Gaming Screenshots of Anniversary
Events:
How do I take a screenshot?
In LotRO, F12 removes
quickslots
etc
from the display. N toggles names on and off. F11 makes a screenshot
that goes into your computer's
Documents folder under Lord of the Rings Online.
In WoW, use your keyboard's version
of
PrintScreen (PrntScrn on the top row on mine) to make the
screenshot.
The image goes into the game's folder under Screenshots.

She
plans to make another one instead that she likes better.] Music in
LotRO. Video by Miriel-(V).
The musicians are Miriel, Irmo, and double-account Hurin.
(Check out the one after it too, with the Valarites of DAOC as the
Wolves of Valinor.) #
First LotRO run at noon went off!
Thank you for the fun. The celebrants were Arien, Dis, Fangorn,
Irmo,
Miriel, Nerdanel, and Varda. We started at West Bree, moving on to
Michel Delving, Thorin's Hall, and Rivendell. Screenshots are below.
Many screenshots were taken by the group and some have been shown
here. Thank you also for the solo pics that are also shown
below.
Contributors so far are Arien 11, Fangorn 9, Nerdanel 7, and Varda
16.
[Miriel and Lenwe also took screenies and said they will be sending
them in.]
This is a work in progress. :) Please enjoy it anyway.
The 5 pm run still had the
same
people from noon, so we grouped up and ran Mordor quests and epics
and
deeds for hours. More folks came later, some grouping with the
Mordor
long run sometimes replacing some that had to leave, and some as
High
Elves.
