Call for Heroes

A new continent, new challenges.Strange allies and a looming threat were only the beginning.What seemed like a victory was merely the foreplay of what is to come.Now the stage is set for a confrontation of epic proportions.

There is a plague that ravages the land and poisons its very soul.And once again, heroes must band together to fight destruction, to turn the tides of fate.Brave adventurers mastered the challenges a new continent had in store.But while they bought their allies some time,they will soon become embroiled in an old struggle for more then mere powerand suddenly more will be at stake as they ever imagined.

They will be challenged by powers beyond those of mortals.They will have to face a seemingly invincible adversary and his endless armies.Will they be able to stop an unspeakable ancient evil before it's too late?Will they triumph and survive or perish into oblivion?Will the hordes of enemies feast upon the slain heroes, heralding the inevitable doom?The shadow of the dragon is rising.History is in the making.Be a part of it... this summer.

Chill and Grill Up Now!

The Chill and Grill thread has been opened now, so this is your chance to ask your questions to the product managers!

The thread will stay open for 24 hours, so don't wait too long!

TibiaCast illegal or not?

It's a question that has been asked before: is using TibiaCast, the program that allows people to watch live broadcasts from other players, a rule violation or not? Could you get banished for using its software? Mirade's answer to a similar question might reassure a lot of uncertain players:
'... we consider it similar to Tibia cams. This means, players don't get punished for using it but we don't support it and advise players not use it since we cannot help them in case of any problems caused by the tool. So players use them on their own risk.'
So, you can continue broadcasting or watching broadcasts without having to fear to get a banishment. However, TibiaCast is NOT supported by Cipsoft, so posting links to its website on the public boards or channels is still against the rules!

First Ferumbras Victory on Unitera

Some days ago, the combined force of the Uniteran guilds Old Empire, Noah Il and Chair Kids accomplished something that hadn't been done on that world before: defeating the powerful wizard Ferumbras in his own citadel!

Even though the wizard's hat appeared to be stolen, it's still a remarkable achievement! A congratulations thread has been made here.

Zaneran Football Tournament

Rainbow Warrior from Zanera wants to organise a Football Tournament. But he still needs teams that wish to participate. Teams consist of 3 players, and joining the tournament costs 15k per team.
That may sound like a lot, but the winner will be walking home with 150k and a golden goblet for each team member. So, if you are in a for a nice match, then sign up now!

Happy Birthday ... To Us!

That's right, today is our anniversary! No less than 6 years ago, Tibianews appeared as one of the first Tibian fansites. And we've been around till this day. The last two to three years, we've had a rough ride and there are still some bumps in the road, but we're getting there. Only recently, our long promised website update finally arrived. Now we're working hard to put everything in place.

And we've learned our lesson! Instead of making a bunch of promises we might not be able to keep, we will just promise you one thing for now: daily updated shortnews. That's our birthday present to all our readers! We thank you all for the patience you've shown, sometimes even when we didn't deserve it. May there be many more years for Tibianews to come. Now let's have a part-eeey!

Inquisition Quest Disaster

Today, several players that joined an Inquisition quest service on Secura were struck by disaster. Of the 30 mules, 12 died! Even some members of the killing team didn't survive the slaughter. The organisers of the service say it was the fault of another guild who lured creatures. Regardless of what really happened, this should remind us that NO inquisition quest service is fully risk-proof. In the presence of archdemons, death always lies near!

Incubix The Story Contest

That's right, yet another new contest is coming your way! This time organised by TibiaMx and TibiaCubix, you are asked to continue a story about Orcs and Dwarves. But not just by writing it down. You are supposed to make special cubixes, do a puppetshow, record it and send the movie through e-mail. Interested? Then check the following page about Incubix the Story for further information.

Chill and Grill - Starting Soon

The question and answer session with the product managers Guido, Craban and Skyrr, fittingly named "Chill and Grill", is almost about to start. Next tuesday, the 20th of April, a thread will be started on the discussion board in which players can post their more pressing question. From among all these questions, 50 will be picked. The answers given by the product managers will appear two weeks later in a featured article. If you still have more questions before it starts, post them in the discussion thread.

War System - Battle for Improvement

re you a warrior but the current war system does not give you what you are looking for? Are you up for challenging PvP fights but cannot find any thrill in the current war system? Do you think the war system needs to be improved? Whatever it is, tell us your opinion about Tibia's guild war system in our new feedback thread on the discussion board.

Let us know what the system currently lacks, what needs to be changed or added so that you can fight epic PVP battles. We have provided a template with questions in the starting post so please make use of it when posting in the thread since that will help us to better evaluate and analyse the feedback.The feedback of this thread will be evaluated by the developers and will have a direct impact on the further development of the war system so don't miss this chance and share your thoughts with us. Are you as skilled as you are on the battlefield when it comes to explaining to us what your are looking for in a war system?Let us know!Your Community Managers

Help Us Choose an Intern!

s you probably know, Tibia updates are usually packed full of new content such as new areas, monsters and items. So in the months before an update release, our graphic artist Jan is always busy with making new ingame graphics.

In order to ease his workload a bit, we decided to hire an intern who will mainly be responsible for creating new monster sprites for the summer update. From all the applications we received, we have now selected the three most promising candidates who convinced us with their extraordinary talent.

However, we think that the final decision should be made by you, our community. Therefore, Jan gave the three artists a special task in order to prove their skills to you: Draw a dragon!

And now it is up to you, Tibians! Below, you can see the three amazing masterpieces but which one do you like best? Which artist should help to create the new monsters for the summer update?






Tell us your choice in the feedback thread on the discussion board! The thread will stay open for 7 days and we will then count the votes and announce the winner. Please keep in mind, though, that double posts will not be counted so think carefully before making your choice.

Choose your favourite artist!

Chat With the Product Managers

Have you ever had a question you wanted answered not by a tutor, gamemaster, or community manager, but by the product managers who are directly responsible for determining the direction Tibia takes? A new article posted on the official homepage today spells out how this might soon be a reality.
The idea for said question and answer session is tentatively being referred to as "Chill and Grill". A thread will be created at a future date to collect some quality questions that will then be answered by members of the Product Management team.

For further details please check out the article and! Don't forget to post any feedback on the dedicated thread on the discussion forum.

Server-traveling Merceneries for Hire?

A curious request has been seen on a few server forums. Busco nuevos horizontess (apparently a posting character) and his team wish to move to a new server. Presenting themselves as skilful mercenaries and claiming to have fought in four wars, they ask the leaders of each world to be accepted in their guild.

Will this be the newest hype ... bands of travelling mercenaries offering their services to the highest bidder to be part of leading guilds? It could certainly cause major shifts in power if guildleaders can attract forces from outside their own world!
