About a week ago we broke the record of online players - 465.
The official history of records until now presents as follows:
04 Apr 2020 - 397 (the first day)
16 Apr 2020 - 411
26 Jan 2022 - 421
27 Jan 2022 - 424
01 Feb 2022 - 427
17 Feb 2022 - 438
30 Jan 2023 - 465
We call these "official" records because the last one has already been broken (17 Jan - 442), although it hasn't been officially noted because the online list is refreshed only as often as every 5 minutes.
On this special occasion of setting the new online record, we decided to share some statistics.
465 characters were connected* from 457 unique IP addresses (8 IP addresses were shared by 2 characters each).
* - 1 character was actually disconnected at the time (via exitting the client), but still online in the game

Note: There used to be more detailed live statistics on the old website. Some players, however, justly pointed out that such information could be used to track alt chars. Hence, we now only share the statistics on special occasions. By the way, the online list refreshes only ever 5 minutes for the exact same reason.
Of course, regardless of how much we are pleased with each new record, we don't consider them a goal. Our highest priority is always to have a real, active and unique player behind every character.

any plans for a second server?
I hope you will find the following answer exhaustive
We would love for Tibiantis to offer more worlds, and we've been open about this from the very beginning. But as we're always saying, this cannot happen at the expense of the existing one. That is why we'd like to state: settle your nerves and fear not - the original server is not going to be forgotten, it's still important and worth playing on. No other world will be launched until we can be certain that we have the capacity to manage all of them, while still providing the same high-quality service, and that the community is able to maintain a certain level of activity to all worlds. Until then, we're refraining from making any detailed plans. That is why you should not expect new worlds any time soon. However, if we were to think ahead, we'd be considering only such worlds that differ from the existing one, so that they contribute to growing the community, instead of competing. The differences that we have in mind might include the PvP system (PvP, Non-PvP, PvP-Enforced) or the location. So we're dismissing for example another PvP server for Europe. Moreover, due to balance issues, we're also excluding worlds with rates other than x1, so we're not considering for instance a x2 server. The only acceptable exception might be - we're not saying that it will - a seasonal high-rate world, that could be launched for promotion purposes as sort of teaser of the existing long-term (x1) world. Do not, however, expect permanent long-term worlds other than x1.
Most of the questions that we get about new worlds are about a server located in America, and a Non-PvP server. As for the latter, setting and enforcing a proper policy regarding blocking out other characters might pose some difficulty. Both types of servers are possible. However, as stated before, we do not have any specific plans yet.
