Goals
-
Have fun.
-
Release a publication twice a month that has stories, trade news, and advertisements that can spark ideas and interactions for a target audience of Privateers, Mercenaries, Traders, and the like.
-
Provide a place for groups, individuals, and organizations to publish their creative stories, help wanted, for hire, and events pertaining to the target audience.
-
Be independent. The Privateer Press is not tied to any political roleplay group, faction-specific roleplay group, or any race/kingdom-specific roleplay group but may run articles from time to time denoting the source.
-
To NOT be a source of political, guard, or social role-play stories.

Waits for the corporate appropriate sax to end
Hi there, I’m Staniwick Felmeter. You may recognize me from one or two ads for Felmeter Fabrics, Ironforge. My co-byline in Stormwind Daily. My editor title and writing credits with Privateer Press. I’ve also one time looked at Ba- (Name Redacted) and she may have nodded back, or stared ahead, it can be a little hard when dealing with masked and/or tall people when you’re a Gnome. I’m here today to talk about Privateer Press.
Starwipe Transition
Privateer Press is a monthly trade magazine for the private mercantile and paramilitary sector of Azeroth. Are you part of a free company that is nominally associated with the Horde or Alliance, or at least willing to work with the great factions to face against a existential threat? Do you believe that it’s not red or blue, but gold that truly matters? Are you slightly aroused by projected financial futures of Tel’Abim Bananas in regards to their important for the cocktail trade?
Well that last part may require you to see a specialist, but for any of those interest, Privateer Press may be the publication for you. From stories of private enterprise dealing with trouble, to weather features that affect all of Azeroth, to financial reports for the latest trends that you can take advantage of, Privateer Press is there to cover it. Our staff has recently relocated from our original offices in Booty Bay after being firebombed, to our very own Blackwake Island which is also home to our Rusty Nail Tavern.
When you’re done reading your favorite daily rag, why not give Privateer Press a try? I hope to see you there.
Flashes smile and walks off accompanied by corporately approved saxophone music.

Happy Anniversary to The Privateer. It has been one year since our pilot edition, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the joy and fun we have had delivering articles to everyone. When we started this, it started to share guild stories and grew to include more unique topics like trade news and weather that would affect travelers of all kinds. We hope to continue to bring fun, creative, and exciting stories for months to come.
Highlights include the return of mana droppings, Un’goro flooding, Kiwiz Krayonz hitting the market, a new series of Legends of the Sea, and much more.

Sefi puts out a good paper. And I’m not just saying that because of the threat of being keelhauled.

I just wanted to say that I recently transferred to Moon Guard and have read a couple of the back issues of Privateer Press as well as the most recent edition. I just wanted to thank everyone who puts in the hard work to write this because it is such an excellent source of inspiration and so creative. I really appreciate it and find it amazing.
Thank you again.
