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.
    If you can't join a group, feel free to take solo screenshots in your game of choice.
    To send the image for this page, do it by way of sending to Varda's email (and let her know your guild-name for credit!): NOSPAMvarda.elentari (AT) g mail (dot) com.

Diablo Anniversary screenshots:


EVE Online Anniversary screenshots:


Lord of the Rings Online Anniversary screenshots:

    Oct 4 at noon and at 5 P.M. Eastern time to give everyone a chance to come. If you still can't come at those times, come when you can, do the same thing, and take screenshots for this page, and maybe coordinate with friends in-game or in Discord.
    The plan:
        Ride into the four main towns and shoot fireworks, /shout Happy 26th Anniversary, Valar Guild!  We may also dance, hand out pipeweed, drinks, food. Take screenshots for you and for this page.
