If you want to build for Mystic we have a builder site available to mortals. To apply for building one must have a well thought out idea as to what they want to build. Something specific.. Not just "something about the ancient aztecs". It should be a well thought out idea, with a general number of rooms, level range and thoughts as to where the area would fit into the mud. If it is your first area it is suggested no more than 100 rooms. Building an area is a lot of WORK, and first time builders may get burned out quickly if they take on more than that.
Keep in mind we try hard to keep the general theme to medieval fantasy. Don't plan a shopping mall, or the nike superstore. Or the marine's barracks.. Complete with a set of glocks and brownings and other assorted guns :)
Try to be as creative as possible. If you are using an idea from your favorite authors works, please be aware some authors expressly FORBID the use of their works in muds. Mercedes Lackey is one I know for certain is against it. Check the author's website or FAQ, or ask an immortal.
Builders can always get copies of the areas they make but we like to keep Mystic Adventure unique, and this means that areas can not be given to other muds as well. For more information on this, read the Area Submission Policy.
If you are building an area on the builder site with someone else you are fully responsible for what happens to the area. This means that if your partner makes changes to the area that you do not like, then you have to solve it. If we hear there are problems with an area on builder site, we will simply remove the problem by removing the area.
The builder site may have a limited amount of players online, but all rules that apply to the mud are also valid on the builder site. No foul language on channels etc.
For more questions and/or information on building, send a note or tell to an immortal.
