In the southernmost areas of Stygia lies a dangerous, marshy area that contains a rare, beautiful, and dangerous flower that can be found nowhere else. No - we're not talking about the lovely lady standing in the middle of today's Age of Conan screenshot, although one could certainly argue that she's also beautiful and dangerous. We're talking about the purple lotus, favored by assassins for its poisonous properties. This picture was sent in to us by Thomas, who explains: Here's another [screenshot]: a full image in DX10 with Godrays! My character "Callypiso" is exploring the Purple Lotus Swamp. It certainly is lovely to see.
If you're one of the Funcom faithful, playing Age of Conan or Anarchy Online, we'd love to see some screenshots from you. All you have to do to contribute is to email your image to us at oneshots AT massively DOT com along with your name and a brief description. We'll post them out here for everyone to enjoy and give you the credit.

I wish someone would hurry up and make an open world game that looks as good as AoC (and isn't another WoW clone).

The new expansion that is coming out has much larger play areas where to you can view the other zones to and from (where you have been and going) . you still have to zone to each of them though.
AoC is ace.

Heh. There was another purple flower in Age of Conan that I was very amused by, can't remember where exactly. But its petals and 'folds' were decidely...*hem* adult-oriented.

Ah yes, I remember the name now. The Maiden's Kiss.
