Birthday Bash: Events and Activities

Happy Birthday Tibia!

Tibians,

We did it! 20 years of Tibia! We are super excited and grateful to have reached this huge milestone together with you.

Tibia has come a long way from the moment the Alpha version 1.0 was launched on January 7, 1997. Albe logged into the game only three days later as the very first Tibian, and since then, millions have stepped into this magical medieval world and became a part of it.

Let's celebrate Tibia's 20th anniversary together and make this a special and memorable occasion for all of us!

Here is a short overview of the festivities that await you during the next weeks:

January 05 - 31

No birthday bash without piñata smash!

Visit Thais and get in the party mood as you walk through the decorated streets.

We recommend to stop by at the sorcerer guild. Who would have thought that Muriel has taken a fancy to needlework for this occasion? Collect old rags from cyclopes, wolves, trolls and bears and stuff piñata dragons at the magical sewing table. As soon as the they are filled to the brim, it is time to party for one hour: Piñata dragons will come to life at several spots around Thais. Grab the weapon of your choice and start hammering the cuddly creatures until they burst and shower you with treats. Ferumbras' candy hats and chocolatey dragon scale legs are delicious but they almost look too good to eat, don't they?

During party time, the experience gain on your world gets increased by 15%. Once the party is over, you need to feed the empty piñatas with cloth again at Muriel's to ring in the next round.

January 07 - 31

Fun times on Vigintia, good old times on Nostalgia!

Look for Kendra south-west of Thais near the Open-Air Theatre, she will gladly sail you to Vigintia, the perfect island for a birthday bash. It is certainly worth a journey since you can also access the island of Nostalgia from there. We have marked points of interest for you on a map so follow us as we head out on a little exploration tour:

Once you have arrived safe and sound on the shore (1) of Vigintia, head straight up to Vigintius (2) to find out what the island has to offer and to listen to some of his very own recollections of the past.
If you are ready for some action, ask Vigintius about a game of can toss. Take a few steps to the North and try your luck at the can knockdown (3) stall. Aim precisely, click at the right moment and see how many cans you can hit with one shot. Talk to Vigintius afterwards to get a reward. Will you go for the main prize, a special anniversary cup, or do you rather fancy a retro costume bag? As you are about to turn back time at your next destination, a classic outfit would only be fitting. On the eastern shore of Vigintia, a long bridge (4) leads over the water.

Take a trip down memory lane as you visit Nostalgia. This island is a tribute to the past, a throwback to the earlier days of Tibia. Enjoy the memories that arise while exploring the isle, all the while tugging at your heart in a most nostalgic way. If you want to take your Nostalgia experience up another notch, we suggest to stop by at a very special PvE arena to indulge in a replica of classic dwarven bridge luring (5). Fight against hordes of one of the most feared and beloved creatures of the past. Some of them just love to be lured, so pay close attention! In the end, will you have what it takes to slay Queen Nostalgia? After a good battle, relax and breathe the rich air of history and culture as you wander through the Nostalgia Exhibition (6) close by.

Continue your tour as you visit the old ship that sits peacefully in the southern bay and then venture out into the wilderness towards the Tibia Spirit Peninsula (7). Pass the water mill on your way and say hello to pigs, wasps, spiders, wolves and bugs that look remarkably old. Feeling courageous? Deep down in the bowels of the earth, a hideous creature with many eyes is lurking. If terror strikes your heart, make a run for it and retreat to the graveyard (8) in the northern part of Nostalgia. This place is not as scary as it may sound. Some of the tombstones may even provide valuable insight...

Once your hunger for nostalgic moments is satisfied, return to Vigintia. Enjoy a refreshing swim at the northern beach (9) before heading westwards to visit Lora (10), who has a small surprise for you depending on the age of your character. Last but not least, approach Vigintia's southern beach, a paradise for treasure hunters.

Ask Vigintius for access and buy a shovel from him if you do not have one at hand. As soon as you enter the treasure hunting (11) zone, you have 90 seconds to dig for buried treasure. Who knows what treasures were buried here by the sands of time, forgotten and left to decay? Whatever you unearth may not be as shiny as it once was but it will still make a nice souvenir to adorn your home.

You'll never forget your first dragon!

Rumour has it that new clues about the first dragon that had direct contact with humans, Garsharak's son, have come to light. Being the chatterbox he is, Vigintius may know a thing or two about it so make sure to squeeze out any bit of information he has to share.

Embark on an adventurous journey across the Tibian lands as you search for traces of the First Dragon and his descendants, the ancestors of dragons as we know them.

Will you be able to discover their whereabouts? And even more important, do you have what it takes to face these legendary creatures? Find out if there is more to the tale of a beautiful festive garment that once fell into the claws of the First Dragon and has been lost ever since.

May we ask you for a dance of steel and magic?

Do you remember the tibianised Cipsoft members who appeared during the festivities of Tibia's 15th anniversary? Some of them are back ingame to challenge you to a fight. Show them what Tibians are made of and get your hands on a 20th anniversary backpack while you are at it. And let's not forget the cake, of course.

Fire up Delany near the chilly city of Svargrond, test the strength of Bolfrim and Siramal in Stonehome, keep your wits about you when facing Lionet deep down in Fiehonja, paint Vengoth and the Outlaw Camp red as you teach Penciljack and Lyxoph the art of fighting, and don't forget to take revenge on Mirade and Rejana in the Orc Fortress for all the poor souls that were killed by the CM raid during the 15th anniversary celebrations. If you are in the mood for some great stories, visit the enigmatic Knightmare in his prison cell in Thais and or join Solkrin for a cup of tea in Venore's swamp troll dungeon.

Miscellaneous
  • Besides the ingame festivities, a special contest is about to start soon that gives you a chance to win a legendary item: 20 shields of honour are up for grabs! More details about participation and rewards will be pulished next week so stay tuned!
  • Later this month, 20x 2 months of Premium Time will be raffled among the best guessers in guesstimation poll.
  • Last but not least, several Store products will be available with a 20% discount off their usual price during January.

This amazing journey started 20 years ago and we are looking forward to continue exploring and adventuring together with you, Tibians!

Thank you for making Tibia the special place it is, a place like no other, with a loyal and passionate community like no other.



++ Long live Tibia! ++
