Happy New Year Bootleggers! AnotherAldarion

The world entered 2011 and so did Bootleggers. Following an eventful year is a year where we do not really know what is going to happen. Considering the recent decline in players Bootleggers saw in 2010 the possibility that the game will not survive 2011. It does not seem, however, that likely if we look at the recent updates to the crimes feature as well as promised updates to other essential features of the game.

From a Buzz perspective, we hope we can continue to deliver issues throughout the year. The target is to cover the major events in the year, as well as continuing to offer the readers opinionated articles and, last but definitely not least, contests similar to the recently organized Christmas Contest. We start the year with a significantly smaller base of writers compared to a year ago but the team grew in the past few weeks. It would be great if this upward spiral can be continued throughout the year. Therefore, we would always welcome new writers to the team.

I also want to remind people who did submit an application but died before they got an answer to resubmit, because there is no way we can see or track your new accounts. As always, freelance articles are very welcome as well. We would be happy with anything we get, as long as it matches the rules stated by both the Buzz and the TOS.

On behalf of the Buzz staff, we wish you a healthy and happy new year!
