What kind of server would you want to play?

[Zorenia]

Hey everyone,

I’ve been out of the Tibia OT scene for a while now, though I’ve still been playing on and off over the past few years. Tibia has always had something special for me a lot of great memories from back in the day. I’m definitely not the kid I used to be when I first played Tibia, but somehow it always manages to pull me back in.

These days I work as a developer, and I genuinely enjoy building things. That’s why I’m considering jumping back in and trying to develop an OT server again. A lot has changed in the OT scene over the last 4–5 years, so before I fully commit, I’d really like to hear your opinions.

If you were to start playing a new OT server today, what kind of server would you actually want to play? I see a lot of x1 real servers. And there is just nothing to play (what I personaly like)
The client versions I enjoyed the most were around 7.4 / 7.7. I’ve been thinking about a project based on that era: a custom map and storyline, mechanics that stay close to 7.4, but with some light balancing between vocations and possibly a few quality-of-life features from 7.7 (for example, rods or similar additions).

Is this something the community would be interested in? Or do you feel that kind of server has been done enough already? And people only want nostalica and want to play real-tibia servers. (I feel like a lot of great 7.4 servers are not running anymore, people sick of it ?)

Building a proper OT takes a lot of time and effort, so I’d rather avoid launching something that only three people log into on day one. Any feedback, ideas, or inspiration would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance, would love your guys input! Let me know what kind of server and exp rates u would like to see

I personally always played 8.6 custom servers when I was younger and still do. There are few popular 10.98 evo servers around that can be fun as well. Rl maps are popular but can be hard to compete with the already existing servers. That said, I recommend building something you genuinely think is fun and exciting. If you’re not enjoying the project yourself, it’s very easy to lose motivation along the way especially with how much effort an OT server takes.

Thanks man! 8.6 yeah great version also! I really liked the addon (first update) and the balance AS for pally. Weapons for knights and hotkeys. A lot of frustrations from the 7.4~ were gone. Personaly I also quit around that period from real tibia. So I have basic knowledge of 8.6 features, but not enough to recreate a 8.6 realmap server for example. Thanks for your reply! appreciate it.

I’m a bit biased as an old player, but I genuinely loved Tibia until version 8.1. The introduction of potions completely transformed the game’s dynamic. It was a pivotal moment for Tibia, and today it’s essentially Pay-to-Win. That is why I’m currently working on a unique 8.0 project that aims to reinvent Tibia in the spirit of classic Tibians. The latest version of Tibia, however, boasts several commendable qualities and offers a plethora of enjoyable features.

I get what your saying. I think I am on your side, for the same reason. Thats why I always love to play a good 7.4/7.7 most of the time. And sometimes I go for a 8.0.
