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.

Re: What is wrong with tibiantis client?
Hi. Scanned .zip file i got off your OTS page. Question is - why the heck most of scanners show trojans out there. It is not single case so i would not definitely risk saying this might be a false-positive read. Anyone up to explain this rationally? Cheers!

Re: What is wrong with tibiantis client?
You did not include any information as to what scanners you had used, so it is hard to relate. But it is not true that most of them report alleged trojans. Some do, but it's a minority, and yes - in all cases it is false positive. It is not uncommon for many AVs to automatically flag software from an unknown publisher just in case. Whenever we are reported issues with any AV, we always notify them about false positive and request a wider analysis. In most cases it results in removing those flags, but some AVs have a very poor support that doesn't even care to answer. So, whenever you use those online scanners that include dozens of AVs, you should bear that in mind that not all of them are necessairly reliable. Also, those flags may reappear when the client gets updated and the signatures change.
To answer your title question: there is nothing wrong with the Tibiantis client. It has been used by thousands of players weekly for the past 4 years. If it does not speak to you, then I probably won't be able to convince you, so just don't use it if you are afraid.
Wouldn't be cool to do something about it? Like explaining it oficially?
Most of these AV's use same engine, that's why they have same detection name. Besides, it's pure heurestic detection (false-positive), which is normal. If engine detects that executable is downloading files from internet (like our updater) then it's mark this executable as potentially harmful. Within those almost 4 years we have contacted AV's many times with whitelisting request, but as Kay said part of them never replied to us due to lack of support.

It's 9/64 to be exact. My post already explains what we are doing about it. I can't see a reason why we should be commenting "officially" on why some unknown Chinese AV flags our client and doesn't respond to our requests. Anyway, you can consider our replies here as official.
