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!

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!
