What the hell is VansOTS?
we'd love to invite you to try your chance at our new adventure, 7.4 inspired OT (mostly 7.4+ some additional stuff). It's friendly host OT which means destructive behavior (verbal and non-verbal) and other stuff like bots and macros will be punished by account deletion, and there'll be no appeal for rule-breaking. It's meant to be a escape from all the paid OTS and RL tibia with good company.

We know some might not enjoy joining OT already in progress, but we're all in for a long haul, we're helpful and we're just looking for more friendly faces to join us in our long, long adventure forward :)

Core elements:
  • Custom way to get spells:
    • You no longer just get them or simply buy them at NPC. Some spells you can buy directly from NPCs (like runes) others drop from monsters or quest. That means that some spells will be rare and you will need a group to obtain them (One such example is targeted exori-eqsue spell from one of the end game bosses)
    • For example: Utevo lux can be found in a place where on RL tibia you'd find battle axe quest.
  • It's still good ol' 7.4 so you it's grindy, however we have a lot of system to help you with that grind or runemaking.
    • You can buy runes from the shop, however you'll need to find NPC's spread over the Tibia that sell them, usually in cities. They're all dedicated to their runes and selling them!
  • There's automated fishing, just throw your fishing rod, have worms at backpack and you will automatically fish until you're out of CAP. Fish rewards scale with fishing levels, there's mana fish, health fish, stat fish etc. and normal fish of course :)
  • Mining will allow you to get some additional resources on the go, especially for Enchanting
  • Enchanting allows you to take a special gems, and turn some weapons (few weapons tiers for each melee sub-skill) to add some spicy elemental damage on top of them.
  • Wands/Rods that are used as shields, and can be used with right click (only when equipped) as additional damage source, they consume mana but don't count towards normal other CD's, and they deal damage!
  • Custom Locations: Svarground (roughly 60% completed, some free space, it's 'always in development' OT). new locations, new monsters, new bosses, new mini-bosses.
  • New items: Like wands/rods, enchanted versions, but also new set pieces, or 'gap' items like: Big Red Dress (9 armor, light weight)
  • We've got our own Wikia which is still expanding, but has a lot of custom information on hand.
  • Almost 3 years of server uptime: Uptime: 99.84%, May 6, 2022, 5:55 pm CET, we're not going anywhere. We're here to stay, and we will be here for years to come ;)
  • Mana for druid/sorc is 2400/3600 (no promo/promo), Knight health and mana regen are also UP
  • Runes have no vocation or level req (like it was back then)
  • Ankrahmun and Darashia and Port Hope (whole Darama during 7.4) are disabled and won't be accessible. It's very common trait in all of retro ots, because they brought bad vibe to Tibia. So we're keeping it as it is custom those days
  • Rookgaard+ (You can go to Rookgaard from the temple, after creating character) with mini-boss esque Ghoul, Scarab... and more for you to explore ;)
  • Custom quests for outfits
  • Custom 'Vanscoins' gathered by just being logged in, that allows you to buy carpets and furniture (also f2p)
  • Expanded Skinning, get a skinning knife near Mount Sternum and get to skinnin'~!
  • Trainers -- we do have trainers here, but it's part of the Quest, you'll need some skinning and some good levels before you can fly away on your magical AFK adventure, or you'll just need to buy things from someone else who already did all the work for you! That works :)
  • Mindless grind JUST doesn't feel right without some good dopamine triggers, so we added Tasks for you to enjoy, visit Greenshore to start your tasking adventure (tasks are pretty basic ATM, but we will expanding them for all custom monsters, and maybe all monsters at some point or another in future.)
  • While you can start in normal set of Cities we recommend THAIS because that's where the most basic of spells can be gotten.
  • Paladins can craft Powerbolts, after short quest.
  • Burst Arrows scale with Dist or MLVL+lvl (whichever is higher) so it's good for Paladins and Druid/Sorc/Knight
    • We also have endless spear for training, looted from one of the mid-tier mini bosses.
  • PREMIUM IS FREE
  • Server is 100% free to play, there's no shop, there's no points, there's no 'pay for skin'.

was curious how 131ms hunted those demons but he do it solo without blocker

during ~34 seconds of fight demon casted 4 gfbs 2 gebs and 4 fire fields xddd

second one did 6 gfbs and 2 gebs in ~44 seconds


server looks cool tho doesnt try to apply to everybody by making false PVP server where gm intervere in pvp and ban people for doing so however if its fully non-pvp monsters should be a bit more rough tbh

Hey! Thank you for comment, yeah we're definitely not "PVP BAIT" there's already a lot of them, and we don't really need more ;)

We're still adding additional monsters of different levels, like boss Gilgaraz who needs to be tanked by atleast level 100 knight with defensive shield and shielding fish, our 'top levels' are 144 MS, 141 EK, 125 MS, 114 RP. Remember tho, it's still 7.4soul, which means that mages start being crazy around 120-130, we will counter it at later levels with less physical damage impact (additional resistanced for physical) to force other runes like Icycle, spells etc.

But, it's still more RPG long-haul server. We know that's smallest market in Tibia there is, but WAR ots are fun, but having long term stable OT for RPG is nice destress even when only played between war OTS^^ But that's strong side of Vansots, it'll be always here as long as we're healthy and there's no nuclear war outside >.>

We try to tailor the content for the players levels we have, not 'wish we had'. It's common mistake that OT do, just spamming end game and middle levels get bored to death and quit, we try to make it alt friendly and grind friendly. So in nearest patch we will be adding more tasks, Rookgaard tasks, etc. There's also plenty of outfit quests, gathering quests, custom backpacks with more slots (some OTS want money, we want you to play haha) for skinning etc.

That's why there's a lot of custom mobs aswell, like Soulhoof which is heavy hitter with low armor, Svarground offers both low level Ice Witch and medium level which we lovingly call KFC, and boss for icycle rune for druid.

To also use this reply for a little teaser on future update:
-> Rookgaard tasks (next patch, or one after it, depending how much we add in this update),
-> Additional endgame boss or two
-> Rookgaard Furniture Shop
-> Hellgate small rebalance, making it friendlier for Elder Beholder task, and making 'ground' floor beside the buildings easier for lower level tasks
-> New Quest for access to spawn (end of medium tier-mobs)
-> More mailboxes in more convient spots! (we have semi-custom Postman ;))
-> More details once we settle on patch content...


Another small gallery from our discord :)
 
Frankly this is good ots focused on exploring as spells drops from mobs/quests and completely free. In addition I love old sprites.
You start with 8 level on mainland. But there is still possibility to reset if you want play as rookslayer.
Hp/mana regen is 2x faster. Spawn is also 2x.
Experience is 2x and after 50level 1.5x.
There is NPC trade window with "sell all" option. Leveling up restores you to full hp/mana. THere are trainers after completing quest.

Cons. Client migh be irritating, I hate picking up spears and I would develop enchanting bonuses on weapons/armors (for example you can enchant only old sprites items and get various bonuses).

Hey! Thanks for comment,

Actually there IS enchanting for melee weapons. Enchanting - VansOTs (https://vansots.miraheze.org/wiki/Enchanting)

And we are planning to perhaps bring the attribute system in for that Loot+ feeling, however balancing it JUST RIGHT will still take time, and we aren't exactly sure which direction it would go to.

Additionally we will try to fix the client's saving data issues, that is fair it is annoying and it's been here for FAAAAR too long.

Regardless, thank you for checking us out, and we hope you'll stay a while with us ;)
 
This server seems pretty interesting. After digging through some of the information on here and on the site/wiki, I decided to give it a go.
Honestly it all seems interesting and I am eager to explore the server. However, I think the new player experience is pretty terrible, unless this was designed like this on purpose.

I started as a druid in Carlin before realizing that I cannot use spells until I learn them. But I can't buy them. (some of them can be bought, but not all)
I have to get the starting spells through quests that are in Thais, so it feels a bit strange to allow players to pick any starting town when Thais should just be the only option.
I was lucky to start with a friend that chose a knight so we 2 manned the 'utevo lux' and 'exura' quests (read: Knight solod the quest while I was just a passenger for most part). Now I finally had spells so I could start training my magic level, however I still need to obtain rune and instant spells which will costs me at least 1k+ gold for most of the spells from what I understood.

Now another friend started around the same time and was handed 2 'wands' for free. He gave me one of them, so I went out and test them. Really cool mechanic you use them as shield and you can attack with them by using them like a rune, cool. However they do cost mana to use, similar to how wands work in Tibia. Only difference is, the mana used for the wands don't seem to actually count for magic level training from what I've seen. So even though the wand is really strong for my level, it feels a bit pointless to use it when I can't sustain using it and I dont even get mlvl out of it(?).

I have only been playing for a total of a few hours, while most of them were just me "manasitting" in Thais, I think the server has potential, but I do think that new players need to get some love. If it wasn't for my friends being here, I absolutely would've just logged off and never came back.

Edit: This IS through the eyes of a new player that picked a mage vocation. I do think RP and EK might have it slightly easier (aside from the beginner spells being locked behind quests). Melee damage (so I assume ranged damage too) is buffed so Knight seems to at least progress at a decent pace where they can slowly move on to stronger monsters.

Might be a good idea to keep posting patches on the OTLand thread and/or on the site. It looks like it's not being worked on, but after looking in Discord I see plenty of updates.
Would be nice if you keep sharing updates here especially since not everyone is that eager to just join every server's Discord.

Like amazing... HEDGES! Additionaly, worth to mention that many legendary items have their "Classic" versions, as an addition to the existing ones, for those who are more into collecting and deco.


Additionally, we are working on 3 more addional raids, 3 more outfits. I'll keep you guys updated!

Also, from important bugfixes, we cleared the bug that prevented options from saving between client exits.

Alright, leaving you guys with some screenshot!

The server is definitely cool and interesting. It's a small community but pretty active and very helpful, especially towards new players.
I'd recommend setting up an easier start to engage players.
 
We're still here, and thank you guys for comments! :)

It's christmas season so we're more busy, but we're still slowly working towards after new year-patch.

Smaller patches that happend inbetween:
Patch date: 19.11.2024
  • Warlock can now be hurt by ice.
  • Few trees will be removed from some houses in Thais.
  • Rotworm Queen has been added into the game.
Patch date: 28.11.2024
  • Elemental by crossbow/bows have been nerfed.
But everyone is as always welcome to play :)

Additionally, we've set it so you can only start in Thais due to Utevo Lux and Exura quests being in the city

Utevo Lux
Exura

We also acknowlege that start is a bit convoluted and we looking into getting it easier to get going. Perhaps with some introductionary quest to get spells, start task etc. Thank you for feedback!
