So as a solution to this, we are starting an articles section and we are recruiting reporters. However, we have some rules. We realize they are pretty strict, so we don't expect to find more than 3-5 people. If no one meets the criteria, then we'll just keep looking for reporters until we find the right one. The last thing we'd want to do is jeopardize the LC feel with crappy articles.

So here goes:

1. You must commit to a 1-3 articles (500-1000 words) per week. If you think that is alot, then this is not for you. :)
2. You have to have decent command of English. This means that (1) you understood what I just said (2) you are capable of speaking without swearing and (3) you can't send in articles like "ZplayerZ jst hit lv 50. he play with -6x AC, 520HP. 3 hr/day. hsi friend he thanks. go team!" (If you can't see what's wrong with that, don't bother applying ;)
3. You must be "In the Know". This means you have to play Lineage enough to know what's going on (at least daily!). This means you must play every day and talk to people. If you know who's level 50 on your server that we haven't put on the Hall of Fame, that means you are "In the Know".
4. You have to be able to take criticism. We may send back what you wrote with a ton of comments and corrections. You should be able to deal with this and not start crying. If you're not mature enough to take constructive criticism, then reporting is not for you.
5. You have to make us proud. :) Think of it like a pledge of it's own. You can't make up lies, you can't trick or scam people, you have to represent LC as if it was your own website. Also, getting banned by NC is not allowed. :)

What you get:

1. You'll be part of the team! As well as included on the staff page, because after all, you're staff.
2. You get to (with proofreading/editing by us) write an article on whatever you want! Don't like a PK? Write an article. Have something to say to NC? Write an article. It's like your own little soapbox to thousands of Lineage players across the world!
3. You'll be first in line to interview level 50+ people or anyone that you want to write an article on. Make people famous!
4. You can be part of our experiments. Find out first hand which monsters are big and small, how much damage DEX does and if SP really affects spell damage.
5. You could earn higher privileges on LC like moderator rights, posting news or even working with lineage2compendium.com ;)

So, if you think you are up to it, here's how to apply:

1. Introduce yourself. Make sure you include your name, main email address, server you play on, characters you play, how long you have played Lineage, AIM screen name to web@lineagecompendium.com
2. Write an article on one of the following: Interview with one of your friends, siege report or description of how to hunt in a certain area and send it in. Must be 500-1000 words.

I hope we find the right people. I know you're out there!
