World Of Warcraft Single Player Server GM Commands

If you've followed my WoW Single Player Server Quick Start Guide, you have a working local single player server running. You may have also read the Advanced Settings Guide and the Bot Control Guide to get a much better single player experience. These settings provide a nice way to play the game, more or less, as intended.

If you are more interested in using the server as a test-bed for builds and strategies, or to simply explore and really want to cheat the game, you need to create a Game Master account. This lets you do anything you want. You can give gold and items to any character in the game, set them to any level, teleport to any location, reset talent points, learn every spell and more.

In this guide, I will show you how to create a GM account and go over the most useful commands that you can use with it.

GM Account

With the server running, you can easily create a new GM account, or make an existing account a GM account by running these commands in the mangos.exe window:

When you login as a GM account, either newly created or an upgraded existing account, you won't notice anything different. There's no special UI, you won't be on GM Island or anything like that. Having a GM account simply lets you use a whole new set of chat commands to, basically, do anything you want in the game world.

You can absolutely play the game as normal with a GM account, though it will be extremely tempting to cheat all the time with the GM commands available. This is why I recommend creating a dedicated GM account separated from your playable characters, so it's not quite so easy to cheat all the time.

GM Commands

When you login with the GM account, you will have access to a whole new set of chat commands. Many of these commands aren't really useful for a single player server (things like banning players), so I'm only going to show the useful commands as they relate to the single player server experience.

You can find the full command reference here.

GM

These GM commands give you access to everything in the game at a moment's notice. If you really are wanting to play the game as intended, you have to resist the urge to use these too much. It's the ultimate cheat code system and can quickly trivialize the game.
