My definition of the certain
Tibia MMORPG. This definition is completely neutral.
Disclaimer: Just kidding.
Tibia is one hell of a game to say the least. I got as high as
lvl 24 before I finally quit. I recently took a look at it again. Then quit 45 minutes after reinstalling. Lets throw some facts out about
tibia:
1) Tibia is from some german university students, and they
dont give a fuck about YOU.
2) The "US" servers have successfully been
hijacked by south american players, so learn
portugese today.
3) You can play on different country servers, but since it
lags on "US" servers, be prepared for 5 second click
delays and lag deaths.
4) Even the new anti-PK measures are shit, so your going to get hours of work training deleted by high levels everyday.
5) The last topic is about the disgusting community around tibia.
So lets analyze. In #1 we talked about the creators. They really just want tibia for a
quick buck, and thats what its been like. And now they are a big company who still don't give a fuck about you. In #2 we talked about the take over. The north american servers are 90% portugese/spanish so if you dont know those, your going to get raped. Its funny I find mostly englsih speakers in pay-to-play games and thenf
ree games are totally packed with barbarians- i mean brazilians. On to #3, it was self explanatory. #4 I talked a little about the PK problem. The time it takes to hunt in the high levels is completely insane. You really need to be unemployed and have a premium account to play after lvl 30.
For #5 we have the community. So let me explain. You have 4 types of players: The Otakus, The Hardcore, The
Newbies, and The
Cheaters. See their traits below, maybe see which you are.
The Otakus
These are socially rejected scum who live at their parents. They have come to tibia to find some friends. They generally play 16 hours a day. They spend most of their time chatting, hunting, and basically trying to make them selves seem respectable.
The Hardcore
This group s like the otaku except they may have a
part time job and their own place. They put all their spare time into tibia, often
getting close to 16 hours (at least on weekends and holidays). If you are a
lower level, they don't give a shit about you so its best to try and let them have what they want before they send you back a few days of work.
The Newbies
This
caste generally consists of south americans who cant figure out the game much past hitting monsters and basic swear words. These players are found spamming sell and trade. If you have money they are your friend, if you dont, they are swearing at you and saying "
Jajaja". Luckily the Otakus get stuck helping them out.
The Cheaters
Chances are you absoultely hate
cheaters. But
if you think about it, why not cheat (in a MMORPG)? Who is smarter? The guy with no life playing 16 hours a day, or the guy using a program to play the game 16 hours a day? Often cheaters are normal people who would rather watch a movie then grind on monsters. The social awareness of cheaters help keep the game from falling apart.
All in all, there are much better games out there. Tibia will kill your dad and rape your mom.
Cheating:
Tibia has several hacks, the main ones are light hacks (to see in caves and at night), multi-client hacks, and other
assortments of hacks. 99% contain trojans so there is little need to worry about being outdone by
cheaters.
