The E-Zine is in its early stages, but i am working hard to get this off the ground. A website will be up shortly, and im hoping to have the first issue by march 1st.

I have high expectations for this zine. If you feel that this is not something you would want to be serious about, you need not apply.

sounds cool, but won't everyone here know the information by then?

edit-actually sounds really cool, the reviews would be key though. sorry for intruding, this was meant to be posted on by ppl interested in helping, you wouldn't want me.

[Squeeky]

Sure they will. But there will be battle information to report, Strategies, In-Game screenshots (user submitted), Columns to keep you entertained, And MUCH more!

[Squeeky]

So will this mostly be after the game comes out? Because there won't be any reviews until then. And what sort of interviews were you thinking of doing?

I'm interested, but I would like to find out more before I commit myself to it.

[Squeeky]

UPDATE:

I've received an overwhelming response. I will be choosing my staff shortly. Planetside.info has extended an offer to give me webspace for my ezine site with PHP, SQL, etc.... unlimited bandwith, 20mb webspace. Look for a site soon!

[Ludio]

So does that mean you aren't taking anymore applications?

[Squeeky]

Applications are, and will remain open for all positions at the moment.

[Ludio]

Could you answer my previous questions then? Also what sort of columns are you going to do, i.e. fiction, issues with the game, reports on recent game events etc...

[Squeeky]

Sure ludio.

So will this mostly be after the game comes out?

Yes, I have plans to launch the newsletter at the beginning of march. Or april, depending on the release date. it will contain news, reviews (of the game), special events, colmuns, anything you couldimagine, thats why i need people to contribute. All you need to do is write the content the senior editor assigns you and i will implement it into that months volume, you will get full credit. Im currently working to get logo's, banners etc... done with my graphics artsist.

Ok thanks Squeeky.
