You had said the ad campaign, was the reason for the server population increase.Where did I say it attracted players from all countries? I said that the advertising brought some new players, which was one of the factors to set the online record at the time. What does it have to do if they were Polish or from other country?
Which you are implying it brought 200+ people to the server. One would assume your ad campaign would want to target your audience. Your audience is not solely polish but since this ad was ONLY in polish, one can assume it only targeted poles. So you are saying your ad campaign brought in 200+ polish players? XD thats absurd.
Im sure some are alt chars. The difference is, there are 10x more potential "alt chars" than actual main chars that play. So even if ALL of the makers are alt chars, only 10% of them are actually hunting on a main with those runes. That itself is silly to assume because who would make runes on an alt, only to never shoot them. Theyre are also 40-50 that I can personally vouch for as vzl rune sellers as they have either msgd me in game when I played or they msgd others who I played with.Where do you have that information from, that all those characters below level 36 are playing for over 5 months? And how can you tell that none of them are alt chars of some higher level guys to make runes on?
And let's ignore the fact that we changed the requirements in the meantime. Facc cannot own houses any more, and guilds require 5 characters of level 30 and higher, rather than 20 as before. Of course it had no impact on freeing the houses, right?Remember when I mentioned confirmation bias?
Go walk around your server for 15 mins, and observe with your eyes the actual beds that are filled. Data is great except when you have no context behind it, it is not a viable point to fall back on.
We aren't failing to provide it, myself and recreant actually went through our cams after you asked. There exists multiple open battles that include 80+ players and one that even has you yourself writing a red msg that appears to every1 about the total number of online players has had a new record set. The number is not your current record, but falls short by only 20~. So yes, in that sense you are correct. An open battle is not responsible for the CURRENT online max count. It did however on multiple occasions, have broken records on days of open battles.I'm sorry but we do have enough data to say it wasn't because of some alleged open battle that you guys fail to prove that even took place.
Surely it must be the video that you yourself claimed attracted players, even though the product you showed was not your product..... nor was it a product they buy. That guy plays rl tibia. Not oldschool. Nor did he even attempt to salesman the product you sell, so SURELY it must be what attracted so many people.

In the words of your ankrahmun NPCs "You fail to grasp the wider context". You as usual, will focus on a single flaw instead of the actual point. You cannot break a server record, unless a HUGE amount of your player base plays. War teams were a big part (upwards of 25%).
The servers online count is at its lowest its ever been, and you continue to post without any basis in reality. The best part is, with this community of addicts, when you release ank, they will in fact return. If you make a HR server like you propose, youll have a very popular server.
tl;dr : Good server. Terrible admin/owners.
