Dear Players,
The New Year is not only a season of wishes and solemn vows, but also a time for reckoning and remembrance of the year now gone. Rich with experience, it brought forth events that tested and engaged us all. As that year turned, the first bold souls dared to face the obliteratorsāan ultimate challenge that had awaited its hour within its own realm for nearly five years of mortal reckoning (human years, that is, for in-game years are far more numerous

). This was but the first of great discoveries, for some months later the first explorers at last uncovered the entrance to the mythical ancient structures left beneath the desert of Kha'labal by a long-forgotten race. It was also part of the content that had long awaited its moment, and for the community it marked a breakthrough that ushered in an era of further discoveries.
In the meantime, we published a detailed
article outlining the process of planning, creating, and aligning custom content with the original 7.4, both in balance and lore. Then, in the middle of the past year, a completely new update ā
Depths of the Abyss ā was released, bringing with it new monsters, locations, quests, and long-awaited new client features. Later in the year came the traditional
anniversary celebrations, once again bringing together veterans and newcomers alike, before November saw the release of yet
another update, considerably smaller and previously unannounced, while still introducing several new additions.
These were, of course, not the only changes, as throughout the year we were, as always, also working on improving cheat detection and implementing numerous backend enhancements. But that's not allānext Sunday we'll be sharing news about something we've also been preparing in secret for quite some time. The moment of reveal is now close at hand, and we hope you'll be looking forward to it as much as we are.
That said, it's important to remember that it is youāthe playersāwho, through your shared experiences, play the greatest role in shaping both the content and the history of Tibiantis. That is why, once again, we thank you for allowing us to witness them, and await many adventures still to come in the new year!
