I went to Gamestop today and I kinda had in mind that I wanted to pre order the MMO Aion but was not sure how much it was or what I would get. Well, when I asked about it I was suprised to learn that It is only five dollars to pre order it and I can pay anytime from now till when it comes out. I ordered the special edition which is about 60.00 and comes with special adds like better flight time, in game ring, and first month payed. Not half bad I must say.

On another note, they where hiring there and they said they needed a GM... wow, a Game Master. Prestigious title if you ask me, but I wanted the job. Unfortuantly, my parents said no to that... too bad. I work at a grocery store anyway so it's fine.

Ha! That's funny. Seriously though... it was kinda meant more for helping people make a decision on what they could do and just a little info on extras for those who didnt know. The last part was sorta just to say for fun.

I'm with ya.  I spent pre-order money on WoW and enjoyed it for 6 months until its raid and same-situation pve and pvp redundency caught up with me, and did so with others that had anywhere from a 3-month to 6-month shelf-life.

 

About the same entertainment dollar I spend on a dinner or movie for a certain period of time, and probably a better entertainment investment for the time.

 

With the shaper and improved integrated features and breadth and depth of new and improved pve and integreated pvp content compared to other titles, why not, i suppose.

Wait, I'm confused, Gamestop was hiring GMs for Aion?

I think you would make an excellent GM. Shame about the grocery store otherwise you could apply for it. If you were Game Master you would be able to make fair decisions and good judgements about in game conflicts and tensions.

im thinknig they meant general manager as well, though from my experience when i worked at gamestop the top manager at a store was referered to as a store manager *shrug* either way. got my CE pre ordered as well.

correction though its not because u got the CE that u get a month of game time included. i think almost every mmo that comes out that is p2p comes with the first 30 days free. i havent seen one yet that doesnt

I think general manager manges the region, not just that one store.

That would probably be a regional manager.

I think that it goes something like this:

Assistant Manager
Store Manager
District Manager
Regional Manager (although I think that once you get to a region level, the title changes to president)

Though it might be different from company to company.

if i recall correctly u had ur basic game advisors(standard employee) then 3rd key, assistant , and store manager , then whatever else is above them region wise i think.  3rd keys were also an assistant mgr of sorts.
