I have no doubts that a large bulk of there players are botters and mc's from the botters, they screwed themselves i believe mostly in the Svargrond update, where the damage increase made it a lot easier to kill things, hence a lot easier to bot and gain large amounts of money. I recently quit tibia, but before then bot a lot, and its really crazy how much money you loot, even though I did it due to playing manually got boring, then quit after botting got boring. It's really amazing how many people in tibia bot, and you only have to look at BugWT on neobot forums to see how much tibian and rl cash he makes from selling scripts, he will make more than cip soon

So I would be so interested as to how many of those "active" players are players...
I can't even imagine where tibia will be in 10 years, I don't think it will be gone, but have no clue where it will be... Aren't CipSoft making a new game too???!?
