Greetings!
I'm looking to gather a team to create a classic retro-inspired OpenTibia server for client version 7.4.
The goal is to create a server which is inspired by Tibia in it's golden days. To create a space in which the players and the community can grow and prosper. To build a vibrant and living community. The server will have special features inspired by older versions of the game, such as spell scrolls, a variant of the old ammunition system, removed battle-list aim, summonable dragons, power arrows, interesting stories and myths, rares that are truly rare and so on and so forth. Most of these features, and others, are already up and functioning in the modified OpenTibia server and the modified client.
For this purpose, the server will be fairly low-rate (except for the equivalent of Rookgaard, which you should be able to leave fairly quickly), and strictly enforced rules will apply with regards to destructive behaviour such as botting and other forms of cheating.
Features that are planned for the future are for example a multi-world system (servers located in America and Europe) and a premium account system similar to that of CipSoft's Tibia, one that will not provide premium players with an unfair advantage over non-premium players. The reason for having a premium system at all is to be able to keep the server running. Advantages for premium account players would be things like access to a premium-only game world, hunting grounds that are only available to premium players and similar. Still, this is in the future and subject to change.
The people I'm looking for should be able to communicate in English fairly well, and be able to act in a friendly yet professional way.
Initially, I'm mainly looking for these people:
* One or two mappers, to create the world map in a style similar to CipSoft's Tibia (but better ;-)).
* One or two scripters, to create non-player characters, quests and similar.
* A writer, to help come up with an interesting background story and related quests.
Moreover, I'm looking for the following people:
* A web designer, capable of creating a good looking layout for the website.
* A couple of trustworthy gamemasters, to keep the rules enforced.
* As many beta testers as possible.
I myself will act as a combined manager, hoster and programmer. I can also provide dedicated hosting for the game server, the website and the community forums.
If you are interested in applying, feel free to reply to this thread or send me a PM. Included in your application should be your real name, your age, the position you believe you could fill and links to some of your previous work.
Farewell for now, and good hunting,
Steelbeard.
