Announcements

After another Staff Discussion of new board moderators we decided to promote...
Jonern; OpenTibia category & LUA Scripts & XML board
Mokerhamer; LUA Scripts & XML board

We hope that this will reduce useless posts on the forum.

Next weekend we will introduce an arcade system on the forum and also patch some minor changes in the forum structure.

Kind regards,
OtLand Staff.

 

Otland staff wish you all happy Easter and we hope you enjoy your free day(s)!
If you haven't noticed yet, the logo of Otland has changed to a Easter theme. ^_^

Gangsta-jr - German Native Chatboard
Seabitz - Art Showoff
Znote - Resources section

I've also had some members asking me why OtLand has been down for x hours so I'll answer that here for everyone. OtLand...

 

Greetings OTLand!

We, the OTLand staff, would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! May it bring you joy, happiness, and everything else you deserve.

Happy Holidays, and thank you all for the year we have had together! Let's hope that we still have many more years to come.

Sincerely,
The OTLand Staff

 

I've noticed that some members aren't using a 'decent language' in their posts & reports.
I want to remember everyone that this bad behaviour breaks the rules and it can be punished with a ban. (Don't ask me why the rules have been removed from the top)

By making this thread my intention is to ask all members to follow the rules of this forum.

Thanks for paying atention,
See you around

 

We have finally purchased the vBulletin Project Tools, it will make it alot easier to handle bug reports, feature requests and tasks in projects.

We have placed subforums which redirects to the Project Tools for the OpenTibia project and for The Forgotten Server project.

OpenTibia developers can either reply in this thread or send me a private message if they're interested in having access to handle reports and feature requests there.

A link to the Project Tools index...

 

Hello folks.

When I went trough the forum, I have seen some nasty avatars around here, these are mostly sexuality (*where sex organs are fully being shown*) and gruesome tinted avatars. These images aren't appropriate to be on a public forum like OTLand where everyone can have access to.
The same applies to images posted in a thread.

If you would see any sort of those avatars I mentioned then you should report them right away with the report function and we will take care of it...

 

Happy new year!

We wish you a safe 2009 in advance

Thank you everybody for supporting Otland as it's known as today. we surely hope to see you again on the next year! :thumbup:

Kind regards,
OtLand Staff.

We recently reached the amount of 10,000 members and we believe it is time to expand our Staff team to keep OtLand clean from things which is against our rules.

Everyone who is interested in helping us may post an application here: http://otland.net/forumdisplay.php?f=213. There is no application template, and you will not be able to view other members applications.

Empty and Souldrainer (formerly known as Badtoffel) has also been promoted to Global Moderators, so they are no...

 

For the second time, we've decided to reorganize the forum. We are now making more use of the thread prefix system which was introduced in vBulletin 3.7. We hope that it will be easier and less confusing to find things.

Besides that all Board Moderators has been promoted to Global Moderators and tomorrow there'll be around three new Board Moderators. We'd also like to inform you about that we have affiliated with OTS List (http://www.ots-list.org), an OpenTibia Serverlist maintained...

 

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.

Today the Mapping board was moved from the Art section to the OpenTibia section and a subforum named Competitions was created. The arcade scores have been reseted to give other members a chance to...

 

Welcome, in celebrating for our second anniversary I hereby gladly present the public map voting for Group D!

As I told in the thread for registering there will be 4 groups, each group has formed 5 contestants who fit almost in the same category of mapping. They had 7 days to complete their entry with a free choice what they want to create.

Now the rules for voting:

Don't advertise or a campaign to make...​

 

I'd like to announce the few changes for Otservlist.org's board. There has been a feedback thread in the past where some of you have voiced constructive criticism about the state of the board and its purpose. During its long history, otservlist.org has chosen to use Otland's hosted board as its forum and while we no longer have many "hosted project boards", we are keen to continue offering space for this project.

A while ago, due to lack of responses from otservlist.org's...

 

In the past days, I've cought members posting infected files, it wasn't any common trojan/virus. They did not get infracted/banned, but please scan your files before posting the download links to avoid infractions/banishment.

Kind regards,
Otland Staff.

 

After some days of Staff Discussion about a new forum structure, and other changes, we finally patched the changes that we've been planning.

We hope that those changes doesn't cause too much confusion and that you still can find the right board for things, unregistered users will now be able to view the forum without a membership but can not download attachments which registered users will be able to.

There are also some minor changes in the Staff;
Markje and Snel pUppie...

Last night there was an unexpected downtime on OtLand for approx three hours due to an issue with the server. We're sorry for that. During the downtime we switched from the unstable (Sid) distribution of Debian GNU/Linux to the stable one (Etch). This also fixed some other issues we had on the server such as dpkg (Debians Package Manager) being broken, so now we can really keep things up to date, so we hope that this will increase the stability of the server even more (before the reboot we...

Greetings OtLand!
Another year is coming to an end and we are so happy to receive 2015.
We can't believe how fast time is passing, how many victories we had this year, how many failures we survived in our personal lives.

But this is it! Take a tame to enjoy your family, have a nice dinner with them, hug your loved ones, give, receive. Don't make foolish goals, try to make them realistic, ask for help to fulfill them and try not to lose one more year.

Thank you all for this...
