The idea is to start off with the Tibia map before Ankrahmun was added (pretty much when I believe CipSoft took Tibia in the wrong direction) and from there begin with custom mapping and quests and so fourth.
The server will have the old damage system, without auto-aim (of course!), and the old runes and spells (old sds and UE are back
!). I have customized the sprites to look like Tibia 7.0 and also added some favorites from the old client (This goes for outfits aswell, of course addons will not play a part in my server. OBS! Not all items are like 7.0, water for example, which is randomized these days and very tricky to replace with old style sprites).
Why I choose to work with 8.6 and not a 7.0-7.4 server is because I was thinking that some features from the 8.6 version might be a fun addition to the older feel I'm going for (e.g. I got a war system in place).
As for rates, I'm aiming for a feel of level 100 being high level, as it was when I used to play. I'm thinking of adding some stages though, perhaps it being a litte easier to get to 50-60 and then it gets harder. And perhaps when you reach level 100 it will become even harder, so that people will be around level 100, (YOU will of course not be able to become level 100 in a day or two). Ideas about rates and so are very welcome, as I haven't decided. Same goes for skill/magic level rates.
And you will not see magic swords lying around the streets and so fourth, some items will be rare.
I could launch this server tomorrow but I want to make some final tuning and I very much would like your opinions on what you think would make it even better. And also, perhaps you have some name suggestions?
OBS! The client showing in the pictures is a personal project, in early beta stage (It's suppose to mimic the old client, but without losing any of the functionality of the new client). This will perhaps be released in the future as an OPTION to the original.
Yours,
George
