I'm all ears as to how to recruit area builders. It appears that of the 6 wizards we've gained this year, two do any area programming.

Complexity and challenge make an area take anywhere from 3 months to a year or more before it sees live. Cookie cutter areas can be spit out in less than a month, but are largely boring to code, explore, and xp in. Plenty open to suggestions/thoughts/ideas here.
