One Shots: Happy 5th anniversary, Ryzom!
While we work very hard to bring you tons of excellent daily MMO coverage, occasionally something will slip by that we don't catch in time. Thankfully we have some truly excellent readers who send us tips - or occasionally will drop us a screenshot from a celebration! Take, for example, this great image captured by our friend Petter Mårtensson, who writes over on Gamereactor Sweden and is a huge fan of Ryzom. Here's his note: I thought I'd share this lovely picture from the 5th anniversary event which took place in Ryzom [yesterday]. The GMs set up a race in the Zora jungles, but gave it a bit of a twist and shrunk all our Mektoub mounts. (You can see some ordinary sized mounts loitering in the background.) It felt quite silly to race through the jungle on a mount almost smaller than yourself, but it was a lot of fun. The event ended with some giant monster slaying and a party in a secret oasis which normally isn't available to players. Everyone there had a wonderful evening, celebrating the birthday of a great and very different MMO!If you know a game we don't get to look at often - or happen to catch a celebration - we'd love to see some screenshots from it. Just email them to us here at oneshots AT massively DOT com along with your name, the name of the game, and a quick blurb about what's going on. We'll post it out here and give you the love for sending it in. %Gallery-9798%
One Shots: Anniversary smackdown
Things were absolutely crazy in Paragon City and the Rogue Isles yesterday with all manner of baddies showing up in City of Heroes! Players who logged in during the event were not only treated to lots of fun, but lots and lots of strange occurrences - like monsters in zones they normally never show up in. Today's One Shots shows off one such moment of eek from City of Heroes yesterday that was sent in to us by Ryan F, who writes: In [this] image "triple jacks" you can see the first two jacks quite dead on the ground and the third fading out in the middle. That's only a small taste of what we've been fighting. Lord Recluse and all his friends have made several appearances; sometimes in double or quick succession. Pile on rampant rikti and zombie raids, and you get a whole lot of fun. Oh and some wicked experience, Prestige and Influence...but it's all about the fun.If you're playing a game we haven't highlighted here recently, we'd love to see your screenshots. It's always interesting to check in on lands we don't often see! Just snap a screen and send it to us here at oneshots AT massively DOT com along with your name and a quick description of the image. (Server info, guilds, etc are also welcome in there too -- it's up to you.) If we use your image, you get full credit for sending it along -- plus you get the bragging rights of showing everyone you game with!%Gallery-9798%
