I think a new edition of The Zone USA is long overdue. I would like to know who's interested in bringing it back.I think a new edition of The Zone USA is long overdue. I would like to know who's interested in bringing it back.

With a few exceptions, American users don't seem to frequent the forums, you could maybe post that you're looking to bring back the Zone and that people should contact you on the different official league boards from top division to maybe 3rd and see if a team of contributors could be put together.With a few exceptions, American users don't seem to frequent the forums, you could maybe post that you're looking to bring back the Zone and that people should contact you on the different official league boards from top division to maybe 3rd and see if a team of contributors could be put together.

I've sent a couple of emails already and I'm waiting to hear back from MZ staff.

Lovely graphics. Too bad this game's community is so dead making a zone seems like a lost cause unless it's one of the top ten or so countries.Lovely graphics. Too bad this game's community is so dead making a zone seems like a lost cause unless it's one of the top ten or so countries.

Agree. Putting together the issues was quite a bit of work. The last rendition we only had two RA's for a spell and then dropped to one for the last few issues. Never really got a lot of feedback regarding the effort and I hate to admit but kind of fell into a rut on the articles as I rushed to get things completed by deadlines. Had some good ideas for potential articles at the time, but running the research was proving to be more effort than I had the free time to manage. Agree that due to the small number of USA managers who are active on the forum, it will have top be a labor of love to keep it going. Best of luckAgree.

I was the head RA of the USA Zone waaaaay back in 2009 and to increase our readership I went bilingual with it, it's a lot of work but you increase your readership and also your potential helpers as you can recruit people that might not have a good level of english but can write in spanish, after that is a matter of translating the articles.... The USA community was much larger in 2009 though, so I don't know if this would work today but I guess is worth a try.

I'd vote for bilingual as well. My Spanish is still very weak but I enjoy the opportunities to try to further develop it.I'd vote for bilingual as well. My Spanish is still very weak but I enjoy the opportunities to try to further develop it.

Looking forward to reading it! I'm still sceptical about the zones readership but hopefully it gets people more involved in the game again. Good idea going bilingual too, it's something in retrospect I think the Canadian zone back in the day really should have done as wellLooking forward to reading it!
