To play: type 'eternal-lands' in the terminal or go to 'Menu->Fun'So why play Eternal Lands, when there are so many free MMORPGs out there? Well, there are many reasons why, but here are a few:
* Friendly community. Most of the people here are friendly, and they will try to help you if they can.
* There are 12 skills in the game: Attack, Defense, Harvest, Alchemy, Magic, Potion, Summoning, Manufacturing, Crafting, Engineering, Tailoring and Ranging.
* There are no fixed class restrictions, so you can develop your character in any way you wish.
* There are many quests, ranging from "Kill 10 rats" to "Kill 20 rats". Oh, and we also have quests where you must look for clues, carefully read NPC stories, and use your brain.
* Speaking of quests, we have daily quests as well, mostly with multiple objectives that are level adjusted. So you won't get bored too soon.
* Eternal Lands is not just about combat. In fact, many players barely touch the combat part and, instead, focus on more peaceful activities such as collecting resources, creating items, summoning monsters and so on. But if you like combat, there is plenty of it as well, both PvP and PvE.
* The game client is relatively small, the download being only 50MB. That's under a minute on a cable modem, and a few minutes on a DSL connection.
* Eternal Lands is a multiplatform game, running on Windows, Linux and OSX (Mac). The client is open source.
* Some free MMORPGS have hidden costs. While we do sell items and services for $$$, most players do not buy anything, and there are quite a few top level players who never purchased anything from our store.
To change settings: Edit /usr/local/el/el.ini or use the in-game menu
NOTE: By default, I have set the graphics to low quality, for greater speed.
Enabling shadows will greatly slow down performance on many PCs.
