The Galactic NewspaperFollow

#1 Jun 29 2005 at 5:08 AM Rating: Decent
I was playing today I got to thinking that there should a galactic newspaper, and a journalist profession to go with it. The Galactic newspaper would be written by the players and it would have advertisements for merchants, profession tip, mission and quest tips, and a general help section (newbie section) and things like that. I dont know maby there could be two versions of the paper one for imps and one for rebs? and at least the way i see it, it would be like the politician, and pilot professions costing 0 skill points to learn. what do you think?

I remember a group of people used to have an actual news show (filmed in game of course!) where they would give some broad news and some server specific events. I don't remember what server they were on, but it was not mine, so I didn't follow them.

They are all probably gone now tho.

It does sound like a pretty nifty idea especially for those that are into roll playing.

I am sure that if you idea was written up with some possible examples of what you have in mind, SOE might pick it up or release something like it.

Well there are news terminals in starports but they usually have ony 2 or 3 lines. They could be expanded greatly. Of course you would then need someone on each server to keep them up to date. That's probably one less dev working on bug fixes and such.

If they had a system whereby players could submit posts that would be cool. Of course you would need a moderator to check all submissions before they were posted to keep out the spam and things like that.
