Guys,

We're looking for a volunteer MMO contributor to write the occasional article. We have a bunch of preview code coming in for some big upcoming titles and we simply can't keep up with it all - not in the level of detail we want to provide to MMO players, anyway.

If anyone is interested in a /volunteer/ position contributing to AusGamers and getting access to some of the latest MMOs and writing up the occasional article for us in return, then please shoot me a message.

This has the potential to turn into a paid freelance role if you're really good and take it seriously.

Requirements:

* Hardcore MMO player. You need to live and breathe this stuff.

* Ability to write concisely and clearly

* Willingness to spend enough time playing a new game (...THAT IS NOT WORLD OF WARCRAFT) to be able to think and write critically about it with a view to educating your fellow MMO crowd

Interested? Let us know.

You should get boba to do it, while your paying him to do nothing anyway, this might be something he can actually put on his JD.

Further to this, his addictions to games makes him the perfect candidate. "Boba, I'm playing eve" /boba goes and opens up 5 accounts and skills them constantly running multiple missions on each.

However his "ability to write concisely and clearly" may be his fault as he is known to get angry, resulting in:
"Worlf of Warcraft, by Ricky Ashcroft"
"Wow is gay"

"Eve Online, by Ricky Ashcroft"
"Eve is gay"

Warhammer Online, Age of Reckoning, by Ricky Ashcroft"
"f*** WAR is gay, so f***ing buggy and s***, RAAAAAAAGH"

haha

* Ability to write concisely and clearly

that rules me out

Mutually exclusive.

Would be fun, but writing ability is something I lack (if that wasn't readily evident).

Trogg you need to find someone who doesnt work, about a year ago i would of been able to help you...I miss living at home, living off my wad of cash from working so hard 2 years before hand...then i got a gf, moved out and now im poor and only get a hour to game, damn snoo snoo takes all my spare time :P

Is this how you hired Steve Farrelly?

Define hardcore mmo player.

you gotta be a poopsocker

Define hardcore mmo player.

Someone who doesn't have enough time between sessions to come on QGL?

would be massive gaps between games, i even get an understand of an MMO u normally need to spend like 2-3 weeks to even get max level before u can access half the games s***e :|

Nah, for Steve Farrelly they put 10 golden tickets into chocolate bars, and then sold them amongst hundreds of regular chocolate bars.

Steve got one of the golden tickets, and then went along to Mammoth with nine other people and their parents.

Then, Willy Wonka and the oompa-loompas... ah f*** it, who cares.

maybe you can get some figures together from people to gauge how hardcore they are at mmo's

age
height
weight
days since last shower
months since last haircut
number of girls you've bedded

i'm sure you guys can work it out from there

weight - 245lb
days since last shower - 9
months since last haircut - 9

I've long since decided I'm above MMOs though. Let me know if you need an anime correspondant.

I played WoW Eve and War at the same time once am I hardcore enough yet.
