In that time it has constantly grown and developed, mainly through the contributions of the players who have volunteered their time and energy to making Barren Realms a better place. One of the ways that players like you can help to add to the Barren Realms experience is by building an area. Anyone can create an area. You don’t need any programming experience of any special tools. All that it takes is a little creativity, dedication, and drive. This guide is designed to help anyone who wishes to write and area for the mud. It is primarily intended to help someone who wants to use a text editor to create their area file, as opposed to one of the off-line building programs available on the internet. (Barren Realms does not offer on-line building and there are no plans to add this feature.) Even if you are planning to use something other than a text editor to build your area, you should read through this guide, as there is plenty of good information contained herein that can be applied to all builders.
