Playerworlds vs Xtremeworlds?

I tried searching these forums for opinions on Xtremeworlds and didn't come up with anything. Could someone explain the key differences between the two? Clearly there are avid users of both... do they each have their own strengths and weaknesses?

Never heard of these xtremeworlds

It's forked from the Mirage code-base, same as Playerworlds is: http://mmorpgmaker.org/

Some MMOs originally developed for PlayerWorlds moved over to the Xtremeworlds code base, such as Jerrath Online, moved over to Xtremeworlds over time.

It seems to be reasonably well suited to the sort of 'default' Graal gameplay, though I'm not sure if it's quite as extensible?

This has nothing to do with Graal, at all. The "playerworlds" stuff you mentioned doesn't seem to have anything to do with it either. No idea what you're thinking, but Graal is its own game; closed source and not based on anything else. "Playerworlds" is just the term for your very own world/server here on Graal.

Really now!

So Jerrath Online was never a Graal playerworld, and Graal wasn't based off of the Mirage code-base?


If so, that's amazingly confusing (two separate MMO creation systems both called 'playerworlds'), but good to know.

Well actually...there was a "Playerworlds" system, which Graal bought up. I remember because I was looking for it one time and it said something to the effect of, "Playerworlds has been bought by Cyberjours, here's the link" and that's how I got started here. It was rather neat, you did all the editing in game. You could specify each tile as ground, foreground, animated, or drawn above. Then you could tell it if you wanted the tile to block the player or to act as a "shop counter" so that you could talk to NPC's across from it.

Uhm, what?
