I know this is an idea that, at least for the time being, is unnecessary and runs away from the focus of what we need the game, but I am putting here for discussion, because I think in the future it would be nice to have.
I imagine a store of magazines and newspapers where we can. buy for a ridiculous amount (1 gold, for example), the Pirate Times to read in the game and also magazines with game tutorials such as basic and advanced combat, a bit of lore, many interesting things.
Maybe this would be a help for new players, or even for more experienced players who want to collect these items. Searching, many of the players I know of SoT do not even know the Pirate Times (and this forum), it would be nice to show them that our community is active and that there are many more cool things besides the game.
Maybe we could even put video-tutorials in this store, a crystal ball like the Order of Souls to watch the video? Perhaps.
Suggestions?
EDIT: Awesome similar ideas: (Thanks @Murkrage)
There is this comment on the very first Pirate Times.
Then there's this guy's idea of having it in-game.
Also this post and this one.
This one of having a physical copy on paper.
