Tibia History

For a contemporary Tibian, using the term “Tibiaball” just goes without saying. On a sundays afternoon you gather some friends, set up a pitch with two goals and start playing good old Tibiaball.

Tracing back the very first origins of Tibiaball brings us back to the early days of Tibia or more precisely to the time when Tibians invented pushing.

I heard you are mostly looking for stories about where the rare items came from so I start with the story where the first Helmet of the Stars came into the game - or better: into the possession of a player.
