Hi all,
I'm Silic0n Alph4, an anonymous code money who's fed up with Cipsoft
I've been playing Tibia with my sister since 200x. We each had periods of not playing, but finally a few years ago we both had stable Internet connections and enough free time to actually play. My wife joined us as well, and for a while it was awesome.
Then my sister got hacked.
She never shared her password, but she also hadn't changed it for over a decade, soo... Either way, Cip's response could be summarised as "fuck off". Even though it was clear from the market transactions, bank transfers, and TibiaCoin transfers who robbed her, Cip didn't want to help. After all these years of being a Cipsoft customer she'd had enough and refused to renew her premium account. My wife quit in sympathy, saying that a company that didn't respect their loyal players wasn't a company that she could support. This was a couple of years ago. I'm still a Premium account holder, but with nobody to play with the game is dead to me.
A couple of months ago I started looking into the state of the various OpenTibia servers and was blown away by just how advanced they've become. Despite playing Tibia for so long I've not looked into this stuff before, thinking that it was wrong to play on unofficial servers. Well, screw that, I'm all in.
I've been assembling a setup to run a real-map OpenTibia server on a Raspberry Pi 4B. I'm using Docker Compose, ForgottenServer 1.4/latest, ORTS2, and MyAAC. All the hard work has been done by the developers of those projects, but I hope that my efforts to bring them together, automate them, and document how it all works will be useful for other people. I'll be submitting PRs back to those projects as I go, and will keep everything I build open source. This setup is for Tibia 10.98 (TFS+ORTS2), but I play to build similar tools for deploying other versions of Tibia as projects reach maturity. I've had a play with OpenTibiaBR but don't have a working deployment yet.
The TFS+ORTS2 setup is running today on my Pi, and right now my sister is running around Tibia again for the first time in years. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to these amazing projects over years! Cipsoft may not live forever (especially with the way they treat their customers), but Tibia will.
Anyway, sorry for making you read all that! Here's the code: GitHub - silic0nalph4/nova-secura-10: An OpenTibia 10 (ForgottenServer + ORTS2) system for Raspberry Pi (https://github.com/silic0nalph4/nova-secura-10)
