for an upcoming promotion campaign, the Illarion staff needs your support. To show potential players how Illarion looks like, screenshots are a common method. The current screenshots are fine, but The One screenshot that rules them all is not among them. Since we know you are creative people and would enjoy some more good players around, maybe you can help us out with a screenshot of the new client. Differing from the current screenshots, I set up some requirements for the perfect promotion screenshot:
- Use the latest client, no old screenshots, please
- All visible text has to be in english (the client, too!). If you want, you can create a german version, too, but no german-only version, please
- No self-named characters, no numbers, no "Somebody" or unknown characters
- Display full names (F12), names should be "stylish" (no "Bob", "Peter" and "Hannes" but "Sir Tharion", "Elthareon Linthilin", "Szerkar Zsharlem")
- Clear chat box - log out and log in again
- No OOC nowhere
- At least three characters of three different races and/or genders present - no two avatars should be of the same type
- No crowded mass scene
- No white-in-white winter scene
- Mild weather effects are OK, but not preferred
- Monsters or NPCs are optional
- Magic effects are welcome - but no "[ANC] ***********************", please
- All avatars have to be of "normal" sizes (no tiny elves and giant dwarves, please)
- The character names should appear in different colors (red, yellow, green, blue), you can achieve this by taking different object into the hands
- One character could say something remarkable, the speech bubble should "look good" (e.g. "Hail Sir Tharion, what news do you bear from the northern realms?") - all others stfu
- Perfect spelling and grammar in text
- There should be as much stuff around as possible - a building, a campfire, an item on the ground, different tiles,...
- The inventory should fit your race/gender/class. Do not put too many items into the bag and belt. No stacks of items except money, arrows, potions,... Use round numbers for stacks (e.g. 10 or 100)
- Move the mouse pointer out of the screen, no tool tip may be present
- Take the screenshot in fullscreen mode or just make a screenshot of the Illa-window (ALT-print)
- When you set up a good scene, take more than just one screenshot (e.g. 5), varying e.g. avatar position, shoot avatars while walking, one character says something,...
- No cutting or cropping of the screenshot, please! Submit it WITH inventory
- Save the screenshot as bmp; NO jpeg, please! You may present a compressed jpeg here, but save the original bmp
- If you submit screenshots here, do so as thumb (e.g. use imageshack.us)
- Eldan Monastery
- Garden of the Seahorse
- Witch hut
- Maybe Glittering cave (Tol Vanima)
- Places with NPCs
- Any workshop
- Library of TB
- Graveyard
- Dungeons
- Forests
- Inside a building
Yours,
GM Estralis
