most custom maps dont have a lot of players on them. as compared to rl maps as long as u have a stable host and its online often its easy to make it to 50ppls online
why join a server if u just gonna ask where everything is? half the fun is exploring and finding new stuff, but many ppl dont even like to explore
Me and a friend made a stable real map.
Added some random custom crap.
And Walla! 250 people online in 2 days.
Custom maps are always hard to start on, thats why people pick real tibia maps, since wherever you go you know what to do.
How many servers exist right now that have maps that have 90% or more custom made maps.
There may be a few but barely any compared to the amount of rl maps. Everyone goes on about how custom maps are so great but look at MMB's work and soon the same thing will happen the Chauz.They mapping is amazing but MMB's server failed in time(i forgot the name of it) and soon the same will happen to Chauz once he opens up a server
Peope find comfort in what they all ready know and love look at evolutions map, anyone who knew anything about OT's knew evolutions maps it became popular and people played it, the same with YurOT's map, But this is only because the maps were everywhere how many people do you think would play on YurOT's map if it was a custom map at the time? not many.
I disagree u too...
The first 5 months of my server OnLine... people (the smart ones!) told me this: "Why you don't change the map?" "Evolution maps sux..." then I said to them u wanna rl map.. and some of them told me yes, but the majority ones told me NO...
So, you get more pro and experienced players by creating a full custom map
We already know evolution map sucks, that's why we're telling you to make your own maps.
Otitis Lol, funny word :>
Pronouced (oh-tee-eye-tis)
Diagnosis: These are the phases newbies go through when they first encounter Open Tibia Servers. Its tragic.
Phase # 1
Status: Player quits real tibia, they find out about Ot's
Conclusion: They WANT REAL MAPS!!!
Phase # 2
Status: Player has been playing random real maps for a month, they keep closing after 5 days. Player gets cranky....
Conclusion: They get picky with the real map servers they play on, They will only play quality real maps....
Phase # 3
Status: Player is sick of real maps, they are repetitive and boring...
Conclusion: Player tries a variety of different servers. Custom map's, Uncommon War Servers.....
Phase # 4
Status: Player is sick of the low quality, shit mapping of these random custom maps....
Conclusion: Player will only play on high quality Projects, Located on Otland.net
(Player also hates every real map out there and likes to insult shitty server creators and hosters).
And thus! The Evolution is COMPLETE!!!!
OMG STOP TALKING ABOUT "RL MAP"
RL = Real Life...
There is no Real Life tibia map
Is it that hard to wright Real tibia map or Cip map..
BTW: Custom map is the shit
