31/10/2009 Autumn 2009 Patch Teaser #2
Character World Transfer & Further Changes Welcome to the second, and final, autumn patch teaser 2009! Last week we gave you a first look at the island of Travora, the future starting point for character world transfers. Today, we are going to provide some additional information about this island and the new feature for which it was created.
Making character world transfers will not be possible immediately after the patch release. Nevertheless, you will be able to travel to Travora and prepare your character for its great journ...
Two of the most powerful guilds on Antica are currently fighting for power! Bey declared war on the Twenty Thieveshere. Though Bey proposed to fight using the war system, apparently they have not yet been able to come to an agreement. In any case, it should be interesting! Follow the (current) official war thread here!
You all must be aware that the patch is a bit late, and the website has updated its time to completion to 4:00 CET (10:00pm EST, 7:00pm PST). Patience is a virtue!
As announced on the official website, the patch is being installed now! It is anticipated that the website and servers should return to full activity by 23:00 CET (5:00pm EST, 2:00pm PST). After this point the world character transfer service should be available for use. Remember that it costs 19.95 euro for each transfer.
Ready your courage, spells, and weaponry, because the new war system is about to go in place! Good luck Tibians!
A Lightbearer Public Tour? (updated by Fluffy Sparklespears)
Basai is putting his best foot forward in preparation for the Lightbearer Event. He's planning to give a tour and explanation of how the event will work on Friday, November 6. He says, "...the Lightbearer Event is a community event that encourages group participation. Since Amera will need everyone's help to make this event a success I am offering a public meeting/walkthrough for any interested player." He points out one thing that players from every server truly interested in completing this quest should keep in mind:
Please forget your differences during this event.
Other servers might want to consider doing something similar before the event itself, if possible! Interested in more information? Check out this thread, and good luck to every server who makes a real effort to complete this quest!
New & Noteworthy Over @ Tibia (updated by TibiaNews)
Three updates from the official News Page over on Tibia.com
Retiring Gamemasters...
On November 2nd, the gamemasters Taghor, Blitzwing, Xadam, & Kajala have resigned, joining the ranks of senators. We'd like to thank them for their help and efforts over time, and wish them good luck for the future.
Where Oh Where Was The Halloween Hare???
Hidden in a pile of leaves, the Halloween Hare was sleeping and snoring peacefully. It took a few good shakes to wake him up and after a couple of yawns and stretches, he reluctantly told us what had happened. Guess what, he ate too much candy and got sick. He fell asleep, his belly full of yummy treats, and overslept Halloween! But there is no need to worry. He seems to be fully recovered and true to his vicious nature, he soon scampered off into the distance with a battle cry, threatening to ravage both Rookgaard and mainland. Halloween may be over but the wicked Halloween Hare is on its way to Tibia. He should arrive November 3 and will haunt you until the next days' server save!
The Autumn Patch (finally) Arrives!
On Thursday, November 5, the autumn patch will be released. Due to the complex changes, all game servers and the website will be offline from 12:00 CET until approximately 23:00 CET.
Bloodiest War Ever On Secura! (updated by Miu Alastor)
As you all know (and probably tested on the recent testserver) the war system will soon be implemented! Wars will be possible everywhere, even on the current non-pvp servers. For this reason, the Securan Guild Alliance decided to organize Secura's very first REAL war. The bloody battle will be fought between the royal armies of Thais & Carlin, which promises to result in a truly epic struggle! All characters of level 10 are welcome to join a side and wait for the day the protective curtain of "non-pvp" will be lifted forever! More information can be found in this thread.
Have you been wanting some new kinds of raids? Something a lot more challenging than a orc raid or one of those ever-so-boring nomad raids?Eifia has proposed just that! With his "natural disasters" proposal, he proposes 7 different challenging raids, some cities share the same raid, but for the most part each city has its own. An example is given using the city of Thais - it's an interesting concept! It might sound odd, but have an open mind and go here to find out what happens in the raid! Check it out!
Hatin' on the Snap-back (updated by Impulse Purge)
"Snap-back: Due to the no-blocking changes, if you walk against another character now on any server, your character will initially move and then snap back, just like when you try to enter a house to which you are not invited. This effect is wanted and not a bug."
There is a discussion of this new feature on the forums - is it useful? Horrible? There have been reports that some players have even experienced headaches from it. Others claim they can't play properly or even walk through Thais because just the effect hurts their eyes. Craban has made a reply on the thread, but it's still open for further discussion. Care to join in? Take a look here.
Look at any forum on the official world boards and you're likely to find a discussion of the upcoming Lightbearer Event, a five-day challenge on every server. The discussions range from personality differences to server-wide organization. This is an event that relies on teamwork & trust - Will any server finish this quest successfully? There have even been difficulties with the "test runs" on the two testservers. You can find that on-going conversation here. The rewards are promised to be worth the challenge, but only time will tell if success is within any server's grasp!
Professor Inocencio Girafales has made a proposal about creating a new game world where Rookstayers would rule. This world could be named Rookera and would only contain the island of Rookgaard. If you would like to join him in his way of "Ending the Rookstayer plague that ravage Rookgaard" or get more information check out this thread.
Soon Halloween will be upon the lands of Tibia! There are countless events, competitions, raffles, lotteries, & parties in celebration of the holiday! If you're tired of testing and looking for something to do, check out the Event Board, on Tibia.com forums to see if there's a hauntingly fun event on your server!
