MUD Builders and Areas

thebigirish · 03-17-2013, 01:40 PM

Very new mud, SmaugFUSS/Custom codebase. We currently have a very advanced coder, who spends alot of time, every single day coding for us. He's also the owner. I'm a part time coder, and a senior/head builder. Currently, our coder/owner is just finishing up the new, awesome, fight system. He's done it in about.... 2 weeks, along with lots of other things along the way. We've started from scratch with the areas, but we're coming along -fast- with just me building right now(pretty much). We have our main city, 4 road areas off of it, a graveyard, crypt, 2 huge forests, a large tree area(with 8 levels, inside of it), and foothills leading off of it. I've also made a -very- detailed map(s) for us!

We're looking for a few faithful builders who want to stick with us, and help us grow. You can currently pretty much pick any theme/level for your area, and place. We're a dedicated team, even if we are small right now. Only one way to get a bigger team, so come on over and check us out! swpk.net 6500! My names in game are Irish(coder/builder), or Citizen(2nd builder). If I'm afk, or not online email me at , or text me at (+)1 (289) 335-4903. Make sure to include a brief description of who you are, and whats up!

I just wanted to quickly add, that we also use a very cool coordinate system, to allow us to do alot of other powerful things with our areas. Like realms, for one. We also, have more to our building system already, than your basic Smaugs. We're working on becoming entirely unique. Oh, and I feel its important to add, that we do not support race selection. All players are human.
