With the recent Guild Wars 2 expansion announcement, I’m willing to bet that there’s been a minor resurgence of player interest in ArenaNet’s long-running game. And I don’t mind so much here because it’s a very pretty title that results in a lot of great pics… like this one!

“I’ve been busy of late and forgetting to check in here,” Katriana said. “Don’t have many interesting screenshots from recent gaming, but did get this shot of MJ’s character posed against a Mists gate while we were going through the last part of Janthir Wilds content.”

Minimalistway is cruising through a much different scene, revisiting one of my personal favorite MMOs that offers some hauntingly pretty locations: “Here’s the moon above the Haitian Market in London from The Secret World.”

Back to Guild Wars 2, Vincent is showing how even a desert city can boast immense design and beauty, especially if captured from the right angle. Does that game have camera drones? I wouldn’t put it past the Asura.

“I’ve been mildly (read as unrelentingly) obsessed with Mecha Break,” said Josh. “I blame the strangely deep character creator and photo mode (as well as the actually fun PvP).”

And here is a pic of my lowbie Hobbit surveying the lands of the Shire in Lord of the Rings Online before commencing her brutal and uncompromising campaign of conquest. Every last potato and mathom will be hers!

I’m going to take a nap, so you grab the controls for a while and take us in for a smooth landing. Make sure to adequately document your approach with numerous MMO screenshots and add notations to each!
