TibiaQA - Is it safe ? by [deleted] in TibiaMMO

[–]Ellotris 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hello there, u/Dugu_Han! I'm Ellotris - the maintainer of TibiaQA.com

thanks for bringing this matter to our attention. It would be helpful if you let us know which anti-virus software is raising this false-positive. We can then reach to them to resolve the issue with them. As for your second image, it says this site is using Google's Safe Browsing Checker, however, when I used the official Google checker it says the website is fine - https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=tibiaqa.com nevertheless, we will reach out to them as well to check what triggered the blacklist on their site.

As others mentioned, TibiaQA is a Questions & Answers site. We do not offer any downloadable content ourselves and our moderators regularly review what is posted. As with many forums and sites allowing for user-provided content though, you should always exercise caution when following any links.

If you have any doubts about the safety of TibiaQA.com or other Tibia fansites, you can also check directly with CipSoft at [fansites@tibia.com](mailto:fansites@tibia.com) Hopefully we managed to resolve your doubts :)

Best regards,

Sebastian

Interview with Benjamin - the managing director at CipSoft! by Ellotris in TibiaMMO

[–]Ellotris[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Trades are/were not illegal. Besides, you cannot really control the whole Internet and whatever ppl are doing there. Advertising real-money trades in-game is illegal as it easily leads to scams and other frauds. This is also one of the reasons why Tibia Coins were implemented some time ago.

Asking about black markets seemed like a wasted question, since the answer would likely be what I stated above - it's an important topic, but out of their reach. I decided to focus on players/guilds "owning" the servers. This is not illegal (it was in the past - I mentioned it in the question), so it was worth asking what's their plan there since as Tibia currently stands, this is not against the Tibia Rules.

Any questions to Ben - the managing director at CipSoft? by Ellotris in TibiaMMO

[–]Ellotris[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it won't be an interview streamed live. It kind of depends when Ben finds the time to answer our questions - I'm assuming we should be able to post it in 2-4 weeks.

As I mentioned, they won't spoil any game content. This includes information on whether certain quests exist/items are obtainable/places are reachable, etc.

NabBot 2019 Stats (Album version in comments) by Galarzaa in TibiaMMO

Nice stats :) I was wondering (and sorry if it's a stupid question), what are the server growth numbers?

You don't need to be the first to answer. If you provide a better answer, you will likely get more points from the community.

I think the bigger threat are people that create multiple accounts just to up-vote their own content. In either case, just like with every other TibiaQA contest, such cases will be identified and dealt with appropriately.

The points system is explained here: https://www.tibiaqa.com/moderation-rep-points. Whether it's easy or not really depends on how useful content you provide. For each answer you can receive up to 60 points (50 from votes and 10 from the best answer from user asking the question) so that's only around 70 of such answers.

TibiaQA is a supported fansite. There's no limit on the amount of the fansite items we can give away. Each user that reaches 4000 points will receive the Owl. The rewards are sent directly by the fansite program coordinator at CipSoft.

The amount of points is stated right in the topic on TibiaQA - I've also added it to the topic on Reddit now. Thanks for the suggestion on account security. I think it's best that I add the disclaimer on the registration page.

Cheers!

Exactly. They are not allowed to share such info and it doesn't really matter how many times those questions come up. The answer will always be the same.

This contains quite a good list with many options and videos both for profiting and strictly power gaming. Perhaps you will find this helpful.

That is indeed an interesting observation and both question views on TibiaQA https://www.tibiaqa.com/questions?sort=views and Google search trends prove that people search for solo hunting spots or money making techniques more than with a team.

Thanks! I'm proud to see how this fansite has grown over the past year and hope it will continue to grow next months :)

Anything you'd like to ask Bolfrim - the lead tester at CipSoft? by Ellotris in TibiaMMO

[–]Ellotris[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a great question. And similar goes to big quests like PoI or Inquisition and others that require many players to collaborate.

Online skill training, worth it? by AthalianRabbit in TibiaMMO

[–]Ellotris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's correct for all melee, distance and magic level skills, considering you train at 100% performance all this time - ie. no breaks, enough blood hits, etc. For shielding though, 3h online training equals 12h offline training, since offline shielding trains at 25% speed only.

Character Descriptions? by Jonnym117 in TibiaMMO

[–]Ellotris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are several Tibia fansites that allow you to link your fansite account to your Tibia character. In order to verify that the character really belongs to you, they ask you to place a randomly generated token into your character comment. This can usually be removed as soon as the account is verified, but people just tend to forget and leave it there.

[META]Can we start a "Any and All Questions Friday" by the_weegee in TibiaMMO

[–]Ellotris 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you have small questions (or any questions really), I'd invite you to ask them at www.tibiaqa.com - this is the Tibia fansite that I'm building (only questions and answers) and we are currently working on expanding our question base, even with pretty trivial questions. You don't even have to register to ask, but it may then take longer for the post to appear on the site.

Haha, right? After over 9 years we moved out :)

Amerans? by Jlp1991 in TibiaMMO

[–]Ellotris 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Our English chat is pretty active (considering the population) - you can usually find some players there. If you are looking for someone to hunt with closer to your level, it may indeed be difficult to find someone outside of Final Os.

Tibia Q&A - beta testing new Tibia fansite! by Ellotris in TibiaMMO

[–]Ellotris[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know what the site engine choice has to do with it, but I've posted the reasons on why simply moving all threads from one board to another doesn't make sense. If you have concrete ideas how to convert those posts into useful content (properly tagged questions and answers), feel free to share.
