Hello!

As mentioned in this announcement, we promised you some updates to OtLand. We've just started with those updates now, but instead of applying all the updates at once we will apply changes from time to time so we can receive decent feedback from you members for the changes we make.

It has been a while since I last posted an announcement, that is because I've been busy with many other things. It's time to focus on keeping OtLand up to date again.

Today we updated all our outdated plugins such as vBSEO, and we also purchased the vBulletin Blog plugin. You can use it as a personal blog, or group blog together with other members if you're developing a project and want to post teasers etc. Blogs can be found here: http://otland.net/blogs/. It will be possible to...

 

Greetings!

It's almost spring and that means...

And if you celebrate carnival,
we hope you will enjoy your days! ...​

After another discussion in our staff board we decided to reorganize the forum again. In the Community section we separated the most active prefixes into forums since it was quite a mess inside the Chat section. The hosted project boards can be accessed by Quick Links -> Hosted Project Boards in the navigation bar which also was reorganized.

We have also decided to let guests view thread content and user profiles and at the same time include some more SEO with vBSEO since all threads will...

 

Hello people,

After a period of time we have noticed that many people are posting stuff in the wrong board and we want to remind you that this is an OpenTibia-related forum therefore posts about specific otservers should be kept in one of our
Hosted Project Boards or in the Advertisement Board. If we see these posts in the wrong board then an action will be taken so please think twice before you submit your thread! This also means for other posts that are in a wrong board.

We got some issues with the server we have been using during the hardware upgrade and until it will be working again we are using Cato's server to host OtLand.

Cato has also been temporarly promoted to an administrator during this time. We're sorry for the downtime and OtLand will be moved back to the old server again as soon as it is working again.

Kind regards,
OtLand Staff.

Our goal was to create a community for the OpenTibia project, and seeing that we got over 9000 members since the...
