Hmmm, I might help out with this by submitting some art. I'm sure a good majority of the members here wouldn't mind taking part as well.

Alyssaa · Mar 09, 2010, 04:10 PM // 16:10

I can probably submit some videos and/or Texmods.. I just have no idea what you're looking for / expecting from us.

EDIT:
I've visited your forum, and it looks pretty promising!
As for the video part; what kind of videos are you looking for?

Just some examples of my videos:

If you'd want to have a custom video for your magazine, message me.

Any excuse for making fan art!

26) Test Krewe: Behind the Scenes

I saw that on your list. We all had to sign NDA's, so getting anything from us is not going to work, sorry.

But this looks very interesting. Best of luck!

Looks rather interesting. Hopefully this will take off for you guys.

Okay, that idea was ambitious

Especially the "Behind the Scenes" part.

It could be an article about the Test Krewe, the when, what, who, how and why, as an informative article but without any details. I want to keep ArenaNet happy, but does that make Test Krewe an instant "The first rule of Test Krewe is... there is no Test Krewe." ???

No, we can still write about it in general terms.

Also, if you're not on the Test Krewe, you didn't sign the NDA. Disclose away!

Dutch Sunshine · Mar 13, 2010, 04:08 PM // 16:08

We now got our website up and running: www.tyriamag.com
If you got what it takes to write/design/sketch/etc for a magazine, go and sign up and maybe you will join the team!

It's a template. ;p I'm guessing since it's by Elegant Theme's they probably paid for it as well. I would like to see the layout have something to do with GW.

Do you think I should put a GW2 logo from 2007 across the header?

This is all we can, easily, say:

We test stuff.

Lots of people prefer to keep the knowledge of them being in the test krewe secret, such as ___________. The when what how and why are, for the most part, NDA. You'd have much more information getting it from the devs themselves, so set up an interview with Linsey, Regina, Martin, or Gee!

A non-TK wouldn't know what happens in the TK.

The motto is more of "What happens in the Test Krewe, stays in the Test Krewe... unless the devs say otherwise."

The "globe" is more of a GW1-GW2 logo, the Dragon making a 2 is more of a GW2 logo. Is there even a GW1 logo?

So go with the "globe."

I would say you should find someone who is willing to modify your layout into it being GW/Magazine related. :\

I don't see it as a priority when compared to actually getting content for the mag... which doesn't look like it will happen at this stage.

As for TK... there's things we can tell the average reader who has little to no idea what TK is...

- What's the history of player involvement in GW1 testing?
- When did it start? 2009 IIRC, and it took a while to truly start up.
- Who is involved? ArenaNet's Live team, and what they were looking for, and players, and how they applied. Members can say they're in it, but generally prefer not to, so they avoid questions.
- What is the team for? What have the results been? The team does [this - look at what ArenaNet have said about it]. We've had X update, with [..] reception.
- Will they be involved in beta testing GW2? It's a GW1-only thing.
- Where does the name come from?
- How can I get on the TK?

Okay, so it's more of a Test Krewe summary; publicly available information compressed into one easily digested tablet.

There are some good posts in that thread I think ;p My opinion personally has sorta changed though. I think it'd be best to recruit people closer to GW2 release and make it a GW2 magazine.

No release dates have been announced. Information released in the 4th Quarter 2009 NCSoft Report states that the "current development target for Guild Wars 2 is for the end of 2010 with the full commercial release" taking place in 2011. Information gleaned from 3rd Quarter 2009 NCSoft Report specifically states that GW2 will likely have a public event in the form of a closed beta in 2010 with current projected release date in 2011.
