Hey there.
I often think about how crazy it is that the Open Tibia will soon be 20 years old.
Even though I have followed its development since I was a kid, I know very little about its roots.
It's as if the "founders" of the project, the "proto-community" didn't exist.
I don't know about you, but that makes me feel kind of sad...
Tibia's playerbase has been shrinking for some time now and as consequence Open Tibia's has as well.
What frightens me is that as this trend continues (and I hope we're able to revert that), all the stories, the people around it, might be lost forever. OTFans for instance is dead (regardless of what you might think, it was a very large part of the OT community). More and more we've seen abandoned accounts...
A wish I have, and I think that's not only me, duh, is that before it's really too late, we gather as much information as we can about the project. Fri istori plx !!1!!1
It might be a sentimental opinion (how could it not be?), but I think this effort is worth it.

I know I've been tagging some of you and that can be a pain on the neck, but whether you want it or not, you guys are a very substantial part of this community's history... And yeah, I might not know everybody who has contributed to it, please don't be offended. (I mentioned I was a kid back to when I started into this, didn't understand things clearly then).
Also, I'm not excluding ""regular members"" from this, not at all. Some of you might have stayed unnoticed for some reason (maybe you were a kid like me, or is shy, might've gotten busy). Every piece of information is valuable, so if you got some story on how things came to be, share them with us!
I'm aware that it's weird that an old account is suddenly posting all around, I'm really sorry if I'm being inconvenient, but I do it from the bottom of my heart... Had to put it out, heh...
Thanks
