Tibia History

Back in the old times some monsters reacted different on the sources of damage. Giant Spiders for example weren’t immune to fire and therefore blockable by firebombs.

Trapping them was still very difficult because you couldn’t target them in the attack list. You had to run away, click on the rune, calculate the moving speed of the GS and then click somewhere on the screen trusting that the serverlag would not kill you meanwhile.

Some people could do this perfectly and even managed to trap many GS on the same screen. That’s where this picture was taken.

The summer is coming and it’s time to cool you all up a bit. So i digged up this screenshot from old times.

As the ice islands were introduced, CIP aded a nice feature to the world: snowballs

You could see many people farming the snowpiles to get 1000ds of snowballs.

While the majority of Tibians abused the snowballs for training purposes (Snowballs did no damage but counted on the distance skill) Tekvorian, Dagor Dragontooth and me build the biggest snowman in Tibian history.

Today in Tibia at the busy hours there are more than 50.000 people logged in at once. 70 servers guarantee that so many people can play. In the past there was only one Tibia, one Server and very few people.

From this time is that screenshot. Note the text in the statusbar at the bottom.

In the old times the GMs had no special GM chars to login with.

These were introduced in a special update.

Of course it was tested before and CIP thought it would be enough to give the GM-chars no cap to make them unable to attack anything as they were unvulnerable.

Well as often they underestimated the creativity of people.

Take BPs of Light magic missiles (Mag Level 0 to use) and push them into the drag lord cave. Then even a GM can Level

We had a lot of fun on this Testserver but of course this “feature” was removed afterwards.

This picture shows what was possible back in the old Tibia.

People could summon Dragons and stuff and simply logout. After that the monsters would go wild and attack everyone.

It was possible to summon up to 8 monsters. As you see in the Picture. But since you got no Exp from Summon-Kills back then the only use of them was for PKing.
You ask yourself why you can only summon 2 monsters today and why they disappear after you log?

Here is the answer.
