Real maps must die for the ot community to come back.

I couldn't agree more.
Well, it depends. Some people may want it, and others may not.
I just personally wouldn't play a real-mapped OT.

real map gone= lots of player gone= community dies faster.

wrong. the people on real map servers arnt coming ot otfans, and if they are they arnt participating within the community (which as far as im concerned means they might as well not be coming here). so if real maps die and they do infact leave which i predict would be unlikly for a mass exidus to occure, then nothing would logicly change besides the fact that theres less servers to play which means those servers get played more.

also, people dont give a damn if its rl map or not, they just want to play the same style. if playing on a real map sever is all they cared about then we dont want them anyway and they can leave and go back to cipsoft for all i care. the simple fact of the matter is these people are bored and they know how to fill their time and bordum, with ots. if theres no real maps to play then these people are going to find the closest thing to it, which is a custom server with a similar play style.

@Summit: Obviously you're trying to accomplish something that many of us here have been too weak-hearted to step up and do by ourselves for a long time now.

If i wernt whole hearted about this then there would be no point in starting a thread, would there? besides its such a simple little thing to do, i just need the community to open their eyes and realise that there IS a way to fix this and that it CAN be done if they just do a tiny bit of work. I figure if i can lay the ground work and get the ball rolling all that will be nessesary is us nudging the ball back on track from time to time and let it build on itself. the only problem is theres so many nay sayers and people who want it but think its SUCH A DAUNTING TASK that its a simple impossibility (as if i were trying to break the laws of physics or something).gravity is impossible to manipulate, people are easy to manipulate assuming you know which buttons to push.


Now then, I've explained away any arguements aginst this so shall we get started or are you going to sit there with your thumbs up your asses untill the little world you have left comes crumbling down?

A start would be to make it unable to make threads about real maps, for an example in advertisement or at least share them into groups. Real maps | Evolution | Custom | ETC
That would make the custom ots more visible and maybe gain a bit more players?

Nothing is going to be done. You're not the only one who has tried to change things around here. I find it highly unlikely that Talaturen will even consider banishment of "real map servers". Why? Because they attract people, and people keep OTLand alive.

Oh, I almost forgot: Talaturen owns a real map server - ShadowCores - he obviously likes them.

Then how about sharing all the maps in different groups?

We could possibly also start up a "little" crew that would be able to ddos the real maps til their death, but that would be a "bit" of work.

As i've said, we cant expect the mods to help us on this. Theres no way for us to make those threads unreadable, the only thing we can do is tell them how terrble of an idea it is to make a realmap server or flame the thread till they leave.

As was said multipul times already, we cant expect the mods to help us on this so it has to be done from a community level. perhaps you should actually read the thread before mashing that reply button. Also, had you actually read the thread you would have seen my explantion as to why people that play rl maps dont frequent the forums and people tha make them only come to beg cry and pleed for us to fix their stuff for them then leave.

Targeting real map servers isn't going to accomplish anything, except further dissolution. As I said in my earlier post, we should focus on other aspects.

Do you actualy read this thread or do you just pop in from time to time to say something thats already been explained away, I mean its only 2 or 3 posts down. As far as other asspect (this time ones that i havnt already used logic to deal with) point them out because as far as i can tell you have no new input.

If ANYONE has a better idea on how to deal with these help vampires (you know, the ones on the real map servers?) that come on here and suck what they can from us before leaving (ones we can actually do something about) then im all ears. untill then theres only 2 options, this way or sit around and do nothing untill everyone is gone from the forums.

Then how about sharing all the maps in different groups?

DDOS'ing is a highly illegal activity, not to mention difficult with the safty protocalls (Packet request denial) around today. I will not be taking part in it nor will I admit to any knowledge of those acitivities being done. sidenote, you can be tracked when ddos'ing a server. (Ass coving 101, plausable deniability)

I recommend you read my posts again as well, you seem to read part of them and respond with a disagreement. If you're referring to my constant reminders of how targeting real map servers is illogical and not the solution, I remind you yet again - read my post(s), preferably until you fully understand them.

Go against copy right is also illegal and there is always a way to keep anonymous when sending packets. However that is not the best solution in my eyes right now.

An other idea is to trying to shutdown all these real map files that is being uploaded, just by sending an message to the upload/download company by saying that the file goes against copy right usually makes them to take down the file.
 
I must agree with Merks, Rush and Gamer. Unless a custom server is as unique as elf's was, I would rather play a real map RPG before any custom map RPG.

:wub: elf ^_^
 
So, you guys, who love real maps, basicly play the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again? Instead of that, why not play a custom map which is still the same yet NEW!
 
Get realmap servers to advertise, OTland.
;)
For every hoster that has ever leeched, put a global message that is sent every hour or so (We all know you use them to spam the crap outa your Ots to donate and what not) advertising this Forum.

I also read somewhere (I skimmed the posts) that people come here because they didn't like the direction CIP was going, am sure this is 100% wrong, yes possibly some of the newer members, but i've been lurking here since 7.8 while i was still playing realtibia (Found OTs purely by accident, though started Tibia many updates before that), but was interested in playing on different maps & reaching levels i had never gotten before.

We honestly need a custom OT that keeps the essense of what rltibia is, none of the wood chopping/mining bullcrappie (Go play Runescape) but adventure, questing, boss's & PVP, global, add territory gain for guilds.
Why do custom servers not capitalise on Tibias hottest thing? Pvp. Take out the use of bots, by putting in server side, mwall timers etc which would make everyone happy no?

I think people are too busy trying to make something different than Tibia, they're practically making a different game.

I've stuck around Tibia this long, because i enjoy TIBIA, yes it's interesting to see what other people come up with, different ideas (most of them you got to admit come from other lame games, Runescape - MU online) which are all cool & fun, but no matter how many times i see them, i still play tibia because i actually enjoy Tibia for what it is, and if you don't actually enjoy tibia, why are you here :s
