Tibia

[Higher Game]

I'm a fan of this MMORPG because it has had explosive growth lately, and the growth of GMs hasn't grown well with it. It has a strong Laizze-Faire (spelling, I know) feel to it. Few NPCs buy rare items, so the economy is very much self-regulated. An intelligent guild can actually corner a market, if they learn to take over a hunting spot (which leads to war, of course). :twisted:

There is no level limit in this game. This is balanced by the fact that pvp involves a lot of skill, and a team of level 60s can bring down a level 100+ character if they know what they're doing. Hunting anything stronger than a dragon must involve teamwork. Tibia, therefore, has a strong sense of community. It also has a lot of room for role playing, for people who don't like the powergaming mindset. And, with no level limit, powergamers are welcome too, but this isn't really that fun.

I enjoy the pvp of this game the most. It's very well balanced and entertaining. The death penalty is steep, so battles involve a lot of strategy. The world is huge, of course, and there were even some new quests added with the last few updates.

www.tibia.com is the web site. It's free, but you don't have to wait to get on a server if you pay. Paying also lets you go to a few new areas. It's much better than EQ2, WOW, or whatever the trendy MMORPG is these days.

I really love the Alpha Conspiracy remix of that Beatles classic.

Boredom. I'm gonna make a new avatar.

 

[Jed]

The tibia and fibula are the two bones comprising the lower leg. The tibia is the "shin bone."

What's the current avatar from? Maybe Fez will make you an avatar if you ask him. :twisted:

I usually dont care for graphics to enjoy a game. I loved runescape and ultima online for along time and those games dont have any decent graphics. But when i tried out Tibia it was so horible that i couldnt stand it longer than 10 minutes before i turned it off and never ever wanted to play it again.

It's just a picture of a Southern Heavy Gear.

Haris, you were probably on n00b island, a tutorial stage for beginners implemented about 3 years ago. There are a lot of idiots there because it's non pvp and you can't kill thieves and looters. It was created to stop the flood of level 1 thieves and pks on the mainland. You have to get to level 8 to get off the island, and you're sent back if you're killed down to 5.

It only takes about 3 hours to get to level 8, then you're set to go to the mainland. That's when the game really begins!

 

[Haris]

That would explain why i wasnt able to pick up stuff or do anything mmorpgish there. And yea it was about 3 years ago.

 

[Higher Game]

Tibia was much smaller 3 years ago. The game world is about 50% bigger now, Rookgaard included.

 

[Ausir]

Looks too mangaish to me.
