Tibia 7.7 clone, run 7.7 server or a 7.92 one?

[Ezzz]

As most of you know, I've been working for quite a few years on RealOTS reverse engineering and all that's about it on my free time, since a good while I go I made a replica of RealOTS, even perfect bug free, it's so beautiful and perfect that I literally have a relationship with the server.

It's mostly just there, doing nothing, so I thought, why should I not try and invest in running it?
I mean, it's a perfect replica of Tibia 7.7 with a few changes, one being that I completely discarded RealOTS spell formulas due to them being unbalanced as fuck.

If anyone has any suggestions for a REAL RPG server, that you can have fun, level up with ease (but not as ease) and feel a real RPG that hasn't been seen in OTS before, what are your suggestions?

As for the 7.92 proposal, I've updated these files to work with Tibia 7.92, only lacking what we'd call Liberty Bay area as there is mostly no real map of this area from actual Tibia 7.92, so mostly just new outfits and sprites, and also new monsters, things can be revamped with updates, such as new areas, and quests for the outfits/addons, by also having the entire engine I used for the recreation of Tibia 7.7 (RealOTS), so you'd have a some what modern server with the real thing feel.

Little information about the project can be found in www.realotsblog.wordpress.com.

Please note that this project itself may or may not happen, depending on how I feel the entire thing will be received, and more that I'm from Venezuela and doing such an investment means +1 year of work (in Venezuela currency) put to waste, so things are to be done carefully.

You could take liberty bay from this - [8.0][TFS 1.x] Realera - Real Map I don't think there was any changes in it from 7.92-8.0.

That's indeed a really good source, there are quite a few map bugs but nothing that can't be solved out easily.

Yep, good luck with it, could be an interesting server, hopefully you don't disappear after teasing us with it again lol

I'm very well aware of that, I've been economically incapable of hosting every single one of my projects, so they have been mostly just put for sale.
However, given how important this one is and the entire thing being so perfect for RPG, fun and war servers is making me think of hosting it, even if I could just profit 50$ usd a month, I could live a happy life in Venezuela.

I think you are one the few persons who can make and maintain a good server.
Why not?

I will be there for sure. I learned a lot from your work and has motivated me to do what I'm doing now.

Give us 7.92

 

[Dynamics]

Will you be using otc or cips client

 

[Ezzz]

Give us 7.92

I personally like both versions. Although, with 7.92 I see myself allowed to develop a lot more content

@Dynamics did not see your post, OTC

 

[Dynamics]

Awesome!

Good News, I'll be waiting aswell Personally I would prefer 7.7.

The project is entirely made for 7.72, the 7.92 version still incomplete, so I would most likely just run the 7.7 clone project.

7.92 would be a better option imo, a million 7.7 servers out there, plus 7.92 has more content with liberty bay/addons/poi

Sounds like a good plan!
If you need an investor for hosting, you know where to find me.

I don't mind helping people out

I pretty much rather finish the 7.92 version, include all that is required and eventually be posting about it maybe in a different thread.

Exactly what I'm thinking.

Thank you, I appreciate it, but nothing I have decided on yet.

Good luck! How often do you work on it?

Mostly when I'm not working, however ever since I completed the 7.72 project, I stood quite a few days making item by item on the 7.92 version, so far it's a 7.92 server with only 7.7 content and just 7.92 client support.

But I'm a fast programmer and worker, I can easily finish a lot of things in no time, but the question is, if it will be worth it to invest time in completing the 7.92 version, or run the 7.7 clone meanwhile so I can build a community (but they would mostly rather stick with 7.7 instead of updates, and 7.7 is very limited) but I've always preferred 7.92 because of the big content upgrades it brings to the table, also wouldn't be an issue to then include most modern Tibia monsters and be expanding the entire content of the server. Meanwhile with 7.7, it's a big hit when you want to add something to it.

That's a good idea, make sure it's a HR with a nice war system, otherwise a lot of people will overlook it

Unfortunately, I dislike high rate servers, but I'm thinking about a some what high rate server, on which actually being level 100 is a good accomplishment by also allowing people to have fun by getting to the mid game levels of the game, I'm more of a RPGish user you know.

I play real Tibia, and although it's x1, in 3 hours I can get a level being level 196 yet people complain when they see things lower than x50

 

[Dynamics]

I meant for the temporary server if you were going to put it up whilst you finish the 7.92, I prefer lower rates too
