Some time soon I would like to apply for some type of position in a MUD. I was thinking RP Imm or Newbie Guide or something like that. But I don't really know what goes on behind the scenes. So, I have these two questions:

~What type of skills must you have.
I don't know how code. But have to take a class on C+ soon. So I guess I'll know the basics pretty soon.

~Do have to devote more than 10 hours a week?
Since this is just a hobby of mine, I don't know if I can give up anymore than that.

I've been playing two games lately. Dragon's Gate and a game I won't mention. I like both and most likely if I can, I will apply at Dgate. I wouldn't mind the other game, but I rather work at a Role Playing MUD.

Also, my Private Message box is open if you want to send a message there.

To expand on the previous post, each mud looks for different qualities in the staff members.  The most general attributes are a good grasp of the language and the ability to communicate in it, being trustworthy and reliable, and *usually* a firm understanding of the game's layout (story, rules, mechanics, etc).

Overall the best way to find out specific requirements is to talk to the person who does the hiring for the mud you want to apply at.  Best of luck.
