    Discussion: Would a web-based OT be welcome?

    Looks clean to me. As long as the player is able to move the menus around and resize the screen I like this design. Btw, saw you coding live for a bit last week, nice job in general. Any particular reason on why you use Notepad++ instead of say, VS Code? Also saw quite a bit of older ES syntax...

    Is the Open Tibia genre dead?

    Yes, and I would dare to say that its dead both from the developer and player perspectives. Developer: Outdated codebase, barely any contributions since years ago, steep learning curve that gets harder as time passes by and the code gets more and more outdated (compatiblity issues, etc)...

    Discussion: Would a web-based OT be welcome?

    Incredible work! Did you build the server part from scratch? Node.js has come a long way, the latest version (16.x) had a noticeable performance increase. I wonder how capable an engine built around it would be for a Tibia-esque game.

    OTClient 1.0 (Release)

    Congrats Mehah, this really is a legendary contribution and a breath of life to this stagnant community. I don't host servers since long ago, but seriously, if you make use of this guy's work at the very least be sure to thank him (and buy him a coffee if you can).

    Medivia and their updates

    There really are people who do think like that, and its not just a couple. I was one of them. Heck, if it wasn't for the 7.4 sprite pack I would have never come back to Medivia. Now I don't care about the old graphics, but back then it was a really important factor for me to get interested in...

    Medivia and their updates

    Welp, if he really said that then its a bad move on his part. There even was a guy or two who converted all the old outfits and other old sprites to HD, so that they were compatible with the new client, but as you said the updates scramble them up and they stop working. I for one don't care...

    Medivia and their updates

    I remember Ironyt once talked about this situation, and he said something along the lines of "There were signs of looming legal issues with Cipsoft". Remember that at the time Medivia had almost 30% of Tibia's players, talking about online numbers, so it was kind of a unique situation and...

    Medivia and their updates

    Medivia would have a lot of more players nowadays if they had facilitated the community to make a classic sprite pack as soon as that graphical overhaul was implemented 3 years ago. The game was at its peak (player count wise) back then, and this sudden graphical overhaul caused many people to...

    What "killed" RL Tibia for YOU?

    I've always said it, Cip being passive against the biggest problems in the game and implementing half-assed "fixes" / ignoring problems for a long time / ignoring long-time players and listening to noobs instead: Oh, we have one of the biggest botting problem in any MMO? Sure, we'll just...

    Vocation Adjustments Incoming

    What a nothing-burger, judging by how they announced this, I was expecting much much bigger changes, like a re-imagination of vocations. So basically just a few new spells and a couple adjustments to existing ones (the mana shield thing sounds really .stupid btw, makes absolutely no sense that...

    Character Auction

    Probably, but taking off the "insecure" step of transacting with an account is a huge deal. Dealing exclusively with tibiacoins is highly secure. If I wanted to buy/sell a character, I'd always go for the 99.9% secure way even if that meant paying a hefty commision, the only exception being if I...

    Character Auction

    It's super easy to convert TC into cash and vice-versa through one of the many reputable third-party shops.

    Character Auction

    Coming from someone who mostly criticizes Cip's decisions, I think this is a really good idea. This shit has been going on since forever, and as someone else pointed out, its scams half of the time. It will incentivize retired players who don't have much time nowadays (but now have money) to...

    Medivia - discussion and announcement of a new world Unity

    Congratulations to Ironyt and all the staff, this update really was an achievement. I came back from retirement and I'm really enjoying the game. Hilarious how some people get mad because "it isn't Tibia anymore". Well, to that I'd say that Medivia is more "Tibia" than current Cipbia is. The...
