The rules are simple and rewards are huge so make sure not to miss this one.
The goal is to design and implement best area possible. You can create the area at Ice-dev (a development site for Icesus), keeping your current player account at normal Icesus. You will also have access to our extensive online documentation and Coder-forums for help. Existing Ice-dev wizards can also participate.
To get an access to Ice-dev, you must first have a plan for the area and get it approved. The plan is a document describing the idea, background and theme of the area. See the 'How to become a wizard' post in the Forum's general area or contact Idles/other wizards for more advice.
Mail ready-made area plans to Thoran to get an access to Ice-dev.
