I can. I find it hilarious that a thread which initially started as a comparison between the technical approach two games use at delivering their content has turned into a sole comparison about graphics. 

Are MMO players really that shallow? Come on, guys, Runescape obviously has some good traits as it has a HUGE playerbase and Eternum obviously does because people are raving about it. AOC? Well...

I think this was due to a couple of people making ridiculous claims that Runescape has better graphics than AOC more than anything.

Okay I'll concede that... the RS fanboys do make a big deal out of its graphics.

On another note I'm surprised Eternum doesn't seem to have a big Korean fanbase.

Like I said, I'd play age of conan models in runescape world because runescape world is not instanced, large and has things to do

While runescape is technically not instanced, a vast portion of the game can only be accessed after completing certain quests/tasks, all of which require a large amount of profession grinding to complete. As it stands, Runescape's world is not very open, whereas in Eternum Online you can go whereever you want provided the mobs don't kill you.

While I am no fan of instancing, I feel this is actually WORSE than instancing. 

Take post-PoP EQ for example and the amount of unlocking required to reach each zone. Compare it to pre-PoP where the only limit to where you could travel was where you could go without being killed.

Instancing opens up content to players, key-grinding and unlocking restricts it.

I don't think RS does either, Koreans tend to like their hack n slash potion spamming games. RS is too much of a long-winded sandbox and Eternum Online is basically WoW in a browser.

 WoW is actually massive in Korea

Which bit of it? That Runescape isn't instanced or that Runescape is an open, unlocked world like Eternum Online. I'll concede that maybe RS does have some instancing (castle wars maybe) but most of the landmass is locked to begin with. For an example, just take what is required to reach Miscellania:

Type name, password in etc, click race, click class. Couldn't really be much simpler imo.

Three are no submit buttons when I view the page in IE 7.  But now the game will not load in either browswer. 

 Who uses IE for gaming?

No, I have all the standard settings.

EO is seriously fast and responsive for me in Firefox... a good decision to use pixelart graphics which dont take ages to load.

Careful there... pixelart = habbo hotel.

 I went on EO's forums, there were 47 people registered on them, with 38 posts..

I think the company who made it may be slightly misleading, they should take out the first 'M' in MMORPG
