Question by User:Wudal23
I know a lot of people including myself are looking forward to being able to transfer characters amongst servers, However the last anyone has heard about this was almost a month ago. It would be great to know how this is coming along, and when it will be implemented.

Wudal23 00:36, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

Late December with the next major update, I'm pretty sure. -- Sixorish 03:48, October 19, 2009 (UTC)

Has been implemented, November 5 (but is not yet available - may be a few more days). Odd because it wasn't in synchronization with previous dates. -- Sixorish 16:53, November 6, 2009 (UTC)

Question by User:Sir Mezmerize
Some people say, that CipSoft bans/deletes mostly facc players, as not to loose people who pay for pacc and therefore not to loose money. It's obvious that even pacc players bot (especially on non-pvp worlds). What's your opinion about that.

Question by User:Zefirous
I want to ask about the evolution of the game, there are much improvals wich can be made, like a storyline, tibia its a game based on norse mythology so i maybe some quests based on norse stories would be interesting, vocations could be improved, like raising the gap between them, make knights better blockers, paladins better shooters, mage better spellcasters and better attack spells, druids better team healers, introduce new creatures like centaur or pegasus, improving the gameplay, like better tools, and macros that would not affect the games spririt but improve it, there are many ideas and things that could be changed. I exposed my opinion, i would like to know what do you think about the future of the game, maybe expose your own ideas about it, and, do you think my ideas where any good? xD

Zefirous 09:43, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

You didn't ask a question ... you just stated your own proposal for future update(s). Can you rephrase this so as to ask about something? -- Sixorish 14:11, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

Yes, i kinda did that, i stated at the end my real question, i want to know which are the ideas from a cipsoft for a future tibia.

Question by User:Luck Skywalker
Hello Cipsoft, I playing tibia since 2003 and don't have problem with the game but many of my friends and RLs are retired for the Updates, I hope you see my question and have a good answer.

Please Cipsoft, Do you can make a old version Tibia? Many of my friends pay if Tibia as before the 8.0 Update. I love the old times and playing only for fun.

Also, would you please tell me any other changes on the next update?

Question by User:Cyrus Star from Honera
What are the technical details of preventions you've taken against DDoS attacks?

Question by User:Furabolt
Hello CIP, I'm a long time player, and my questions are about the skull system and removing exp by pking from PVP-E. What made you decide to limit the frag number for you to get a red skull? Now the system gives you 3 unjusts and then you have a red head next to your name, thats not fair on those who sometimes have to kill other chars, whether it be in war or just a noob entering your spawn. If you've read the forums on tibia.com, you' understand that we don't want this, yet you still emplimented it, Why?

Onto the person killing exp thing, Why are you doing this? is it because of the world transfer idea?

The reason people play pvp-e is because of the fun of not having to hide from skull bashers, and getting exp from killing higher levels in the war. Whats the point in trying to kill high levels if your just killing them because they're afk or botting? wasnt that part of the reason its PVP-E?

Cheers,

Furabolt.

Question by User:Craggles
Two parts: Clearly you're lagging behind on the times by not going 3D - understandable considering the majority of your market don't have high spec p.c's. However, it's common knowledge that the way tibia is built requires alot of processing power for a whole lot of nothing. Have you guy's considered just totally remaking the client? You could no doubt make it into a web app or phone app and it'd be identical to the original tibia, with modern technology advances.

Question by User:Lolaie
Hello CIP, I want to ask you Can you make more hunt places / Monsters for level 40 - 80 ? And also i would like that you make Knights More balanced!

Question by User:Masterjojje
Hello cip!

Question 1: Why are you deleting the experience of killing people on pvp-enforced?

Question 2: I heard rumors that you are implenting a world transfer service...If they are true would you please tell us more about it?

Question 3: Are you planning to make a free account island in the future? Like yalahar but for lower levels and not as big spawns?

Question 4: Instead of banning botters cant you just make a new anti-cheat tool that blocks the connection of people with bot started? (Abit of a suggestion)

//JOHAN!

Question 2 is implemented now and will soon be available to experience for yourself, so may be disregarded. -- Sixorish 16:50, November 6, 2009 (UTC)

Question by User:Daniel Letalis
What are the specific steps you are or will be taking to improve rule enforcement system with the rules that are being aplied now? and most important, what are the specific steps you are or will be taking to apply the rules that are currently never or almost never applied (those includes General Rule, most of Statements rules and some of Cheating Rules(Sharing, Hacking, Game Weakness Abuse))?

Question by User:Sezik
Hello,

I would like to ask about hardware Tibia Servers are running on (Sun Servers?) and about database engine (MySQL/PGSQL)? And operating system of the servers (Debian/CentOS/FreeBSD/WINDOWS)?

Many players would like to know that informations.

Question by User:Mentor Aragoth
This is a very controversial topic, but it has to be asked! What is your opinion on the OT servers, and does Cipsoft look at them at all? --Mentor Aragoth 22:13, October 18, 2009 (UTC)

Question by User:Brahma Mens
I got quite a few questions. 1) Despite the thousands of posts on the forums from the massive amount of lags/kicks obviously not on our end of the connection from all of these DOS attacks why didn't we get compensated? (RUBERA) You closed our topics and posts on the forums and just denied the problem entirely saying it was our fault. If hundreds of people post on the forums from all over the world didn't you think it was appropriate for some compensation and perhaps your fault. Why did you guys do that? 2) Balancing Knights so paladins cannot replace them is a must, after lvl 150 paladins are by far the most efficient, and versatile class while knights just die off and are basically a second choice blockers. What are you planning to fix this problem, and make knights more efficient while hunting harder monsters just a little more profitable? 3) When is tibia going to start getting more balanced creatures? If there is only so many good creatures to hunt and profit on, it just makes war and controlling guilds have that much more power. All we ask of you is to not make useless creatures.

-- Sixorish 03:39, October 19, 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) There are so many possible causes for these types of problems&mdash;a node along the route hundreds of players make use of dying would have a similar effect to that of a fully-fledged DoS attack. These issues cannot be resolved or prevented by CIP if said nodes are not under their control. You must also consider that they most likely have network administrators there most of the day to counter such attacks, as well as scripts run (to log, etc.) when a suspected attack occurs. If they go unnoticed, it is virtually impossible to verify whether or not there was an attack at all. If they took every player's word for it, they would be bankrupt by now. They're a business before a gaming company, they have employees to pay.
 * Please also refer to their legal documents, specifically Extended Tibia Service Agreement terms 7 and 8.
 * 1) This isn't a question.

Question by User:Xuban
Question for Customer Support.

What is the process of deciding which proposals from the Tibia proposal forum are good for the game and which are not? Is it the decision of one person or do you get together as a team and go through the 1000's of proposals which appear each month?

Question by User:Grand Niefzenn
HI CIP,

1st: I would like to ask you what progress or priority does vocation balance have to you (ie Knights underpowered)?

2nd: What about to ban ALL botters at once for 1 Month? This would help the fair players to see who respects the rules and to give them in this 1 Month the possibility to gain some extra xp in free non botted huntingspots.

Question by User:Jagkanprata
Whats the main reason that you guys do not make a 7.4-7.72 server, as more then thousands of the players/members of this cummunity wish.

Question by User:Klapaucius Rnex
Since TibiaWiki now shows some statistics like for loots and such, couldn't a staff member clarify legends about looting and some other things in Tibia? Like people say some areas have a better loot rate than others, etc. Klapauciusrnex 10:19, October 20, 2009 (UTC)

Last update the NPC Turian was introduced but quite some players (including me) could not find him. Could you tell us (without any intention to spoil anything) if he is accessible? ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 20:56, October 25, 2009 (UTC)

Question by User: Jengo
Hello, can cipsoft make a kind of guide for all vocations for example tibia.wikia have a guide for knight. The other question was is excalibug gonna come back in a sort of quest Can you make more monster for lvl 20-50? And can you make a rule against power abuse? A tip for that is you can't atk players to big difference against your lvl for example a lvl 50 can kill all 45-55 but not higher, that should lower power abuse. And can you make a place where you can fight to death against other players like a duel arena but if you kill the other player you get teleported outside the arena you don't loose items or exp.

Regards, Jengo

i hope i helped a bit good luck Iuk

Question by User:Xomoda
Dear Cipsoft Member, One of the most discussed question of your fair playing customers is: 'Does CIP protect botters?' Your new detection tool doesn't even banish 1 of 100 players using a bot, but nonetheless GMs aren't given their old "power" again. I'm looking forward to this question being asked and honestly answered.

Yours, Adomox

What is the history behind the NPC that buys blank runes from players? Was it put in as a joke or some greater purpose behind it?

Question by User:DaLooK
hello.. i make a little program.. its used to launch different set of hotkeys on tibia.. its based on the use of the path argument that can be used on the shortcuts.. the program does not modifiy the client.. just make it load different hotkeys.. so.. my question is.. is it legal to use without ban risk..??

It's not illegal, as it doesn't modify the client or give you an unfair advantage in-game. -- Sixorish 17:03, November 6, 2009 (UTC)

Question by User:Baron Samesa
Hello CipSoft:

I have a question. For more than 10 years now there has been a Tibian Genesis. I was wondering, when will the course of the genesis continue?

Question by User:pwl
Hello, '''I'd like to know if there's any possibility to improve client cotrols by letting the user set his own key configuration ? For example: instead of using Arrow Keys (up, down, left, right) or numpad (1, 3, 7, 9) keys to walk obliquely (polish ukośnie) there could be a method of setting keys individually for each person and how that person likes. imho, alternative controls defined by me: W - Arrow Up S - Arrow Down A - Arrow Left D - Arrow Right E - my bind for F8 "exura" Z - mana potions X - health potions C - Spirit Potions Space Bar - potion 1-9 Alternative spells required by individuals You might say why? Well due to the lack of configurable keys (Normal keyboard has around 102+ keys - Tibia client let's you configure 12, with Ctrl and Shift there are 36 combinations), and the ergonomy of use. Most common used hotkeys in reach of a finger. So that you will not have to choose between: marking another target + healing yourself or walking + healing or marking targets + walking. There is always something missing. Currenct hotkey setting forces user to lift had to another space. When it is a real time game seconds are matter of life and death. '''Is it possible to make backup configs switching easier (for other users/vocations) ? How often you play with someone using the same PC (brother/sister/parent :P, yah older ppl play this also) and each time you have to set hotkeys - yes i know you can copy it but it should be easier! Or when you wanna play your other character (often it's a different vocation) you need to set all up. Options -> Hotkeys -> Pwl_pally_hotkeysetting.cfg Options -> Hotkeys -> Pwl_druid_hotkeysetting.cfg My apologies, this went to wide but I hope that someone get's the point of what i'm trying to say here and will construct some nice questions to a CipSoft staff member.

Question by User:Werhej
Hi! My question is short and specify. I have browsed almost whole internet :P, and haven't found the professional reply. Does recovery key is single use or i may use it whenever i want? I am rly sorry if it's seems to be a spam, but i alwayas wanted to ask a Gm about this, but i didnt have a chance to do this in game... :(

You may use it as many times as you wish. It's not a marketing scheme used by CIP, rather it's a security measure taken to prevent (permanent) theft of accounts. When you order a new recovery key, you do not gain a single use of your old key - your recovery key changes and is sent to your address.

Note that you shouldn't bother GMs with these questions - tutors would be happy to help you if you asked this in the help channel. -- Sixorish 17:00, November 6, 2009 (UTC)

Question by User:Silver Skan
Question for CIPSOFT member:

Greetings from Calmera!

I started in Nova in December of '02 and moved to Calmera in July '03. I have pursued quests for nearly 7 years now and am happy to report that I have solved some of them. That being said, I have not solved any "real quests" (meaning quests that were implemented before '04 in the format of the 'new' quest system) in a very long time. Regarding this, my question is so: Are there any active quests that can be solved that were implemented long ago? The thrill I got solving the ornamened shield, violet gem, naginata, and other quests long ago still sticks with me. I certainly hope that one day I will be able to claim that I brought down the magic wall in Shadowthorn, or that I was able to secure an item that is otherwise unattainable.

Thank you and bless you all,

Silver Skan, Knight of Calmera
