All this work for nothing.
The problem is a mix of nearly everything here. Tibia itself is dying, therefor the number of people who play the real version and OTs is reduced. OTs have been out long enough that the veterans in the community rarely come around, if they even come back at all. This leads to the forums becoming empty and filled with people who don't know what their doing.
The problem is how the new members are treated. It used to be that curiosity drove people to learn how to make and run OTs, at least that's why I kept around. With tutorials on how to do everything, new members trying to run their own servers right out of the gate, you are skipping an important step: learning through playing. Back around 7.1-7.6 you didn't just join the community and setup a server, you played OTs. Nowadays this step is skipped, leading to the next problem.
Those people who skipped the step of playing then realize that in order to survive they're server needs something extra, and they try and do it themselves such as adding a script. When that goes wrong they come here, with 1-15 posts asking for help like they run the show, and the person helping them kindly tells them to GTFO. That's when you essentially lose a prospected member, because instead of coming back for help the next time, and maybe sticking around to browse the forums and join the community, they just let their server run until it gets no more players, hoping people are stupid to donate to their RealOTs server. And people are stupid.
Tl;Dr
Game is old.
Veterans leave.
Knowledge is too accessible.
Lurkers are shunned after posting for help.
RealOTs ruined everything.
Donations killed good OTs.
People are stupid.
There's my rant,

not a bullshit. but not only the otland is dying, all Open tibia community is getting lower.
And I would like to see how Open Tibia will survive, when Cip removes the c++ client
Tibia is 14 years old. Give it a break, if it survived this long, it will survive longer.
Yes, the game is getting old, but people always go back to Tibia.
I think that if Cipsoft opened a higher rates server, it would do a lot better, get more people to come.
Say like, 5-10xp
Higher the exp is not a solution. maybe to you but higher exp eventually kills a server.
if Cipsoft want to wake up their game again they better get rid of the botters first, then remake the game to those who loved it, rather than listen to cries that dies and rage about it.
