Malevolent Gaming · Staff RecruitmentHelp run a world
Our servers are built and kept alive by players who wanted them to exist. No account needed — pick a role, send the form with your Discord name, and it reaches the team straight away.
Where you would work
Six teams: the network itself, and one behind each world. Pick the one you already play — knowing the game and its players counts for a lot here.
Network-wide roles: moderation, development, community and operations across every game we run.
Star Wars GalaxiesAncient EmpireOur SWG server: an Old Republic-era story and custom systems built on the NGE codebase.
World of WarcraftWarcraft MultiverseSix realms, from Classic+ through Lich King+ to hardcore and full-loot PvP.
City of HeroesUprisingParagon City rebuilt with custom mechanics, system code and database work.
EverQuestPlanes of MalevolenceClassic Norrath with modern progression — and the planes bleeding through it.
Legends of AriaMalevolent EternalThe full-loot sandbox shard, built on the Shards engine with the Eternal mod.
Seven ways to help run this
Not every seat is a coding seat. These are the role types we recruit for; the board below shows which of them are open, and for which game.
Guides the core code and content effort for a game, working alongside a small team of developers on custom server mechanics, system code and database features, following the project roadmap.
Code, content and world-building. You work directly with the project lead to maintain the server, fix bugs and build the custom features the project is known for.
Brings the visual vision to life: art, 3D models, UI elements and graphical assets that give the project its own identity.
Drives player recruitment, champions community health, and acts as the primary voice connecting the player base with the development team.
Keeps in-game chat and the Discord channels friendly, welcoming and helpful — answering questions, assisting newcomers and enforcing the guidelines fairly.
Hands-on early access to current and upcoming builds. Test mechanics, hunt down bugs, answer feature polls and feed it back to the developers before the code hits live players.
A network-wide seat: lead recruitment, oversee community health and champion player engagement across the whole gaming network.
Four steps, no account
Open any card below for the full description — what the role covers, how much time it asks for and how many seats are open.
Your name and your Discord username are all we need. An email address is optional, and you do not need a Malevolent Gaming account.
The team is notified the moment you hit send, by email and in our own Discord. Leave an email address and you get a confirmation with your reference number.
If it looks like a fit we reach out on Discord for a chat. From there it is access, tools and your first tasks.
What we look for
- You play here. Staff who know the server and its players make better calls than staff who do not.
- You turn up. Small, steady effort beats a burst of it. Tell us honestly what time you have.
- You talk. Nearly everything happens in Discord — saying "I am stuck" early is a feature, not a fault.
- You are decent to people. Every role here is player-facing in some way.
Experience helps, but it is not a gate. Tell us what you have done and what you want to learn.
