Guest Apro Report post Posted February 8, 2006 Heya, players of Eternal Lands! I'm an adminstrator from another community - which is based around online RPG's. We have a review section, and recently a member of our community (Dager) - reviewed Eternal Lands. The review is located here. Feel free to take a peek at the review, and comment on it. Also, whenever a game is reviewed by a member of our community, infomration is placed on our Wiki, which contains help and tips on games. The page on the wiki on Eternal Lands is listed here - This page is on a wiki, so feel free to add anything useful that we haven't thought of to it. Thanks. (Sorry, mods, I wasn't sure whether this belonged in this forum, or an Off-Topic section. I figure because it specifically relates to Eternal Lands it belongs here. Sorry for any annoyances this newbie causes you) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ttlanhil Report post Posted February 8, 2006 Now, one can't point out the Eternal Lands community without showing off www.eternal-lands.net. This is a website created by fans, for fans. It's a resource book for anything game oriented, with a great sense of community about it. There's galleries, competitions, fan fiction and roleplaying. It's an actual fan site.. something many games these days seem to be lacking. Sure, it's also a utility site, but its just about having fun with the game at its core. A quick glance at eternal-lands.net and you'll know just how great the community over at Eternal Lands really is. there are real fansites... that one is actually run by a dev. it has stuff from the community, but it's not really run by themcheck out http://www.el-cel.com or http://www.elmanuals.com (rather out of date, though much is still accurate) for help sites made by players (actually, looking at the guilds list and clicking their homepages will give a lot more... many are forums, but then the guild forums hae help on EL as well). there used to also be a site at http://o.tfm.ro that also gave a lot of help, but that one has recently gone out of service Play this game.. or else!

duran Report post Posted February 9, 2006 found a small flaw in the review. both the brown and the green bar is refered to as the inventory bar. most likely a typo... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Acelon Report post Posted February 9, 2006 Noticed that too, figured it was a typo. Just in case he didn't know, green is used to determine exp till next level Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sparhawk Report post Posted February 9, 2006 Nice review. That is how i found El. Through a review. I bless whoever wrote it. It is pretty acurate and describing compared to most reviews or Mmorpg listers. If i were a nonEl player and i saw that review i would go right away to its main site and try it out(took me awhile to actually go to el, i had thought it was going to be a really babyish game but how wrong i was!). Great work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
duran Report post Posted February 9, 2006 Just in case he didn't know, green is used to determine exp till next level and dont forget that as EL is a classless game, said xp most of the time shows overall, but can be set to show any skill. just click the skill you want to display in the stats screen.

Brom Report post Posted February 9, 2006 The forums are, for lack of a better term, pure sex. They are? Ha Ha Ha! I was laughing so hard. Here I was expecting a word like "a thing of beauty" Instead he spits out, Pure Sex! Haha! I suppose that is one of the greatest things in the world, quite the complement. Though to be completely honest Ive never done that so I wouldnt know. Excellent review, good job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arnieman Report post Posted February 9, 2006 well, with all the comments about eating gnomes and people having "nice" shoes, if you were an outsider, would you assume it was something else? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Entropy Report post Posted February 10, 2006 Umm, please remove this line: "The graphics are excellent for a game developed with C++, " C++ does not dictate how good or bad the graphic is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
triforce Report post Posted February 10, 2006 Sorry, didn't really know that. Done and done. I can just forget my mistakes looking at the other one. The game is a fully 3D isometric environment. Basically, its like a 2D isometric game but you have superior control over the camera, which doesnt sound like much but it really is. LOL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
