One Shots: A stew of screens

By Krystalle Voecks

Can you believe it? Today marks our 500th One Shots column since we started the site! That's 500 images we've managed to snag from you, our awesome readers, with only a small handful from our team. Sadly, due to sizing, UI, etc. we're not always able to use every screenshot that's sent in to us. That said, I really wanted a chance to show them off, even if they're not full-sized or have too much UI, just because folks were nice enough to send them in. As such, for today we're going to wander through some of the great one-off screenshots we've gotten since we started this column, like the above World of Warcraft image from Veng, as a special salute to our readers and all their great contributions. Let's hope for 500 more awesome MMO screens to come!

Want more? Join me after the break!
These first few offerings follow a recent string of favorites: graphic glitches! We're going to jump all over the place game-wise, so hold on to your hat. First up, we have Warhammer Online, with this snip of a "zebra" mount sent in to us by Izae, who is a R40 Swordmaster.


Mmm, glitchy. Next up, we have a weird falling-through-the-world bug from Age of Conan sent in to us by Paul E. While this is a pretty common glitch in a lot of different MMOs, this is one of the few where it's possible to swim to a pool and get out from under the world. That's handy!

Sadly, there just wasn't a way to make this image sent in to us by Anthony H. any larger without getting horribly pixellated. Nonetheless, in terms of graphical glitches, no pile-of-amusing-but-not-full-size images would be complete without the inclusion of one bare-butted image from EverQuest. All you World of Warcraft people thought you were cutting edge with your naked mod? Hah!

We had naked elves in EverQuest while your designers were still on Planes raids!

Not that anyone here would know anything about naked EverQuest.

Nope.

Moving right along, this image came to us from Ganjarider, who captured a great holiday moment in Tabula Rasa. He noted: This was part of the Christmas 2008 celebrations. When you hit a thrax soldier with critical ice damage; Frosty the Evil Alien.

This one also comes from another Tabula Rasa player, Lee T., who only said "Neph Sighting" – we suspect it was in a moment of heated battle.

So there you go – a pile of screens that we had to share. As always, remember, we love to see your screens – and if they're not quite perfect, don't worry. There's always the 750 screens mark to look forward to, eh? In the meantime, feel free to add your own personal spin on the screenshot mix by sending your images to us here at oneshots AT massively DOT comalong with your name, the game its from, and a quick description.
