One Shots: Let me stand next to your fire

It appears that our own Massively Mob members are chasing those crazy achievements in Guild Wars of late. the nice news is that since everyone is questing a lot, it's taking people in to gorgeous areas. As such, they're reporting back to us with fabulous screenshots from within Guild Wars! Today's awesome One Shots comes to us from Mob member Reg, who writes in to explain this fiery scene: "My quest for 30 points on the Guild Wars 2 calculator sent me in to Sorrow's Furnace to unlock the Black Moa Chick mini-pet. This was my first time there, so when I saw this view I  sorta stopped and was amazed at it all -- figured it was time for a screenshot! I did go on to beat the Iron Forgeman, unlocking the Black Moa Chick AND the Eternal Conquerer of Sorrow's Forge MoH statue AND finishing a Zaishen Bounty; 30 Points!!! Now for that Obsidian armor set."

From large to little, they love MMOs. they know you love them , or you wouldn't be here. So, while you're out adventuring, why not snap a screenshot for us? e mail those in to oneshots@massively.com along with your name, the name of the game, and a description of what we're seeing. Yours could wind up being the next one they feature here on Massively!

The Game Archaeologist and the Asheron Recall: Fond memories

I do know I say this every month, but I've really gained a whole new level of respect for Asheron's Call. It may have not been a large blockbuster, but it persevered, it built up a solid playerbase, and it helped Turbine become one of the best-known MMO development houses in the world. and, I  love the fact that the devs placed such a priority on creating an ongoing and ever-changing story, which is something that more MMOs could certainly use these days.

Has October blown by already in a rush of leaves, wind and high-fructose corn syrup candies? Are they already staring down the grim specter of November, AKA "The Middle child of Holidays"? I suppose so -- and because of that, it must mean that they are in the final week of our Asheron's Call retrospective.

So after counting down the top six highlights of the game, talking to a couple AC vets, and interviewing Turbine's Andy Cataldo, all that's left is to open the floor to the remainder of the AC crowd. they asked readers to pipe up and share their favourite experiences, and some of their best screenshots that have been lurking on the dustier parts of hard drives. Let's finish this month in style, as AC rides once more!

For plenty of, Asheron's Call was our first virtual world. Its wonder and scale were a source of awe. The world of Dereth felt infinitely expansive and at over 500 square miles of wide open, explorable landscape, it's huge compared to the instanced and segmented worlds of later MMOs.

I recall a time when a Mattekar Robe was the most prized possession, a Mote was a coveted loot drop and it took whole guilds to get that Smoldering Atlan Stone in the dreaded Jahannan Vault.

Turbine never ceases to impress. The fact that they can get out an update every single month is staggering,  to those of us behind the scenes in the gambling industry. Each month the subscription fee is well earned, and that cannot be stated of plenty of other existing MMOs today. I started in beta and I still play to this day, very  a dozen years later. The players love the game because the developers love making the game. It shows in every detail, every stunning vista, every intricate mystery and every one of those every month updates.

Asheron's Call has always had a very strong, invested community. I'm the community manager for a successful MMO by KingsIsle Entertainment, and being a component of Asheron's Call all these years, at various levels, has taught me a great deal about the delicate dynamics of MMO communities.

Asheron is still calling... I listen to it... don't you?

For those of us who laughed as the white rabbit slaughtered us, or who ran bare Aerlinthe quests, Asheron's Call will always hold a special place in our hearts. Who can forget things like the Wi Flag and the floating vase in Nanto? Who didn't rely heavily on fansites like Maggie the Jackcat, Crossroads of Dereth and Kwip? While the days of 100-player dungeon raids are gone, there's still a magic there -- an ineffable call drawing us back to familiar areas, with the knowledge that there still stay areas unseen and undiscovered by even the most veteran player.

they didn't stand a chance.

At the finish of Beta event, they were all called on to return to our home town and defend it. I returned to Rithwic as the Tumeroks and Fire Elementals attacked.

After that first wave of assaults I counted over one hundred corpses on and around the Rithwic bridge. It was utterly devastating. There was a pyramid of corpses stacked around the lifestone, with six Tumeroks killing everyone who respawned. A Fire Elemental chased somebody in to the armory, and before long the floor was so littered with corpses that one could no longer see the floor.
