This sounds interesting. What kind of newspapers will you plan to publish - target audience, main topics/abouts ('world' news? gossip? a mix?),

If there was a war, would it pick a side? hmm?

And would it do advertisments :)? or [LOL] a classified section?

An IC, ingame newspaper has been done before a few times, my favourite was the "Hydlaa Paper" by Valaren of The Warriors, which was in circulation around the time of the Tolian Tyndale scandal.

I know it is not complete yet. I have started the business though. Well the the newspaper will have a headline then advertisements - which people can pay if they want theirs advertised-, and the news will be mixed, there will be various articles, including critic section, foods, headline etc. as for now the headline is the only one permanently in there, the other articles might come and go in different issues as for now.

This is a totally neutral newspaper. It will not pick sides in wars.  Although any alignment can join this guild as long as they don't cause trouble.

Nice idea - and yeah, I've heard of a few attempts at a newspaper being done in game, but it'd be cool to see one widely circulated.

I have an alt that may be interested in joining the organization.

Eh-hem... what exactly are going to be on these trading cards?  How will they be made?  Is there anything you can do with them other than ... trade them?  I'm just wondering if this is Magic: The Gahtering or Pokemon type trading cards or just some sort of baseball cards type thing [sorry if this is a huge run-on or some thing and I'm probably taking up a lot of your time anyway...]

Finally a reply :). We are experimenting to make them using "maps" in game.  This will be like  Magic: The Gahtering or Pokemon type trading cards but I am still thinking if I will follow their rules of play or if I should invent some new things using cards .

Thanks for the post :))

Maybe. Might also include gambling, tournaments, etc. involving the cards
