other content developers who are responsible for creating and
maintaining the game, and for making decisions as to the directions the
game's storyline and theme will advance. Generally, wizards are hired
from the most experienced players at periods between six months and two
years, as new staff are determined to be needed.
 
 
==Ranks==
The wizardry can be divided roughly into four tiers.
 
 
===Inactive wizards===
The lowest level of wizards, inactives are staff members who are on
hiatus or have not been able to log in for an extended period of time.
Inactive wizards have had most of their powers removed, though they are
returned when the wizard returns to active status. Should a wizard  
remain inactive for longer than a year, they are likely to have their
account deleted.<br>
<br>
 
===Apprentices===
Apprentices are active, but are wizards-in-training and have not yet
earned full wizard status. Typically they operate with a subset of full
wizard powers for the duration of their apprenticeship period. After
successfully completing a major project, they will be upgraded to full,
active wizard status at the discretion of their mentor and the
administration. To limit distractions from the general playerbase,  
apprentice wizards are generally always invisible, and not listed in
'who wiz'.<br>
<br>
 
===Builders===
Builders are special coders with no access to the live game and build areas in a special environment. The work done by builders is heavily reviewed and scrutinized to Astaria's standards before their code is placed into the live game.<br>
<br>
 
===Wizards===
The majority of staff members hold the rank of wizard, subdivided into
four levels. These are the people who write the bulk of the code and
perform the day-to-day routine tasks of building and maintaining the
MUD.<br>
<br>
 
===Administrators===
While technically also considered to be wizards, administrators have an
additional responsibility in the maintenance of the MUD's physical
hardware, in directing the coding projects and efforts of other wizards,
in selecting and training new apprentices, in deciding upon the rules
of conduct governing the players of the game, and other such tasks
relating to operating the MUD.<br>

Revision as of 05:18, 10 March 2016

Cylis joined the Astarian Wizardry in the early months of 2010. As a wizard in his probation period, his mentor was Kalder. The project he had selected to prove his worth as a wizard was to completly rewrite the seriously broken kill quest system of the game. Kill quests are now one of the most used features in the game as they provide a quick avenue for leveling. As a full wizard, his first real project was the weather. That's right. When most people talk about the weather but do nothing, Cylis actually did something about it. Cylis' skill with LPC saw him rise through the ranks of the Wizardry and he is now a member of Astaria's Administration. Though he spends most of his time with bug fixes, he always has time to assist another wizard with a problem or help the players, if he's able.
