Why don't they make an NPC or say a newspaper on the information board at adventures guild or something that shows these articles in-game... they have good stuff but for people who only plays the game and only knows whats going on with the game from in-game friends will NEVER read these articles/posts...

I agree :( Me and my bf check Lodestone all the time, since the game came out basically. But the couple of friends we got on the game never look at the website. And when we tell them to look at Lodestone for story stuff, they still don't do it.
*sighs*

I've always had the slightest urge to create an elaborate poll thread hoax.

(Step One) - Create Thread
Post One: "LIKE HERE IF WANT A PET MANDRAGORA!"
Post Two: "LIKE HERE IF YOU WANT TO MAKE OUT WITH A MORBOL!"

(Step Two) - Marinate Generously.
Let thread die after post one has 300 likes and post two has only a few joke likes.

(Step Three) - Bait and Switch
Edit their texts.
Post One: "Like here if want colorful My Little Pony mounts!"
Post Two: "Like here if you don't want colorful My Little Pony mounts!"

(Step Four) - The Prestige
Necropost in own thread to bump it back into view.

(Step Five) - Enjoy
Observe sh!tstorm; hope reps bring word to Yoshida that the players need a DJ P0N-3 summoning whistle (summoning turntables?)

At home, no sooner had word arrived of the return of chocobos than the Maelstrom commissioned Naldiq & Vymelli's with the mass production of reinforced barding in a bid to strengthen its military capacity on land.

I can see it both ways. On one hand, you're right, a lot of players will never see it on the site, let alone bother reading it, so it kind of feels wasted. But at the same time, I like that we get some in-world stories on the site instead of it just being a place to dump patch notes. It's nice to be "rewarded" for reading the Lodestone.

I think the best solution would be to sell or otherwise make available for reading the articles in the respective city-states each paper/writer is from, but at a later date than on the site.

These news articles tie into the GM reporters you see in the cities hence why it wasnt released immedietly and the reason its not in game, the in game part is the GM's.

Although I wouldnt be adverse to having a newspaper room where you can read the latest issue

Nothing new to be honest,and little too late.They tell you about this in-game,just when you get your personal Chocobo.
But the more Lore, the better for new players to know about the world of Eorzea i guess.
