One Shots: High above me

First impressions are important in an MMO, and if you're a graphics fan, the look of the world can make a big impression right away. This week in One Shots we're all about your first impressions of MMOs: the starting zones. Today, Philip takes to the skies in this image from the starting area of TERA:

After taking a quick glance back at the humble camp zone located within the ruins below an unusual tree resembling a Cherry Blossom, I couldn't but help appreciate the last of the beautiful scenery that the Island of Dawn has to offer. I talked to the cat-like fellow to hitch a ride on a Pegasus. The cat summoned the mythical beast, I jumped on, and it took off heading toward the city of Veilka.

As I rode through the sky, I had already thought the Island of Dawn was beautiful. But the panoramic scene -- hanging waterfalls from the sky, mystical cherry blossom trees, thick yet lush forests, and the island's natural inhabitants -- simply made my jaw drop. The scene was indescribably amazing, and this picture does absolutely no justice to the Island of Dawn at all.

We're enjoying starting zone week, but we're also looking forward to next week. We'll be focusing on the sci-fi genre, so it's time to show off your favorite sci-fi game! Send your best screenshot to us here at oneshots@massively.com along with your name, the name of the game, and a description of what we're seeing. We'll post it out here for everyone to enjoy and give you the thanks!
