Is otservlist still the place to look for servers?

[Demnish]

Because if that would be the case then there are extremely few servers that have a viable playerbase.
But maybe I'm just too oldschool. Personally I've always used otservlist.

 

[Silba]

Unfortunately, yes.

you're just seeing the sad state of the community, that's all.

 

[Ahilphino]

ots are mostly populated by BRs now. there is extreemely few EU servers and even the few eu servers that exist often have communities that do not speak english

And yes otservlist is stil the best place, its the only place that actually bans cheaters.

Let's not fool the guy in to thinking the first page has almost any legitimate player counts spoofing is at an all time high from what i've seen. Or maybe i'm just more aware of it now.

 

[Adposatnr]

Its super hard to find ots to play on otserverlist tbh just check otland server gala and u'll be fine maybe some br only forums

otserver list doesnt care much about spoofers as most of servers if not all on top 30 doing it a lot of them abuse auto reconnects/trainers/allow people to bot and make systems which benefit people from just login and keeping char online in pz many of them aswell use build in bots from my perspective u can easily divide online count nowadays by 10 on these servers and u'll get result really close to real player count

i have not played a single brazillian server because i cant stand the ping. but ive played the other top servers there. they are not faked player numbers. if u think so then report it and they will be deleted. stop being stupoid

 

[xKrazyx]

facebook, discord, otland. imo judge a server for its content, gameplay reviews & staff, not the "online" count.

what defines a "viable" playerbase anyway?

tibia is a multiplayer game. u probably want some people to do quests, players to kill, playuers to trade with. if you can't do that then its not tibia i do not think.

but still there can be fun rpg and custom ots out there even without players. but i would not call it tibia

 

[Michael Orsino]

yeah but that doesn't really explain his use of 'viable' here - the first page of otservlist.org has player counts from 80 to 1800 online, so what is a viable playerbase I am wondering

 

[Adposatnr]

And dont get fooled by anything @Ahilphino write on otland about otserver list fact is to get somebody banned on otserver list u must login gather proof urself wait 2 weeks and then MAYBE server will be banned for a month however such server still will be able to buy banner and countdowns and after a month come back still spoofing (wearetibia, retrocores/mastercores is good example there)

You can even check otserverlist graphs and notice theres something wrong about few servers for example valoria.online

As you can see there today script supposed to slowly increase online number didnt work i believe most of current servers on otserver list use this kind of script and xinn doesnt care much about it (probably abandoned his project)

Another example is current top 2 online "players" server


I didnt play server however i strongly believe (and might even check it in free time) that this server allow botting on high scale or massively fake online players how the heck it is possible to keep atleast 1200 characters online no matter which hour is it and reach peaks for like 1500 or 1600? bots or exit trainers and no server restart must be answer for this


Also servers getting more and more experienced with spoofing making it harder for normal player to notice without actually putting a lot of effort and actually playing server

most of current players got no idea how "real" 300 players feels they got used to 2000 "characters" while in real theres 200-300 and thats still a lot for real map so ye if u somehow find not spoofed custom map server with 100 players u eventually skip it anyway cuz 100 is nothing and probably spoofed right? so server dead while in fact its not

 

[Ahilphino]

you cannot look at graphs and say they are spoofing. there can be logicalk explainations for this. Maybe the second server has lots of bots thatr are online 24/7 ? so what ? its part of most ots

play the servers then judge. for example u saying shit about valoria but this ots has good advertising campaign and nice updates. This graphs looks very weird though. But maybe there is some explaination. If not it will eventually be banned.

U sit here and cry about otservlist always. but i do not see any other website caring about cheaters AT ALL


Ok I checked valorias site. Sure that server seems 100% dead and with that graph its probably spoofed. Probably we will see it banned eventually.

I would say around 500+ players like in the old days were very healthy for non spoofed OTs.
So let's say 500~.

Of course this is all preference, but that is at least my take on it.


All in all, it's a shame that OTs has declined. I truly love this game, but I guess time waits for nothing.
Everything has its moment and then it doesn't.

Well at least I got to play during the real 7.4 and a lot of 7.4 OTs and I've had a great time. (First OT I ever played was the Survival 7.1)
Even some of the 8.6 servers were pretty dope like NoxiousOT.
Best PVP ever in any mmorpg.

If nothing else, I'll cherish these memories.

In my experience, the only way to see 500 active players is to play one of the real map servers at launch otherwise no chance.
You should be able to find non real maps that have higher proportions of active players though that wont seem anywhere near as empty as a real map with 2,10,100x the players.

OT is in a sad state, if a few 100 active players it what you want then you'll only be disappointed.

Whats the difference between ghost chars or chars which bot 24/7 auto reconnect for weeks without even player checking/refilling them? Or server which allow 3/4 of his online count to stay on trainers FOREVER?

I've been trackingi spoofers for a quite long time and it end up with them getting more compliciated and better spoof scripts in the end harder for regular players to notice these spoofs so in the end it didnt work well

You are the only one person on otland which defend otserver list is xinn so lazy that he actually employ somebody to maintain otserverlist for him?

 

[Michael Orsino]

If you want to experience a large active community on a 7.4 era real map server then you should give Tibiantis a shot. I think @kay chose not to list it on otservlist.org but you can check it out here: tibiantis.online

I'll also shamelessly plug the server I am part of too - Dura. It's also a 7.4-era server but with many custom changes and a smaller but active and dedicated community. We do list on otservlist.org, but due to our integrated proxy solution we are currently forced to report less players as online than there really are (though Dura is very strict in enforcing no multiclienting etc.) I'm currently working on what is called "client ip pass through" to get around this though and should have it ready soon - then we can report our full online count again. You can check it out here: dura-online.com

pretty stable server without mc bots or spoofs thats 1x tho

If u prefer something a bit more custom then medivia.online is for u but keep in mind they allow one mc and struggle with botters and mc also dont get fooled by online number as medivia split their player base to 5 different servers and u are allowed to login 5 characters one on each server from 1 acc thus if somebody making money (like venesuelan ppl) and 100 of them playing on medivia and tibiantis they alone adds up half of their peak total online count which in tibiantis is 100 and medivia 1000

Fun fact both servers doesnt use otserverlist for advert as its useless

 

[ralke]

I think otservlist is a neat way to find servers, in a 50%, the other 50% is how active is the community, the social part is important because players enjoy that. If you have a good community your server will probably be shared on facebook, instagram, and others.

The crucial factor to get a good community is to run anti-bot. Because botting kills the social part of the game.
Regards!

 

[pink_panther]

You can come play Nostalther if you're looking for a long term retro server that doesn't have a pay to win store or allows power abuse.

Server is always changing and under development, guided by community feedback.

 

[Zasranets]

I check it every day out of habit and have been since the beginning of otservlist. What's nice is that sometimes I can find decent servers on there that were never posted to OTland, so it's an additional place to search. The sad part is finding cool servers that aren't in English.
