riverdemon Report post Posted January 1, 2005 here's my opinion: runescape is pretty developed and more and more ppl (believe it or not) are playing it. however, eternal lands how WAY better graphics and is not as annoying as runescape, where u have to click on item various times to collect them (play runescape if u don't know what i mean) overall, i like eternal lands. i wanna see ur opinions, i'm taking a little poll so vote here now!!!!

SlyEagle Report post Posted January 1, 2005 (edited) I like eternal lands graphics but in my own opinion, eternal lands will never match runescape. Runescape just has the game design down. They made a great game, and its structure is very well designed. It targets young teenagers and housewives who have the most time to play it because it does not require skill, and time flies when you have a lot of goals. Its a time waster but you feel like you are accomplishing a lot. Its interfaces are friendly and the way you play is just easy. Eternal lands could make it big, but i just don't see it. What Runescape has accomplished is very very rare. Not to say i'm rooting for runescape...I hate jagex. They used thier legal crap against me. I'd like to see EL take all of runescape members.

freeone3000 Report post Posted January 1, 2005 I choose EL. We have a community, we have better graphics, and we are open source. The last part wins for me. We can influence what goes into the game just by coding something useful and suggesting it. The community is great. It is what holds people into the game. It's like a MUD, but with graphics. The graphics are great. Runescape did pretty good for Java, but we have a language advantage here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SlyEagle Report post Posted January 1, 2005 (edited) Yes free, Eternal Lands deffinitly has the potential to top runescape. But i just think runescapes game design is better than what EL can transform into. I'd like to be proven wrong. But the (last time i checked) nearing 75k unique paying members of runescape from today and of the past is a very tough opponent for this game right now. This may change with the new interfaces being put in EL, so i've heard. We'll see. I'd like EL to have an as easy interface to use than runescapes.

chatterbug89 Report post Posted January 1, 2005 teh banned 0n3na, don't you dare turn this into a flame war, I was extremely surprised this thread is gong this well and calmly...DON'T RUIN IT <_< Anyways, I ended up playing RS before EL and I hated it int he first five minutes (i realy diden't give it a chance...). I do think fromw hat I have heard, that is has deffinate advanatages over EL (look, everyoen knows about RS...not that many people know about EL) and personally it will probaly always be more popular than EL at the rate of the EL comunity/development. Also, the P2P version of EL...I think it will be a big flop...yeah it has some cool things but with el for some reason you just get bored (I hav acutaly almost compltely stoped playing EL...I guess I would rather be learning about how things are made than acutaly playing pre-made thigns...but anyways..). Realy, it's totaly up to how much effort the developers want to put into it and they will basicly decicde wether EL will be a success or complete flop.

vartican Report post Posted January 2, 2005 ...why do people even do this? fyi there are better games out there than runescape and el Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeone3000 Report post Posted January 2, 2005 Five games better than both and their drawbacks: Conquer, KAL, Starport, The Ultimate, Threshold. Drawbacks: 1. Conquer: 27 hour download time on Broadband. 2. KAL: You kill stuff to get items in order to kill stuff. Not imaginitive. 3. Starport: Horrible controls 4. The Ultimate: Horrible controls, no interface, no community. 5. Threshold: It's a MUD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SlyEagle Report post Posted January 2, 2005 Well it's fine to compare two games with each other. This thread is perfectly appropriate for a mature community. But unfortunatly these games don't have a perfect community. And once the biggest jerk finally grows up, ten more replace him. I've only found one place where i've had no problems with the community. Believe it or not it was in a cribbage card game commmunity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alsrir Report post Posted January 3, 2005 SKA is right but here are a few things i'll throw in: There is no game that can beat each other it's impossible unless one is a exact copy of the other with something better but like always people will like the older version of the game before people don't like change never had and never will there are always pros and cons to changing things..hints the old saying "If it's not broken don't fix it" or soemthing like that. I've playied 4 mmorpgs all awesomely fun in their time but then got old so you move on much like we do in real life we suck up all the value in stuff then migrate to another place it's human nature so for the last damn time...please don't make another one of these topics >.< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
