Always create a unique name and description for your key and give hints in the

A good practice is to ensure keys load more than one instance since key storage
in a house is no different from a character always idling with keys to hoard
them. Single instance keys are a bad idea since if a player dies behind a door
with the only key in their corpse they have no way to get back. Also, keys
should always be the first dependent object loaded to a mob so they don't rely
on other equipment loading to the mob prior to it.

The harsh truth is that good MUDs do not need to advertise and as a minimum
will usually require new builders to complete a zone or equivalent proof that
you are a good builder. If someone says they just started a MUD and need good
builders be warned most MUDs fail and there is a good chance you will lose
work. It happens to all builders eventually. Never build on a MUD unless they
make backups and will give you a copy of your work whenever you request it.

The Builder Academy
Code Base: [tbaMUD] the latest version
Site: tbamud.com 9091 [195.234.11.64]
Admin Email: rumble@@tbamud.com
Admin Email: rumble@tbamud.com
Theme: Teaching Builders and tbaMUD Codebase Development
http://www.tbamud.com/
telnet://tbamud.com:9091
Since 2000 The Builder Academy has been training new builders and developing
the CircleMUD codebase, Oasis OLC, and trigedit. After years of stock
CircleMUD stagnation TBA offered to take over stock CircleMUD development
several times. TBA unofficially released CircleMUD 3.5 in 2006 and later
released the codebase under the name tbaMUD. TbaMUD is holding true to the
original CircleMUD vision with a few additions. The largest difference is the
inclusion of Oasis OLC, trigedit, in-depth tutorials, help files, and examples.
TBA will continue development and is always open to feedback and
recommendations from the MUDding community. TBA is foremost a MUDding resource
with the goal of improving the MUDding community.
The Builder Acamady (TBA) was created in October of 2000 on the MUD Cruel World. It began with a combination of my own MUDding experience and the work of numerous others from the MUDding community into an extensive tutorial zone, help files, and examples.
We are happy to announce the release of the tbaMUD codebase
formerly known as CircleMUD. If you are interested in a mature
and stable codebase with dedicated staff and support please check
us out.
TBA now has two main missions. It originally was meant to be a training MUD open to anyone willing to learn or teach how to create your own text-based World. 1,000's of builder's have gone through our training and many MUDs require new builders to complete training at TBA before they can apply to their MUD. TBA's other mission is the development of the codebase formerly known as CircleMUD. Due to CircleMUD's stagnation TBA staff decided to release our codebase under the name tbaMUD and we have been updating it tirelessly for over 10 years.

TBA is a low stress, no deadline, training environment where anyone with motivation can work at their own pace to learn as much or as little as they wish. Numerous people are available to answer questions and give advice.
The tbaMUD vision:
TbaMUD's vision is to provide the MUDding community a stable and
functional codebase that includes an in-depth World and help files
that makes it ready to be molded into a custom MUD by its coders and
builders. We also provide multiple resources to allow for feedback,
contribution, and the sharing of ideas within the MUDding community
to ensure constant development and improvements.
TbaMUD is highly developed from the programming side, but highly
UNdeveloped on the game-playing side. So, if you're looking for a
huge MUD with billions of spells, skills, classes, and races, tbaMUD
will disappoint you. TbaMUD still has only the 4 original Diku
classes, the original spells, and the original skills. On the other
hand, if you're looking for a highly stable, developed, organized,
and well documented "blank slate" MUD on which you can put your OWN
ideas for spells, skills, and classes, then tbaMUD is what what you
are looking for.
1000's of builders served and counting.
TBA's Vision:
The most challenging aspect of running a mud is finding good
builders. You will hear this from the admin of every MUD that has
ever been. In the past it has always been up to each individual MUD
to find and attempt to train their own builders. This works, but I
think the MUDding community can come up with something better. That
is why I created The Builder Academy.
TBA has been open to anyone interested in learning or teaching how
to build using Oasis OLC with dg scripts since 2000. TBA is now being
used to develop the tbaMUD codebase (formerly known as CircleMUD).
TBA has trained thousands of builders and has an extensive
tutorial and help file system. No pressure, no deadline, just come
learn, teach, or help develop tbaMUD. Give back to the community we
have all taken so much from. TBA is a MUDding resource. Please take
advantage of it so we can improve all of the MUDding community.
TBA is a low stress, no deadline, training environment. Where
anyone with motivation can work at their own pace to learn as much or
as little as they wish. Numerous people are available to answer
questions and give advice. 1000's of builders served and counting.
TBA can even be used by other MUDs as a builder's port. Just send
us your newbie builders. We will teach them and then you can have
them back with the zones they build.

TBA was created in 2000 on Cruel World which was being run by Zemial and Welcor.
I began combining my own experience with the work of others into an extensive
tutorial zone, help files, and examples. Welcor and I ended up separating TBA
from Cruel World to further enhance our training of new builders. Welcor has
taken over the development of Trigedit and has contributed extensively to what
has now evolved into the tbaMUD release.
TBA can also be used by other MUDs as a builder's port. Just send us your newbie builders. We will teach them and then you can have them back with the zones they built.
After offering several times to take over CircleMUD development TBA released
CircleMUD 3.5 and later changed the codebase name to tbaMUD. TBA now has many
purposes including: Developing trigedit, OLC, the tbaMUD codebase, and all the
zones.
We are always open to anyone willing to learn or help teach so we can continue to improve the tbaMUD codebase.
