One Shots: The moon looms large


When it comes to dangerous lands, we're especially appreciative when people manage to capture amazingly tranquil images of their favorite games. This great image comes with a long note from Calcic, elven archer from Perfect World, so we'll give her the lion's share of space today. Remember, you can join the fun by sending your image to us at oneshots AT massively DOT com along with your name, the name of the game, and a quick description. Be sure to read the rest of her note after the jump!

Though I know Perfect World doesn't have anywhere near the best graphics out there and the game-play has its shortcomings, sometimes the scenery will nonetheless surprise me. This one was taken on the Western bank of the Tranquility river, at between eight and ten o' clock at night.

Calcic, my winged elfish archer, was starting to get the feeling that the priestess in Plume city was just trying to get rid of him, what with all the petty extermination tasks she kept sending him out to do ("Oh, jeez, you're back already? Great, now go kill thirty more."). That's when he noticed the moon coming up over the river. There, meditating amidst the lapping of the water and the whir of night insects, he was able to momentarily forget the daunting nature of his assigned task.

The banks of the Tranquility are crawling with giant scorpions, werewolves, hideous mutant anteater beasts, and yet, every so often and at just the right time of night, it manages live up to its moniker.
