Hello Otlanders!
I am Kazelot, the lead founder and developer of otservers. I have been associated with open tibia servers and Tibia itself for a very long time. One day, at my friend Rafał (I greet you, because you will definitely read this), I had an idea to set up my own server list. A long time has passed since then, there have been many versions and concepts, and eventually we ended up with far-reaching plans to create a new, extensive platform. However, I cannot provide any details at the moment.
The otservers project is not finished yet. There was also no plan to release the server list as it is now. It seems our close support Dedefere was looking forward to and prematurely published our app.
Sorry for not posting an official announcement or any details, but we are surprised (positively) to see the otservers posted by Dedefere.
However, in order not to leave you with anything, I will answer all comments and questions. Please note that this is not the final version and most of the features you mentioned here are already added in the development version or there are plans for the future (before the official launch).
Navigating through the lists 1,2,3,4 .... is somewhat uncomfortable, since the page does not fit correctly, but in general the whole site looks wonderful
Honestly, it pissed me off too - it had already been turned into standard pagination.
Aimed to milk community or to help community?
Site looks good. I like it, modern, has some nice features and it has dark mode.
Is it possible to harm the community more than the most popular (yet) server list? I have very friendly intentions.
I hope it is not for milking, although surely the developers of the site will want a pizza at the end of the day
I hope we will all help ourselves to this slice of pizza!
Adding servers and editing information:
The same server cannot be added twice. Most of the servers are already on our server list. It is not yet possible to assign a server to your own account and edit server information. As I have already mentioned - otservers was supposed to remain hidden.
Ping/Regions:
When otservers is officially released, several regions will be available. Then it will be possible to choose from which region the ping should be displayed.
The social media module, livechat for each server is ready, but not published yet. There are also plans to add the ability to search for companions to play on a specific server or all.
There is no point in writing about new functionalities at the moment, because I am of the opinion that you need to do it first and then you can boast about it. Therefore, I am a bit sad about publishing otservers in the version you can see now. But well, it happened.
I would also like to point out that this topic can now be used as an opinion on otservers. However, if you have any comments, please write to
[email protected]. This is the only official contact for us.
Thank you all for your attention and for the warm welcome.
This is the beginning of a new, better future for the open tibia world!
