Quick, name a few of the world's oldest MMORPGs! Now, name a couple that are still running. Chances are most of you chimed in with Ultima Online, EverQuest, or maybe even Meridian 59. You're correct of course, but there's another title that released in 1997 that's still going today.
That title is Tibia, and the 2-D fantasy game from CipSoft GmbH has just announced a world-changing summer update. World quests are "highly complex missions which can only be accomplished if dozens or even hundreds of Tibia players cooperate," according to a new press release.
The new quests add another level to Tibia's conflict-driven dynamic that sees players and guilds war with one another for years at a time, as the battlefield will now extend further into the open world and likely result in competition for quest objectives. Tibia is also offering a new quest line for newbs. The comprehensive tutorial series leads new players through various gameplay tasks and offers a concise yet thorough introduction to one of the genre's longest-running titles.

Whoa. Didn't realize this still existed. Before I picked up WoW way back when, I played Tibia for a bit because it was the first unrestricted free game I could find. Don't know how it is now, but I guess it's cool to hear it's still around and doing updates.

Awesome, I played this one for a solid year before moving on, but I still love it. However, I dunno if I have it in me to play it again.

I've vaguely heard about it, but never played it myself.
It's cool to know it's still around. I might give it a spin.

Tibia charges WoW prices for a subpar game where everyone is falling over classic Ultima style.

you seem to think Tibia is free to play and not pay to win.
Ok, lets go through all the major stuff you miss out when not being a subscriber
Access to Premium Areas which essentially count as 1/3 of the entire world
Easy transportation which can save hours of time
More skills and stats capable of making an idiot with premium surpass a non-premium veteran to the game
Houses, taking away from the grindfest
I am not publicizing WoW, but even that horrid game is better than Tibia. I would not pay even 1 dollar for a membership in Tibia
