(Idea) Make a news caster system. People would pay 500,000 credits to have the ability to create news. Maybe a higher price, or almost every member will be spamming news. They would have categories to chose from such as Queen Sightings, Storm Sightings and whatever else. This would create a role playing aspect to the game. A few people would pay to become news casters, and he or she might make some money on the side of that from people wanting to post news through the news caster.

Unfortunately, this already exists in the form of "/join 100"

What the news system is good for is giving info that is not immediately apparent, is not convenient to get, is too in-depth to be posted to chat, or is too important not to have available to everyone for a prolonged period of time.
