(you still need to download the sound package separately)
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 play: type 'eternal-lands' in the terminal or go to 'Menu->Fun'

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.

Good Job, keep em comin sc0ttman, I installed the game and got it working and everything but how do I setup the sound configuration file?
I can't get the sound working at all.

Error:
I/O warning: failed to load external entity "sound/sound_config.xml"

Any ideas?

Sound or not, i'm officially addicted. This is one awesome rpg.

Edit: apparently you have to download the sound package and music separately from the website...

Hello, I download the SFS but it's not compatible with the LuPu5xx series.
So, I have to convert it to the new version, no error in that, and didn't work. I'm running a frugal installation from mnt/home/puppy501 (just in case of a "wrong dir" error).
sc0ttman, you wrote:

I don't see anything new in "Fun" category...
¿What should I do? ¿Somebody know?

Editd: This is old, i made it work...

Hello People,

I seem to have a similar problem as GustavoYz did. I'm running puppy linux 5.2.5 on a frugal install, i converted the .sfs put it in the boot manager and rebooted. The command eternal-lands is accepted and it does indeed appear in the menu/fun section, however on clicking/executing nothing happens.

Any idea what i could try? I'm new to puppy (and so far it's just great).

Greetings,

Paul.

I loaded it up OK.. I didn't actually log in and test it, could not remember my account settings...
But it should work OK without any problems...

I updated the default settings, if you got an old video card, you'll thank me.. if not, you might want to re-enable some of the fancier graphics! I also removed the non-English locales, as I guess most people play the game in English anyway... Saved about 13mb :)

As ever, the sounds still need to be downloaded separately... I had my own music playing the background when I played.. ;)
