Well to all you guys claiming the real map sucks.
Why are there tons of people playing Tibia, because as example they like the map!
Why are there tons of people playing OTs with a real tibia map, because they like it as well.
Now you guys just go and tell the map sucks, while no one ever in OT - History made a bigger, nor better map than CipSofts. Belive me, I really do know what I'm talking about. Cipsoft spent a couple of years for their game. We spend like a year or even less for an OT, so how should it be better?
If you want a bunch of players really fast, then I hardly suggest you to use a real tibia map. It's the most attractive. If you really want to achieve something, go ahead and create an awesome big and costum map. With alot of quests and such. To climb to the top you'll need a lot of time and advertisement, but once your famous, you're server will be overpopulated
. Sinteria as example runs really really good, the map isn't that fantastic, but it just delivers a good game play. That's what players search for.
