Been playing Tibia for about a month now and payed for Premium yesterday.
Should I be ashamed!!!
It is...Tibia...
On the bright side, I find it way more fun than any modern MMO. And I'm in a pretty good group/guild...
I guess as long as I'm having fun, right?
Like I said,every modern MMO I've tried ends up being so bad. Its either 100% PvP with horrible PvE and more like a deathmatch CoD clone...or 100% PvE themepark Everquest clone with the worst PvP ever.
I did do a hardcore PvP server on Tibia. And I get amazing PvE, with amazing PvP...something no modern MMO has. PvP isn't all ganking either (though like old UO, it happens)...but I already renting a house, and have backup equipment in storage. And like I said, in a really good group of people. I do get killed, and death is quite a set back...but I haven't encountered it much, and mostly escape or avoid it all together.
Server is Dolera by the way, and character is Baelzharon (anyone get that reference? Best boss in any game (it was an MMO) ever.)
And unlike modern MMOs that segregate their population...I've met people from all over the world.
One lives in Africa (but hasn't said what part for privacy reasons), some in the middle east, a few in Russia...all over...old MMOs didn't segregate their population, so I find this great. Its why I mostly choose Europe servers (as NA), in other MMOs...because it is more diverse on them.
Anyway, I'm having fun. But it is Tibia...I feel ashamed.
