One of the things many people have remarked on Warhammer Online's launch is the look of water in the game. Perhaps it may seem a small, immaterial thing to some, but creating good-looking water in video games requires a fair amount of work to achieve. Today's One Shots was sent in to us by Skurmish of Karak-Eight-Peaks, who captured this great image while looking out to sea. He notes that it was "just a quick screenie taken on the shores of Nordenwatch. I thought it was a striking shot." It most certainly is, Skurmish.
If you're fond of the look of your world, why not show off what you think is awesome about it? We accept screenshots from all MMOs - from small indie studios to huge companies. Just email your screenshot to us at oneshots AT massively DOT com along with your name, the game and location it comes from. We'll do the rest.

If we are talking about Warhammer Online, that ship sailed some time ago...

Jess is right. I love the game, but it's "water" is onpar w/ older games at best. AoC by far blows anything away WAR can do visually.

That's a great pic, and I think the actual imagery is much more important than the water. WAR's water is nothing special to be honest. It just looks good because the rest of the game's graphics are so poor. AoC and LOTRO's water is equally, if not much more impressive, along with the rest of their visuals.
I realize WAR had to make some hits to graphics in order to have smooth RvR and a WoW-like apeal, which is fine. But they automatically lose any visual bragging rights, that's for sure.

Personally I think that type of water has always looked like some type of oil spill.
