Test server report (part 2)

The new PM features have some nice things. A first thing you can do now is switch the PM's in the middle of your screen off. This might be usefull if you want to hunt whitout getting disturbed or if you're making a movie.



But this is not the only new PM feature. There is alos a new feature called a white list. People on this list can message you while you're ingoring PM's. To access this list just click on the icon you click on to open your ignore list. You can also select the option 'Allow VIPs to message you' if you want all people from your VIP list to be able to message you while ignoring PM's. Just as with the ignore list, you can make an allowed player permanent, or only untill you log out.




The new way trade channel works prevents you from getting banned by accidenlty putting a wrong message into the trade channel. To put a message there you now have to click on a button 'Advertise'. You can then enter the message you would like to see in trade channel. To prevent spamming the limit is still one message every 2 minutes, just like before.




There are more new features then you can read here, but the others are less important. E.g. there now is a chat channel for tutors only and etc. I hoipe this article helped a little into knowing what is going to come with the next mini update. I wish youy all a lot of fun on the test server, and later on in Tibia.

Test server report (part 1)

As you might have readed on the official homepage of Tibia the test server is online. It's not easy to log onto it, but it's possible. You'll probably get a message with 'Connection time-out' but if you keep trying you'll be online after a minute or two. Is it worth it, that's another question.

It's not really possible to hunt or explore something, since you're very likely to get kicked. I have been 20 minutes on test and I have been kicked 3 times. But remember that test server is to test new features, not to have fun. Now the client got an auto bug report option wich makes it easy for you to send it. The report window appears when you start the client, before you log in and looks like this:




What's new?

* New graphic options
* New PM options (white list, no pm's on game window...)
* New trade chat options
* New bug report feature

The new graphic options allow you to choose or DirectX5, DirectX9 or OpenGL. If you don't know what to choose and the old settings worked fine then choose DirectX5.

Old guild fun (part 1)

We from Starfox Revolution have not always been what we are today. Every single one of us has been a newbie. Looking to some old screenshots gave me the idea to post about those old times. Today I'll post about our first solo beholder hunts.

It's about 10 months ago that we all tried to solo a beholder. Our guild was called Gatekeepers that time, and we weren't very strong. We barely had money and runes and we were pleased if we could solo a beholder. Nashak (Legiunia Warschawa that time) was the strongest, I was the second, then Benders Wooping Terrier and Sammol and as last Celen The Giant and Countolaf. We were very good friends, and we all lived at Carlin Clanhall. I had the room in the basement, together with Celen The Giant and Countolaf, Sammol and Benders Woopng Terrier lived at the room in front of the door and in the other rooms some other guild members.

Some day Sammol decided to go to Kazordoon and to try and solo a beholder near the entrance there. He succeeded in this and after that Nashak, Benders Wooping Terrier and me tried to solo a beholder. We all managed to do this, some of us a little better then others but we didn't die :). Check again soon for more stories of the old days.

Bug at NPC

I was talking to a NPC at Thais when I noticed a bug. I bought a mace of the fury from Bozo and wanted to buy a second one, but the 98 platinum coins I had in my backpack changed into 98 crystal coins.

Update: this was an april fools joke.

Fire breathers at PoH

Already some time Arceon, Billy Mackem, Celen The Giant, me (on my paladin Fox The Giant) and some lower level friends of Arceon were going to do some quests at Plains of Havoc (PoH). A first quest we did was at a room wwith a firedevil, but I can't tell more about it else we would be spoiling.




After that we went to something a little more dangerous: Dragon caves. There were also some dragon lords down in those caves and sadly one of the lower level friends of Arceon died.




None of the others died and Celen The Giant did mana shield and SD'ed the Dragon Lords. Everyone else survived and succesfully made the quest. After that we went out safely and returned to the piecefull city Thais.


Person X: Free itans pls
Fox The Giant: -.-
Person X: plx

X-mas at March

My brother still had a decoration package containing a Christmas tree, and we tried to unpack it. It worked and so we had a Christmas tree :). Sadly enough it disapeared with the next server safe, and all that's left is a nice screenshot.

A lost soul (part 3)

I started talking to the Ghost but I didn't go any reply. A coal basin at the left corner of the room suddenly flamed. At the right of the room there was a coal basin too, but there was no fire there. At the rear corner of the room there was a stone with skulls on it. I walked to it and looked to the skulls. They looked human.

The Ghost suddenly said to me 'Put a skull in the burning coal basin', and after 2 minutes oof hesitating I did it. The fire faded and the coal basin at the right corner started burning. The Ghost sais once again 'Put a skull in the burning coal basin' and so I did.

The thing that happened then is unexplainable. I was upstairs were the Ghost should have been and my body was downstairs. I saw myself looking to myself, yes that's true. It seemed like I swapped places with the ghost. The body down yelled to me 'Thanks for setting me free'. Then I saw myself walking out of the cave. I realised what I did, I swapped places with him and now he was gone with my body and I'm the Ghost. I felt like a lost soul left behind all alone. I was cursed to get someone else inside and let him do the same then what the Ghst did to me so I could swap places with him. Weeks later I was still there, alone, wandering around like Ghost. I felt all life flow away...



The end.

A lost soul (part 2)

Suddenly I felt something flying against me. And again, and again... I was scared noww and sarted yelling. I tried to search trought my pockets again and found my flashlamp. Quickly I turned it on and I saw bats lying on the floor. Those were probably the bats that flow against me. Quickly I walked away from the bats and floowed my path going deeper inside the cave.

I heared the voices again. I could hear them a lot better now. They were yelling 'HELP ME'. I tought this was a human stucked in thecave, but I couldn't imagine that someone would go inside this cave. So I started wondering, if it's no human, then what is it? Then I realised that I just did it, I went inside the cave, so why wouldn't someone else. For a moment I tought to go back, outside, to where it's safe; but then I heard the voices again calling me for help. I realised that I had no chocie then to go help.

Further in the cave I came in a room with blood on the floor. Scared I looked trought the room looking for monsters, but I couldn't see any. The blood was dark red and it didn't look very fresh. It was dry and it colored the stones. I touched it with my finger, but my finger didn't colored red. Maybe animals lived here long ago. Once more the voices yelled for help, but with the difference that the voices sounded close now. I looked up and I saw, belive it or not, a Ghost.

A lost soul (part 1)

This is no Tibia adventure but a roleplaying story.

Last friday I woke up late in the afternoon. I hadn't sleep very well and was still tired. I baked myself some eggs and toasted some bread. I took the eggs and putted them on the toasted broad. Normally this is one of my favorite foods but not now. After 1 pieve of bread I trew the other bread and eggs away. I went outside for a walk.

I was walking in the forest near my house when I heared voices, voices asking to help them. I first tought it was my imagination, but I kept hearing them. I decided to go to the origine of the sound, but the more I walked the further they were away. I was about to give it up when I saw a cave with light shining out of it. I walked to the cave and was a little scared, but I grabbed all my courage together and stepped towards the cave.

When I was near the cave the light started to disapear. I couldn't see much anymore so I took my flashlamp and went inside the cave. After 10 steps I saw some kind of stairs going down. I followed the stairs down and continued my walk. Not even 20 seconds later I saw that light again. I turned off my flashlamp to save the batteries and followed the bright light wich was in front of me. 2 minutes long I walked when suddenly the light faded again. Everything was dark and I couldn't find my flashlamp.

Interviewing Sonoroman

2 days ago I asked Sonoroman the administrator of TibiaMx if I could interview him. He said he was honoured that we wanted an interview of him and that I surely could interview him. Yesterday I logged in on my Isara character to chat with Sonoroman when he came up with the idea to make a picture for the interview. He logged on Sonorook and made a picture of me and him.
