I came here to say my experience in the Nottinghster server,
first thing... im brazilian so fuc% you if you don`t like my english ;D
So, im a oldschool player, 7.4-7.7 tibia versions, i used to get rush level and sell chars at this server time, like 2+ years selling many chars that i leveled until 100 to sell in real life for friends (yeah i was a no life kid! school- tibia-bed-tibia-school), cause for me, the real fun of tibia was the rpg, the sensation of going hunt some monster and getting too much waste and damage, and some days later killing that same monster with 1 hit, that for me is the best part of tibia, the way you improve your damage, skills, capacity and all the stuffs that make the same hunt you used to do one mouth before with waste now became a profit...
ok, this was a little part of my history just to introduce my tibia experience, and comprove that what i will discribe will make sense...
Server Prós:
good damage balance all vocations
respaw slow (thats essencial for a server with low rates, cause you cant have profit or a good hunt if monsters keep giving full respaw each time you leave room or get some distance)
svarground arena for start items
an admin that is not a kid, its a professional that work in IT, and have a family, so tibia its not a simple game for him, its kinda a hobby that he likes to spend time with
he got the first devovorga quest in server, this means he is a person who know how to create stuff for ot, so a bug he can fix faster then the time you spend to report
he used to have a server with 100+ active player years ago, so now with more experience that should be not a test, but a server that comes to be one of the best
got market in website for offline runes trades, so selling and buying stuff in server will be a normal pratice, not just djins and npcs
he made custom quest like Excalibug, with new sprites and awesome timeline history to enjoy
he dont know the exp what will be, but i like the way he think same as me, is its staged, just a little hel like until level 20-40, more then that will be same for everyone, cause people who want to fast level and pk, or destroy server will not finish the fun of players that wasted time getting level... (i say that cause many server like classicus or others with big staged diferences like 20x in begin and 3x end, its easy and fast to get 80-100, and kinda slow to improve 100+, and in a pvp fight a level 80 can easy kill a lv 100, but the diference is that the lv 80 played 2 days and its doing pk fo fun and will leave server in a week, and the 100 its a active player that have not much time to rush, but its a player who is enjoying server for weeks will die for this kid... thats kinda sux for me)
graphics and lights are awesome
many others details that i can keep talking, but who know what is a good server can feel that playing 30 min of that...
Server Cons:
its not already openned ;D
See you guys in this server! \0/ lets make a pray for Nottinghster leaves his job and social life (joke!!!) to get more time and finish the server! LOL im sooo selfish
