EVE Online's Alliance Tournament XI is coming up this summer, and prospective combatants can now check out the full list of official rules as well as format details. Changes from past tournaments include the elimination of pre-qualifying and group stages, an entry fee of just 5 PLEX, the addition of a practice server, and a new tie-breaking system.

The tournament will pit 64 alliance teams against each other in a single stage that involves double-elimination brackets and random initial seeding.

One Shots: This is the way the world ends

As of this morning, adventurers in World of Warcraft find the landscape has changed. Things we knew of and loved are changed irrevocably, and the land trembles at the oncoming nightmare soon to be revealed as Deathwing roams the land in Cataclysm. Last night, the world turned dark, and Massively reader Format was there to capture this image outside of Orgrimmar. He writes in to explain the dark scene: "Bon voyage World of Warcraft! Come tomorrow you will be very different-looking. This picture was taken after the elementals started attacking Orgrimmar. The sky was blue but turned red, and all of a sudden, ash started to fall. This screenshot was taken outside the walls. It's just crazy to look at because this is the last night to see this until the big change comes tomorrow. It was nice knowing you WoW 1.0 -- and it's nice to meet you WoW 2.0."

One Shots: These pets are a scream

It's been a few weeks since the launch of Aion's most recent addition, Assault on Balaurea, which has brought smiles to many a Daeva's face -- although it may not be the "shiny new things to do" happiness you quite expected. Indeed, as Format shows us in today's One Shots, something else snuck in on this last expansion -- something adorably horrible. Here's Format's note: "So the new free expansion launched [a little while] ago, and this was [taken on] my second day into it. There I am running around Verteron when I see the new 'pets' from the 'pet system.' What followed had me laughing out loud, in real life mind you. I don't think I even need to explain. Recognize the mask? Halloween has come early this year! Props to the devs for this, and for making me laugh."

MMOs big or small -- we want screenshots of them all! Email yours to us here at oneshots@massively.com along with your name, the name of the game, and a quick description. We'll post them out here and give you the love for sending them in.

One Shots: Switching sides

In Aion, players are getting ready for the upcoming Assault on Balaurea expansion, slated to hit the servers on September 7th. While some are planning to head for the public test realms in upcoming days, others are choosing to reroll their characters and get to leveling before the new content lands. Today, we have a great One Shots and note from Format, who has recently returned to Aion, and writes in:

"[There's] nothing symbolic to what this picture shows to some people, but to me it shows a lot. I just resubbed and this time I am trying out the Elyos. This is the starter area outside of Akarios Village. Even though this game, claimed by others, has a 'low rez polygon count,' I still find it to be beautiful. This is my, for now, level 6 scout named Format. The road ahead of me looks simple and it seems that there is nothing too special about it, but just around the corner there is a whole new world of discovery. What lies ahead for this character of mine? Time will only tell, but I am eager to find out. To me, a simple picture shows a lot more than others perceive."

Do you have a game that you love, no matter what others might say? Feel like telling us why you think it's awesome? Send your screenshot and tale to us here at oneshots@massively.com along with your name, the name of the game, and a description of what we're seeing. You never know -- yours could be the next one featured here on Massively!
