I waited for three hours, and no gm, was online.

Any problems with the current gms?

The only problem is that I have a full time job, family, and other interests too :wink:

Other than that - nothing!

Tiana Sorry, I know that gms has his life (can not always be online)

But today I had planned something special.

First time I see no gm off so long.

I hope you understand.

GMs are unpaid volunteers. You can't expect to have a GM online 24/7 in a non-commercial game.

But when there aren't any GMs online and you need an announcement I would recommend you to ask on our IRC channels. A lot of developers can do announcements but are rarely in the game. It is quite likely to catch one on IRC at any time of the day.

Another precaution when you are planning something important is to tell the game masters several days in advance (again, irc can be useful here). That way they can make sure that someone is online at that date to help you.

Very good suggestion Crush in regards to IRC. Thank you :)

I usually hang out on the #tmw-support and #themanaworld channels when online.

Yeah. Believe it or not, some people don't devote their lives to TMW.
Except for my friend Triggs.
