The Empire Herald: Allods Fan Mag

[knightmair]

Yes, this is actually take 2. I have been away on Aika. I was part of the crew that was trying to make the Fan Mag "Empire" back in closed beta but the original guy that was making the issue disappeared and I got involved with my guild in Aika which has fallen apart since the IP ban news. While my guild may still be able to be salvaged from the ashes I have come back here since this game lends its self better to the Role Play side of things.
Well I guess I move on and as such have decided to get back to writing again, writing for Allods. I thought I would try to resurrect the old Empire magazine project. I still have some of the old work I had made for the old issue and have already made some new things for the new issue. Again I will be writing for Empire, mainly because all my game play experience is in Empire, but I hope that will soon change and I release 2 issues a month. One for Empire, One for League.
I am hoping that I will be releasing these on a monthly basis. Empire magazine during the first maintainance of the month, and the League Magazine during the 3rd maintainance of the month. Though there will be delays if I am filming those days.
As such I am recruiting. I need people to write articles, make advertisements, images ect.
I am also looking for stories. Character shorts and game play articles.
I am also putting in places for people to advertise their own shops and individual items they are selling.

Hear is the front page. A teaser for the moment. This is a new article and was not written up for the old magazine. Though I need to get an image for the front.

A New Hope

The Zem Institute of Technology has just announced their first complete success on a top secret project.
The project was a long range transportation device. Made so that our warriors on the front lines of the Holy Land wars could safely be extracted from the battlefield in times of danger and reduce the number of casualties sustained in battle.
“The project has been running for over two years.” Said a spokesperson for ZIT “This is the first time we have had a complete teleportation without anything being left behind. Many candidates have tried the experimental teleporter without success, some even resulting… Continued on page 4.

I thought I would put a preview here. The front page, and the start of Empires Herald Newspaper.



Yes, so far it is filled with CS items. If anyone wants to advertise their own shops. Like a Potions Shop then PM a request, I will be putting them up in the Classifieds.

I still wait.

I think I will write a new article, rather than use the old one I did for you. Any new things happen with you while I was away?

Actually after cb I went to Aika. I only recently started posting here again, and I haven't even created a character yet. Unfortunately my name was also taken, on purpose though, and with recent events (everyone quiting) I'm not motivated to play again. This new arena looks good though, the only thing that is making me check this forum now is the arena they're implementing. I want to see how it goes, and if there are active people participating in it, I will too. But, I will only play casually since there are other games that come before Allods atm, but this may change. Anyway, I don't expect you to write an article about me now, since no one knows me anymore. Well all the factors do, but other then that, the article would have responses going something along the lines of "Who is Water? " but of course most others will say "Water #1 Scout."

A new teaser. Page 3.
Still have not finished page 2 as I got more than 1 article on that one. I could do a proper posing picture if I had better images. Maybe I can do one later, one similar to my Aika signature which is not here. So here is page 3. I am planning to make page 3 the armoury section. Show off some cool looking armours and weapons. Hope you guys like this. I will post up an articles page later, but not one of the main articles as well as a few examples of other pages so that people can see what I am trying to do.


Also I am also looking for a few player celebrities. Players that are popular on both League and Empire sides so that I can follow them in articles.

I am looking for people to write up a few articles on the game. Either articles related to game development or anything outside game play. Or articles based on events in game.

Also I need someone to write me something on the World War S event, take photos, find a few heroes in the war to mention. This will all go into a 4 page spread on the Holy Lands and the war against Empire and the League. Since this issue is an Empire issue I will mainly need people from the Empire's side for writers, but later I hope to make a League version so any league writers interested, feel free to write up some stuff and I will make something later.

First Issue is up. But it is coming in pieces since it is incomplete due to me being the only one writing at the moment.
