Mortal Builders!

After many years, I am once again looking for mortal builders!
The mortal building program is all about writing. It is heavily focussed on helping to develop new areas, revising and improving existing areas in Achaea, and contributing written work on a variety of projects. This can include anything from room descriptions, denizen descriptions, quest items, attacks, atmospheric effects, or anything in between. Still interested? Read HELP MORTAL BUILDERS for even more details about the program.
We are looking for players who are:
- Experienced and knowledgeable about the game world
- Excellent and creative writers
- Self-starters
- Reliable, disciplined, and able to meet deadlines
- Passionate about making Achaea the BEST immersive experience possible!
To apply, send a plain-text email to me (ictinus@achaea.com) with:
- Your real name and age, character name(s), and relevant writing experience (whether in Achaea, another MUD, or otherwise).
- A few sentences on why you would be a great builder.
- A short critique of an existing area in the game. What is good about it? What is lacking? How would you change it to improve it for other players?
- Two flawless room descriptions that would fit well within the area you critiqued (see HELP STYLE for what we expect).
- Descriptions for a denizen who might be found in either of those rooms (see HELP STYLE for this part as well).
All volunteer contributors to Achaea are required to sign a non-disclosure agreement, so you must be 18 years old (in real life) to apply.
Applications will be accepted until 23:59 GMT Monday, March 3rd. You will receive a reply when we have finished considering all applications!
If you have any questions about the program, please feel free to send me a message directly!
Penned by My hand on the 12th of Ero, in the year 969 AF.
