n order to meet the changing needs of our aging player base, we have brainstormed and pondered long over how to improve usability for this demographic. Today, we are proud to present you with the results of this elaborate study:

Are you hard of hearing? No worries! Nothing is going to change for you! Is your eyesight waning? No worries! We are introducing a new geriatric-friendly client version:

Not only will you be able to switch out the dark stone slab aesthetic for the comforting beige wallpaper of your living room, but you will also be able to make use of your new greatest friend and ally: the zoom. This widget works as a magnifying glass, allowing you to enhance certain parts of the game, e.g. parts of the game window, the sidebar, console or the action bars, so that you may never misclick again with those stiff fingers of yours.

But that's not all! We will also introduce new game worlds for our senior citizens, where everybody takes things just a tad slower, be it NPCs, monsters, or players.

As you can see, there is no need to fear any rambunctious whippersnappers in those places. Everything and everyone moves about at a dignified pace.

Get comfy in your rocking chair and enjoy the new client,
Your Community Managers

ear ye! Hear ye! An icy bridge reaches toward an isle of frost and hidden fire, with cold-hearted monsters grim and dire.

A cold storm is coming from the north. The howling wind whispers stories of an old and forgotten frozen island. What was once a lush and beautiful paradise is now an everlasting ice desert dominated by various kinds of monsters. Deep down inside the isle and locked in ice, a once so proud race - the ursagrodon – is sleeping and vigilantly waiting to be freed again...

From today, April 01, on until May 01, the island Chyllfroest will be accessible once again for all premium players. West of Svargrond, an icy bridge has formed. This bridge makes it possible to access this special island. You will find different dungeons with various creatures for different level ranges there.
If you are exploring Chyllfroest deeper, you might also find one of the famous frozen ursagrodons which can be thawed and tamed with some luck.

But be aware: Rumour has it that yetis have been seen on this island, before, too.

Enjoy spring, froest is coming...

ear players,

the feedback forms about the new best-in-slot items have been analysed and the pieces have received their preliminary stats.

Due to the sheer volume of content which the summer update 2020 will bring you, we have decided to take things a step further than just hosting a dev note: Instead, we want to talk about the items in detail now, with the stats that are currently planned for them. This will free up time needed in the external test. Four threads have been opened in the forum, each one dedicated to the items of one vocation (Druid, Knight, Paladin, Sorcerer). Due to the extraordinary circumstances, a developer is going to post directly in the threads.

There is still going to be a thread about the best-in-slot items in the external test forum, but it will only be used to gather additional feedback and not be frequented by developers since their attention will be needed elsewhere.

We have also prepared an FAQ for you where we answer pertinent questions, so please make sure to give it a read before you comment in one of the threads.

Until April 7, 10:00 CEST you can share your opinion, suggestions and criticism regarding the new best-in-slot items with us in the comments.

See you in the forum,
Your Community Managers

ear Tibians,

recently we have registered a heightened interest in Tibia and would like to accomodate this with the following measures:

Starting tomorrow on server save, Premium accounts will receive a +50% XP boost during their first three hours of stamina instead of only the first two. The regeneration rate of green stamina (between 39 hours and 42 hours) has been lowered to 6 seconds per 1 second of stamina instead of previously 10 seconds per 1 second of stamina. After logging out, you will need to wait 18 hours and 10 minutes to regenerate the full three hours of green stamina. The increased green stamina regeneration also applies to the stamina regeneration in resting areas. This will last until server save on April 30 when stamina regeneration and XP boost hours revert to their previous values.

Moreover, Double Daily Reward Month has been extended until the end of April and the transfer block of the following game worlds will be removed tomorrow: Nossobra, Ombra and Venebra.

Have fun in Tibia,
Your Community Managers

re you ready for the first double loot weekend in over two years? Then get your backpacks ready and make room in your depot, for much loot is to be gotten!

Between the server saves of April 03 and April 06, you have the chance to collect double the amount of loot from every monster you kill. Do not forget to check your prey bonus as well or you might miss even higher drop chances on your prey monsters!

To full backpacks and good loot!

ue to the recent rise in player numbers especially on South American game worlds, we are going to set up two new South American game worlds tomorrow:

Open PvP: Xandebra

Optional PvP: Pacembra

These worlds will be protected by BattlEye and will be blocked for character world transfers for a significant amount of time. Please note though that depending on how their populations evolve, it may still be possible that these worlds will be opened for transfers or even be merged with other worlds at some point of time.

Not only Premium accounts, but free ones as well will be able to play on Xandebra and Pacembra right away once they have been set up.

To new adventures,
Your Community Managers

ibians,

We are going to release balancing changes for two hunting grounds tomorrow.

True asuri will receive an experience buff while the Warzone V creatures cave devourer and tunnel tyrant will be nerfed in both loot and experience.

Check the updated announcement for details. The changes will also be announced in the client tomorrow.

Good hunting,
Your Community Managers

ear Tibians,

due to a copy-paste blunder we unfortunately had to restart four of the feedback forms about the best-in-slot items, specifically the ones about the new wand, rod, bow and crossbow.

Originally the feedback form asked for an opinion about elemental damage, when the question should have been about elemental protection. This has been rectified and we would kindly ask you to fill out the forms again.

Thank you for your understanding,
Your Community Managers

ear Tibians,

as recently mentioned, we are going to introduce new best-in-slot weapons in the upcoming summer update. Moreover, other best-in-slot equipment will be released as well. It will be truly challenging to obtain it, as the new hunting grounds and bosses are beyond current game content in difficulty.

We would like you to tell us your opinion about this gear. There is a feedback form available for each of the new best-in-slot pieces. While you can fill out all of them, we kindly ask you to focus on those that are interesting and relevant to your main character(s). Please note that a level of at least 250 is needed to participate.

If you have further comments about certain aspects which you can not express through the feedback form, feel free to comment in our forum. Due to the current state in development we cannot answer specific questions about the gear, however. After we have evaluated all the feedback, there will be a dedicated dev note for the new items in which you will get a more detailed overview.

Rest assured that besides this high level content, the summer update will also bring new questlines, hunting grounds and bosses which are easier to access. Their difficulty will range between Grimvale and the Order of the Falcon, and a few new pieces of equipment will be available through them as well.

To new frontiers,
Your Community Managers

ear players,

the item rebalancing which we announced last week has now been implemented in the game. You can find a list of all changes that were made here, in case you have not looked at them yet. Thanks again to everyone who contributed constructive feedback.

As we mentioned last week as well, there will be feedback forms available asking for your opinion on best-in-slot weapons which are to be introduced in the upcoming summer update. The forms will be available in the next days.

Have fun in Tibia,

ear Tibians,

due to the recent outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and its rapid spread throughout Germany, we have recommended our co-workers to work from home from now on, if their physical presence is not mandatory in our office building.

Curbing social contact in the following weeks is mandatory to avoid unnecessary stress to the German health system. We here at CipSoft are in a privileged position to be able to let most of our employees make use of home office. We hope that we can thus contribute to alleviating the situation.

Tibia's game worlds will keep running, this is our top priority. Operating and maintaining the game is not at risk. We will do our utmost to also ensure that the development of Tibia will be affected only minimally if at all. We apologise in advance for any inconvenience which might arise due to problems resulting from this situation.

Stay safe and healthy,
Ben and Steve, Managing Directors of CipSoft GmbH

he wizards Furb of Fun, Feiz of Power, and Fern of Nature are back in the land of Tibia, competing for the votes of the Tibian citizens. You can now decide again who is the most popular wizard among them in your game world.

Starting with today's server save, various monsters will drop envelopes with red, blue, or yellow powder. If you want to know how to colour yourself and mix colours, check the letter that is included in the envelopes.

If you are interested in further facts about the event, please check with the wizards' loyal fans: Friedolin, the fan of the orange wizard awaits you in Carlin. Paulette supports the violet wizard and can be found in Thais. Representing the green wizard, Nathaniel stands in Venore.
During the competition, you will receive bonus points, which you can trade with these three supporters of the wizards after you have chosen your colour.
Use the bonus points to get your own chess box if you did not possess one yet. If you have one already, you can complete your set of Zaoan chess figurines made of jade and obsidian.

Time to decide which team you go for since each of the three offers a different special reward. Depending on the wizard with the most followers on your game world on March 23, server save, your world will benefit from one of the following rewards for one week:

• Furb of Fun (orange): The shared experience bonus in party mode will be raised by 30%. The chance to successfully sculpt from ice cubes and marble will be multiplied by 10. Also, fireworks rockets, party trumpets, snowballs and party hats can be found in all the creatures which dropped envelopes.
• Feiz of Power (violet): The majority of spellcaster creatures such as ice witches or draken spellweavers, for example, will give 25% more experience points. In addition, the skill bonus of berserk and bullseye potions will be raised to +7, and the shielding decrease will be set to -8 instead of -10. The magic level bonus of mastermind potions will be raised to +5.
• Fern of Nature (green): All health and mana potions will be enhanced by 10%.

Happy colour mixing!

new outfit has been added to the Store today!

The Trailblazer is on a mission of enlightenment and carries the flame of wisdom near and far.

The everlasting shine brightens the hearts and minds of all creatures its rays touch, bringing light even to the darkest corners of the world as a beacon of insight and knowledge.

Once bought, your character can wear this outfit anytime. The outfit is purely cosmetic and does not bestow any benefits.

Dress up and light the way!

o you want to party like there is no tomorrow? Ready for some fun activities? Then you are in luck, as Orcsoberfest is right around the corner!

It is time again for the orgers to get their fill of all the food and beer you could ever dream of, while diligent orcs work tirelessly to ensure that no plate and no stein is ever empty. Gain festive points by engaging in numerous activities, partake in the lottery to have a chance at winning great prizes or try to satiate King Chuck's voracious appetite in exchange for a reward.

As of server save on March 13, a tent will appear south of Thais. Inside is a teleport which is open to any Premium player, bringing you to Orcsoberfest island. Talk to your friendly neighbourhood orger Xaver first after your arrival or directly engage in the activities if you are not one for conversation.

The festival concludes on March 20. During the weekend after the event (server save on March 20 until server save on March 23) all game worlds will receive a 50% XP boost for creatures of the "demon" bestiary class.

There have been a number of changes made to decrease wait times between the mini-games and new rewards have been added as well – King Chuck allegedly expanded his collection of plushies...

As they say on the island, meaning 'Happy festivities!' in Orcish:

Otsaf'tis!

ear Tibians,

it is finally time to rework some of the many items found across the game. Specifically, some of the weapons are going to be changed.

We have compiled a list with changes we plan to make on March 17. The list is available to you here, containing all adjustments. Please feel free to comment on any glaring problems you see with the new stats so that they may be addressed.

There is also an FAQ available in which we address pertinent questions and detail our motivation for this endeavour. Some changes to certain items are also explained in particular.

We are also planning to introduce new best-in-slot weapons in the upcoming summer update. After the release of these current changes, there are going to be feedback forms available where you can provide your feedback regarding this topic.

To arms!
Your Community Managers

n today's server save, the following fixes and changes have been implemented:

• When buying from an NPC, the bought item will no longer become deselected after a purchase.
• A bug concerning using "Join Aggression" in the PvP arena has been fixed.
• The price of items bought with other currency (e.g. gold tokens) is now given in that currency instead of gold coins in the cyclopedia.
• Black Bert now sells Uncle's letter needed for the Secret Service quest and a cask of brown ale needed for The Hidden City of Beregar quest.
• The items final judgement and shadow cowl are now categorized as "other" instead of "armors".
• A number of smaller problems like map and NPC bugs, typos and minor graphical issues have been fixed.

Last but not least, quotes will be displayed differently in the forum from now on.

Have fun in Tibia,
Your Community Managers
