I am hoping a few of you may help me out a bit.. I ran nwn2news.net
for 3.5 yrs, the most successful* non-commercial Neverwinter Nights 2
news and community site which I retired almost a year ago. Been out of
the PC gaming news site scene for awhile. Needed a little break, time
to delve into other interests and hobbies.
However I have been approached about starting a new news/community
site off the ground for an unannounced mmorpg by a major brand RPG in
the gothic-punk setting. I am seeking staff to help me with this
endeavor. I lead nwn2news to break many exclusives in the years we
were online to become a "community leader" and seek to do the same
here.
To be upfront since this project is unannounced currently (I expect it
to go public before the summer, its in early dev currently) there
won't be a huge amount of news or work to start with until the
official announcement. However I want to get everyone onboard now, get
the site up and start to get the site traffic, community forming for
when it does. We will have access to the dev team and I am sure
partake in a close relationship with them as time goes on as we did
with nwn2.
Positions I am looking for:
- News Hound (3 positions) - Scan the net for latest news on the game,
post that and articles relating to the game both pre and post release
- Forum Moderator (3 positions) - Keep the forums more or less clean
and post to keep the discussions active and interesting.
- Interview Manager (2 positions) - Conduct interviews with both the
dev team and community leaders, write and post such on the site
- Community Manager (2 positions) - Post and update database of
community guilds, conduct interview with guild leaders
- IRC OPs (6 positions) - advertise and monitor the irc server/room
Please note this is a hobby not a paying, full time job. However would
like the commitment of no less then 2-3 hrs a week.
If interested please reply to this message here or email (harlemaximus
at yahoo), your name, contact info, what position you'd like and basic
background as it relates to what you are applying for and any info you
feel I should have for consideration.
Please note I can NOT tell you anything more about the game then I
have posted at this time.
Thanks for reading and I look forward to chatting with you all in the
discussions here!
