Hello,
ever since i played Tibia in the past (current version is very bad)
i can't find a mmorpg even close to it, and i still feel a hole unable to fill.
some games came a bit close, like albion, runescape (style), runes of magic with the pve + pvp style it also had open world and loot drop etc, but basicly no game can hit the spot Tibia in the past did.
it was for hardcore players, and i ment there was griefing possible too.
but in a way that it was also manage able and that it added so much value to the game.
the core basics were:
you lvl up playing pve (killing monsters etc)
you LOSE lvl when you die
lvl 60 could beat lvl 20 easy so lvling up is worth it (no lvl cap)
you LOSE items when dieing so yeah the pvp was intens (bag and sometimes equip pieces)
there was a skull system white skull 3 kills max a day and people can attack you without negatives, red skull for 30 days when you go on rampage and then you lose defends and lose all items etc
open world pve + pvp.
anyways without explaining the full game,
the combination made it HARDCORE, like the game MENT ALOT. it wasn't like oh i don't care, every thing you did had meaning.
the PVE was worth it alot because you get stronger in pvp, and the pvp ment alot because you could dominate in pve.
there was ALOT social interaction because the game was fully alive, PVE teams, PKing, ambush groups, big wars between guilds, people trying to dominate the world, sneaky people creating secret account to counter, just ALOT things going on. and EVERY thing you did had meaning.
from looting good items, to lvling up your char, to finally hit you being strong to use it in pvp, just everything quests too.
yes it was for people who could take a punch, it happend alot that you spend time lvling up and then dieing losing lvl and equip. but that only creates the meaning and value of the game. you could even spend a month lvling up and then picking a fight with the wrong guy who had alot friends and you could become Hunted (that they follow you everywhere you go to kill you).
anyways, is it possible that Ashes of Creation makes a server for more hardcore people?
i just can't find a game even close to Tibia in the past.
my heart
i miss it so much.
seems mmorpg's cant hit the spot of PVP and PVE COMBINED anymore, like albion too much pvp looking like LoL and WOW just only PVE (with soft pvp like area's not open world and not losing lvl and items)
you needed skill in pvp, but for me personally the fun was too that you could just become stronger in pvp by grinding pve, like even if a lvl 20 had skill you could easy kill him as lvl 60.
that hitted the spot too that the combination pve and pvp was worth alot.
Pewdiepie video about Tibia: /watch?v=RqGnkfDhmtQ
and just watch some Old tibia youtube video's to get the idea.
please just one company make a game like this, comeon all game makers are so bad these days.. CIPSOFT (makers of Tibia) also got greedy and ruined the game milking it.
they also made it possible to not lose items in pvp later and that ruined so much too.. making pvp way less worth it and therefor not really worth pve anymore since yeah you lvl 100 now what, for what puprose did you lvl up..
just the combination pvp and pve you don't see these days anymore.. yeah albion comes close but it's basicly soft version and idk, seems more then LoL then mmorpg to me.. i think because they lack lvl system i hate it, yeah you can lvl up those weird systems like lvling up gear, but man that is boring.. i prefer so much just lvl like seeing a lvl 80 on your screen and go oh shit better get out of here or watch carefull where this is going.
or you being lvl 80 and seeing a lvl 40 thinking you are the boss and then his friends show up 5 ppl of lvl 40 and they go after you. the thrills man!
the game did not have good graphics, but that does not care AT ALL, since the intensity of the game was so high your imagination did the rest.
tbh, i even like the graphics over those high quality mmorpgs.
made it simple and clear.
so yeah, PLEASE, just one company make a game like Tibia, for god sake, there is a market there for SURE, Tibia was in early computer days not like today and people got hooked so much, they had premium system (worth it to pay money for) like some bucks each month. and how many people have computers these days and playing games for sure a company is missing a diamond in the market here.
all these games today have so little meaning, Tibia HIT the golden spot that it was so much worth and meaning.
okay my rant is over,
byee
