Have you ever fancied yourself as a sports reporter? Are you more inquisitive than Lois Lane? Have you more creativity than Van Gogh with both his ears? In that case, we might have something that's right up your street.

Every month we will be releasing a player driven newsletter. Nope, this doesn't mean that it comes with four wheels and a gear stick, but rather we want you to make the content of the newsletter and we will compile it. This is a really good opportunity to use your creativity and get your thoughts across to the whole community.

Ok, so what are we looking for?

Well, for the first issue, we will be thinking about beginnings. So, stories about how you first found RuneScape, reviews of some of the early quests or how you first died would be great.

The sort of areas that we are looking to cover include:

Interviews of players

Creative submissions (for poems/stories etc)

Quest reviews

Event reviews

Other reviews

Editorials (for if you just want to comment on something)

Sports reviews (obviously of RuneScape sports like Gnomeball Leagues or wrestling)

Journalism (for proper RuneScape relate journalistic pieces)


On top of that, we will also be including information on upcoming events, competitions, quizes and so on.

As you probably noticed, I said that the content will mainly be written by players. So, the next question is how do you get the articles you write to us. Well, simply E-Mail any article to postbag@jagex.com.

The only thing to make sure you do is to put the word "newsletter" and the sort of article it is (quest review/event review/editorial/etc) in the title of the E-Mail so we can sort it more easily.


So, if you fancy getting your name in the newsletter, get writing! We don't mind whether you are members or not, we can't wait to see what you send us!

Mat.

Sounds like a good idea. I might enter a story for how I joined runescape, and how I first died, left runescape, and then came on again about 5 years later when everything good had gone.

Newsletter not newspaper. ^.-
This might be good, hopefully people are mature enough to send in articles that are interesting and enjoyable.

ive seen this before. It will be cool, but they have been working on it forever and no results.

No the project was brought up and it didn't have alot of people working on it and it wasn't high priority so it was slowly being made.

It would be cool if the newspaper became an ingame item (i.e the Varrock Times) and you could read it that way.

Yeah, maybe a monthly one you can buy for like 20 gold.
Crash Jordan
That would suck.


I hope it's just a newspost.
Egg
I was thinking is was more along the lines of an e-mail they send out. confused.gif
Crash Jordan
That too. How about a newspost, with an option of being alerted to updates via email?
unorclan
Sounds interesting, I might consider sending something in.
Sadly, I believe that this newsletter will be extremely censored (which of coure they have that right) but just saying.

The only part of this I feel to be potentially interesting is the journalistic pieces, but there isn't much to report on.

((PARKER, GET IN HERE!))

sounds like a great idea :)

A newspaper and a newsletter are very different things dry.gifA newspaper is a piece of paper that you hold in your hands. A newsletter is anything that contains news, on paper or via email or other mediums. USE WORDS WITH PRECISION.

/grammar nazi rant

I'll likely submit something for this. Sounds interesting, and could end up being really cool if people actually read it and stuff.
Mechable
Are we allowed to post constructive criticism about a recent update/quest or do we have to essentially suck up to Jagex to be able to be in the newsletter?
Alex
Call yerself a writer Alex?

I might have to knock something up, or whip out one of my ready-made articles; like any good chef I make them ahead of time and freeze them so I can forget to post them and make excuses more effectively.

I don't play Runescape, but maybe I could try out the RS beginnings smile.gif

You can already sign up for the Jagex 'mail' but they never send out anything.
