What do people like about Real Map OT servers?

[DrakenWarrior]

What draws people in to servers such as NoxiousOT or ShadowCores? What sort of suggestions can you give me that will lure players to enjoy the server (Besides a VPN)

Helps theyve been around for forever.. only rl map i've ever played is shadowcores, as i know its 100% perfect. pretty much not a single bug. And it will be around probably 5 years from now. I'd say its almost more likely to be around 5 years from now than real tibia

Idk whenever i play rl maps i only play if they have added more custom islands + have very good pvp damage balance for a ot.

I find it's a feeling of greater control over the game you're playing, knowing that it isn't run by cipsoft. Knowing that the right server is run by an experienced team who cares what their players want, and are able to fairly implement and balance features by popular vote.

Any offline game can be modded to suit your desires, and online games usually don't have any room for personalization. If you can create one that fits the style of real tibia, but also allow for great new features that introduce dynamics that other great games thrive on, while maintaining the best possible balance and not creating a frankenstein's server, I think it can be a long-term success. The key is balance, not just of vocations or damage or PVP, but a balance of everything from style of play to available features, not too few as to lead to boredom on "just another real map" but not too many as to cause an almost anxiety-like feeling for players that there's too much to do and distract from the main goal which is ensuring people enjoy playing and doing so together. Create a community that thrives on itself.

Hopefully these points are helpful in your pursuit.

Agreed!

Some ppl like to play multiple games and so they've less time to invest in an otserver. The point is also to find and maintain balance between hardcore and softcore players, while still giving the regular hardcoregamer the advantage he deserves for investing way more time. A complicated alchemy & mining & upgrading system (with chance to fail) doesn't give anything to softcore players (it's boring to figure out the system of every new server & it costs time).

A realmap helps cuz you don't need to search for mobs and quests, ppl already know a lot, they feel at home and can immediately start doing what they like. Creating extra islands etc or modify the tibia mainland with extra caves (which is cool) opens up a new dimension to the more adventurous players. This way you keep the balance between adventurers and ppl who like a more static map.

And I guess ppl also play real maps cuz it let's you play cip's game for free and at with higher rates.

Because it's in 70-100% real tibia (depending on server), but with faster progress and you don't need to do all these boring quests on some of servers.
It's good alternative for guys who don't want to pay for Premium Account in tibia.com ots, haven't got much time to play or are tired of DDoS and new shitty updates which always come with bugs.

I ask myself this question every time I see someone advertise a rl map

 

[Jacobs]

Because people played real tibia.
They know the map, so it's similar to them, + bots usually work if the map is in correct place.
People tend to be lazy to learn new custom maps and then create own bot scripts for them.

Personally I like the feeling of exploring uncharted territory.. It sucks that not many people create custom servers like that because they want to be lazy too and host a real map

Personally im puking on rl map servers, searching only for custom map, custom features.

These servers are rarity today
Usually when you find one, it's so chaotic, bugged and lame that you are puking on it more than on rl map.
