Basically, we need screenshots for advertisement.

I'm not saying we will necessarily use what screenshots you guys come up with on this post, but it's worth a shot, maybe you can come up with very cool things.

The formats can be anything you want them to, from full shots complete with windows and bags, just the playing screen and whatever goes on in it, or a mix of the two, or whatever makes sense. Try it out, we'll see what looks best.

I think the main emphasis should be on making the shard look COOL.

So you can just go on and make up elaborate phrases to say, stage a RP situation and make your chars look cool, you can show off PvP or PvM action, whatever you think will look cooler. This is mainly for advertising on forums that are for general RP, so people prolly don't know UO, so stressing on our custom content is probably beyond the point.

Just make it look dynamic and cool. Have the RP and atmosphere radiate through.

Good shots might get rewarded, depending on how fitting they are.

No nudity, low profanity. Though I think a gritty atmosphere should still be involved.

Well, let's see, take a shot.

At the funeral of King Gabriel, Wesley promises justice.








Wesley questions Knight Meric on the King's funeral arrangements.







Wesley working on being thrown out of every building in Vhaluran as he gives the acting Regent a letter warning of the Queen and King's impending assassination... a month late.

It should be more along the lines of this... It should look good, not just a collection of journal shots.

It might also be a good idea not to advertise things that are unavailable. There's a lot of custom graphics that players can't get, don't want to start players off on a disappointment.

If players make the screenshots, the things on them can't be unavailable.

I feel I need to point this out here -

The main idea is that you "fake" screenshots with made up scenarios. Much better chance at getting something really cool. But of course you should abide to the shard's lore and general feel.
