A builder is a term usually used to describe a person who designs MUD zones for other characters to explore. Any player with motivation, ideas, and good writing style can be a builder as well as a player. As a Builder, your job is to create the virtual world in which players can roam around, solve puzzles, find treasures, and gain experience. A Builder creates the rooms, objects, mobs, shops, and triggers with which players will interact. If this is something you are interested in doing then you have come to the right place. Be warned, building is not easy and will require hard work, patience, and the ability to take constructive criticism.

Your first task is to apply for builder status:

When you finish and submit the application tell anyone level 32 or higher and they will advance you to begin your training.

During your initial training you will be able to edit a single trial Vnum. HELP VIRTUAL-NUMBER As you learn the different building commands feel free to goto <your Vnum> and test them out. Your Vnum (look at your title to see what Vnum you were assigned) includes your trial room/mob/object. For example, if your title says: Rumble has trial Vnum 13900, this means I will make one room, one mob, and one object by editing that Vnum (i.e. redit 13900). Both the mob and object must load in the room through zedit. Do not make a shop or trigger with your Vnum, those are more advanced and should only be attempted when the first four forms of OLC are well understood. Your Trial Vnum must have your name in the room title.

This one Vnum is your chance to show off your building abilities. Every builder makes one room/mob/obj here. It is also a chance for you to learn and improve your building before being assigned a zone. Be creative. Make something impressive and unique, not another "Ultimate Weapon" or "invincible mob" with every affection and stat possible. They have already been made and impress nobody. By monitoring this one trial Vnum the trainers can catch most of your mistakes and prevent you from repeating them throughout an entire zone. Once you finish your one room/mob/obj you must have it checked for any errors. Ask anyone level 32 or above to do this for you. Once all errors are corrected and you have proven you know the basics of building you can submit a zone proposal. HELP PROPOSAL for more information. Once your proposal is approved you will be assigned your own zone, consisting of 100 Vnum's. If you have not been assigned a Vnum or zone please be patient and mudmail Rumble. Once you are assigned either of these do not remove them from your title. Your title should always have your trial vnum or your zone somewhere in it
