Team The Forgotten Realms

[Sam]

Greetings everyone!

Are you tired of joining projects that just shut down and NEVER succeed?
Would you like to be a part of the longest on-going project in OpenTibia at the moment?
Would you like to be a part of one of the most unique servers that will dazzle OpenTibia?
Would you like to work on an organized and effecient "get-things-done" team?
Then The Forgotten Realms are for you!

It's that time again! TFR is finally hiring new members, as most of our staff team has randomly died off.

If you are interested in joining our team and participating in one of the to-be biggest servers in all of OpenTibia history, nows your chance. We have been up and going for an amazing 2 or 3 years! I can't even remember when we first started. We are based on Ere'nath's map with a few modifications. We are probably one of the most organized projects you could possibly join, there's only benefits for you; the member! We have our own forum in where you'll have access to tasks, to submit work and it's all for fun. Have your ideas made into real!

If you are truly excited about joining this project, here's some position openings for you; quoted directly from our website:

Mapping Team
If you are an experienced mapper and would like to join the mapping team, you will have to see if you meet the following requirements and then write an application:

I never said it would take 2 years. I'm saying it has taken 2 years from the beginning of the project.

The project should take around 6 months to complete if workers are doing well. Maybe even less!

 

[Sam]

I will be away from today until Tuesday night. Please feel free to submit applications with examples and I will review them upon my return.

 

[Sam]

Maybe the most important thing at a project.

Like a GM? All our staff members will receive some sort of staff position in-game, so we don't need more. If it's the case when it opens, which I highly doubt, dedicated players may be promoted.

Thanks mate. We are in heavy planning stage atm, so many ideas going through my mind I don't know where to start. At least the map is pretty well done.
