Nave News - Server news

Yobaj · 28th June 2009, 04:11

I would like to introduce Nave News to you my fellow Mortal followers!

Nave News

Mortal Online has gotten another adition to it's list of fan-sites. This time it's a newspaper!

Nave News will cover the political, financial and social development of different Mortal Online servers, intially the one and only betaserver (if NDA is lifted). We will do this with a RP tone, as if Nave News is a real newspaper in Nave. But we will need help to be able to do this.

We are now looking for a staff of writers/journalists. People who can write columns that reflect over occuring events but also journalists that go and find us news to publish.

If you are interested in being a part of this staff send a mail to contact@navenews.com Tell us about your:

Writing experiences
Age
Country
Education
Time you have available

We don't have the ability to give our staff any salary or money at the moment. But if things sort out properly, it's possible.

We will also be heavily dependant on informants. People that give us leads and information that are true will be rewarded with in-game gold. We will also respect those who wish to stay anonymous.

Avertising is possible. You can read more about it on the website.

Hope you find Nave News as a good thing for MO and most importantly useful in the future. We would appreciate constructive comments

Nice. I'll follow this one! All good luck to you!

Faranox · 28th June 2009, 04:41

Great idea!

I can see it now! I'll accidentally let slip the location of my favorite mining area, and someone will tell the newspaper about it. "THIS JUST IN, HUGE ORE DEPOSIT FOUND AT XX!" Then of course I'd kill the informant. Very cool.

Good idea and I like that minimalism style

Zigkirby · 28th June 2009, 15:59

Looking good!

Lion1978 · 28th June 2009, 16:00

Good Idea!

Wish you luck with that and be sure I´ll come along and read your articles.

Gryff · 28th June 2009, 16:45

Very good idea. +1

Yobaj · 28th June 2009, 18:16

Thanks for all the positive comments guys!

I've gotten two applications now, but we are in need of some more, especially from Europe! Go ahead, apply

LightsabeR · 28th June 2009, 18:57

Good luck with this, hope it works out.

Rathius · 28th June 2009, 19:06

This sounds very cool!

Good to see this up, and good to be working with you!

yXXe · 28th June 2009, 19:58

Best of luck!

Anciegher · 2nd July 2009, 14:19

Slow site and bad writing

Hope it gets better with time.

Arabeta · 2nd July 2009, 14:26

Very cool, I might toss my card into this also.

BlindMonkey · 2nd July 2009, 14:29

The look and feel of the site appeals to me. I like the whole 'looking-like-a-newspaper' thing - it's a cute idea.

Scream112 · 4th July 2009, 01:31

"Database Error: Unable to connect to the database:Could not connect to MySQL"

what have you done? I cant see any website... geez. :P

Will try and follow this one also. see what becomes of it. its could be a nice source for our DJ's to get topics to talk about in the future.

Genghis Khan · 4th July 2009, 04:09

Good idea, i likey.

I suggest payment by IGC (in-game currency) to avoid complications. But it's up to you.

good lux

Yobaj · 7th July 2009, 18:31

Hi Everyone!

I'd just like to explain how come the site isn't working right now. Our hosting service has gotten some problems. So the site is offline right now. BUt we are working to fix this.

BlindMonkey · 7th July 2009, 19:22

We've all been there mate

I've moved off free hosting onto cheap hosting to try and avoid hosting issues, and so far it's worked quite well. Though the dollar a month hosting fee is breaking my back!

Koschei · 7th July 2009, 23:58

Just think of how much candy that dollar could've bought you!

Yobaj · 8th July 2009, 16:00

It wasn't free hosting actually. Just a small hoster that was pretty cheap. But apparantly, someone who used the same hosting was using a site to fishing(spelling?) activities. So they closed down the whole host...

BlindMonkey · 8th July 2009, 16:37

Phishing?

Ach not so good. That's quite an extreme response.

Apologies, I didn't mean to imply you were as cheap as me

Just generally having a go at the stability of some hosting companies.

kio1992 · 8th July 2009, 18:09

i used to think phishing was l33t speak for fishing :P

Easy assumption. L33t speak is well known for being utterly retarded and pointless.

Beriana · 9th July 2009, 19:19

couldn't link, then saw Yobaj's post re host problems - good luck on the fix, looking forward to seeing it when it is up and running again

teratoma · 29th July 2009, 04:19

any news on the sites return?

Azrogan · 29th July 2009, 05:09

Sounds like an awesome idea, good luck with it!
