The irony of going on lengthy adventures to exotic settings in MMOs is that your character usually doesn’t bring a smartphone to take pictures of these discoveries. So did they actually happen? Or is the player him or herself a floating phone documenting the trip?
As you ponder that, take in Greaterdivinity’s stellar shot: “Getting the latest legendary starter kit in Guild Wars 2’s Wizards Vault gives you access to the Mists Vault, and an NPC inside gives you a key letting you return at any point. I wish we could move our homestead here, as this place is radical.”
Stepping back one game in the franchise, Ocho took this picture of a Guild Wars 1 desert sand worm and lived to share the tale. I wonder what it eats when it can’t snag a player. Delivery?
“This week, cats are out and bunnies are in!” declares Vincent, striking a pose in Final Fantasy XIV that seems to have confused and befuddled this little hare. Maybe it’s thinking that the gunblade looks a little like a metal carrot and should be tasted.
A few weeks ago, Zulika Mi-Nam was on hand in Throne and Liberty to document the chaos of a popular launch. This is what happens when your fantasy towns don’t have traffic lights!
And finally, here’s a nighttime desert picture that I wanted to bring to you from Lord of the Rings Online’s newest expansion. I am so far from the Shire right now — and I just remembered that I left the stove on.
