As a builder, you are important because...

Builders, critical members of the world building team.
Without the work of builders to form and shape the world, we'd have
little more than glorified chatrooms with excess code. The areas
that make a world feel real, that make the experience so
immersive, and enjoyable, these are a builder's task to create.
Immersion is the grail of the builder, and the players reap the
benefits.
Building is about more than putting together a group
of rooms, or slapping some graphics about, or at least it should
be. Building is about creating immersive, believable areas that
make logical sense, and mesh with the flow of the world. It requires
research, and careful balancing. To build
a better world, we need realism. Not in the form of our reality,
but simply so that the world makes sense.

Resources for those of you who build virtual worlds - adding new
content, creating the believability, adding immersion, and possibilities,
bringing the world to life, we offer a wide selection of resources,
and other assistance.
- Tutorials on building - General advice, and specific examples
on how to build well, and pitfalls to be avoided, whatever you
do.

We also have an impressive array of resources taken from all industries,
from all corners of our world, for you to use to create immersion,
and believability in your own.
Such resources include:
- Information on real-world geographical, and geological locations,
events, and formations, for use in creating more realistic worlds,
impressive items, and demonstrating some unlikely possibilities
from our reality, which you may not have considered yourself.
- Mythological resources on as many mythological / theological
creatures as we can find, detailing such specifics as extrapolated
mating habits, lifestyles, suspected anatomy, and any other details
we can give to allow creation, and easy replication of these wonderous
beings.
- Information on many varied professions; not just the standard
classes, but other activities from the past and present, which
might be overlooked in the bustle to create a realistic world.
Many of these jobs and callings would make a sine addition to
the class-listings of your world.
- Information on map-making, and example maps to help you, see
what medieval, Neolithic, and other maps from history looked like
- create better maps to suit your time-frame / level of technology,
or map your own world, simply, and incredibly efficiently.
- Ancient, and contemporary weaponry - certainly not how it works
- but how it was used, sketches and drawings to assist in their
recreation in virtual worlds, and information on their use, and
misuse.
