Discover the city that never sleeps
Creswell (KRES-wuhl) is a (fictitious) city in and the county seat of Weber County, Utah, United States, located approximately 10 miles east of the Great Salt Lake and 40 miles north of Salt Lake City. The city served as a major railway hub through much of its history, and still handles a great deal of freight rail traffic, which makes it a convenient location for manufacturing and commerce. Creswell is also known for its many historic buildings and proximity to the Wasatch Mountains.
Frequently Asked Questions
Right now, no. The sim is currently paid by just me. Any additional sims would result in the financial stability being more reliable on rentals rather than just reliable on my own income, which I don’t care for. We’ve approached this as wanting to be self-sustainable forever regardless of popularity and that’s where we’re at now and where we intend to stay. Its much less stressful for all parties involved.
Having said that, we’re open to the possibility of it in the distant future. Time will tell. The more we grow, who knows?
The admin team runs the day-to-day operations of Creswell. We work as a collective unit and collaborate on nearly everything. We take feedback, suggestions and folk’s words very seriously. While Kat provides overall direction for the community, Creswell is not a one-person operation. We believe the best decisions come from collaboration, and important matters are discussed as a team to ensure multiple viewpoints are considered before moving forward.
Residential rentals will always be first come first serve. This will includes businesses but with the obvious caveat that we can disapprove a business application for any reason.
We don’t believe in constantly looking over peoples shoulders. If you’re approved for a role, business, or department our goal is that you’ll have the freedom to make it your own and enjoy it. That said, we do expect those positions/spaces to remain active and contribute to the community. The only time we would really look at making changes is if something has been sitting inactive/abandoned for a period of time or there are ongoing issues/complaints that need to be addressed.
When in doubt, make a ticket. But ultimately you can always ask a staff member whatever question, comment or suggestion you have is and we can address it. There’s often a stigma around tickets that we want to remove now. Our staff team is incredible, but if just one staff member sees a specific thought, idea, or suggestion then not everyone gets a chance to review it. If at any point we tell you to make a ticket, its not so that we can ignore it- rather its so we can all see it.
Consider this- Tickets are on Discord. All of the staff have Discord on our phones and a ticket being created pings us. We keep a close eye on tickets and typically see them very quickly, even if we aren’t able to respond right away. So if you’re asked to make a ticket- its not for any reason other than our process, or us wanting everyone to see what you said.
We do! We also strongly encourage players to host their own events within the sim. If you’re unsure whether an idea fits, just ask. We’d much rather help you make an event happen than have you talk yourself out of it. All current events can be found on our calendar, along with a submission form if you want to add your own event to it. If you have an event lined up, be sure to also promote it within the 🗞️┃ic-advertisements channel in the discord so everyone knows its coming.
We follow Utah rules and regulations for gun ownership. Handguns, Semi-automatic rifles, shotguns, and any weapons that could reasonably be owned by a citizen in the great State of Utah are permissible. Military grade weapons are prohibited without admin approval.
Admin approval would be granted in rare occasions that the story may lead to its acquisition.
The best way to reach us is through Discord. Most of the staff team has Discord on their phones, so messages are often seen much faster there than they would be in-world. If your question requires staff discussion, feedback, or a formal review, we may ask you to create a ticket so the entire team can see it and weigh in.
If you are searching for staff in-world you’ll find staff boards within the landing zone, where you can contact an online member directly. If you have any questions, suggestions, concerns, or have something you’re unsure about, feel free to contact us through whichever method is most convenient for you. If it needs additional attention, we’ll point you in the right direction.
Shared Spaces
In an effort to make this sim accessible to everyone without the added barrier of cost, we have created spaces around the sim that are typically marked as rentals but that are free for anyone to use.
When you see this symbol on or around a door, that room has been marked as available for anyone to use.
That is to say, for the duration of your scene, that space is “yours”. You are welcome to say your character lives or works in that space, and everyone is expected to play along.
However, this only extends for the length of your scene, so if you return later and someone else is using the space, you may not role-play being upset that someone is “in your house/office”.
