My personal review after an hour online:
My fears with this server was that it wasn't really going to be oldschool with that huge new tibia map and all those new spells and runes. Pretty much the same thought all of you who posted before me had. I now spent quite some time online on the server testing everything and I have to admit that I was
really impressed how RPG this server really was. Even I who only play to kill other players (
) want to rpg on this server while spending some time killing former enemies now and then ofcourse!
This is pretty much an oldschool server with a few new tibia features such as graphical design and content. Now, the oldschool system was although taken over by the huge new tibia map, spells and runes and fortunately
Nottinghster has listened to his community and
removed the new spells as well as only launching the server with the regular OLDSCHOOL islands (main island->venore, thais etc etc, edron, darashia and ankrahmun). The new islands from new tibia can always be added later on when people have gotten used to the server and want to further explore new tibia in an oldschool environment. I recommended Nottinghster to add ONE island at a time with one or two months separation to slowly introduce the whole map (
except for yalahar, that's shit) We'll probably see his decision soon.
Right now I only have two worries:
Wands <- that's not oldschool, remove them please.
New runes? <- The server has enough new tibia features as it is, the main goal should be to keep the graphical design in a new tibia way, not the actuall gameplay.
However I have to admit that some runes (adori frigo for example) were great inventions. I suggest keeping some of the new runes while removing the ones that doesn't really fit in to oldschool tibia such as the FRIGO GFB, what's up with that really?
cmon you're not supposed to be able to GFB dragons
.
Thanks for showing me the server man. I'll stay updated!
