uite some time has passed since our last update in December. Of course, we have not been on holiday! Today, we would like to tell you what we have been working on and what are our plans for the near future.

Tibia has grown dramatically. The maximum number of players online has increased from about 3,000 around Christmas to more than 8,000 now. 4 new game worlds have been set up since then. This expansion consumes a great part of our daily working time as servers have to be maintained and inquiries of players have to be answered. As a consequence, we are forced to hire some employees. This step, ranging from moving to a larger office to recruiting staff and implementing tools for them, is another great effort. But then (hopefully from August on), we will be able to provide many new updates for the game and better support for you.

Our next goal will be to extend the map by a new area, so that the capacity of each world can be risen to 1,000 players, and to optimize the server code (which is already being done). After that, game freezes will be history once and for all. Also, we will implement some new features, e.g., quests, special effects, worlds with different rules, or even sound, but we have not selected that yet. We hope that we can present this update in autumn.

Of course, we have invested much time into our second game, Tibia Micro Edition, which is the world's first online role-playing game for mobile devices. You could say that we should have dedicated that amount of time to the original Tibia, but it is very important for our company to base on several projects. This makes sure that the company will survive even if one project gets into trouble. With more employees we will be able to push several projects at the same time. By the way, Tibia Micro Edition is a very cool game and you should definitely have look at it.

Thank you for your patience and have much fun in Tibia!
