Contest Summary

On October 10, after maintenance, a full moon will appear in the towns of Giran and Rune. Players will be able to click on the moon to receive a Vitality Maintaining Rune that will last for 14 days or until the rune is removed during maintenance on October 24. But wait, the fun doesn't end here! Use your creative and in-game photography skills to take your best screenshot of the moon. Submit your photo in our Discord #moon-contest channel, and the top 3 photos submitted will all win the items below! The photos will be judged by our GMs and winners will be released on Wednesday, October 25th. Throughout the event duration, our GM's will also be hanging out near the moon to meet players and chat, including our new Community Manager, Rownen! Come say hi and hang out under the moonlight!

*No expiration dates for any of the items except the Outfit Appearance Stone Exchange Ticket, which expiration date will be announced at a later date.

*Rewards will only be distributed to the top 3 screen shots.

Photography Tips

• Remove all the game interface by pressing alt+h to unclutter the frame
• You can also remove your name or players names if you wish by going to the game's Options/Screen/Display and uncheck the boxes you wish to remove, including Player and Clan names.
• To take a screenshot using the in game tool, the default button is Print Screen on your keyboard. After, pictures will save in: C:\Program Files (x86)\NCSOFT\Lineage2\Screenshot. It is also possible that your default directory may be: C:\Program Files\NCSOFT\Lineage2\Screenshot
• Go to your game options to remove other character names from the screen, unless you specifically want to see names in your photo
• Use creative composition with the moon! Be creative! Use it any way you'd like. The only rule is that the moon must be in the frame somewhere.
• Items, toons, other players, weapons, and more can all be used to add creativity to your photo. Again, the only rule is that the moon must be in the frame.
• Be creative with your camera angles.
• Try raising your graphics to high to enhance the photo
• If you like a blurry background or depth of field, you can navigate to Video/Advanced Settings/_Show Detailed Settings and click on "Use Out Focusing Effects".

Good luck players and we can't wait to see what you all come up with!
