Eternal-Lands
Eternal Lands is a free 3D fantasy MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role playing game) that can be played on Windows, Android, Linux and OSX.
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.
You, as a player, determine exactly how you develop your character. If you make mistakes, or decide to change or adjust your build, you can do so. Eternal Lands is not just about combat. Many players 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.
Eternal Lands is owned and run by Radu Privantu. This package is built and maintained by one of the client developers known in game as bluap.

Usage
Eternal-Lands is available as an AppImage which means "one app = one file", which you can download and run on your Linux system while you don't need a package manager and nothing gets changed in your system. Awesome!
AppImages are single-file applications that run on most Linux distributions. Download an application, make it executable, and run! No need to install. No system libraries or system preferences are altered. Most AppImages run on recent versions of Arch Linux, CentOS, Debian, Fedora, openSUSE, Red Hat, Ubuntu, and other common desktop distributions.
Running Eternal-Lands on Linux without installation
Unlike other applications, AppImages do not need to be installed before they can be used. However, they need to be marked as executable before they can be run. This is a Linux security feature.Behold! AppImages are usually not verified by others. Follow these instructions only if you trust the developer of the software. Use at your own risk!
Download the Eternal-Lands AppImage and make it executable using your file manager or by entering the following commands in a terminal:
chmod +x ./*.AppImageThen double-click the AppImage in the file manager to open it.
Sandboxing Eternal-Lands
If you want to restrict what Eternal-Lands can do on your system, you can run the AppImage in a sandbox like Firejail. This is entirely optional and currently needs to be configured by the user.
Updating Eternal-Lands
If you would like to update to a new version, simply download the new Eternal-Lands AppImage.
The Eternal-Lands AppImage also can be updated using AppImageUpdate. Using this tool, Eternal-Lands can be updated by downloading only the portions of the AppImage that have actually changed since the last version.
Integrating AppImages into the system
If you would like to have the executable bit set automatically, and would like to see Eternal-Lands and other AppImages integrated into the system (menus, icons, file type associations, etc.), then you may want to check the optional appimaged daemon.
Note for application authors
Thanks for distributing Eternal-Lands in the AppImage format for all common Linux distributions. Great! Here are some ideas on how to make it even better.
