Hi Karain, what's up? Is someone still alive on 2019?
Let me introduce myself, I'm Ismael, you can call me Isma, I'm a 25 guy from Mexico, I've played tibia since 2006, then I went from classic tibia to Ot Servers, and I got in love first of Kiwi Server, did someone play on that server? and then of course I played on RPG Forge Of Elements and I falled in love with it.
After RPG FoE closed, I decided to open my Ot Server, I was a young kid of 14 years, with no programming experience, but I did it, I created a Mexican Ot Server, based on RPG FoE, I had some hundreds of players online but was very unprofessional, it was online for almost a year and I had to close it because of hosting issues (I had no experience on computers).
After almost 10 years I'm back, I'm a professional programmer, since I studied Computer science and I have my own software company. I remembered the old days and the fun of making an OtServer, so I decided at this point of my life to make a new Ot Server, there are so much questions I'd like to share and discuss with experienced owners such as Karain (RPG FoE) or Kiwi Dan (Kiwi Server), since a lot has changed on tibia.
I have some milestones.
