50 Answers from the Product Managers
From April 20 to 21, the community took the chance to ask their most burning questions directly to the product managers of Tibia. The questions touched upon various topics, like PvP, vocation balancing, anti-cheating measures, rule enforcement, technical issues and many more. The most frequently asked questions have been answered, each individually by one of the three product managers Guido, Craban or Skyrr.
In this month's featured article, we will reveal their answers step by step, about a dozen of them every week! Newly added questions and answers will be placed on top of the old ones in each category. A Q&A counter indicates how many of them are already published, and how many are still to come.

Jean Pierre Has Found His True Gourmets
ore than 1,000 recipes, ranging from heavenly delicious starters to terribly corrupted desserts from hell, have been submitted to Jean Pierre's recipes contest last week. Since so many of your ideas were stunningly awesome we presumed to change the contest a little:
Instead of 3 winners, there are now 4! Our content team spontaneously decided to award a top prize each to the best idea for a starter, main dish, dessert and drink. The top prize now includes 90 days of free premium time, one dish made of each winning recipe and, of course, infinite fame when the winner's recipe is added to the game!
Further, there are 3 CM tokens to be handed out to players who achieved to win a community manager over with his or her suggested recipe.
So who are the shining gourmets who have been picked by the content team and awarded a top prize? Here they are:
Best Starter: Coconut Shrimp Bake by Natalya Rimsky,
an exotic rice dish with a touch of red and brown mushrooms.
Best Main Dish: Blackjack by Adray Del'Impro,
it is like a stew that looks rather aweful, but it is pretty tasty and vitamin-rich.
Best Dessert: Demonic Candy Balls by Hitogedgy,
delicious dreams of sweetness with some unpredictable effects for those who dare to eat them.
Best Drink: Sweet Mangonaise Elixir by Exaga,
a kind of powerful magical liquid that works perfectly with rings.
And here are the community managers' choice awards:
CM Mirade voted for Zaoan Dragon Rolls by Alegard
CM Rejana voted for Creepeers Sweet Mango Suprize by Alexena
CM Ogrey voted for Squirrel Pie by, well... Squirrel Pie
Congratulations to the winners! All prizes, except for the dishes, will be awarded within the next days. The dishes will be sent to the winning characters' depots right after the summer update.

Make Room!
Are you tired of arranging runes and potion backpacks for hours before heading out on a hunting session? We have an idea on how this could be solved so that you can spend your precious time with real hunting instead of packing your stuff.
With this year's summer update we would like to make potions and runes stackable so that you can place up to 100 of each in one single slot in your backpack. Thus, you would gain plenty of room in your backpacks that you can use for other stuff. The weight of runes and potions would be increased a bit so that the capacity occupied by a stack with 100 potions, for example, would not be any different to the capacity you now need to carry 100 potions in backpacks. Furthermore, runes would not be chargeable anymore since you would be able to neatly place them in a stack.
Do you want to find out more about the idea we have in mind? Then check out the new developer note on the discussion board and tell us what you think about our concept. Please carefully read the short summary of our idea before you start posting there.

Content Fixes
Some content fixes were implemented with yesterday's server save, for example:
A staircase was added at the Yalahar cathedral to offer an alternate exit to the nightmare garden.
The corpse of the dead fire overlord was changed into elemental ashes so it can also be used to summon the fire overlord during the Elemental Spheres quest.
An alternate ladder for access to Ab'Dendriel tree houses was added and a tree branch was removed to prevent blocking of this area.
A rope spot in Edron Dragon Lair was changed to mountain ramps to prevent roping of the dragon lord.
It is no longer possible to use costume bags from the costume event while a character is in invisible state.
A deadend in the Treasure Hunt quest was fixed so players can no longer get stuck by using a firebug on the "Old piece of paper" again.
Players who are not able to unwrap furniture parcels anymore just have to go in and out of the water or use a portal of citizenship in a temple to fix this problem.
Also, today's client patch removed the Ctrl+Enter shortcut to open the report dialogue box. Please note that you can still use the shortcut Ctrl+J to report an illegal character name. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all players who gave us feedback concerning this issue.
If you want to discuss the latest changes with other players, leave your comments in the thread Player Discussions: Content Fixes.
Enjoy!

Further Reporting Options
The second upgrade of our rule enforcement system is almost done. Since this year's spring patch, all players are already able to report offensive names directly to our customer support team. In the course of the following week, we will release an additional client patch which further extends the players' possibilities to report ingame offenses.
Botting Reports
If you suspect another player of using unofficial software to play, you will be able to report this player to us. All incoming reports will be processed and then analysed. The evaluated data will be used internally for our anti-cheating measures.
Rest assured that bot reports cannot be abused by players. Reported characters and their accounts will not be excluded from the game due to any unfounded accusations. Only if there is sufficient proof for illegal activities, appropriate measures will be taken.
Public Statement Reports
In addition to name reports, players will be able to report illegal statements from the public chat channels. This will allow an easier and more straightforward reporting of inappropriate chat behaviour to the customer support team. However, public statements shall only be reported if they are clearly illegal. Please understand that reports of minor offenses might be rejected.
Note that until further notice, statements in party channels, guild channels, private chat channels and the default channel as well as private messages remain unaffected and still cannot be reported.
In order to make a bot report, public statement report or a name report, open the context menu by right-clicking either on a character or a statement and choose "Report Offense". The current regulations to avoid the spamming of reports remain. Further details can be found in the FAQ as soon as the client patch is released.
