Metin2 GameMaster (GM) Commands: Complete Reference
A GameMaster account on a Metin2 private server has dozens of slash-prefixed commands that let an admin spawn items, polymorph into mobs, teleport players, declare guild wars, manage event flags, and run the server. This is the complete reference: every common command grouped by category, with the exact syntax and what it does. Aliases and pserver-specific variants are noted where they exist.
Permission Levels
The vanilla Metin2 source defines six GM permission tiers. Most commands below require at least LOW; spawning items, kicking players and editing flags require HIGH or GOD; raw debugging requires IMPLEMENTOR.
- PLAYER (0) - regular account
- LOW_WIZARD (1) - basic GM
- WIZARD (2) - mid-tier GM
- HIGH_WIZARD (3) - senior GM
- GOD (4) - server admin
- IMPLEMENTOR (5) - reload, flush, raw debugging

GM Commands FAQ
How do I get GM access on a Metin2 private server?
The server admin sets your player.gm_level in the database (or via a server-side promotion command). You cannot grant yourself GM. On pservers you typically reach a GM account by being whitelisted by the owner or by running your own server build.
Why doesn't my /i <name> command work?
Item-by-name spawning needs an exact match against the server's locale name. If the locale string contains spaces, special characters, or the server uses non-EN item names, falling back to /i <vnum> is more reliable.
What's the difference between /warp and /go?
/warp uses GLOBAL coordinates (cross-map) or a player name as the target. /go uses LOCAL coordinates on the map you are currently standing on. Mixing them is the most common GM mistake.
What does /reload q do?
Reloads the quest scripts (.quest files) without restarting the server. Essential for live quest development. The other reload flags hot-reload proto files, settings, mob protos, fishing data, cube recipes, and blend tables.
Are GM commands logged?
On vanilla builds, GM actions hit the log_db table (gm-command log). Most private servers leave this enabled. Use /detaillog to toggle on-screen logging for combat and aggro debugging.
Can a player see when I'm invisible?
Only another GM at equal or higher level can see you when /inv is active. Regular players, mobs and NPCs treat you as not present.
What's the difference between /priv_empire and /priv_guild?
/priv_empire applies the bonus to every member of an empire. /priv_guild applies it only to a specific guild ID. Both use the same type codes: 1 = drop, 2 = yang, 3 = yang drop, 4 = exp.
Why do some commands not work on my server?
Two reasons. First, your GM level may be below the command's required permission tier. Second, the command may not exist in your server build. Many pservers strip, rename, or replace handlers in cmd.cpp. The most-modified groups are bans, finds, weather, and per-player privileges.
