s many of you will already know, we have recently moved office. There was certainly much work to do, and we have all been very busy to ensure that we can provide a trouble-free operation of the game while moving. Finally, the relocation is completed and everybody got accustomed to the new working place. The normal course of life has already found its way into the new office and it is surely a relief that we do not have to work between packing cases anymore! Most importantly, we are happy and proud to announce that we managed to move office without any major problems and especially without any interruptions in the game service.

We have decided to abandon our beloved old office for strategic reasons. With the new office, we will have space for further expansion. We will continue hiring new staff to improve our service further and to develop new cool features for Tibia and for TibiaME. Our present team consists of a total of 22 people which divide into several departments. The largest department is the customer support, where 8 hard-working team members look after the community and keep the website up-to-date. Also, there are 3 programmers who do all the tricky software coding. 3 notoriously busy system administrators work hard to ensure a smooth and trouble-free game service. Our creative department currently consists of 2 resourceful content writers who make up new stories and design new areas as well as a gifted graphic artist who spends his days drawing impressive new pictures and objects. Finally, there are our 4 executive officers, the founders of Tibia and CipSoft, who manage the whole company and, last but not least, our omnipresent team assistant who organises the office. A new programmer will join the team in February and a marketing manager in March. It's safe to say more people will follow soon so we will be well prepared for the challenges the future has in store. After all, with more manpower, positive changes in the game play and in our service can be realised more quickly and with even better results.

We are all already very eager to start working on the annual summer update. Our creative minds have rolled up their sleeves, and a first preview on the planned topics will be presented here in a couple of weeks. So stay tuned!

See you in Tibia!
Your CipSoft Team
