@Tampik back Ryan provided mediocre servers which were considered good at the time because there was no competition (after Realots closed).
In principle, there was no good competition servers at that time, there were some weakly secure from attacks from outside.
Old times i used to play rarely on regular rpg ots servers , becasue i scared to lose account by hackers i played only 36.hopto.org war ots.
I started to play server servers rpg ots , more often when on version 7.9 i start play on Inferna and with friend played some ots servers , what he playing.
But him no scared to lose account and he tell me: what you scared , this tibia with hotkey is shit don't scared and play all ots servers no only 36.hopto.org.
Then I thought that this guy was right , and i started playing on different servers, not just war ots.
Old times there were some nice 7.6 rpg servers which I liked.
I do not remember their names, I remember only one name: noonezone or somthing this style without exp stages with constant exp x 100.
I remember old times people were reluctant to play low rate servers , servers with steady exp x30 is no good for players and they servers this style have like a 5-10 players where in this times Ryan open servers no Oldera only other , no remember name this server beginning with: d ... I do not remember what it was called, but it had a record of over 90 players from what I remember and this is much high rate.
Fashion for low rate servers and a large number of units online made by bot farms started with the first classictibia server with exp 2.5.
I could not make movies then, but Noxey who played with me in this server taught me how make movies with program: hypercam.
I played on this for fun have 34 ed with 48 mlv and some other low lvl to pk.
I'm in this movie classictibia :
1:55 i pk with hespectus next to my house
2:57 action ghostland uh trap with my low lvl paladin: Recep ivedik
Septera high rate could be pretty cool, if people wanted to play it , if gm add pvp enforced then is perfect server for me.
@Die in heal @Tampik back etc: How about someone make a thread in the discussion section about oldschool servers in general and we can continue there?
No, I do not know if it makes sense to open such a thread, there would be small a lot of interest in such a thread.
