Overview

An Event Moderator is a paid employee of EA. Their job is to run in-game events (see EM Events), similar to those run by unpaid volunteers called Seers many years prior.

History

The EM program was introduced in August 2003 to replace the volunteer program following the release of the Age of Shadows. The first EM events revolved around the return of the villain Minax. Typically, an EM had at least 2 in-game personae. One was him- or her-self. The other was a character, typically part of the Ruling Council. For example, Lake Superior's EM was Glamdring, and he appeared in-character as Thomas Winters, Prime Minister of the Realm and Commander of the Royal Guard. This first iteration of the program eventually waned and was discontinued by EA in February 2004. Based on statements made by players, the quality of the EMs, like the quality of their events, varied widely.

On many Shards, the legacy of unfinished EM events, personified by things like burning docks at Trinsic and monster spawns in unusual places, remains.

However, some years later in October 2008, Cal Crowner announced on UO.com that the Event Moderator program would be returning for Stygian Abyss. This was shortly followed a week later with a call for applications which included both a writing sample and event sample as part of the application process. The finalized list of EM's for the beginning of the second iteration of the EM program was announced mid-December 2008.
