It depends on the position on weather or not you would need to relocate. Most GMs and Forum Mods can do their job remotely. I know of some of the previous Mods(the 20%) worked remotely. However I would worry more not about relocating but of job security. CCP seems to have a high turn over rate on their employees.

Removed some off topic posts and borderline comments on real world affairs, and moved the thread to OOPE but if you are interested in working for CCP I could definitely recommend applying as a Game Master. It's a good job with plenty of possibilities to evolve. Moving is not for everyone of course, but we're good hosts to new people :). The EVE GM team has a really low staff turnover rate. Crazy low compared to most customer support jobs. Most people who do decide to leave go to other positions in the company. Let me know if you have any questions.

That's the drummer from the Permaband. The constant practice is the reason why he's so good at what he does.

I see that the game master position is slated for Shanghai, China and not Iceland. I take it that this will be for support on Serenity rather than tranquility? Also would it be possible to remote or is GM strictly a cubicle jockey position?

Ahh. If a position is in Shanghai it's usually tailored to fluent Chinese speakers with English as a second language. Most of the support for Tranquility is done from Iceland and Atlanta.

The only GMs that get to work remotely are trusted veterans who've worked in one of our offices for a long time and move away to go to school or something like that. Typically only a couple of GMs are remote at any given time.

P.s. We have open work spaces, no cubicles ;)

Probably not much and no.

I was wondering about this also.

If i would go for a job at CCP (wich is cool **** offcourse), i would have to move my family to Iceland or somewhere else.

I don't know if I would be able to handle that, I've grown rather attached to my box. And when I say my box I mean its one that I don't have to share with a coworker unlike most of the unfortunates in the main area. And what would I do without my roof constructed of the finest cardboard box lids?
Your open floor plans kind of leads to the impression that I may actually have to involuntarily interact with my coworkers which unless its work related is not really a strong point of mine.

which, while awesome, it's ******* scary too.

while I do know that it isn't true, if one day I go to australia, I expect to be greeted by the customs officers with a token gift of every known poison antidote known to man on arrival, and a simple manual explaining that if you see even a single ant, you're expected to scream out loud and call the army ASAP to deal with the threat.

i got this response when applying to eve community representative....


Thank you for sending in your application for the Eve Community Representative position at CCP. We very much appreciate your interest in the position and our company. Unfortunately we are not able to offer you a position at the moment. This may be because the position has already been filled, because your resume does not meet all of the requirements for the position or because we have several other resumes with more applicable experience.

We however encourage you to keep checking back with our website for any future vacancies which may interest you. We will also keep your application on file for the next 6 months should any opportunity arise which fits with your experience and qualifications.

Kind regards,

CCP


with the requirements being....

Must be fluent in English, both written and verbal. A second language, particularly German or Russian, a plus.
Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal.
Ideally one year previous experience with gaming communities and forum moderation.
Familiarity with massively multiplayer online games, particularly EVE Online.

.....then anyone over 18 should qualify. or rather any 12 year old, but i believe you have to be over 18. the job is still posted , so hopefully the reason is someone else is better qualified. will be done with a computer science degree soon and i am obviously an eve player, so i am pretty sure that would meet the requirements. too bad, just thought working at ccp would fit nicely with how much i like eve. but then i guess thats me and like 40,000 other people
