Tibia 1997

About this game

A multiplayer online role playing game released in January 1997, free to play with an optional premium account, in a fantasy world drawn in pixel art on a two dimensional tile map seen from above. At its core you kill monsters for loot and experience, which raises your level, in one of five vocations picked early, each with its own spells and abilities. Around that is a whole life. Quests give rewards, bosses drop rare items, and players can fight each other, form guilds, buy and decorate houses or guildhalls, or spend time fishing, training skills and role playing. Even the people work their own way, since characters run by the game are spoken to by typing keywords such as Hi and Trade. A world where even talking to its people is typed still makes it a distinct place to log in today.
