Hello Tibians,

We are entering a critical phase in the history of ClassicOT. As we announced previously, we are completely moving away from the TFS/Nostalrius engine to RealOTS.

We are currently in the process of a massive portability operation. We are taking all the custom functionality, map details, and features that make ClassicOT unique and porting them directly into the authentic CipSoft source code from 2007, which we have meticulously adjusted and downgraded to function as a native 7.10 server.

This is not a "base" or an emulation; this is the real game engine adapted to our version. To ensure everything is perfect before the official launch, we are opening a Public Test Server.

Why Test?

We need to ensure that the port from TFS to the Real Engine is seamless. We want you to stress-test the mechanics, the map, and the authentic behavior that only this engine can provide.

Authentic 7.10 Mechanics (What to Expect)

During this test, you will experience the raw, unfiltered gameplay of the early days. We have configured the engine to respect the specific limitations and challenges of version 7.10:

• No Diagonal Pathing (Hardcore Movement):

  • Players: Automatic diagonal walking is disabled. You must manually "sidestep" to move diagonally.

  • Monsters: They cannot walk diagonally.

• Combat & Magic:

  • UH Traps: Fully functional old-school UH trap mechanics.

  • Promotion: Cost lowered to 10k.

• Authentic Monster AI:

  • No Fleeing: Monsters will not run away on low HP; they fight to the death.

  • Melee Focus: Monsters will always attempt to reach melee range to attack.

  • Field Respect: Monsters cannot cross field runes (Fire/Energy/Poison) unless they are naturally immune to that element.

  • Monsters: Stronger creatures will not kill weaker creatures that block their path.

  • Targeting: No retargeting. Monsters will stick to their primary target until it dies or disappears.

How to Join the Test

We invite everyone to download the client and help us polish this transition. This is your chance to see the difference between an emulator and the real code.
