Quited with Tibia/OT
Tomorrow morning this summer's test server will go online. During the first days, is only opened to all gamemasters and senators, fansite admins as well as to all senior tutors. Next Monday (22th) all tutors that were on the team since 15th June or earlier may join the test server. Below you can find all info about the test server, posted by Cantinelle on the official site.
Now first of all, I'd like to announce that I'll personally pick out 1-5 testers who submitted extraordinary bugreports over the testing phase. That could either mean constant great quality during the whole testing phase which makes it easy for us to find and fix important bugs, or could also mean finding an extremely abusable and critical error (though I hope there aren't any...). Those testers will be awarded a special "golden bug" trophy on the real server that is not available through any other means than by submitting great bugreports.
It is very important that you test as much and as thoroughly as you can. Please read the following instructions on how to join the test server and the testing agenda carefully. Report all bugs you find with ctrl + z in-game. Typical bugs include:
- Graphical errors (e.g. broken graphics, blue pixels, wrong automap colors)
- Map errors (e.g. broken ground textures, broken wall parts)
- Feature errors (e.g. spell doesn't work like it is supposed to)
- Object errors (e.g. a takeable tree, walkable stone)
- NPC errors (e.g. something is bought for more money than it is sold)
- Text errors (e.g. typos, misspellings, non-suitable name for an object)
- Quest errors (e.g. dead ends in the quest line)
In cases of client crashes ("Tibia Error - Debug Assertion" ) please click "Send" in the "Error Report" dialog which appears when you start the client the next time after the crash happened. If possible please enter a comment in the appropriate field before clicking "Send" because any hint on what you did right before the crash will greatly help in fixing the reason for the crash.
Akananto and me have created threads which you can use to read the latest information about known and fixed bugs, give your feedback about the new features and post if you have problems with the Client. (Links will be inserted here when everything is ready). Please note that you can't create new threads by yourselves to avoid spam. However, we will supply a few threads for questions, discussions etc.
There are Testserver Assistants in each town who will hand out money. Simply ask them for money or gold and you will receive 100k pocket money each time.
2. New Areas and revised Areas
Apart from Carlin, there are actually many other new or revised areas, either as stage for new quests or simply revamped. Here's a list of the major changes. Those that were added for quests only are NOT mentioned here - you will come across them automatically once you do the according quests (and probably only then).
a) Cities:
Ab'Dendriel: revised Shadow Towers
Ankhramun Tombs and many other underground buildings: added earth around the outer side of all walls
Beregar: expanded city and caverns
Carlin: revised all player houses/guildhouses and NPC houses including Carlin castle
Edron: revised all houses inside the city walls, plus Stonehome
Thais: revised all houses inside the city walls, plus Greenshore, Fibula and most guildhouses; added trophy exhibition under the Knights' Arena to display reward items obtained only through events
General: it should be impossible now to throw garbage on balconies of player houses from the outside!
b) Dungeons:
Added Water Elemental Dungeon under Tiquanda
Added new mid-/highlevel dungeon on Liberty Bay mountain
Added Dragon lair north of Darashia
Added Beholder/Gozzler dungeon near Beregar
Added Medusa/Serpent Spawn Dungeon on the Forbidden Islands
Revised Tarantula Caves underground connections under Tiquanda
Revised Treasure Island Dungeon and added monsters
Changed position of Plague Bearer caves in Yalahar Questline to smoothen the difficulty curve
Revised Laguna Island dungeons
Revised Demona
c) Other:
Meluna: added honeymoon island west of Fibula (reachable by boat from Fibula until one day after the wedding)
General: many very small or thin items are now ignored if you look at them. That means, a grass patch with a tiny stone in one corner of it will now be displayed as "you see grass" instead of "you see a stone" because of the gazillions of bug reports dealing with this tragical problem over the past years
Please note that these revisions are mostly only graphical or structural changes. Changes in monster spawns or monsters in general will be mentioned further below.
3. NPCs
Please have a conversation with the following NPCs. Depending on their function, check if e.g. buying/selling single and multiple items or exchanging money works as it should.

4. Monsters
a) New Monsters:
Of course, there are more monsters than the Medusa to enter the Tibian world during this update. All in all there are 17 new bosses, 20 new monsters which you can only encounter during events and 13 new monsters which will make your quest trips a lot harder. Since graphics time was short this update and they don't have new and unique sprites they weren't mentioned in the monster teaser. However you'll surely meet a few surprises if you solve all quests and take part in events!

Changes in Raids:

Altered location of Demodras Raid - appears in different alternative areas now
5. New Quests and Tasks
There are a LOT of new quests and you might not be able to solve all of them during the test server time. So maybe focus on two or three and test them really thoroughly instead of trying to rush through everything! Here are some hints for quest starters:
* Find the house of the sorcerer Eclesius south of Thais and become his assistant (should only work if you're under level 20). You can then solve 5 different daily tasks and also follow a questline of six missions. Keep in mind that he's confused and forgetful!
* Find Telas in Stonehome and ask him for a mission to trigger a questline, in which you will find out more about the mysterious golems that roam Yalahar.
* Talk to Emperor Rehal in Beregar if you solved the quest "Justice for All" and ask him for a new mission to be sent on an expedition to find his lost son.
* Look out for suspicious pirate raids in Liberty Bay and maybe find an item you haven't seen before...
* Talk to Budrik in the mines of Kazordoon about a mission if you solved "To Outfox a Fox" before.
* Find Grizzly Adams south of the river east of Port Hope and ask him to join his guild "Paw and Fur Elite"
* Find the dwarf Rapanaio in Kazordoon and try to find out if there's really something behind the strange stories he's telling you...
* Talk to any city guide if you're still under Level 25 and have him or her send you on a quest called the "Pilgrimage of Ashes" to get all blessings for a reduced price! Note that if you become higher than level 25 at any time during the quest (except if you've already been at Eremo), you can't finish the quest anymore. However, the guide will offer you to remove it from your questlog then.
* Talk to Lugri (over level 50)
* Daniel Steelsoul (under level 60)
* Ray Striker (if you've finished the Shattered Island quest)
* Both Djinn leaders (depending on which side you are)
6. Marriage
If you've already been "married" in Tibia, you might still remember how the marriage ceremony worked at Lynda in Thais. The new marriage function builds on that basis, but has "real" consequences now, so think first and marry then
You can choose among three possible places for your wedding: The church in Thais (as before), a dwarven chapel in Kazordoon (north of the temple) and on the flower hill in Ab'Dendriel (north-east of the town). Before you can marry, buy a wedding outfit (at Norbert in Venore) and a wedding ring, else the ceremony can't begin. The ceremony should hopefully be rather easy to follow and there are several possibilities to finish it successfully. At the end of your wedding, both of you will receive engraved wedding rings with your names and date on them and have the right to travel to Meluna (via Ferryman Kamil on Fibula) on the same day of your wedding. A divorce can be carried out either at Lugri north of Thais or at Brewster in Port Hope and should hopefully also be easy to do. Please check especially for the following things:
It should not be possible to get married without having handed over the required items
It should not be possible to get married if you OR the other person are already married to someone
It should, however, be possible to get married again after a divorce, no matter who divorced whom
It's only possible to get married to someone who is online at the same time (but not necessarily standing beside you)
It's possible to get divorced from someone who is NOT online (and only the rings YOU carry are broken during the divorce)
Marrying someone of the same sex is possible, but you cannot marry yourself
It's not possible for someone to marry you without your agreement (no interruptions of newbie chars possible)
The whole ceremony should be visible to the audience in default channel
The whole island of Meluna is PZ without regeneration. You can stay for longer than a day after your wedding as long as you don't leave the island, but can't travel back once you've left it until you marry again
Upon a divorce, both characters should lose the right to wear the wedding outfit
If a married character is rooked, the marital status will remain
I think that's about it! Have fun
7. New Events and Items
There are two new events - one for August and one for November. Usually we would not spoil them, but since both of them are rather large and require functional testing, we decided to let you try them out.
The Cooking Event takes place in a previous inaccessible place close to the fortress of the Marid. NPC Jean Pierre is a chef and will happily introduce you to the secrets of his recipes. Once you've done his questline for the first time and cooked all 10 meals, you can recreate each dish ONCE per year.
The Lightbearer Event is a huge spectacle that requires many people on the server to actually work together over a longer time span. The basic idea is to keep 10 lights burning for 5 days by regularily using magical torches on them (each two hours). You can only use your torch once on each light basin. If only one light goes out, the event is lost and strong demonic creatures and annoying essences of darkness will enter Tibia for half a day. However, if you actually manage to keep the lights burning... well, I won't tell you what will happen then, but something good The event on the test server will start on 21th June at Lucius in the magician quarter of Yalahar - but nothing serious will happen until the 22th of June after server save. I know you have to work and study and all, but who knows, maybe you can do it! If not, see it as practice for the real server
Concerning new items: there are also many new additions that I won't spoil here, as usual. You should be able to obtain most of the new items during your tests. Those of you who have done the Explorer Society quests should be able to buy valuable crown backpacks as reward from either Angus or Mortimer. If you have finished one of the secret service questlines - and always wondered what the heck is in that parcel - you can now open it to receive a special gadget. Please try it out on everything you might think of!
8. Adjusted Protection Zones
We decided to make a few spots in Tibia safer, especially those that were predestined for assaults because people usually walk there with a lot of money in their pockets. Here's what has been changed:
Thais: PZ added to throneroom and upper castle tower
Kazordoon: PZ added to throneroom
Carlin: PZ added to castle
Edron: PZ on groundfloor above depot added (including bank and post office)
Ab'Dendriel: PZ added in Post office; added new bank counter at the depot
Ankrahmun: PZ added to shop pyramid and promotion room
Darashia: PZ added to the Caliph's palace
Port Hope: PZ added to shops building
Svargrond: United bank and post into a big room, added PZ
Venore: PZ added to small depot in the north-east (including bank and post office)
Yalahar: PZ added to bank/ post office building
You can test all protection zones by using the new "protection zone icon" shown in the client (the white pigeon on a blue circle). Thus you should finally know whether you're standing in a PZ or not. There is also a new icon (red crossed swords) to symbolise whether you may not enter a PZ (a harsher variant of the simple logout block - white crossed swords). Please check out whether they work as they should!
Now first of all, I'd like to announce that I'll personally pick out 1-5 testers who submitted extraordinary bugreports over the testing phase. That could either mean constant great quality during the whole testing phase which makes it easy for us to find and fix important bugs, or could also mean finding an extremely abusable and critical error (though I hope there aren't any...).

You can test all protection zones by using the new "protection zone icon" shown in the client (the white pigeon on a blue circle). Thus you should finally know whether you're standing in a PZ or not. There is also a new icon (red crossed swords) to symbolise whether you may not enter a PZ (a harsher variant of the simple logout block - white crossed swords). Please check out whether they work as they should!

@up, they added a new byte to say if ignore on look (I think it's what it does).
"General: many very small or thin items are now ignored if you look at them. That means, a grass patch with a tiny stone in one corner of it will now be displayed as "you see grass" instead of "you see a stone" because of the gazillions of bug reports dealing with this tragical problem over the past years"
