Real or Custom (Your suggestion/comment is highly appreciated).

[JDB]

Hello OTLand members.
As the tile says, I am trying to compare these two types of maps.

Listen up!
Either type, if I were to host, would be greatly made.
Since I am going to spend a few hundred dollars on a map, surely the map will be perfect.
I want to make a server that is fun and will attract lots of people quickly...such as an RL Map most likely would.
Although if I were to purchase a custom map that is big and fun for players, that would be awesome.
Stuck between these two makes everything hard to decide...I kind of want to make donation money but I also want to have a great server and community.
That is my first goal. (Great Community).

So which shall I use?...

Note:
The server will be dedicated.
(Company still undecided...suggest that also)?!

If the custom map is good, I prefer custom. But if it's not good i'do rather play Real Map

Agree with Henkos, even if I don't really play tibia. If you get something good, maybe I can host it.

I have tried many times to inform Neon of my actions..on purchasing a great map, possibly from him.
He has never responded with a straight answer. I supposed I can search for other good mappers...
It's just I am not good at mapping whatsoever, so I have no chance with a server without a good map.

Custom Map with no Teleports like roxor or any of that map

1. Good Custom Map Without Teleports
2. Real Tibia Map
3. Roxor / Evolution shit ots ^^

Neon isn't the only good mapper in the OT world..

@Up,
That is true, though I love his style and motivation techniques.

@Topic,
More suggestions are welcome! :thumbup:

 

[Henkos]

If you are able to make a fully working real map with all quests, you should do that IMO, but why not get both?

 

[Nerglexo]

I prefer real map, but at THIS time, better with Custom as there are already like 100 real maps.

Well both is always an option later on.
And if I were to buy a real map, I would want one that is tracked very well like no other released here.
I'd basically be paying a tracker...

 

[Wezza]

as you stated you'll pay for a map, then how to revamp a real-map,
mixing edron with venore maybe, and similar stuff

so Real combined with Custom or revamped 100% real!

 

[JDB]

@Up,

nice idea.
Although I still need a mapper and a good real map...

 

[Rala Knighta]

Costum RPGish Map eace:

 

[Peroxides Cat]

Custom RPG map.

 

[JDB]

Most of you, if not all, are saying "custom map" but in my experience, real maps get more players and custom maps don't attract many people.

Isn't this true?
I guess this is in most cases.

RL MAP | 50-150 online| , 60% of them are botting 30% afk at trainers, 10% Not botting or Skilling At trainers

Custom MAP 40-80 ppl online25% Botting~, 40% Trainers rest of the ppl playing manual

well depends on what u want

 

[JDB]

I want an active and large community.

I thought about the scripts & quests

That was my problem for months, I can script but when it comes to mapping.. I'm horrible. But I found a mapper Even tho I have to pay for it.. im not that worried
