You think mounts comes from ots? Well I can see now that you joined 2013..
Mounts are probbly from wow, mounts where added to ots (a player riding ex an orc) a couple of months after mounts we're added to rl.
If Mark leaves, otland would die if he dosen't give it to someone else, who has the knowledge to keep it alive. And what does things 7 years ago matter if he leaves, or has he created a bot that scans tibia wikia and adds the things to a server, compiles and writes a tutorial on otland about it? haha
And we need more devs. Elf has left, Stian has left including alot of other devs that we're working on 0.4, Slawakens, Paxton, Limannen, Colandus, Empty, [the panda mod, cant remember his name] Remeres has left. These are just the ones I can think of now, and alot more have left us.
So no, we do need more devs if we wanna come closer to rl tibia, or not stay in this rut.
And seeing as of today, and what has been for a while. There haven't been any new good devs that ive heard / seen. During 2013 ive seen alot of Summ, if he hasen't changed his name during this year, Ninja. Otherwise its been just alot of newbies in the support board that has joined us for more "download-and-run" servers.
Let me make it clear, when you started playing RL Tibia I was already running an Otserv, so don't try to be a Master in something that YOU DON'T KNOW.
Let me tell you that the FIRST time I saw the mount script in Tibia was in 8.1 gentleman. SO DON'T TRY TO LOOK LIKE SOMEONE WHO KNOWS ABOUT WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT, because you clearly don't know.
If you don't believe me FUCKING SEARCH IT or ask someone who's been here for a long time, ok?
The devs left because they know OT are dying, and it's true also Tibia is dying, 2D Games are not the same as before, 3D games are taking over more and more, the problem of Tibia is that it didn't improve that much in graphics. (I've been playing since when it had that wallpaper of the woman in the village) and yeah, tibia didnt change a lot, in perspective, it could have stayed 2D but a little bit more 3D like the new Pokemon games are doing, you know what I mean? Search it.
2 things could happen if your ''God'' (Mark) decides to retire:
1) OT would stop devleopment and eventually would die.
or
2) Development would slow down a lot, and eventually people would get interested in development and start working on that.
Let me remind you that Mark wasnt the first person to develop Ots, yeah there were more people.
So before your fingers starts typing in the keyboard what your anus thinks, use your brain, Please.
And never, ever, say that someone joined in 2013, I have double, no, triple, the experience in Tibia and Ot that you have, and Im able to use my brain when I type something. Learn how to use it. Please.
Oh yeah, and Happy New Year.
