Mystic Adventure would like to expand by adding new ORIGINAL areas to the mud.
Before you begin, please read as much of the building documentation on this site as possible. Especially, read What to Expect, the Area Submission Policy, and the Area Building introduction.
After knowing what's involved, if you wish to proceed, please write a detailed proposal on board 4 to imms. This proposal must include:
- The theme of your area. (This is the meat of the proposal)
- The approximate number of rooms you would like.
- Any previous experience building you have. (This is not critical)
- The level range of the area.
- A sample description of a room. (Or point us to a room you've already written)
Imms and current builders make excellent sounding boards for your ideas. Someone who has built an area or two can help you to narrow your focus into a much easier task.
The granting of your builder character depends greatly upon this proposal, so please give it the care you would give the area itself. Every area on Mystic has been through many rounds of balancing and proofreading, and new areas are held to that same standard. Think your idea through fully, read your proposal over more than once, and check your spelling and grammar before you post it. Your sample room description deserves the most care of all, since it shows us how your area will read to players. A proposal with spelling or grammar mistakes, or one that leaves the details for the immortals to work out, will not be accepted. This isn't meant to be harsh. The care you put into your proposal is the best sign of the care you'll put into your area.
