The peaceful snow falls over a lake that has managed to evade freezing over with a thick crust of ice. This absolutely gorgeous One Shots comes to us from Peanuut of Runners of Pie (gets my vote for awesome fellowship name) on the Nimrodel server in Lord of the Rings Online. Peanuut wrote in: I thought I would share this photo of the lovely Forochel. Very appropriate for the holiday season if I say so myself. Definitely, Peanuut! As a matter of fact this was such a large-sized and gorgeous shot that I'm making the full-size screenshot available in case readers would like to snag it for wallpaper.

With so many events starting up, do you have a holiday screenshot you can share with us? Whatever MMO you love to play, send those screenshots to us here at oneshots AT massively DOT com along with your name and the name of the game. Server, guild, and holiday greetings welcome, but not required! We'll post it out here and share the love. (Remember, 1024px across or larger with no UI on if at all possible please!)

A wonderful screen which really shows one of lotro's many qualities: unrivalled visuals. (AoC is instanced so it doesn't count :p) I wish the screenshot was taken at night though, so we could see Forochel's northern lights in all their glory. Truly one of my MMO jaw-dropping experiences. Hmmm maybe I'll send one in.

Are you serious? Have you seen the trees and foliage in AOC? They're 2-D. Its like trees from DOOM way back in 1993 haha. You move and they don't change perspective.

LOTRO, now that's some trees and foliage.

When I was playing LOTRO actively...i had dozens and dozens of random pictures from the game. It was breathtaking in its beauty sometimes.

The link for the full-size shot is empty. Could you relink it?

Hrm. For some reason it absolutely will not connect the link from our servers, despite the file being there. I'll put it on my personal server so you can (right-click-save-as) snag it from there as a temporary measure until we can get our techs to figure out why it isn't working properly.

Best I can really offer, I'm afraid. Been poking at it all morning, but I can't figure out where the break is between the two.

I'm amazed at how little recognition LOTRO receives for its visuals. It's a beautiful-looking game. I love the leafy lanes of the Trollshaws or the incredible view of Rivendell. And Evendim still impresses me to this day.
