War servers (vanished?)

[Tico Newgate]

I was just wondering what happened to all the old 1/1 warservers...

I remember a few years ago, the world-war servers were pretty famous and had usually over 200 ppl playing. Some had the option to get an own account if you had enough frags (then you could choose your own name, own addons and on a few servers you could play the next day with the lvls your earned the day before -> exp save).

On some of those servers there were also other events, like a running event (reach the flag the first while walking through corridors with different mobs). There was always a mapchange after 10-15mins.

A bit later the teamwar server started up, which was cool and had a nice design: they even provided some extra stats on their site: like kda, top spree, ... It had also more professional detection (& active gms) than most of the smaller warservers: no mcers, balanced teams, ...

A few years later the karamy war server started, which didn't compare to the old warservers. Less people, a few weird maps, many didn't like the frag and map system, private accounts - donations, ...

Some pics from teamwar server:

I have seen a few that have been on but not enough people playing.
I think it shuld be possible to make one if you advertise enough(expensive)

Not so popular anymore. People prefer rl maps and the servers on first page on otservlist. Advertise alot and waste cash and you might get players. Notice I said "might" get players. Not even after advertising you are sure to get players.

Most popular servers right now are 8.6 rl maps (elfbot) and 10.xx rl maps (xenobot / rl tibia with better exp rate)

Man these were the best! I remember having so much fun back in the day.
You could easily log on whenever you wanted and start warring. You didn't have to worry about making teams, leveling, getting items, etc...
All you had to do was 1/1, pick a character, and BAM you're good to go. Good times.

Problem is the same with all servers and it all ends up with - money.
Who wants to pay 100-200eur just for the host each month to keep a server alive?

If it was the "good old days" id be happy to pay 10-20eur each month to keep a GOOD server online. But that is no longer posible due to DDoS attacks etc.

It's easier with rlmaps since people don't seem to care *as much* about donations there.
Unless you can find an investor for an evo / war server it's really hard to survive, no to mention the always low player amount.

That is also a fun thing I can add in, everyone complains about rlmaps but why do the FEW evos / war servers have like 0-5 players?
It's rare to see a server like that get over 100 players atleast.

7.5/7.6 world war servers was the best!

I played every single war ot that existed since 2008 and in early stages karamy war was the most popular one (1050 players online) + so many years active. Community changed and no one play this game anymore . 2012 RIP.

People grew up and don't have time for tibia anymore, it seems. Back then, most people who had just found out about OTs were in their teens (like myself and my family).
