how long have you done it for? 
I’ve been a GM for almost a year now and I really love the job.  What I like about being a GM is being able to help users with any problems they have. It is the most rewarding part to see our players smile after I’ve helped them with their issue(s). 

If you could be any Pokemon which would you be and why? 

Hands down, I would have to choose Ludicolo. This pokemon is carefree, loves music, and loves to PARTY! 

If you could be any flavor of flying sandwich which would you be and why?

I would have to choose a Tuna Sub with extra jalapenos from Subway. Not only would it be awesome to ride a clock bike sized Tuna Sub with jalapenos falling from the end of the sandwich, it is my favorite sandwich to get at Subway’s and it is very delicious.

What is your favorite part about working with the other GMs?

I think my favorite part is that we all have really good chemistry. We work so well together and they all have such a great sense of humor. We like to joke around and just have fun. They are simply the best!

Do you ever take GM trips/parties/events together?

Occasionally, if any of us are free on the weekends, I like to call them up to see if they are free to hang out. I love to hang out and enjoy the company of good friends. The last major event that we had done together was the Flyff 15 challenge in honor of version 15. The Flyff 15 challenge was to choose any food or drink and eat/drink 15 of the same thing. It was definitely a challenge for everyone haha!

Which server did you have the most fun on?

I don’t really have a particular server that I like to hang out on. I like to have a great time on each server whenever I get the chance to log in and hang out with the players.

Why do you help TurBo steal all the hamsters?

TurBo only has so many pockets lol! Besides, I like the idea of the hamsters getting some recreation time since they are overworked.

Have you ever played Flyff before actually becoming a GM?

I’ve actually played Flyff before a long time ago when one of my friends told me about it. I remember logging into the game and feeling overwhelmed by the private shops, spamming, and shouts. I didn’t get too far and I rage-quit. LOL

Where did your GM name come from? Or was it just given to you?

I actually had a pretty tough time picking a name. I wanted a name that was original and sounded cool. After using about 10 name generators, I mashed up 3 names that I saw and liked. I’m very happy with my GM name!

What's the funniest thing the GM's have done to you or another GM in the office or outside of it?

The funniest thing that has happened in the office was when I accidently shot a CM from another team with one of my many Nerf guns. I was sitting on my chair and I had my gun pointed behind me (loaded) while looking at my computer monitors. Polynikes told me to just shoot the gun and I did just that. A second after I shot the gun, I heard a big “OWWW!!!” from across the office. I hit the CM on the back of the head. I felt really embarrassed and apologized to the CM. The CM was fine and even laughed about it. It was surely embarrassing but the other employees thought it was really funny.

What is your Favorite event since you joined the GM crew??

I don’t really have a specific event that I like. I like any events that require our presence because we get to hang out with players, talk, and just have fun!

Do you wear as fancy suits in real life as you do in game?

Not as fancy but I like to dress nice in certain occasions.  Other than that I like to wear shirts with tuxedo or formal designs.  It’s dressing comfortable and keeping it classy at the same time.

What are your thoughts about giving GMs more power?

More of something isn’t always as good. As long as I have the power to help users with anything they need, I don’t need anything else :).

What are you thoughts about giving the community more sayings in updates, so that they can be satisfied on a greater scale?

I believe that our users should have a bit more of say in terms of what needs to be updated or fixed.  I also truly believe that some of our users also have great suggestions and great ideas that will help improve the experience players get when playing Flyff.

Do you have any bad habits? If so, what are they?

[I Have a Potty Mouth]

Have you ever had the compulsion, and followed through with it to make a low level nub and be a noobish troll just for fun?

I don’t need to create a low level character to be a noobish troll LOL.

What is the most annoying thing players have done in the game?

The most annoying thing some players have done is ask me if I am a GM, say how cool it is, and then ask me for penya. O_O

You have a nice smiley Bear suit in the forum Where did you get it?

It’s actually a bear from the cartoon Harvey Birdman. The bear shows up at random times, starts clapping its paws, and has a big smile. Novalis created my sig for me and I love it.

Did you sign up to answer random questions from players or did you get dragged into this by MaxPang?

I was dragged into this kicking and screaming LOL.
