So I found this OT by chance, and I saw there's a mixed reviews here and some drama so I decided to check it for myself.
Here's my review of it:
The OT seems to be pretty nicely done with nice to look at web page (although green af xD)
So I registered and jumped in, I felt a bit overwhelmed with custom rookgaard, there's houses, a lot of people training by the temple, and pretty high levels for rookgaard. So I asked some who was walking by to tell me if I should exp normally or do what, he told me to do tasks at temple and take grizzly adam's task (there's one on rookgaard) so I did. I've walked down to sewers with my starting club and killed few rats, when suddenly a animation played of blue pulsating light. Suddenly Red Skull Rat appears and he slapped, so I went up, bought 2 spears and healed up, went down killed him again. This was my first time with the mini-boss system this server has to offer, there's a chance for demonic/diabolic tier 1/tier 2 mini-boss to spawn and those offer additional challenge but also additional loot. It breaks through the boring monotony of the grind and allows for additional loot/exp and some magical items.
So the magical items, there's a diablo-like system of items being able to roll additional stats and ILVL that gives you some basic stats to help grind and kill shit faster, this also leads to crafting, allowing you to re-roll, re-add and upgrade magical values of the item. I've gotten legendary leather boots which had 5 armor and 2% additional exp which made me stick to them for a long while.
Another fun custom thing I've seen was the "cursed chests" that come with 4 rarity levels: common, rare, epic, legendary. When you are level 8 you usually sell the location to the higher level players who are always on look-out for those. They appear randomly on the map, and if you are lucky you can get an epic chest on your way to trolls, which selling provides you up to 50-60k in cash for players willing to pay for location.Once you are a bit stronger you can do a common one, and if you are lucky you can earn some good loot or gem boxes or other fun stuff.
So on the topic of Gemboxes, beside the magical attributes there's also the 'gem' system, where you can directly upgrade your weapon with crit/crit chance/life leech and life leech chance. It's a bit too plain for my liking, but it does give an additional edge to slay monsters and go number go BRRRRRRR.
Map is RL tibia 7.72 with liberty bay and Svargrond. There's also some Narnia island but I've never been there only heard stories about it (lol, maybe I should check some closets...) generally the spawns from current Tibia are intertwined into old areas which i love, it gives even the older areas more life and doesn't make mainland feel abandoned and empty.
To add to map stuff, there's few "challange of Elysium" or so dungeons in-map, they allow you solo or group challange for some nice EXP and rewards (first being under Darashia Minotaur Piramid). This one can be done around level 30 (only with someone who'll help you clear it, it's hard) and basically allows you to buy pacc with rewards you get (which gives like 10% more, and allows you to buy house, not much more which I like) and some spare money for hunt or upgrades.
There's also custom 'dungeons' which you get few tokens to try, they are fun solo or with group, althou that is part that felt still very much in progress to me, they are playable and there's selection of them but I wish there was MORE of it. I love the idea of instanced dungeons in Tibia and I can only say I love it and I need more. I wish they add few more, and expand the ways to get dungeons tokens for them.
Conclusion:
It's still tibia on steroids, and I enjoyed it, it gives player a lot more to do between just grind, the task system is pretty beefy and tries to balance weaker spawns with more rewards. It's still in progress OT so there's a bit of changes here and there, people get banned for botting pretty often (although, as life is it's hard to catch em all...)
I really enjoyed it and it felt like taking all the good ideas of other OT with their own spin on it, I'd recommend everyone to at least TRY it and form opinion on their own gameplay, and not base is around short drama on OTland
I rate it solid 8.5/10.
