I played this server from day 1 launch, with a group of friends of about 7. The server was really fun while it lasted. Me and my friends played for over 10 hours a day for like 9-10 days, we were the highest levels, and had the most content done. We kept the other enemy guild offline every day pvp was enabled (thursday - sunday) so there is basically no pvp on this server. It's rpg.
However, this server will die. The entire time I play I wonder, why such a great server, with only 30 online? Then, I began to see why.
The admin Helipse is a complete piece of sh*t. The only thing he want's is to host this server for his 10 friends, who suck so much at tibia they need all the help they can get. Imagine coding a server for 15 years, just to host it for 10 people that suck at the game, all while pushing away players who dedicated so much time and energy into it.
A glitch was found that duplicated money, the day it was found all characters using the bug were banned (rightfully so). However 10 minutes later, admin is saying he will be auctioning their characters for Euro's. 3 of them were the highest level players, and played the entire time 100% legit for 2 weeks before finding the bug. All quests, all leveling, even the surpluss of money they had before the bug were legit. All players also donated Euros to the server.
Asking helipse what he will do about the situation, no one recieved a reply of any kind for almost a week. (I was not one of the characters banned or use the bug) only the admin would link his friends stream "come watch level 100 ek hunt heroes!!!!!!!" with his AMAZING VIEWER COUNT of 3. We had planned to stream the game for 150+, as it was really fun and our friends don't know about tibia.
Finally after countless messages and us quitting, Admin decides to tell us "i will sell your characters back for $10" After saying no, he unbanned the characters, took all money, all equipment, all quest items you cant get back, even took donation items. Even then, we said okay whatever we will try to play.
I showed a newb player I had met on the server a place where he can hunt for levels, all the while telling him about the area ( it was very far from town) and how to get back to town via portals, how to hunt, etc. I showed him our house in the middle of the spawn we liked to hunt (we had this house for like 8 days before the bug was found). I then left him to go do other things. Later my friends log on and say okay let's try to play, even with no gear or money. He goes to the spawn, and the portals back to town are now sealed with magic walls. And our house? Owned by one of his friends now, in the "new rank 1 guild" because he also deleted the guild of 10 people, which was rank 1 the entire time playing.
I haven't played a tibia server in YEARS, I started in 7.6 back in like 2006. I had a lot of fun playing this serv and made some good friends, but the way we were bullied, harassed, and attempted to be extorted by some piece of sh*t admin here, was enough for us to all quit. You tried to weasel $30 from us for a ban, tried to auction characters for real money, all the while we all were donators, so have fun losing your 50~80 euros a week!
This server if it had a new admin, would have EASILY 100+ people. But be warned, if you play here and aren't team with his friends, you are playing at a severe disadvantage, and will not be able to participate fairly. Did I mention his friends have a guild hall with a loot seller npc and town portals/mailbox next to all the good spawns, that they have from day 1? That they hide in all pvp weekend because they are dog sh*t at the game? Lol. That's this whole server in a nut shell. I don't regret the time I "wasted" here. I only regret giving benefit of the doubt to such a Trash admin. thinking in the end he would do the right thing.
Save yourselves time and potentially money, and go play a server where they WANT to grow and have more players, not this garbage server made for a team of 8 brazilian players only, all else are beneath them and not worth the time or fairness to play.
tl;dr Server has decent map, decent spawns, and music/sound. But you will Not be treated fairly by the admin, who has a team of 8 people who all suck at the game,and that's all he hosts it for. Will have less than 10 players in a few weeks.
Thank you if you read it all, sorry it was so long.
@helipse You suck. a better admin would have easy 100+ every day here. Next time, be FAIR to people who are playing your game. 1 person criticizes your server and it's bugs you refused to fix, and gives his opinions, (even if his language wasn't the "kindest") and you tell us all that auctioning everyones characters for real money is "now it's time for Karma"? He was the one with the most hours spent on your game, Legit playing, and you chose to be a total piece of sh*t about this entire situation.
