/vr/ - Retro Games

Alright, sorry to keep you waiting. Had to make sure you guys won't break the server in the first 5 minutes.

A couple things to keep in mind:
- The server is in Europe
- I'm hosting it on a laptop I had laying around
- The laptop is connected to my home's wifi
- It may lag

I was obsessed with Tibia mysteries 15 years ago. My favorites were the sword of fury and the basilisk. People figured out how to make the sword disappear from its island and supposedly it would move somewhere else where it was actually obtainable but as far as I know no one ever actually managed to get it (or if they did they never shared how).

In 2006 someone named Dennis aka Toor 'hacked' CIP and got access to all of the server-side files that ran the game including quests, dialogue, etc. According to him the Sword of Fury is obtainable though very hard to get but he never explained how. Knightmare, the dev who created Rookgaard, has also confirmed that it's possible to get the sword but if I remember correctly he wouldn't comment on whether or not anyone has actually gotten it.

Back when I played using a pick on certain ground tiles in Rookgaard would open up entrances to secret chambers. Once that became common knowledge CIP removed them and people tried testing every ground tile assuming they had just moved it somewhere else.

As for the basilisk, my guess is it was part of an unfinished quest or was just never actually meant to be anything more than a flavor creature. I would love to talk to the people who made the game and learn about all the secrets, cut content, etc. Maybe one day when Tibia is gone a dev from back then will share some cool stories with us.
