06 Jan 2025 - Today Santa returned to his home on Vega. Christmas trees are also gone and cannot be bought from NPCs anymore. Along with these changes, several minor map fixes have been applied (e.g. a missing stalagmite in the dragon lair was re-added, it is now not possible to levitate in that spot).

Re: Listing the server on OT server list's
I recently started out on Tibiantis, I stumbled on it by accident. Someone on a forum recommended it. I know it is an old and well known OT Server already but since i dind't play for 10 years, I never heard of it before. So i checked all the OT server lists websites. and the server isn't there.
They player base is fine as it is, but how does Tibiantis attract new players? Maybe it is an idea to list the servers on all these websites?

Re: Listing the server on OT server list's
We don't want to be in any way affiliated with that website, as it is favors spoofing and is highly unreliable. Many servers on that list spoof their online numbers by faking their counter, adding zombie characters or purposely allowing multi-clienting/botting. We consider spoofing a scam, and we don't want to be put next to that. It is among our highest priorities to ensure that behind every character on the Tibiantis online list there is a living person and an active player. The otservlist doesn't offer anything to differ such servers from the rest - contrary, it works fully in favor of the spoofing ones as it ranks all the servers mostly by their (fake) online numbers. The buisness model of that website is straight based on pushing server owners to compete in those scam practices, because it makes money of it (you have to pay extra to be in the list if you exceed a certain number of "players" online).
Besides, it is obsolete and its advertising value is nowadays close to zero. It only exists because some hosters still believe in its advertising power. In reality, the vast majority of servers that advertise there die after a month or so. Tibiantis has been around for over 4 years now and is still going relatively strong.

Thank you for the kind words. On top of what I said, the otservlist also requires providing them senstive data, including the IPs of all the players online. It's not anything new, but it's been brought up recently again at otland, you can read my comment there.
