This has been bugging me all day and I really just have to get it off my chest.
Please, please, please can we have a NEWS article on the front page ??
I know it's the holidays, and that people have been busy with RL stuff and events etc ....
but for the love of Lootius, is a childrens fiction format the best that anyone can come up with as 'EU News' ??
I don't care how well-written fan fiction is, it just ISN'T news!
So much has happened since Skam's last article on 14 December:
. The sale/purchase of CP
. Introduction of Tiers & Enhancers
. Merry Mayhem
. End of SGA
. The new mobs
. Christmas gifts, and the players who contributed to their designs
... and the list goes on...
(No no, dont stop the woman mid-rant - always wait til fireworks have gone out before trying to handle them kiddies)
Is there no wordsmith out there who can craft something out of any of that, and let us enjoy the sort of well-written and researched front page article we have come to expect (and perhaps take for granted) from the likes of Skam, JimmyB, MS9, Pinky or SirOdd ???
And no, don't tell me I should submit one myself, I'm well aware of my own limitations, and journalism is not a skill I even pretend to have.
But truly, at the moment it's like turning on The 7.30 Report and finding that it's been replaced by Home & Away, or that Kerri-Anne Kennerley is filling in for Kerry O'Brien.
Ok, that feels better....
