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.
