Would you like to become a part of the team?

Here's what we are looking for in order of importance:

Last updated June 17, 2010

NEWS WRITER

Those who are interested in this position will be expected to report on all the latest news regarding Final Fantasy XIV and its development. You will be expected to check all of the latest news sources on a daily/semi-daily basis and post anything you find as soon as you find it. You will be expected to cite all sources and, if media is involved, you can simply link to it or upload it somewhere such as ImageShack or Photobucket until I am able to host it on the site.

Relatively strong spelling, punctuation and grammar is required.

Positions available: 2+

TRANSLATOR

Those who are interested in this position will be expected to check all of the latest Japanese news sources on a daily/semi-daily basis and post translations of anything worth reading as soon as possible. Living in Japan is a bonus but not necessarily required.

Positions available: 2

PODCAST

Those who are interested in this position will be expected to produce and maintain a podcast about FFXIV for this site. If you don't know what that is or how it works, this job isn't for you.

Positions available: multiple

ACTIVITY COORDINATOR

Those who are interested in this position will be expected to organize a variety of interactive activities on a weekly/monthly basis (depending on the activity). Such activities may include trivia, riddles, etc. Creativity and punctuality is a must. Feel free to discuss your ideas with me via PM.

Positions available: 2

GRAPHIC DESIGNER

Those who are interested in this position will be expected to make various news article images, matching staff signatures, etc. You will not be in charge of our site's layout. Applicants must have some quality examples of what they can do. Also note that even if you are very talented you may not be chosen if I don't feel your style complements this site. You are, however, more than welcome to try again after receiving feedback.

Positions available: 2

FFXI SPECIALIST

Those who are interested in this position will be expected to be active players of Final Fantasy XI, participating in the latest game updates and capable of bringing some life and consistency to our FFXI section. This can be done though the creation of threads, posting about the newest patches/updates, building up our "FFXI Media" section, etc. This may or may not also be a moderating position depending on the individual.

Positions available: 2

MODERATOR

I have received quite a lot of interest in regard to becoming a moderator for this site, so here's where things currently stand:

For anyone interested in becoming a moderator, you must first become an active member of the community (particularly in the section you wish to moderate, but elsewhere as well). Follow the rules, be respectful, be helpful and do your best to create activity when/where it's needed. If you feel you have done these things you are more than welcome to contact me about a position; however, chances are I will be contacting you.

Even if you meet the criteria above, please don't take it personally if not selected to become a moderator. It doesn't mean you're not a valuable member of the community or that circumstances may not change in the future. Besides, you don't have to be a moderator to contribute and make a difference.

If you have any questions about this topic or wish to request further details about a position, please send me a PM.

Please note that I consider all of us a team, so even if not an official staff member, everyone is still more than welcome to participate.

To those of you who wish to join the team, I'll need to see samples of your work.

These positions do not pay; however, staff members will be recognized as such and given appropriate status. There will likely be other benefits and special activities as well.

I look forward to welcoming you to the team!
