Now that January is well underway, it's time for our second screenshot event!

This time, the theme is Cooperation. Whether you battle a tough boss, fight your way through a dungeon, or complete one of the quests or trophies - any screenshot that features you and your friends working together is perfect for this event.

As with the previous event, anyone that participates will receive a Blue Camera on all their characters, and of course, the best screenshots will be posted on the 'Features' page for everyone to see.

A camera with an aluminium casing, fitted with a long strap. Wear it around your neck, so you have it ready when you need it!

* Neck
* Requires Level 26
* 4 Armor
* Agility +15
* Dexterity +15
* Stamina +17

So, what do you have to do?

Take a screenshot that goes with the Cooperation theme, or pick one from your screenshot gallery (which you can get to by clicking on your character after logging in). Once you have one or more screenshots that you think will go great with this event, post them here in this thread, by using the [screenshot] code that you find at the bottom of every screenshot page.

For example,

Code: [Select]

There are a few things to keep in mind:

Avoid having chat in the game-field that isn't relevant to the screenshot and the theme. Less is more! Any screenshot that is featured might be sized down to fit, so it would be hard to read chat.
Try not to have interface-elements such as name-tags, equipment windows or similar in important parts of the screenshot (for example, the chatbox at the bottom is okay, but a name tag in the middle would kind of take away from the screenshot. same goes for the /status box, and the cursor - if you can, try moving it out of the window). My screenshot has the status box in the top, and myself and the cursor kind of in the way, so it is not too great here.
A good idea is to screenshot "the action" - if everyone is just standing there, it's pretty hard to see what you are cooperating on. Screenshot the fight, a battle. For example, in the screenshot I posted, I'd say that it's not difficult to see what is going on, and it's easy to tell everyone apart - from the monsters attacking, to the two mages fighting.
At the same time, it might also be confusing if too much is going on at once. When everyone is clumped up in a heap, it becomes hard to see what you are doing. Getting the right balance between enough action and not too much action can be a real challenge!

This event will run until three submissions have been made, but at least until January 20, 2013. Which means, if you post your screenshot until January 20, you are fine, however after January 20, the third submission will end the event.

Any questions? Post them here as well and I'll get back to them as soon as I can. ^-^

Otherwise: Good luck once again!
