Frequently Asked Questions
From Crossroads Wiki
General
What is the theme of Crossroads MUSH?
Characters interact in a world shaped by Ancient History as well as more recent events. In sum, Gateway is the center of five isles which each tend to have specialties: warriors from one, farmers from another, drugs and herbs from a third, and magic from a fourth. The nature of each isle's specialties requires cooperation to maintain the safe continuation of the Empire, and protection from demons which threaten to enslave humanity.
Can you describe the nature of play here in a sentence or two?
It's a fantasy game with an original theme that offers a plethora of plot lines based on what type of person you would like to play. There's political scheming, there are quests, there's mystery, there are the parties, there's slice of life. For more examples, check out some roleplay logs.
Is this a U.S. based game?
We have players from all around the world, but the majority of our players live in the United States, and many of those are in the Pacific Time Zone. We make an effort to try to schedule events for players in other time zones and encourage players to do the same.
What characters are needed?
Check out the +wanted command in the game, which lists needed characters and outlines some ideas for other types of characters we'd like to see.
There are a lot of people sitting around in their rooms! Do they ever get out and play?
We've developed a strong social community, and lots of folks like to stay connected even when they're mostly distracted at work or with family. Feel free to page people if you're interested in roleplay! Most won't mind maintaining a slow one-on-one scene while they work.
Do you guys ever get together in Real Life?
Yes! We have an annual Gather where players from all around the world are invited to meet. The next gather is scheduled for May 23-26, 2008 (Memorial Day Weekend) in Las Vegas, Nevada. Contact staff for more information!
Website
How do I create a page for my character?
See the Character Pages Howto for a step-by-step answer.
I don't like your color choices. Can I have others?
Sure. Change your preferences to pick a different skin.
I can't see large pictures, such as the Icon Theatre. Is your site broken?
Accounts created before November 2007 had a smaller default image size limit. Change your preferences to allow the largest image size. New accounts shouldn't have this problem.
I see something inaccurate. Can I change it?
Yes! If it's on a page that users can edit, please help us keep the site accurate. If it's on a staff-protected page, let us know using the discussion page.
Can I add a link to another website?
You may add to our Links page if your linked site is of general interest to roleplaying games or MUSHing, or provides an alternative OOC venue for players to gather. Advertising for specific sites is not permitted from the links page.
You may link to personal websites of interest, including other games you play, from an OOC section of your character's page. Staff reserves the right to remove offensive links.
