17 Apr 2024 - Rule 3 has been updated with a new entry: "Players who are complicit in cheating by aiding, abetting and/or consciously profiting from illegal actions of other players, may also be punished with 7-day banishment, 14-day banishment, 30-day banishment with or without a final warning, or permanent banishment, depending on the seriousness of the violation and the Player's criminal record." - This doesn't really change the way we enforce the rules, because such cases used to be punished as "destructive behavior". We decided, however, that it deserves to be stated explicitly in the Rules.
We also updated Rule 6.: starting from Apr 25, the automatic auction bans will be twice as long.

There is no free spawns at all, making the spawn faster is not fixing the issue of map lacking big major city and its spawn in form of Ankh
Map is too small, if you want to keep this playerbase you need to act
Of course, when there are so many people playing, the best and/or most popular hunting spots are almost always taken. That's not surprising. And of course the map feels populated - and that's how it should be! A very populated map is also one of the most nostalgic memories from old T***a, it's only good if we can revive that feeling in 2023 (and back then it held twice the number of our peak time on daily basis). You need to consider that you can't have both at once: a very populated map/server with the best spawns free at your wish. No matter how big the map is, there's always a number of spawns that are better than the others, which will therefore be occupied the most. As long as you only stick to them and find the other spawns unworthy, you will always have this struggle. Otherwise - there's still plenty of spawns not being used right now, if you only care to look for them. I can say that because we have a good view on the map to see what spawns are actually taken or free at any time.
As for the "lacking spawns from Ank": there are no original tombs, right, but there are custom spawns in Ankrahmun and Aruthang. Also, the respawn rate at 400 online equals that which real T***a had at 700 online. So these all together cover a big part of that "loss", while there's still significantly less players than back in the days.
I also think that this map i little bit to small for so many people. Of course even when it will be bigger also all good spawns will be busy, but there will be more options for exp. I think Tombs could be really good, or maybe port hope?? I understand is nostalgic but most important is climate of old Tibia, bigger map dont destory it. So please tell me there is any chance to change that map?
They could revive the island of Calcanea and put the Giant Spider there. Also the demon on Mintwallin. Two new hunting areas without going against the nostalgia proposition of this graphical multi-user dungeon.
