it's MUCH easier to get any items @ EL cause of insta-ress, rings 10+ speed is common there... actually devs designed EL as kinda 'training' mode and real game starts at NE
Please lets discuss there Sauron & Mt. Doom, not 'NE vs EL' holywar
I have to pitch in...
I don't view EL as a "Training mode". I view it as more of a casual class to the game. People who can't deal with the stress of losing everything after putting in dozens of hours of their valuable time into a character to die to a lag spike! Me personally? I don't have as much time to play as I used to. I can't keep putting in dozens of hours into a character every time I step on a death potion trap with frost hounds right on the other side to blow it up in my inventory and start over

On the topic, I like Sauron on on Mt.Doom, It has prevented me from taking him on early and really making sure I'm ready and up to the task. It adds more flair to the game. Instead of luckily finding him in the dungeon in Angband and deciding to just try him out and take him on. Adds more difficulty to this game that I enjoy.
I haven't taken him on yet in Mt.Doom, but my heart is racing thinking bout it! Love it.
