Sir_Exeus Report post Posted October 25, 2008 Seems to me that runescape has copied a few things from EL ^^ like runescapes all new HOME TELE (#beam me up) or they latest the PVP server (teh pk server!) Anyone else notice anythin? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Entropy Report post Posted October 25, 2008 I am not sure if they copied them from EL, and it's not like EL (or any other MMO) is compeltly original. Everyone borrows from everyone in this field. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ateh Report post Posted October 25, 2008 (edited) you'd be surprised how original EL is, ive had a good hard look around at other free to play MMORPG's and can hold my hands up and say theres nothing out there like EL ........ yeh games have goblins and dragons but thats inevitable in a fantasy game plus runescape is shit ........ *edit* my wife ( ShAnGmId on EL - bless her ) played PruneScape about 5 years ago before she found EL and says -- full of pre-pubescant boys asking '' wanna be my GF ? '' every 5 minutes Edited October 25, 2008 by Ateh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Entropy Report post Posted October 25, 2008 Well, truth be told, I did play RS a little bit before playing EL (just for a month or so, in 2001). At that tie RS was a relatively decent game, although they had a lot of scammers and stuff. But they also had nice people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kalix Report post Posted October 25, 2008 (edited) Well i played runescape before playing EL and there is a lot of stuff that they have now that el haves but then again 30 other games probably have the same stuff? The reason i like EL so much better then runescape is the community. Like ent said, tons of scammers and stuff. Everyone was rude to each other. El has a much better community. #edit yeah also kids going around saying "Will you be my gf/bf? Plx i love you!!!" And people begging for free stuff Edited October 25, 2008 by time4u2die Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrfancypants Report post Posted October 25, 2008 havent they always had HOME TELE? (tele to umbridge castle) its one of the first spells to learn iirc. i never heard of the PK server there, but sounds cool. But on there... you can take your character from the "main" ones to it.... wish you could do that here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

popeye Report post Posted October 25, 2008 you can take your character from the "main" ones to it.... wish you could do that here It's $5 and a done deal ............... PS Log into the game, ATEH. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torg Report post Posted October 25, 2008 It's $5 and a done deal ............... No... that gives you a new char, you have to level it from scratch again. Afaik there are no plans for being able to transfer chars between servers and I hope it doesn't happen or the PK server would get out of control. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir_Exeus Report post Posted October 25, 2008 wel atm runescape is a game for people under the age of 10. you cant give out free st00f worth over aobut 6k or so (WHich I figured 1k in EL is about 43k in rs :S ) , when u die som1 can re-pair ur grave so forget about hurying back. pk is out exept for pk server exept when u pk som1 you dont get their items. they lose a draggy scimy and u get a piece of crap item that is worth 1/2 or 1/4 the ammount. everything has a price on it (meaning the the game price checks items aka no economy @ all) . you cant scam items. (ok u can scam 6k but dats all) and worst of all u cant even say anything to express ur frusteration my knoledgw of rs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vanyel Report post Posted October 25, 2008 Commands similar to #beam me are in quite many games. So goes for pvp servers. Honestly, some people can't live without at least one conspiracy theory they could whisper in dark alleys at midnight about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robotbob Report post Posted October 25, 2008 There is a difference between the free spell "tele to lumbridge" and 'home tele' home tele is for player made homes on p2p. But yeah I assume all games take from the same thought pool on RPG ideas, there are only so many. And yes I have a cb 85 character there , it is very geared toward 10-15 yr old people. But if you ignore local messages, its an ok way to kill time if you only have a browser availiable. So old people can muck around with it. Its either that or Pop-IT :/ I log in once a month to ensure my account doesn't get deleted, but I think I logged in a total of 1 hour for an entire year. And no I don't "wanna be ur hawt gf" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cdmrnaruto Report post Posted October 25, 2008 Played that game before. Lasted for half a year before i decided it was a horrible game. I take it as an insult that EL is a Runescape clone (or at least claim the people on www.mmorpg.com) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Entropy Report post Posted October 25, 2008 why dont you play anymore, would love to be able to say "ï pk'ed Radu" :> When I play the game, I play it undercover, so you wouldn't be able to say that you PKed Radu But right now I am really busy with some coming features and some nasty optimizations.

Maryn Report post Posted October 26, 2008 I used to be an old time Runescape player. I started in about 2001 then left the game for extended periods of time. I think it's pretty different from EL though, it's so much easier to play and get rich IMO and that's not necessarily a good thing. Everyone walks around in full rune (I never played on a p2p server xD) and I don't see that happening anytime soon here with dragon armours. Yes, you have tele and a pk server but RS is just... Crowded. And spammy. The setting's so different and... Y'know? Trust me, there is nothing more awkward than being a girl irl, having a male char in RS and having this happen to you... Girl: Hey sexi. Wanna b mi bf? Me: I'm a girl. Girl: Take off helm. I took myself off pretty quickly after that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piojosnos Report post Posted October 26, 2008 I played runscape once and lasted only 15 minutes and then dropped it... May be it was because I was already playing EL, and it just rocks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Airakose Report post Posted October 26, 2008 Eh, I played RS before EL... EL is MUCH better... But the community isn't so bad. I tried out one of the PvP servers today Every fight I got in, we had kind conversations, and said "Good Fight" after each. I had a few problems with the community still, though. I went through a cave to sneak into a guarded city, some guy was stalking me saying, "This is my cave!" And at lumbridge, it was spam galore! They were advertising all kinds of things, and had so many bot-characters... I couldn't help but wonder where the moderators were... Their moderation sucks ^^' IMO, if EL were to steal some ideas from RS (Which it hasn't directly), it could by far surpass it.. But nonetheless EL is MUCH better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anima Report post Posted October 27, 2008 i expect loads of games have stuff similar to EL, some did it before some after. RS would have to change a lot to even be playable for me, i thought it was terrible, as much as people complain about radu and some of the stuff he changes and implements, i see RS and think we can't really be that badly off after all.
