Description
The BUILD command allows the Adventurer to create their own domicile, clanhall, or clan alliance hall from the ground up. These locations can usually be RECALLed to (the Adventurer is teleported there) by using the RECALL command.
The building created using the BUILD command can be a reflection of the Adventurer's taste and style, or it can be an exploration of something the Adventurer has always wanted to see in the world of Alyria.
Building is commenced through the use of Building Points. Building Points are a way of condensing the magic, materials, and time required to build a home, add rooms, change room configurations, etc., down to a simple unit.
Building Points can be obtained as rewards for certain quests or discoveries within the Alyrian realm. Vouchers that grant Building Points can be purchased through the use of Reward Units from the Van Pelt emporiums. These Vouchers can also be traded between Adventurers for other in-game items.
Lots and homes that are available for sale will show up in the room description as "Available Construction Lots/Homes" and the direction in which the lot or home lies from the current room. Lots will also appear as a green dollar sign in the room description compass, if it is displayed. You can find out information as to what homes/lots are available in your current location by typing BUILD INFO LOT.
All homes are subject to review and editing or edit suggestions by the Immortals, for appropriate content, language, and so forth. When building your home please be courteous to your fellow players in your description choice.
Build Definitions
Directions Where is mentioned in the syntax information to follow, direction can be any one of the cardinal or ordinal directions, as well as "up" or "down".
Use of Quotes or Apostrophes for Multi-Word Phrases/Arguments
When specifying room names, home titles, passphrases, or any argument that has spaces in it, you need to enclose it in quotes. If the argument itself has a quote or apostrophe in it, you need to enclose it in quotes or apostrophes other than the ones used in the argument. If the argument is just one word and has no spaces or apostrophes or quotes, you do not need to enclose it in quotes.
A few examples: build set home title "Snordly's Audience Hall" build set home title Daggerdeaux build set room name 'The "Fearsome Antechamber" of Lilacs' build set door openpassphrase east 'is a nod as good as a wink' build set home title 'This Home Title Has Spaces'
Home Titles
Home titles are shown when you enter the home, as well as in your RECALL information. They are cosmetic and should reflect the nature of your home, e.g., "Snordly's Audience Hall", "Flork's Dilapidated Hut". Home titles cannot contain color codes or most punctuation, and must be from 3 to 60 characters long.
Room Labels
Room labels are used to distinguish between different rooms in the home. They must be 2 - 25 characters long, cannot contain spaces or most punctuation (although underscores and dashes are fine, as long as the label does not start with an underscore). Room labels are not shown to anyone but the owner of the home, and are used for room reference purposes only.
Room Names
Room names must be from 2 to 55 characters long, cannot contain color codes, cannot contain inappropriate language, and cannot contain many unusual punctuation characters.
