This suggestion is about making trading, guild recruiting, events and other misc more accessable by all Guild Wars 2 characters. The idea is simple, but maybe not so simple to do. The idea is a Newspapers.
What can this be used for?[edit]
Normal characters can add a page to the newspaper, better explained later. The page will have content writen for your purpose. It can be a text about Looking for a Guild, Looking for members to your Guild, Trading (Selling & Buying), Guild Wars 2 Events, Funny Comments and other...
What, Where & When?[edit]
The newspaper should be a item. Purchaseable from Merchants or from something similar to this. If the Newspaper Box will be used, they should be located in Towns. There will be a new Newspaper everyday. The newspaper should have a afordable price, around 50g - 100g from Merchant. It shouldn't be able to sell to another player, but to a Merchant (For example; for 1g). It should be able to be droped, but not picked up again by another player. You can have old news paper remaining in your inventory or storage when you get a new one. You can have as many as you want to have, but I guess it would be prefered to remove it once readed. The news paper should be accessable 24/7, 365(366) days a year. The release of the daily news paper should be at the same time over the whole world, even if that means 14.30 somewhere and 02.00 another place.
Adding a Article / Application[edit]
It should be easy to add a article or application to the newspaper, but it should cost. Posting one page in the newspaper should cost around 1k - 5k. The page you add to the newspaper should have a limited amount of letters, maybe around 600. Everybody should be able to post. The posting should be accessable from Towns, from a special NPC. The NPCs title should be something like Newspaper Handler or Newspaper Editor. Adding checkboxes, forms and statestics to the newspapers could also be a option. A poster should also be allowed to be anonymous. Rules to posting in the newspaper should also be added, but I don't have the rights to make the rules.
Internet[edit]
All news pages and newspapers should be accessable from the internet. However, they should be released a day or two after the actually release. There all the submited forms, checkboxes and other stuffs data should be fetched and revealed. This makes statestics much easier!
How can this be used for the Guild Wars 2 team?[edit]
Making event even more clear for all users. There should also be possible to change price and icon of the news for special events. Christmas, Easter and other great events should have their newspapers for free, and maybe with a new and fiting icon? The newspaper can also contain information about updates in game, staff and other things.
However..[edit]
New NPCs takes extra space in towns and may cause lag. There will maybe be bugs in fetching data from Game to Internet. It has to be many people working on reading and checking news articles before released to the public (Rules..). Space of gw.dat will increase, and maybe explode in size if old newspapers should remain. The loading time will increase for every new newspaper. Even if all that is bad, I got the worst here. There has to be updates everyday for the newspaper to be updated. This means no days without a new update!
